It is seriously Escondido's best kept secret for parents/caretakers of toddlers. Children must be potty trained to attend and min age 3. The dedicated staff encourage parents to shadow and volunteer 1x/month which really gets all the families involved. There have been 4 class sessions per school year (m/w or t/th for 3-4 year olds) or (m/w/f or t/th for 4-5 year olds) and each session is about 2-3 hours long which is all my son can really sit through. HIGHLY recommend you being prepared to sign up your child day of registration opens and the school year follows a regular academic calendar. They don't publicize this program enough, so keep an eye on the escondido rec page for registration or call the city rec department. My son has participated in this program + summer program last 2 years and I am so grateful for the affordable and fantastic preschool community. He has developed leaps and bounds socially and academically. Miss Kathy has been teaching here for 24 years and miss Nicole , her classroom assistant is also so patient and awesome with the kids. My son didn't qualify for the income based free city preschool nor did he meet age requirements for preK through EUSD. This was a great resource for parents who fall "in between."

The staff is very friendly and I feel at ease knowing my daughters are being well taken care of. I like the security and how clean the facility ease.

I also like the app and that gives live notifications on food, naps, diaper changes, and activities. Overall, great value for backup care.

It's been really difficult getting back up care reservation at BH family center in Del Mar.

Can't recommend Danielle and her babysitters enough! We were staying in Carlsbad for a wedding and…read moreneeded babysitters for our 3 kids. We contacted the hotel and they connected us with Danielle. The hotel had some initial confusion with the pricing so Danielle ended up calling me to talk about my request. I had 6 month old twins and 2.5 year old that I needed sitters for. It was my sister's wedding at the hotel and both myself and my husband were in the wedding so we needed 2 babysitters to help with all 3 kids and get them to and from family photos. Danielle was more than happy to help and matched us with Lisa and Laura. Lisa was able to help wait near the wedding to ensure my 2.5 made it down the aisle as the ring bearer and Laura watched the twins and then ensure they were dressed and ready to get back down for photos. I'm not sure when I'll be in San Diego again but if you need a babysitter/nanny I highly recommend Danielle and her company!

We have 4 kids which can be a lot for me, let alone a care giver. They are 11, 7, 4 and 1. My husband and I didn't want to have to deal with different daycares, after school programs and prices so we decided a nanny was the way to go. We found Bloom Care online and reached out to them. Emily got in touch with us promptly and we gave her a list of what we wanted in a nanny. I thought our criteria would be hard to match. Not only did she match us with the perfect nanny, she gave us better. She did her due diligence and we could not be happier! A few friends have also been matched with great nanny after our experience. Bloom Care has a gift and they're the best agency I've ever used! Thank you Bloom Care! I wouldn't hesitate to utilize their services.

After applying to a position that looked like a great fit for me, I was contacted just minutes later by Emily & Nikole! It was my first time working with an agency so I didn't know exactly what to expect but they have exceeded my expectations! I had an initial interview with Emily to get screened and placed into the agency and she was amazing and such a great help. She matched me with an amazing family very soon after that and assured me her work didn't stop there as she would be available as a mentor as I navigate through my nanny career. Bloom Care even offers back-up care so if there's a family that needs last minute care, coverage or even date night babysitting, they will reach out via email and ask if you're available to work so there's plenty of opportunities for work even if you're already a nanny or just looking for babysitting gigs! I love how nice, responsive and helpful Bloom Care is! I highly recommend them whether you're a nanny looking to find a job with the help of an agency or a family looking for your perfect nanny!!

My goddaughter was having a horrible time with math and had a very important exam upcoming. We had…read moreexhausted many other resources when someone recommended that we try College Nannies & Tutors. We walked in without an appointment and rather late in the day, yet the person who met with us was very professional and genuinely wanted to help. The problem was our situation was quite unique. My goddaughter is in the Cal State system and could not pass her math exams. She has a math learning disability and despite so many other tutors and other types of help, she just couldn't get passed her match course and it was jeopardizing her status at the university. She had a final test coming up and if she passed, she would fulfill her math requirement at the university and be allowed to stay, but if not, she would be dis-enrolled from the university. Add to it, she only had ten days until the test. No pressure at all. Normally tutoring for this would occur over several weeks, even several months and we only had 10 days. I explained the situation to the person at the office and I really expected her to smile and say, sorry we can't help you. Instead, she did smile but told us she understood the critical nature and would do everything to help. She made a couple of calls and found us a tutor willing to help. To make it even more convenient, the tutor agreed to come to us and tutor my goddaughter at my home instead of making her go to their office. The price was absolutely reasonable when you go online and look at other tutoring services. Bailey was the tutor assigned and on the first day she showed up right on time. After the first session my goddaughter already felt more confident and felt Bailey's methods and way of explanation were helping her greatly. This went on for the ten days and Bailey even came by the morning of her exam just for a quick refresher and prep in case she had any last minute questions. The bottom line... my goddaughter passed her exam! If I haven't expressed the significance of this, it really needs to be emphasized. My goddaughter was in her second year of college but just couldn't get passed the math. It took awhile before they even figured out she had a math learning disability but despite using their own tutors and tutors from the university, she just couldn't get passed that class. She has been a perfect student minus the math and unfortunately this situation has been a great amount of stress for her for the past year wondering whether or not she would be able to continue at the university or not. Coupled with the fact that she only had days left to prepare for what was going to be the "make or break" test of her college career. We had tried many other people and methods all of which failed to get her passed this stumbling block. And it needs to be mentioned the people at this center, Allison Dery, Director of Services and Bailey, our tutor, need to be commended for their help in a very unusual circumstance. Again, when we went in I fully expected them to tell us they couldn't help in such a short amount of time but they went above and beyond to help. Not only that, but they made it more convenient by coming to our home and there was a lot of paperwork they just waived for expediency. They were extremely accommodating and it can't be emphasized enough. If your child is having problems, I cannot give a high enough recommendation for this place and their services. Truly professional!
