Day Care
Welcome to a place filled with warmth and light, smiles and laughter, fun and fitness, love and learning. Our school offers an engaging, nurturing environment for every child, during the most critical early years, starting in infancy. By adhering to high standards, we help mold inquisitive, confident kids, who are socially, physically, and academically prepared for school. As a 21st century preschool, our STEAM curriculum brings the world into every classroom. Integrated, hands-on learning experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math provide a foundation to ensure children are prepared to navigate a changing world. As they grow, your children will need to be makers and thinkers, and that's why this approach ensures that they thrive and develop the necessary skills to embark on their future. This school of today will prepare your child for the world of tomorrow.

Kids Castle is a licensed family home daycare for children, aged 6 weeks old and up. Our school combines academic learning with structured play in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. It has been an absolute joy to have been working in this field for more than 20 years. In my years working as a preschool teacher at a well established center, I focused on getting to know each child individually in order to meet their needs best. I believe that it is in these tender years where children develop vital personal and social skills which they cultivate as they age. Giving them the time, care and attention they need and deserve is of utmost importance in helping them grow. As the kids progress, we will engage in creative arts and crafts. In addition, I will be teaching them the alphabet and numbers. I also believe that teaching children etiquette is key in shaping their future, as well as it will help them learn how to play and socialize with other kids in a positive manner so they can best enjoy the bliss of childhood. Facility Number: 376627395

Most importantly, I love children and enjoy caring for them, nurturing them, and watching them grow to become their own person. Many of the parents had their children stay at my daycare until they went off to Pre-K! Those who became big brothers and sisters, also had their siblings join my daycare. :-) Additionally, I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce, member of the Better Business Bureau, and I am CPR certified. I have worked for two big companies and I even have a food handling certificate. I would love to meet with you to have your child join my Home Daycare.

Essential to truly educating the whole child is to nourish their spiritual lives. At Coastal Sage Montessori, we believe that each child is unique, made in the image of God and earnestly seeking to understand the world around them, who they are, and what they are made for.

Kindergarten
At LePort, we help our students acquire the essential knowledge, thinking skills, and strength of character required to flourish as joyous children today, and as successful adults tomorrow. Our unique program emphasizes the relationship between the academically challenging material presented in the classroom, and the breadth of experiences children have in their lives outside of the classroom. Our school is housed on the charming estate of a former Carlsbad mayor, complete with a quaint courtyard, a lush garden, and large grassy field enclosed by a beautiful mosaic covered wall. In this idyllic setting, students experience an authentic Montessori education where learning consists of exploring and discovering a rich, carefully sequenced curriculum, brought to life with a wide range of hands-on Montessori materials. Our mixed-age preschool and elementary classrooms allow children to develop a spirit of cooperation and caring within our learning community. Our curriculum is designed to allow each child to move ahead at his own, unique pace, accelerating quickly in some subjects while practicing longer in others. With this approach, our students ultimately exceed the public school common core standards in all areas.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Carlsbad, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Carlsbad, CA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Carlsbad, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Carlsbad, CA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Carlsbad, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in Carlsbad, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
