San Dieguito United Methodist Pre-School

I have nothing but the best things to say about this Preschool. I was blown away when I went on my first tour and as we are just finishing up our first year there, I can honestly say that I haven’t once had any problems or disappointments. It is phenomenal!
Once you are on the wait list (get on early!!), they will invite you for a tour of the school. It is good to see the classrooms with students in them learning and working so you can get a sense of what happens there on a daily basis.
When kids are dropped off, you are greeted by the preschool director, or assistant director, every single day. They say hello to each child and welcome them with a smile or hug or compliment. It immediately feels happy and safe. I love that the school doors are locked at all time and there is a lobby with a second set of doors before entering the school for safety and security of the students.
The teachers are friendly, focused on learning, both social and academic skills, and truly invested in your child. The activities that take place in the classrooms are fun for kids, but also connected back to learning topics. The whole school has the same theme for the week, but each class does their own individual projects, books, etc., to teach the theme.
They have great events to make family feel involved and welcomed — dad’s week, a mother’s day celebration, end of year family potluck, Christmas Program.
They have so many options for school, both as a permanent schedule, or drop-​in options (Early Birds, Lunch Bunch, Extended Stay) which you can pay for on a case by case basis, which is nice to use as a one off.
Everyday, my son came home from school happy and so proud of the work he did. I truly saw him grow as a person, in his confidence and flexibility in new situations, in his academic skills, and loved seeing him make friends. We will be attending this school for years to come with all of our children and I can’t recommend it enough.

This is an update to the original review. Our child has been attending the school for almost 6 months now and EVERYTHING has been excellent. Our child’s teacher is Miss Amy and she is wonderful! The entire staff seems to care about each child’s well being! Definitely the best preschool we’ve ever interviewed!
