Poway Country Preschool

My kids have attended this preschool for the past 7 years, my youngest just graduated Thursday night! She is doing math at a 1^st grade level and can read going into kindergarten, definitely ready to succeed in Elementary school! Both my kids started as infants in the baby room and attended the preschool all the way through Ms. Emi’s outstanding Pre-​K program! My oldest will be a 2^nd grader at Painted Rock in the fall, starting as a very young kindergarten only turning 5 two weeks before school started, was completely ready for kindergarten and is striving in all subjects, doing math & reading at a 3^rd grade level!
While talking to other moms at the Painted Rock about getting Pre-​K kids ready for kindergarten I found out that one of the kindergarten teachers at PR recommended putting your children in a quality preschool and Poway Country Preschool was 2^nd on the list! I so happy to hear this news and I agree this school is one of the best! At PCP all the teachers are outstanding! They have done an amazing job caring, teaching, and loving both my kids from a very young age and I highly recommend this school! I am very thankful to Poway Country Preschool for all that your school and teachers have done for my children, you will all be missed greatly!

My 2 daughters have been here for almost a year and I have had nothing but great experiences with this preschool! The ladies in the infant room are so sweet and loving. I know my daughter was happy and loved while I was at work. My oldest started just after she turned 2. She had a tough transition, (never being in daycare before) and was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder just after we started. I can’t even begin to describe how great her teacher was… And everyone else for that matter! Ms Nylea is so so patient and so amazing. My daughter has made huge improvements in her social skills and language, and I know she is blossoming because of her teacher. I am taking my girls out only because my daughter needs a special preschool. I would love to leave them in till kindergarten. I recommend this school 100% to anyone! It is priced reasonably compared to surrounding preschools, which is very helpful. Also there are lots of fun activities for the kids!

I had a child attend daycare/​preschool here for nearly 4 years. Hopefully, my youngest will be attending in the fall. I would be lying to you if I told you everything was perfect — from time to time we would have disagreements with teachers, or issues with school policies, but I doubt any place is the perfect school.
What is important is that my child thrived at this school and she loved going to school. She is now in the first grade and reads way ahead of her class, something I attribute directly to her teachers at PCP. She still has fond memories of the friends she met at PCP (some are still friends), as well as the teachers.
I never encountered dirt, dust, debris, etc. The school was always extremely clean.

My son attended this daycare for over eight months and would still be there if not for my change in jobs that took me to the South Bay.
As my maternity leave started to come to and end, my husband and I started seriously researching day care options for our son who would be two months old when he started day care. Starting a kid in daycare so young really limited our options (especially finding one close to my office), because many places required kids to be three or six months old. We fortunately found two places; one of which was Poway Country Preschool. We made an appointment for a visit, took a tour and shortly enrolled our son. Truth be told, one of the main reasons for choosing PCP at the time was the proximity to my office. But if I had the opportunity again, I’d choose PCP for many other reasons.
My son’s primary caretakers/​teachers in the infant/​toddler room, Miss Christine and Miss Sarah, were absolutely wonderful. I truly felt like they (and Miss Emi and the other PCP staff) cared about his well-​being and development, which was comforting to me as a working mom who dropped off her son at 7:00 in the morning and picked up at 5:45pm. They helped with tummy time, getting him to sit, crawl, transition to solids, and all the other things infants do from three to nine months. I think he also loved being around all the «big» kids.
If we end up moving nearby in a few years as we hope to, I will definitely re-​enroll my son at PCP!

We drive from Lakeside to take our son here. It is very well run, clean and fun for our 2 year old.

This is where my little boy Cooper goes for daycare. We really like this place (and will be sending our baby girl there when she is 4 months old). The prices are fair and the care is very good, as we have developed a good relationship with the teachers. It’s located in the heart of Poway and easily accessible. I would recommend (and have) this place to people with kids in the Poway/​RB/​Scripps/​4S Ranch area.

Ashne and her team are amazing! My daughter has been there for almost four years, she is leaving for kindergarten this week and we are heartbroken. She started in the infant room and has had the opportunity to work with every teacher at PCP. All of them were great, their caring and loving attitudes and the addition of Miss Emi in the preschool program is phenomenal! They really are ready for kindergarten. Ashne has become like family to us and I highly recommend PCP to any parent who wants to have their children loved and taught during the day!
