ABC Children's Center at San Diego - San Diego, California

Gina Wagner

We are so thrilled to have found ABC Children’s Center through our friends! We were looking for a great preschool program with plenty of opportunity for social skill development/play, as well as stimulating early academics by wonderful teachers, and actually found it here.

The school staff is amazing. Our son absolutely loves his teachers, as well as the office staff. He talks about his teachers in a way that truly demonstrates how supported and comfortable he feels at ABC. Our son amazes us with new skills and knowledge everyday from ABC. Skills that he refuses to work on with me at home (a former teacher) have been developing with ease at school. The pictures provided throughout the day on the parent app provide opportunities to ask about specific projects, toys, friends, etc. that we have seen, as opposed to the vague, “What did you do in school today?” that we all heard growing up. Instead, our conversations are guided by the pictures to provide a prompt for our son, such as, “Did you learn about Saturn today?” or “I think I saw a picture of a caterpillar in your class today. Can you tell me about it?”

It’s clear that all student areas are set up to foster independence and provide choices throughout the school day. The classrooms are comfortable, organized, and set up in a way that’s conducive to learning and independence. Their monthly “Family Hour” provides us with the opportunity for our son to proudly show us the classroom and what he likes to do. He loves to introduce us to his friends, and shows us what’s new (the sensory tables and are always a huge hit with all of the kids, including siblings!). The outdoor space is also wonderful. There are little play houses, stores, a water station, grass area, large sand play area, fun places to climb and play, etc. My son is a big fan of the trike track, but it is also fun to see him doing other activities and games with his friends.

We would recommend ABC to anyone looking for a special, safe place for their kids to belong when they aren’t in their care. We couldn’t be happier to have our son enrolled for preschool, and look forward to sending our daughter next year.

Our son has attended ABC since he was 6 months old. The staff and teachers take wonderful care of the kids and communicate well with the parents. They have a great balance of curriculum and playtime.

I was so worried about leaving my 3 month old at any daycare when going back to work but he loves his days at ABC. The entire team is really friendly and they take such great care of him. They are always doing interesting activities to help him reach development milestones and I love receiving all the updates and pictures throughout the day!

This being pretty much my son's first daycare, we were apprehensive with his adaptation. After no more than a week he was happy to go to ABC. We watched him make several friends there, develop his potty training and language skills. The staff has always been very kind and caring and we really appreciate their support.

We love this place. We brought our first child here about 6 years ago and had a great experience. All the teachers and staff were super friendly and great to all the kids. So when we had our second child recently of course we decided to bring him here as well. So far we are having the same experience as the first time around. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for child care. Thank you for being so great to our kids.

We have had a great experience at ABC Children's Center. The director Ms Debbie does an amazing job there. Her staff has also been a pleasure to work with. Many of the teachers have been there for years. We really appreciate how family oriented the center is. Our child is learning a lot everyday. I like how the center keeps the parents informed regularly and it is very easy to communicate with them. The classrooms are filled with children's art work that it makes the rooms feel like it's their own place. The playground is cute and spacious yet still cozy for the kids to interact with one another. We are very pleased.

ABC Children’s center has been very very helpful since my baby started here 2 years back.

The teachers are awesome and it is a very family oriented childcare. They all have become extensions of our family and my son has grown up very balanced , nurtured and well cared for in the past 2 years.

Our experience has been very good with all the staff and the director. Very reasonable to relate to and talk to. The biggest pros is they are constantly improving the care at all levels-

Newer materials
Better communication
Well established curriculum
Coordinations
Family oriented atmosphere

My toddler son has been attending this place for over a few months. We are soon moving our elder child to join him at ABC. I have got very good quick communications from the teachers and office. ( they use electronic messages with instant updates about my child ). They took very individual care of my toddler.

My daughter is being moved from a nearby Montessori after a horrible experience in regards to her lunch eating and her cleanliness. She is ready to be a preschooler soon.

The place is very creative for children activities and has long term staff , very personal able indeed. Don't judge a place by its covers , this place is a hidden beauty for children. I feel we have made a good decision regarding her. Will keep you guys updated. ?
