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 materialsBetter communicationWell established curriculumCoordinationsFamily oriented atmosphere

Simply awesome! A place where my children can walk in each day, all 5 years of their early years . And still want to come back again. That is magical.This is a place where even your children will easily call it their second home. They have maintained a right balance of cuddly care,love, fun stuff and learning. Most of the teachers are here for so many years. The staff is very friendly and genuinely caring for children. You can definitely say that after seeing them work with each child.

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. Dont 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. 😀Mark.

My daughter has been going to ABC Childrens center from past 2 years and we absolutely love it! Ms.Lisa is amazing with kids. She creates a very positive, loving and supportive environment. Kids are encouraged to think creatively while learning new things. Most importantly, Ms.Lisa understands each childs personality and gives individual attention. All the kids adore Ms.Lisa, we are happy we chose ABC!

We are very happy that ABC Children’s Center has chosen for our grandson. He loves it and we are seeing him grow happily.On days that we visit him and pick him up from his teacher, we appreciate the warm attention given to each child gets in the classroom and we can see other parents being well received too. Our child’s work, on the class walls and brought home is so very creative and adorable.We get to see his daily pictures of him in action in the class. We have nothing but deep respect, and gratitude towards his teachers and everyone at ABC.

Short version: Amazing! Detailed version: I cant say how blessed we are to have ABC Childrens Center in our lives. When we drop our kid off, I dont feel like we are dropping him off at daycare as much as an extension of the family. They have been there and helped my wife and I through difficult times, always answer questions, and are very easy to deal with. My toddler has been in two rooms now and both have been equally amazing.I mean it when I say its more than daycare, its an extension of our family.

I am impressed with the center for imparting excellent academic and extra curricular activities. I find the teachers very experienced and very knowledgeable about bringing out the best in children. Overall a great place for toddlers and young kids to learn and enhance their knowledge.

My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was 4 months old. As any mother, at the beginning, I was horrified by the idea that I would leave my daughter in any place other than my lap. But, the team of ABC childrens center made it easy for me. My daughter was in safe and caring hands at this center. The primary teachers of the infant room; Ms. Veronica and Khristine are professional, kind and caring. Not to forget mentioning the app the daycare is using throughout the day. The teachers are updating the done list for my daughter on the app as they do it. So while at work, I know if my daughter ate, played or napped. Can not be better, can it?My daughter and I were truly blessed to have found a spot in the infant room at ABC childrens center.

ABC Childrens Center was wonderful for my daughterl! She just graduated last June but had been attending since she was 6 months old. She LOVED going to school every day! She really liked all her teachers and made wonderful friends. Her teachers were great with her and very nice and communicative with us.

We have entrusted ABC Childrens Center to take care of our daughter who is now almost a year old. She has been there since she was two and a half months. The teachers whom are responsible for her care and well-being do a great job to manage her needs, and ensure she is happy and needs are met. Ms. Kristine and Ms. Bita are phenomenal teachers and Id highly recommend them both.In the infant class the teachers do a great job at the 1:4 ratio with the children, and have a good schedule for feeding, nap times, changing diapers, and learning/play time. My daughter takes two regular naps/day and is always excited to see her teachers and friends when she goes there.

I have two grandchildren that have been attending ABC for several years. The oldest is thriving in kindergarten now! Having started at ABC at 17 months old, I believe ABC had a great hand in preparing her. Thank you, ABC for making sure Callie was ready for elementary school!

We have had a great experience at ABC Childrens 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 childrens art work that it makes the rooms feel like its their own place. The playground is cute and spacious yet still cozy for the kids to interact with one another. We are very pleased.

We have just moved into San Diego, and have started preschool for our 2 year old at ABC Childrens Center.My son is a bit over the edge when introduced to new people or new places. We were fearing his transition to a childcare to be very stressful. Family Daycare was ruled out since its hard to monitor the level of consistency and supervision in Family Daycares. My wife toured 6 preschools and about 4 family daycare till we finalized on ABC Childrens Center.ABC Childrens Center was just so very in budget and his teacher is exceptional in working and adjusting to the childs needs. He feels so relaxed coming here, and that it self tells us a lot about this place.I have read earlier reviews on yelp about the untidiness of the school. But it seems the place has gone a complete transition recently, since we found the classroom well organized, documentation of the childs work and performance communicated to us daily.All I care for at the end is my childs safety, communication to us about our child, and that the teacher is always there to welcome him and make him feel so loved, every time he walks in.I am looking to have him there till kindergarten. Will keep you all posted if there is any new observations I see about this place.

ABC Center is the best thing that has happened to my children. They have found their best memories here and although it is far from our home now, They do not want to change their school for any reason.We have recently moved away from Rancho Bernardo to Sorrento Valley. Seeing our children so happy, well taken care of and the amount of learning they have done in their 3 years here, I am so happy to let them be here for another 1 year till they go to elementary school next year.

Moving here from L.A. was a huge change for my two children (3 and 1) and I did not feel 100% confident with leaving them in the care of others until I found ABC Childrens Center. During the tour I had such a great connection with the director, Debbie, and felt that she was incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate.Once my children began to attend, I knew I had made the right choice. It was the first time I dropped my son off anywhere without him crying. He quickly became comfortable with his teachers due to their warm smiles and affection. Being a former Pre-K teacher I was thrilled when I saw that he was participating in various sensory activities such as painting, shaving cream and play dough. He has been attending for two months now and has made huge growth socially, emotionally, and cognitively.My daughter is in the 3 year old class with Ms. Lisa and loves it, as well. She is constantly talking about her teacher and friends, and is excited to attend school each day. Ms. Lisa is loving, but also guides my daughter when any social or emotional situations come up. I am thrilled she is in her care.Lastly, there are two huge benefits of attending this school. The first is that they have an app that allows you to see pictures, videos, and class room activites, daily. The second is that they have Family Hour. This is time where you are able to come and spend an hour with your child in class once a month. It is at the end of the day and allows parents to see their childs work, talk to the teacher more, have one on one time with their child, and participate in an art or food project.ABC Childrens Center makes me feel incredibly connected with my children and involved in their daily lives. I love it here!

I love it here! I had 2 kids that just recently graduated from ABC and I am very thankful for the entire staff. My favorite (Sue) is always so eager to help me in any situation with a smile on her face. I had the joy of having (May) and (Cindy) working with my kids everyday. In fact, our kids still ask if they can just go back to ABC instead of their elementary school now. This place will forever hold a special place in the heart of our family! Thank you ABC!

I have my older child complete his pre-Kindergarten year at ABC Childrens Center. He is now in Shoal Creek Elementary School. He missed his ABC Childrens center for a very long time since he stated Kindergarten last year. But over the year at Shoal Creek, the teacher was immensely proud of his reading, writing skills, his ability to work with other children and an active initiative in the classroom activities. I saw it normal but when talking with other parents at Shoal Creek, realized it was a lot of the Grooming done by ABC STAFF Members over his 3 years at ABC Childrens Center.Now for my second child I earlier thought of going to other preschools around in Poway and RB. But always missed the close connection ABC Center works with each parent in the tours of other schools. At one last deep though, we decided to stick with ABC, Since at this age, my children are demanding, have unique nature and need the one on one attention when required.She is in Miss Jackies Class this year, and its been a little over 4 months that she has started ABC . She absolutely loves the place, and its beautiful to see her confidently beaming each time I pick her up.I am glad I made the right choice of coming back to ABC.

ABC Childrens Center has been a part of our family for almost 5 years now. My oldest daughter, who is now a kindergartener, started going there when she was 17 months old, and my youngest daughter (almost 2 years old) has been there since she was 3 months old.ABC has been through many changes over the years, but what hasnt changed is the love that my children have received.For my oldest, Ms. Jackie, Ms. Amanda (who is no longer there), Ms. Aida and Ms. Lisa were absolute angels. I cannot thank them enough for their dedication to my childs well-being and happiness. My daughter absolutely thrived there and I am forever grateful.For my daughter who is currently at ABC, Ms. Christine and Ms. Bita were the reasons I could go back to work. They are caring and gentle, sweet and attentive to all of the babies in the Baby Bear class. They looked after my child as if she was their own, and that is all a mom can ask for.As for the academic aspect of a daycare, I feel that my Kindergartener was well-prepared. They focused on letters and sounds and started to read by the middle of the year. They did math and science activities, learn about different cultures, went on a few field trips an so much more. They did TONS of activities to further emphasize the weeks concepts. My favorite aspect of ABC besides the teachers is the balance of play and academics. I believe kids should be kids (especially young ones) and at ABC they are allowed to be.ABC has many family events throughout the year also which is great. I really like the app that theyve started using. They post pictures of your child on there and reminders for when to bring more supplies.Ms. Debbie, the director, is the best. She is so easy to talk to and is always happy to see my kids. She is kind and understanding and I know treats each of those kids as if they were hers.Overall, ABC has been a wonderful experience for our family.

My son attended ABC Childrens center about four years ago. Ms. Lisa was his teacher. The bond he had with Ms. Lisa was amazing. The loving and understanding care she gives the children are very memorable. My son is now seven years old and still talks about her.I have been working in the toddler room at ABC for about seven years. Ms. Lisa has a heart to love every child the same and everybody that walks in our school. The children adore her. She is an amazing woman and teacher. I have Learned so much from her. I would recommend Ms. Lisa to any parent that has a 3 year old.

Absolutely the best preschool as voted by others too.ABC Children’s Center is truly built on values that we parents would like to leave for our children. This is a niche for each child to gain their confidence while being themselves.My child easily goes up to any teacher, each day; and says a lot of lo-ro- dooo ro - roo loo da da da daay daaa rolooo: hardly using any understable words.He is talking and feels he is clearly understood. When I see him smiling proudly that he did the talking and he was completely listened to, I know what a great place this is for him.That feeling is amazing for me as a parent to watch.

Hello. I was a teacher in the three year old room at ABC Childrens Center for three weeks. It was a horrible experience. Not because of the children or the parents, but because of the way that certain staff members behaved and treated me. Within that three week span of time three staff members quit, the lead director, the two’s room assistant teacher and myself. I believe that occurred because nobody wanted to deal with the owner named Pooja. She is a very mentally abusive, very controlling, mean person. She acts sweet when she wants to, but underneath, she’s really evil. She harassed me a number of times. She made a very disturbing comment one day, so I submitted my one week notice after. I was asked nicely to stay till the end of the month and I complied. One day I was pulled out of my classroom without notice for the whole day. I was told that I was being phased out of my room, since I would be leaving the center soon. I was told not to say good-bye to the children or the parents and not to tell them that I would be leaving the center. Under those circumstances, I decided that that very day was my last day at the center. I was devastated that I had to leave the beautiful, special children and parents that I had formed a close bond with over the three weeks without saying goodbye. I cried for the whole day, needless to say and tried to keep the parents from seeing me upset. Thank you to the two families that gave me Valentine gifts and I am sorry that I was not able to repay you. I love all of your children, they were perfect angels and please tell them bye for me and you are all amazing and wonderful parents.I would like to write about the three year old room lead teacher. She will talk herself up all day and make it seem like she is a saintly Christian, who loves the children, makes sacrifices for them and that she lives for the children in her class. That is what she will say. But after the parents have left, she is anything but those descriptions. She is mean to everyone, especially the children, she says negative words to them and about them all day long, she screams at them all day long and she creates a very negative atmosphere to work in and go to school in. She tells the children things, like “I’m not playing your games,” all the time. Once I saw her pull up a boy student by the front of his shirt collar from a sitting to a standing position and she told him that he better behave. It was really sad and appalling. This teacher was also very mean to me and was part of the reason behind my resignation. I do not believe that the children are safe with her emotionally and mentally and possibly even physically. I would pull my child out of that class or demand for a new teacher. The other teachers at that facility are fine excepted for the owner, the three year old lead teacher and the current three year old teacher assistant. She is a young Indian girl who is very back biting, mean and very unloving toward the children. I am writing this because I want to protect the children and I want you to know the truth about what is happening there. Have a good day and may Jesus bless you.

I was sad to read such a negative review towards abc. My two older daughters attended the school and absolutely love ms.lisa. she has worked there for years. My oldest who is now 13 was a bit of a wild child when she was 3 and ms.lisa was very loving toward her. She always knows how to do a wonderful job working with challenging little ones. I would recommend her to all parents that are considering putting there child in a school setting.I was a full time teacher at abc for 6 years and now a sub. I spent amazing times interacting with ms.lisa as a coteacher and parent. Thank you ms.lisa for all that you do.
