- 5 out of 5 starsYaira SevillaI adore everyone here 🙂 Every single educator here treats my children with so much love and care. I’m so happy to have chosen this place for my kids since last year! Ms. Tamara, the director, has been nothing but kind and treats every child and parent she sees with absolute respect and welcoming hands. Every teacher here has shown love to the children as if they’re their own. It gives my kid’s father and I so much peace of mind knowing they’re being safely cared after. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my 2 toddlers!read moreread less5 out of 5 stars
- 5 out of 5 starsAmy K.My son has attended this daycare since he was two years old, and in those two years we have never had a problem with the staff, the other children, or anything really. The teachers and helpers are the best I have ever seen. They genuinely care about the well-being of every child. They are patient, kind, loving and can get down on the Childs level to help them learn and understand different areas in which the kids need guidance. My son asks each and every morning (weekend too) if he is going to school today. The fact that he loves going to school and learning social skills with other children and having such a positive bunch of role models around my son while I'm at work is priceless. One of my favorite aspects of this daycare center, is the fact that they pray with the children. They are a religious centered daycare, and for me and my family that is extremely important. When my son comes home from school and can pray at the dinner table without being prompted to, is such a heartwarming feeling. I can't say enough how much I appreciate this daycare center. I highly recommend this place.read moreread less
- 5 out of 5 starsMariah DavisI started my son at the Learning jungle at 8 weeks old. He was the youngest baby In the infant room. The director assured me as a new mom that he was in good hands and always made sure to keep me updated with him throughout the day. The Learning Jungle constantly sends pictures, updates, and info about what meals he has eaten, when he uses the bathroom, and when he is napping. I couldn’t be more thankful! The staff is extremely welcoming and is always open to address my concerns and even offer advice. I absolutely love the daycare I have chosen for my son!read moreread less5 out of 5 stars
- 5 out of 5 starsMelissa WilliamsMy daughter has been attending Learning Jungle for a little over a year. So grateful for this daycare. She has grown so much in many areas! Especially developmentally! I appreciate the way the staff cares. They also communicate well with parents that’s very important factor for parents.read moreread less5 out of 5 starsJaNae CreightonMy son started at learning jungle about 6 months ago and since attending hes grown so much, he's alot more verbal, he can count, he knows all of his ABC and can name a over a dozen of different animals, colors , shapes, foods, and other objects. At home he goes on and on about all his friends and his teachers and it amazes me that he knows their names. His teachers and other staff are very good at communicating with me about his day and information as needed. I really enjoy it here and my son does even more.💚read moreread less5 out of 5 starsChasiti LatsonMy foster son has been attending this daycare for a few months now. He had come a long way and has learned so much in his short time here. The teachers are always friendly, informative, and responsive. Honestly all of the staff are excellent. I love the fact that I get updates throughout the day of what my son is doing and photos as well. The only downside as many places I noticed these days is there are no cameras, sometimes I would like to peak in the classroom and see what's going on. However, that doesn't change my rating that I love the school! My parents absolutely loved it as well when they came for an open house and spoke with the director. She is doing an excellent job at the center. I can say the latest negative reviews may be due to just things going on unforseen (Covid, illness, emergencies etc..) happening amongst staff but considering the things going on right now they are maintaining a high level of professionalism and prioritize the safety of the kids and staff.read moreread less
- 5 out of 5 starsLacie ArmitageBeing a first time mom and having to send your 8 week old baby to daycare is one of the most scariest things I have ever had to do. Thanks to the people at Learning Jungle those worries were quickly put to ease. The app they use is a wonderful way to communicate. I can quickly see what is going on with my son, get lots of pictures and can send a message any time I have a question. The teachers there show to be so loving and caring. I'm so happy I chose learning jungle to take care of my son. I am able to go to work everyday knowing he is taken care of and surrounded by wonderful caring people.read moreread less5 out of 5 starsLudmila C.Great daycare, carrying stuff, clean and very accommodating. I enrolled my son 'temporarily' in March 2020, during the Covid shutdown because his regular daycare closed. Now almost a year later we are sill here and my son loves his teachers and his friends. Highly recomend this daycare!read moreread less5 out of 5 starsKailie S.My daughter has been going here for a few months now , and I absolutely love this school. All her teachers and the staff greet her and she runs up to them like they're her family. My daughter is super picky with who she likes , so that means a lot to me. I've had nothing but good things to say about them ! Definitely recommend. My daughter is currently 2 for reference.read moreread less
- 5 out of 5 starsJ White W.Look no further the Learning Jungle is the center for exceptional childcare!My children have been going here for over 4 years and I have the highest regards to EVERYONE at this facility. Mrs. Alysha, Ms. Nicki, Ms. Megan, Ms. Juliana, Ms. April and everyone else are very professional and attentive. My children have learned so much and enjoy everyday that they're there. I'd recommend Learning Jungle to anyone who's looking for outstanding and quality childcare for their little ones.read moreread less
- 5 out of 5 starsAlexis B.We love Learning Jungle! After looking into and visiting too many schools, my husband and I walked into this school and we knew it was the school we wanted to send our daughter. The classrooms were colorful and full of work the children and teachers did. You just get this good and positive energy as soon as you walk in and to top it off the staff is amazing too! They take such great care of my baby girl, it makes me happy to send her off every morning and know she'll be taken care of.read moreread less5 out of 5 starsKaty C.I am so grateful to learning jungle for making me feel comfortable about leaving my son with them during the day. He is our first, we both work, and we have no family in town. To make things worse, nobody in my family has ever used a daycare with an infant, and I felt so ashamed leaving my newborn to go back to work. Thankfully, my baby has spent the majority of his first year in Ms. Jocelyns class, and I cannot stress how much we love her. My son smiles when he sees her, he enjoys his time at daycare, and we get to know he's safe and happy during the day. This review is kind of all over the map, but I definitely recommend Learning Jungle, especially to families with infants.read moreread less

Unfortunately we are moving away for a couple months so he will be leaving the campus but in the future if we ever return to San Marcos I will definitely enroll him back into the campus thank you learning jungleread moreread less
- 5 out of 5 starsAlexandra TateWe LOVE Learning Jungle! Initially we only enrolled our 6mo old daughter here because we felt very strongly that we wanted our 2 yo to go to a Montessori preschool. When the school he was enrolled in strayed from Montessori philosophy, we enrolled him here too. Our son is strong-willed and high energy and he FLOURISHES here!! I used to dread pickup and drop off at his old school because they never had anything good to say and he would cling to my leg and cry every morning. At Learning Jungle, he practically skips into the classroom when I drop him off and they tell me a story that makes me smile every day when I pick him up. My daughter, who was an infant when she first enrolled, has learned SO MUCH since starting at Learning Jungle. She uses her words as well as sign language to communicate with us and she just turned 1 yo!!Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend enrolling your child(ren) at Learning Jungle. The teachers at Learning Jungle love our children like we do. The stories that they share constantly show us how well they know and love our babies. Lastly, Cassandra, the director, is AMAZING. She is kind, understanding, nonjudgmental, flexible, respectful, communicative, organized and personable.I can’t say enough good things about Learning Jungle! I guarantee if you enroll your children here, you will not regret it!read moreread less5 out of 5 starsAlexandra T.We LOVE Learning Jungle!

My son absolutely loves it here. Best school around and by far offers the best education for kids 2-5. Pricing is amazing for the amount of effort put into the class and what is taught.

- 5 out of 5 starsTara G.We LOVE Learning Jungle! We've been going there for years. The staff there is fantastic- they really CARE about the kids and prepare them very well for kindergarten. I feel like we actually could have started my youngest in kinder early she was so ready even at 4. I appreciate their gentle approach and care. And their director is pretty darn fantastic as well! I recommend them constantly to friends and coworkers.read moreread less

Thank you to Alisha and her staff. 🙂read moreread less
- 5 out of 5 starsJenny W.High Sierra academy is the best preschool we've seen, and we had searched quite a few before choosing. Our 3yr old son at the time, had never had a babysitter/caregiver, so we really needed a place that he'd feel at home at. We felt an obvious sense of care and devotion from every teacher/staff member there from the first meeting. They truly care about each child and their needs. My son absolutely loves all of the teachers, he has learned so much, and he's found friends to bond with there as well. He looks forward to every school day.read moreread less5 out of 5 starsAqua V.My son attended here from the age of 2 through 5. It was a great place for him. All of the teachers were very caring and were into caring for the children. Peg and Sandy in the 2 year class are fantastic. They were like leaving your kids with a close family member. All the teachers through the 3, 4 and 5 year old classes were great too, especially Ms. Kathleen in the 4's and 5's.The owner Emily is very nice and always helpful and caring as well.We had a great experience at High Sierra and they are an asset to families in need of daycare in Valley Center.read moreread less
- 5 out of 5 starsryanfrisbyWe brought my 2 year old son here and from the beginning, it was amazing how well they worked with him. It took him awhile to adjust as we only brought him 2 times a week. The first week, they provided him with his own teacher Ms. Kelly to give him the extra attention he needed throughout the long days. Once he was adjusted he loved going to school and always looked forward to the art project of the day. We could instantly tell the difference in his vocabulary, song memorization, social skills, and especially listening skills. Ms. Sandy and Peg were the teachers for the 2 year old class and he especially loves them, as do I. They have gone above and beyond and genuinely love our son. The administrators, Ms. Emily and her mother Ms. Judy, have been very patient and understanding with any paperwork and have always explained things very well, making sure we are always aware and comfortable. The price, not to mention, is unheard of and we appreciate the rate so much (when researching other schools, we saw more than double what High Sierra Academy charges). We wouldn't go anywhere else!!!!!!!-The Frisbysread moreread less
