Could not be more happy with Hillcrest Preschool! A wonderful experience for my daughter and we plan to enroll our son next year! Teachers go above and beyond embracing creativity and authenticity. A lovely school that's recently been renovated. Clean classrooms and a nice outdoor play area. Forever grateful for our experience.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at this preschool! Our daughter was here for one year and truly thrived. Ms. Kelli, Ms. Gaby, and Ms. Kaylee and the other teachers are absolutely amazing—they genuinely care about the kids and create such a nurturing, fun environment. They were especially supportive during potty training, which made a huge difference for our family. Recently, the school welcomed an interim director, and we sincerely hope she becomes permanent. She brings such heart and care to the children’s experience, planning fun activities and making each day special. She’s also introduced a new check-in system with an app, which makes drop-off and pick-up so much easier while also keeping parents informed about daily updates, injuries, and communication. This preschool is on a wonderful path, and we’re so grateful for the teachers and leadership who are making it such a positive place for kids to learn and grow!
My family could not be happier with Hillcrest Preschool for our 2 daughters, ages 2 and 4. Because it's a smaller school, all the staff know our children, and it feels like a big family community. The teachers truly care about the children and their developmental/educational growth. The calendar and hours are also great for 2 full-time working parents. We are so grateful we found this preschool!
Our daughter started at hillcrest preschool right when she turned 18 months last fall. She was in Ms Claudia’s class and I could not have imagined a safer, more supportive, and nurturing environment for her to spend the year in.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hillcrest Preschool. They've always had caring, engaging, nurturing staff members who truly care for the children. And now, they even have brand new facilities, which were custom built for the preschool. My older daughter has thrived there and has grown more and more with every teacher she's had. I signed my younger daughter up as well as soon as she was old enough, and even though she was home with me for the first 1.5 years of her life, she adjusted very quickly and was soon as comfortable there as her sister with the help of the caring toddler staff. It honestly feels like a second home for both of them. The icing on the cake is that they are year round, open 8-5, and the tuition is somehow one of the most affordable I've seen in San Diego!
