La Marina Preschool

I would never consider sending my child to this daycare. After years of struggling with infertility and complications, I was finally pregnant with twins. I reached out to this daycare about enrolling my children, but I had concerns due to my high-risk pregnancy. Initially, they reassured me that if anything happened, they would refund me. However, when things did take a turn and I had to go into preterm labor, leading to an extended NICU stay and one child coming home on oxygen, their response was far from supportive. Later, we were informed that one of our children might face additional complications, making it clear that this daycare would not be equipped to care for our babies. Despite our circumstances, they only offered a partial refund, citing their policies. While I understand the importance of policies, we had made a prior agreement that didn’t account for the situation we were in. You’d think a daycare would show compassion for a family dealing with major medical bills and the health of their children, but that wasn’t the case. They had plenty of time to fill the spots since they claimed to have a high demand and a large waitlist. If that’s true, there shouldn’t have been any issue with filling our spots. Unfortunately, it seems like taking money from families is more important to them. From what I’ve heard, the daycare is seriously understaffed. Honestly, after visiting, I’m not sure why I ever considered sending my babies there. It’s not very clean, and the baby-to-staff ratio for infants is concerning. They also force all babies onto the same schedule, regardless of individual needs, so if your baby is developing at a different pace, you’re out of luck. Do yourself a favor and check out the many other daycares in the South Bay.
