My words cant express how grateful we are for CCDS. I was a stay at home mom for over 2 years and am often described as a helicopter mom. I wanted to get back into the workforce but none of the childcare care options were up to our familys standards. When we found Carlsbad Country Day we were so excited! We had big expectations and theyve exceeded all of them. Every teacher cares about the kids like their own, and they even provide personalized updates on each childs progress toward developmental milestones. Healthy food, clean spacious areas, the most caring and educated staff

My friend strongly recommended Mr. Melissa J and Carlsbad Country Day School. Hearing so much good things from my friends, we decided to move my daughter to CCDS despite the higher price. And so far I think that's one of the best decisions I have made. Ms. Melissa J teaches there because she cares about the kids. She not only teaches them the knowledge but build their emotional strength. She teaches the kids to be assertive and confident, kind and love, love yourself and others. She emphasizes communication very much and she would text the parents if there is something to concern or some happy

The Carlsbad Country day school is the best . We all love it here ! Our daughter Veronika is 2,5 years old / we are from Slovakia so she speaks very little English so far but that is no problem at all/ and after just couple days she was perfectly fine and content there . Her teacher is wonderful Ms. Kim and she is really the best ! Loving and caring great teacher. We and our daughter just love her . When you are deciding about the right preschool you should choose this one for sure .We went to see many preschool in the area but the Carlsbad country day was really the best of the best !

Our daughters both attend Carlsbad Country Day School. They both love going each day and adore their friends and teachers (Ms. Ashley Coleman and Ms. Rachel Dominguez). As a parent you only want the best for your children and to know that they are in a safe and caring environment where they get to learn, play and laugh. We definitely feel this way about Ms. Ashley Coleman and Ms. Rachel Dominguez as well as with the rest of the staff. The facility is also very nice, has a lot of natural light and is always clean.
