Testimonials from the parents

The best and safest care for my family

To whom it may concern, the children center has provided the best and safest care for my family since 2019. As a single mother of two little boys the biggest challenge has been trying to find a safe place to leave my kids for the day I will work. Miss Teresa and her wonderful staff at the children’s center have always treated my children with love and respect and I have cared for them in the most efficient way possible.

The children center is a lot more than just a daycare. I referred to them as a school for my boys because the staff care for them daily while at the same time. They teach them manners, personal hygiene, and everything they need to know to be ready for kindergarten. I don’t think I would be able to continue working if it wasn’t for the excellent care children’s center provides for my boys.
The children’s center really does provide me with great peace of mind. They are just the best.

They also have learned to establish friendships, communication, communications, and structure

To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter of recommendation for the Borrego Springs children’s center. My four children Jasmine (6), Ethan (5), Karina (4), and Alani (2).
They have been attending since they were just eight weeks old.
During that time they have been under the care of the most wonderful teachers :Miss Blanca, Miss Concha, Miss Lucia, Miss Alicia and Mrs. Teresa.
It is here that I have watched my children develop and learn everything from art, shapes, colors, counting, ABCs and more.
They also have learned to establish friendships, communication, communications, and structure.

It is such a joy to see on my children’s face is the excitement when they wake up and get ready to go to school and when they go to sleep to hear them ask if they’re going to school the next day.
My daughter who has since moved onto kindergarten still love to go say hello to everyone when we go and pick up her brothers and sisters.
The school truly has a special place in our hearts.
Warm regards, Troncoso family.

The children center has become an extension of our family

The children center has become an extension of our family. We have two children ages, three and six who both benefited from their time at the children’s center. From the moment I walked in to drop off my first child we were met with kindness, compassion, and understanding. They are open and flexible with schedules and fully attended to the diverse needs of each child.
They are honest and direct with communication. They continue to foster our children to be kind, playful and capable beings. All the employees are warm and friendly, some are even my former students! I love the community connection and the comfort the children center provides for our family without their services.
I would not be able to fulfill my own role as a working parent. I am forever grateful for their kindness and support over the years.
It truly takes a village and the children center has and will continue to be an enjoyable part of ours.

I’ve seen so much growth in such a short amount of time

To whom it may concern,

The children’s center has been such an amazing place in which to send my child.

I’ve seen so much growth in such a short amount of time, my child does not have the ability to speak as well as other children his age, so he can get upset and frustrated quickly. I’ve seen the staff communicate with him and work with him when he gets upset.

I’ve seen the staff use different learning materials inside the school that helps my son when he is experiencing feelings he can’t express. They are always talking with my son and engaging him to play with other children his own age.

My son is now able to use some words, and he can now follow the routine of his classroom and that is such a major accomplishment for him.

I am truly grateful for all the wonderful staff that work at the children’s center. They really care about the children that attend the center.

We are lucky to have such a wonderful place here in In Borrego Springs.
Signed a very truly grateful parent.
