Encinitas Country Day School

The pre-school is fantastic, it's director Ms. Safarik is incredible. The teachers are all Montessori trained and equally incredible. Our boys thrived here. Kudos to Ms. CarolAnn.

Great Preschool! Wonderful, caring, nurturing and loving Teachers at the Encinitas Blvd school. My kids all had wonderful experiences at the Preschool - however do yourself a favor and do not even consider the Manchester ECDS as an option for your child - if you want your child to continue to learn and thrive - take all the wonderful things your child has received from the preschool and try a different private or public school in the best interest of your child.

What an excellent school for our preschoolers. Our children started at 2.5 years and 3.5 yrs and absolutely loved it. Their teachers were exceptional, (Ms. Jaci and Ms. Neha Gupta), and the environment is perfect for preschool learning- lots of nature, gardens, playground areas. Best of all, our children learned at an unprecedented rate without feeling pushed or overwhelmed, and looked forward to going to school.

What a terrible experience for my child. We went to ECDS to fulfill the needs of our gifted student, and we were sorely disappointed. The owner/director is the most unprofessional and non-people person person we've ever met. Bottom line, we can be frustrated for free in public school. We are happily relocated at Flora Vista Elementary! Don't go to this school, you'll waste your time, your child's time and your money.

Montessori? No. Money making? Yes! Wasted 2 years there! Never again!

My three year daughter has been attending ECD for 5 months now and absolutely loves it. The teachers here are creative, intelligent and very compassionate to each child's needs. As a parent, I feel amazingly comfortable knowing that my daughter is in such a stimulating environment while my husband and I are at work. Ms. Carol Anne, Ms. Jenny and Ms. Kate are amazing women and role models. If you are searching for a preschool, make sure you make an appointment with Mrs. Cremin to sign up for a tour.
