Personalized Learning Keeps Your Child Engaged
Teachers adjust your child’s activities to focus on their individual needs and interests. Your child receives personalized care to develop skills in areas they need help most and build a love for learning through their favorite subjects.
Class Libraries Make Passionate Readers
Your child enjoys first-hand access to books and knowledge in their very own classroom library. Teachers bring books to life through storytime, get your child excited about discovering new topics, interests, and nurture their lifelong love for reading.
Music, Art, & Dance Create A Whole Education
Every day, your child explores exciting enrichments, including music, arts, and dancing. Watch your little one excel as they tap into their creative side, build their communication skills and become a well-rounded lifelong learner.
Your Child Makes Furry Friends At The Petting Zoo
Your little one immerses themselves in a real-life traveling petting zoo where they get to feed, brush, and take pictures with their favorite animals like Stanley The Cow, Oliver The Baby Goat, Dolly The Donkey, and so many more.
Pre-Reading & Writing Skills With Zoo-phonics®
The engaging, play-based approach of Zoo-phonics® brings reading, writing, and spelling alive for your little one. As they learn the animal alphabet and the physical action that goes with each letter, your tot gets excited about pre-literacy skills.
Potty Training Helps Boost Your Tot’s Independence
As your little one grows from a baby to a big kid, skilled teachers guide them to use the potty all by themselves. Watch your child’s independence and confidence ignite as they transition from diapers to the bathroom with ease.
All-Inclusive, Yummy, & Home-Cooked Meals
Playing uses A LOT of energy! Your little one nourishes their growing body through healthy and nutritious food prepared fresh every day by an on-site cook that caters to allergies, sensitivities, and the pickiest of eaters.
2 Hours Of Outdoor Play Builds Strong Bodies

Hear What Parents Have To Say...
My baby loves going to school and loves his teachers. He has made so many friends and he tells me every day that he loves the food. 😆 I’m so thankful that my little dude has a fun and safe place to learn and play while I work. I feel at ease knowing he is well taken care of during his time there.

I love that the center is a family vibe. I connected with so many different teachers, ones that my son didn’t even necessarily interact with. It’s just full of a bunch of loving people! All of the artwork that I got monthly was super advanced from what he had previously done… My son always was so happy to be there and wanted to bring things for his teachers and friends. Great job Children’s Choice Academy keep up the good work!

I only want the best for my daughters, especially for my 1yr old baby because she can’t explain how her day was, but all the staff at children’s choice academy earn my trust and I feel stress free knowing my baby is on great hands, I get a full report of my baby’s day when I pick her up and I can see they are never understaffed so I know my daughter is getting the attention she needs. Great place!

CCA has been great to work with and is always on top of providing the best individualized care for our child. The attentive staff, clear and concise schedules, and overall security has made us very comfortable placing our child here to grow and learn. They are fun and friendly and offer so many activities throughout the year so the kids are always entertained. Highly recommend!

My son has been attending here for almost 3 years. They were fantastic in keeping it as current to the learning curriculum and scheduling for the kids. I’m very grateful to trust the school and his amazing teachers in watching my son in my schedule. There’s not a day my son doesn’t love going to school and that leaves me happy knowing my son is learning and having a great time doing so.

After hearing all good things about Children’s Choice Academy I finally switched my two kids over. I absolutely love everything they have to offer. My one year old who usually cries when I drop her off has not cried once when dropping her off. It shows me how much she loves it and how comfortable she is here. My two year old absolutely loves it and tells me how much fun she has.

Love, love, love Children's Choice Academy! They include a secured sign-in system, using procare and an easy payment system through a portal. They send out a monthly calendar with events for all ages, plus the monthly meal plan that is INCLUDED in your tuition. We have seen a huge improvement in my daughter's communication skills and needs. Don't hesitate to bring your child here, they will become

Children's Choice Academy is the most reasonable and affordable daycare in San Diego. Every other daycare wanted way too much money. At Children's Choice Academy they are flexible with days, payment assistance, and vacation time. Highly recommend this daycare to any and everyone in need of daycare services.
- Trinian Howard
My son has been very happy here. The teachers are always friendly and attentive, he is always playing happily when I pick him up, and he naps better here than at our previous daycare. He comes home in a good mood and worn out from a busy day of playing. I also appreciate the military discount. I’m glad we found this daycare when we moved to the area.
