Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I highly recommend CPP for your child. The teachers provide a perfect blend of developmental learning mixed with child directed play. The hours are great and the cost is the most resonable that I researched in both the La Costa and Carlsbad areas.
Parent #2
This is truly the best preschool in North County. The teachers are awesome- they are tallented, well-educated, caring, and have a ton of experience.

Parent #4

I couldn't be happier in how any situation was handled at the preschool. I was contacted when or if my son needed me and always felt everything was well taken of.
