School Philosophy and Mission

From the moment you enter My Room to Grow preschool you will feel why it's the right place for your child. We have created a warm atmosphere where your child is respected and can feel good about themselves.
We are a small school in the heart of Poway, and we work hard every single day to insure that your children benefit from a happy, safe, challenging, and caring environment.
We have a great team of teachers that are friendly and considerate to each child. You can call us or stop by at any time, to see how your child is doing. We will share with you a funny story or a cute episode from your child's day.
We will tell you if your child was sad or happy, had a good appetite or took a great nap.
