Balboa Park Preschool and Home Day Care

You get what you pay for. Mayerbonie is nice, but not very involved. our child’s elbow was pulled out of socket by the teacher during their daily hike in the canyons. They tried to hide they had done anything, and our child’s elbow hung out of socket for over 2 days. we didn’t know what was wrong and thought he had hurt his wrist. It was the most heart-​wrenching thing we’ve been through with him.
The least you can expect is your child will be safe in a facility. The way it was handled was abominable, and we were made to feel that we were in the wrong for not being more trusting. our pediatrician was able to pop it back into place, but I wouldn’t recommend a place that where the culture is like that. The teachers don’t speak good english and will yank your kid when it’s time to go.

My two boys went to this day care, at different times, so we got a 4 year window into how they operate. They are amazing. They have great communication with the parents and obvious devotion to the children. My kids loved going, they loved learning, and they loved socializing. There were numerous occasions that I would arrive to pick up and my child begged me to stay for another hour because they were having so much fun. Patty, Meherbani, PapaG, they all became a part of our lives. We trusted them with our sons, and they were loving, attentive and immensely aware and responsive to their needs. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

We took our twin boys to Balboa Park Preschool and Home Day Care for about two years. My boys are now five years old and have been away from this daycare for a while and they STILL talk about it. In fact they have been bugging me to go back for a visit to see their teachers. I found it to be a great environment for our boys, they loved their teachers, their friends, the hikes to the canyon, the animals that live there and they learned a lot. What else can you ask from a place that you are trusting with the most precious entities you have? I also liked the fact that they are vegetarians and fed the boys foods they still eat to this day. For example tofu, broccoli, and greens. I feel that because they were eating these foods at school that we had an easier time getting them to continue to eat them at home. I would recommend this preschool to anyone.

My youngest son attended Balboa Park Home Preschool for two years. We both loved it. They served healthy meals (vegetarian) and the staff is excellent. Mrs. Khalsa has a Master’s degree in education and Patty is wonderful with the kids. I was able to feel good about leaving my son there while I was at work because I felt like he was actually learning things there (vs. some other schools my older son had gone to). I also felt that the school was a safe and nurturing environment. The school has a nice yard/​playground around it and it’s near Balboa Park where the kids frequently go for walks with the teachers.
