The Preschool Landscape in Southern California

Families in San Diego and Riverside counties have many preschool choices, including both free or subsidized programs and private preschools like Discovery Isle.

Free programs, such as the San Diego Unified School District’s Early Learning Program and the Neighborhood House Association’s Head Start Program, help families who meet certain income limits. These programs are valuable, but often have limited spots, shorter hours, and fewer enrichment activities.

At Discovery Isle, we offer a richer and more flexible preschool experience. If you value strong academics and well-rounded growth, we are the place for your child. They won’t just be ready for kindergarten. They will also build confidence, curiosity, and social skills that help them for the rest of their life.

Why Families Choose Discovery Isle

Safe & Nurturing Environment

Keeping children safe and happy is our main goal. We care about every child and help them grow, not just in school but in life too. Our classrooms are warm and inviting, so our students feel comfortable as they explore and learn. We teach them to be kind and to respect others. We help them to make friends and feel part of our school family. Each day is a fun new adventure at our preschool.

Well-Rounded Curriculum

Our Links to Learning preschool curriculum helps children grow in many ways, like reading, math, art, science, and social skills. Each new skill builds on what they already know as they keep learning. Our teachers personalize lessons to match their students’ interests, learning style, and abilities. Does your child like playing with blocks? A teacher might ask them to build a tower while naming the colors and counting the blocks—linking language, math, and fine motor skills.

Well-Trained Teachers

Our teachers know how to help each child grow and learn. They keep learning too, so they can stay up-to-date with the best ways to support children’s development. They work hard to create a warm and safe place where every child feels valued. Our teachers listen, cheer our students on, and make learning fun every day.

Family Communication

We think that parents and teachers should work together as partners. Our teachers keep you updated on what your child is learning, how they are doing, and even if they ate all of their lunch! We want you to feel part of your child’s time at school. We also hope you will share any questions or news from home, so we can better support your child’s growth. When we work together, we build a caring team that helps your child feel safe and happy at school.
