Our Story: A Home for Learning & Growth
Laura's Daycare began with a simple, heartfelt belief: a child's first learning environment should feel like home. As a parent and educator in San Diego, I saw the need for a care setting that blended the warmth of a family home with the intentionality of an early learning program. That vision became a reality right here in Serra Mesa.
Our Foundational Philosophy
We believe trust is built through transparency and personalized connection. Every child is unique, and our in-home setting allows us to nurture their individual curiosity and developmental pace in a safe, familiar space.
Roots in the Community
From our first family to the many we serve today, our growth has been guided by the needs of San Diego parents. We've evolved by listening, adapting, and deepening our commitment to providing not just childcare, but a foundational educational experience.
Come see the difference a home-like, education-focused environment can make for your child.
