• Ages: 0–6 years old
The program follows an age-based developmental curriculum that divides children carefully by age and instructs them according to developmental milestones. The focus of the two-year-old program is self-regulation, language development, and following multiple-step directives. The three-year-old program focuses on encouraging fantasy play, teaching letter recognition, and developing fine motor skills. The four-year-old program focuses on more complex cognitive skills, reading readiness skills, and appropriate social and behavioral skills. The transitional kindergarten program focuses on writing skills, more complex math and cognitive skills, and early reading development including phonics.
The stated philosophy is that children understand themselves and their world through pleasurable learning activities planned for their developmental level, and that as children grow and become competent in the skills taught, they become self-directed and have a positive view of themselves. The program’s goal is to provide a loving and stimulating environment that encourages a child to grow intellectually, to interact appropriately with peers and adults, and to exhibit respect for himself and others. The program states that children who feel safe, comfortable, and respected will exhibit a natural curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and that educators provide materials to facilitate each child’s natural development as new interests and skills emerge.
Qualified teachers with multiple years of experience work at Golden Poppy Preschool and Infant Center, and each staff member is described as passionate about working with young children. The program includes a focus on social and emotional development, leadership and team building skills, public speaking and communication, and grace and courtesy etiquettes. Smart technology is used to involve parents in their child’s progress, including digitized enrollment and parent tech setup, regular updates via a school app, and sharing memories through videos and photos. Parent meetings are held to build transition plans.
Golden Poppy Preschool and Infant Center is rated 4.5/5 stars on Yelp and has a 4.9/5 rating. Families are invited to meet other parents and join community events. One parent testimonial notes that the family has been with Golden Poppy for three years, that staff reach out daily to share stories about the children, that the children have many activities and arts and crafts, and that Golden Poppy Infant Care San Diego has been flexible in working with parents and in communication during COVID.
During COVID-19, the program reports taking extra steps to keep children, families, and staff safe. All staff and parents wear masks in and around the facility, and children aged 2 and above are encouraged to wear masks. Only staff and children are permitted inside the classroom, and parents pick up and drop off children at the entrance, which is marked with 6-foot separation for parents. Touchless check-in and check-out or GPS signing is done through a parent app, temperature checks are done daily for children and staff, and a COVID questionnaire is taken for each family every day. Children are placed in smaller stable cohort groups to minimize mingling.
