Healthy Toddlers Care is a multicultural home-based preschool in College Area, San Diego, founded in 2011 by Bridgette Moss, who holds a Child Development degree and has carried an active California childcare provider credential since August of that year. The Olympic Street program in the 92115 ZIP enrolls children from 18 months through age four, at which point graduates transition to structured pre-kindergarten settings — a philosophy rooted in the belief that four-year-olds benefit from separating into age-specific academic preparation. The Montessori-adjacent schedule weaves multicultural perspectives into every activity block, and the same nature-immersion approach shapes the toddler curriculum at The Nest Montessori School on College Avenue within the neighborhood. Bilingual story time in English and Spanish, movement sessions that include children's yoga, hands-on gardening in raised beds, and a rotating art curriculum tied to cultural traditions from around the world fill the instructional blocks throughout each week. A resident turtle exhibit and a small flock of pet chickens serve as live-animal observation stations integrated into the science curriculum. All meals — breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack — are prepared on-site from scratch using whole ingredients, and the program accepts CDA subsidy vouchers. The outdoor classroom design means the backyard functions as a primary instruction space rather than a recess break, with weather-permitting lessons in sensory play, water tables, and obstacle-course motor development. The campus sits roughly two miles south of SDSU in a residential pocket between College Avenue and Highway 94. Families navigating developmental milestones during the toddler years coordinate screening referrals through corridor providers, including El Cerrito Family Counseling Center for early behavioral and speech assessments. The separate nap room provides individual cribs or toddler beds, and each child's rest schedule is customized based on parent input and developmental stage.
