About

Kid Planet Daycare runs a home-based childcare program on Mohawk Street in College Area, San Diego, under California Community Care License #376626266, with a capacity of 12 children ranging from two months through age five. Lead teacher Cindy Genel holds more than 15 years of early-childhood experience along with current Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and Preventative Health and Safety certifications. Preschool-age enrollees begin tracking vision and developmental benchmarks that align with the screening protocols at KDT Optometry on El Cajon Boulevard for kindergarten-readiness clearances. The program's distinguishing commitment is its eco-conscious operation: all snacks and meals are prepared on-site using organic ingredients, the cleaning regimen uses only non-toxic products, biodegradable diapers are stocked as the default, and the facility supports cloth-diapering families and maintains a recycling system throughout the home. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available on request, and the kitchen accommodates common allergen restrictions. The 92115 ZIP location sits in the Rolando pocket of College Area, roughly two miles south of the SDSU campus, within a residential grid of single-family homes bordered by parks. Bilingual instruction in English and Spanish is embedded in routine activities, songs, and circle-time vocabulary exercises. The outdoor play area emphasizes nature-based exploration, and the curriculum follows a play-based developmental framework rather than rigid academic benchmarks. The program identifies as women-owned and extends after-hours babysitting availability for school-age children up to 12 years old. Families in the Rolando and College Area corridors also access early-literacy programming through the College-Rolando Branch Library on Orange Avenue, which runs weekly story-time sessions geared toward the same toddler and preschool age range. Kid Planet's organic meal program sources produce through local suppliers and rotates seasonal menus across a five-day cycle.
