About

Randolph Family Childcare in College Area, San Diego, is a bilingual, play-based home daycare at 6800 Harvala Street in the 92115 ZIP, operated by Miss Cindy, who has built the program around language development, literacy, and social etiquette modeling. The bilingual curriculum runs in English and Spanish, and a large portion of each day focuses on language and literacy activities — story time, vocabulary building, guided conversation, and pre-reading exercises that build the phonemic awareness kindergarten teachers look for in incoming students. The Harvala Street property features an outdoor play environment that parents describe as a garden-like space, with rotating sensory stations, imaginative play structures, and nature-based exploration areas designed to hold children's attention across multiple developmental stages. The program serves infants through school-age children, and families in the eastern section of College Area who enroll at Randolph often transition their children into nearby charter and public schools, including Harriet Tubman Village Charter School in the same 92115 ZIP. Meal time is treated as a structured learning opportunity: children gather for family-style dining where they practice passing food, holding conversations, using manners, and trying new dishes under guided supervision. Miss Cindy's approach to behavioral development emphasizes modeling rather than correction, demonstrating appropriate language, empathy, and politeness so children internalize social skills through observation and consistent practice. The home-based format maintains the low child-to-caregiver ratio that California's family daycare licensing requires, and the intimate group size allows Cindy to adapt activities to each child's developmental pace rather than following a one-size-fits-all schedule. Families in the 92115 ZIP who pair daycare with academic enrichment for older siblings use resources along the same corridor, including tutoring support at A+ Review in College Area. The Harvala Street program runs Monday through Friday, and the enclosed garden play area provides scheduled outdoor time in a fenced setting that keeps children active and engaged without requiring off-site field trips.
