A Children's Garden's Leucadia campus at 1421 Burgundy Road in Encinitas sits on a multi-acre property in the Leucadia district, extending the same progressive, play-based preschool program the family-operated organization has run across North County San Diego since 1979. The Burgundy Road site's expanded outdoor acreage gives children direct access to open fields, garden areas, and natural play zones that distinguish it from the more compact Olivenhain campus, a land-intensive early-childhood model that aligns with the outdoor-play emphasis at neighboring Leucadia Oaks Park. Curriculum follows the John Dewey-rooted philosophy shared across both locations: half the morning is child-directed free play with art materials, dramatic-play stations, and sensory activities, and the other half is teacher-guided group work covering stories, music, movement, and early-literacy concepts. The preschool enrolls children from 24 months through pre-kindergarten age, with all staff holding early childhood education credentials and current CPR and first-aid certifications. The Leucadia location's proximity to the Leucadia Farmers Market corridor along North Coast Highway 101 connects families to the broader Leucadia community, where seasonal field trips reinforce curriculum themes through visits to local farms and gardens, including the educational programs at Coastal Community Foundation-supported sites. The nature-immersion design prioritizes soil, water, and plant interaction over digital media, with classroom materials centered on blocks, clay, paint, sand tables, and open-ended construction sets that develop spatial reasoning and fine-motor skills through tactile manipulation rather than screen-based instruction.
