Little Dreamers By The Sea is a women-owned, licensed childcare home on Woodgrove Drive in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district, founded in 2019 for children ages three through five. The nature-forward curriculum uses Cardiff's coastal environment as an outdoor classroom, integrating tide-pool observation, garden planting, and sensory exploration alongside the kind of structured athletic play available at Cardiff Sports Park for older age groups. Small-group enrollment keeps the student-to-caregiver ratio well below California Title 22 maximums, allowing each child's social-emotional and pre-academic development to be tracked on an individual timeline. Morning routines rotate between guided art projects, story circles, early phonics introduction, and free-play blocks designed to build executive-function skills like turn-taking and impulse regulation. Cardiff-by-the-Sea families transitioning from the program into elementary school coordinate kindergarten-readiness physicals through practices such as North Coast Family Medical Group on the same side of the 92007 ZIP. The morning session structure incorporates a whole-child assessment framework that documents fine-motor benchmarks, receptive-language milestones, and peer-interaction patterns for parent review at quarterly conferences.
