Kelly's Korner Home Daycare

"Our son has been going to Kelly’s Korner for the last 18 months and he’s done so well and learned so many things! Including table manners and how to pick up after himself. Leslie is amazing and treated our son like family. Our little guy has a speech delay and she was willing to help him by doing one on one activities and encouraging him to play games and interact with the other kids. She also helped him potty train! We are so thankful for everything she’s done for us and our son. The food she makes for the kids is also top notch, Highly recommend!"

"THE BEST DAYCARE IN SANTEE AND LAKESIDE. I toured Kindercare and others in Santee and Lakeside and the woman in charge at Kindercare at the time couldn't even compose an email properly and things were dirty so wasn't a good sign. Getting accepted to Kelly's Korner (Mrs. Leslie) was like being accepted to Harvard. She TRULY cares about the kids. She has great play areas and always makes sure they have fun things to play with and things are CLEAN! Your kids will be fed restaurant quality, homemade lunches that you'll want to attend daycare yourself for! My 2 yo daughter always came home with a clean diaper and THE ABSOLUTE best part of the daycare is that Mrs. Leslie texts LOADS of pictures to you of your child that day so you can see exactly what they're doing, what fun they're having and what they ate. She even teaches them the beginning of the Alphabet, sitting nicely together, paying attention and taking turns. IT'S PRECIOUS. Would highly recommend and will always be thankful to Mrs. Leslie and Kelly's Korner Home Daycare for the great time our daughter spent there. :-) Miss you Mrs. Leslie! And your cooking! ;-)"

"It was an absolute blessing Lesile had an opening when I really needed it. She is a genuinely caring person who brings joy to those around her. I love that she takes care of wipes, snacks and meals. All I have to do is remember diapers and a set of spare clothes when we transition to a new size. My favorite part of every day is when she sends pictures so you can see your little one having fun and learning with friends. Our daughter has learned so many new words and songs in these past 7 months. Each day they focus on building language and academic skills through circle time and play. Her pricing is also very affordable and the best I've found! Our daughter was TERRIBLE around new people so initially drop off was hard for me because she cried. Leslie reassured me it is just a phase and she will get through it. She was absolutely right! Now, I have to remind my daughter to give me a hug goodbye because she is too busy running to give Leslie hugs and taking her seat for a morning snack. It is so wonderful to know my daughter feels loved by Leslie and her staff. Lastly, she is a phenomenal cook and everything she makes is absolutely delicious. If you are lucky enough to catch her with an opening I would highly recommend saving your spot!"

"My son has been going to Kelly's Korner for just over a year and a half since he was 6mo old. As a first time mom I was extremely nervous about leaving my son with a stranger but Leslie made me feel so at ease and sent so many pictures throughout the day to reassure me he was taken care of... Those pictures still come daily. He has enjoyed his time here so much we commuted from Mission Valley to Santee just to keep him here. He is now 2 and knows his shapes, colors, and ABCs. He enjoys the home cooked meals and having fun with all his friends at Kelly's Korner. I definitely recommend Leslie and her home daycare."

"I was searching for daycare near my work. I found Kelly's Korner and have never looked back. I have nothing but great things to say... It's that happy secure feeling you get when your child is super excited to see Leslie when they arrive at daycare. You know they are being taken care of and loved. It's that silver lining to the overwhelming emotions of returning to work and leaving your precious child when you get a stream of pictures during the day of all the fun things they are doing. It's that great but slightly jealous feeling when your child goes back for second hugs and kisses when leaving Leslie at daycare because they have to say "bye bye" for the day "
