This school has been such a special part of our family’s life. Miss Karla, the director, is absolutely amazing. She is kind, thoughtful, caring, and genuinely invested in every child.

Meredith Twohy · 5/5 on Google · a month agoBoth of my kids went to Taproot in La Mesa from 2 years old to TK and Kinder. We had a great experience, and loved the teachers. Ms. Karla is an excellent leader, and Ms. Diana was amazing with our son. She really set him up for TK. Ms. Renny and Ms. Kenya were also wonderful teachers. We’re going to miss the preschool and loving environment.
