What parents say
My grandson has been going to Santa Margarita since he was under 2 years old. It has so many outdoor activities and opportunities for play and fun and bilingual language learning. There's plants and gardens and cooking. It's just an incredible place and he's really thrived there. I want my grandson to be comfortable and have fun in the outdoors and that's what Santa Margarita provides. Highly recommend.
Amy Sohler · 5/5 on Google · 3 weeks agoAnother amazing summer with SMCC. I don't know what my family would do without them. My daughter has been part of their family for FIVE years! We are so blessed to know she is safe and cared for in an amazing environment where she can learn and grow. Hands down, SMCC is the best place for a kid to be a kid!
