My daughter thrived under Ms Kellie and Ms Monica’s care. Always running inside happy at drop off and at pick up giving her teachers and classmates goodbye hugs. She made great friends and fun artwork. It was always easy to communicate with the teachers no matter the question or concern and I felt completely at ease knowing my daughter was in such a caring environment. I recommended Giggles to my sister when they moved to SD and I would recommend Giggles to anyone looking for an in-home childcare option. Thank you Giggles team!

We just moved to San Diego and we are beyond grateful to have found Mrs Kellie at Giggles and Grins! Not only did she help ease the transition for my son (and TBH for me too), but she’s helped him thrive in his new home. So many fun art projects too!

Kellie and Monica were absolute blessings for our two girls, I really can’t recommend this daycare enough. They are both natural caregivers and you can tell they love their jobs. Our girls thrived at Giggles and Grins!

Becoming a parent is already hard enough I know but trusting someone with your child is a huge deal, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care both of my kids received during their time here. From day one Kellie and Monica have been very clear cut about the direction and guidance they give the kids. It’s been clear how much love, patience, and genuine attention goes into everything they do. Both of my little people were excited to go each day, they’d come home happy, and has grown so much socially and emotionally. Communication is excellent of course, I’m always kept in the loop, and any questions or concerns are handled with care and professionalism. The environment is safe, clean, structured, and full of positive energy. Most importantly, I know my child is not just being watched, but truly cared for as I’ve had times where they asked could they stay the night. We’re incredibly grateful to have found Giggles and Grins during our time in North County (5 years). I’d recommend them without hesitation to any parent looking for a nurturing, dependable, and loving place for their child. Kellie and Monica if I could take you with us, I would! For anyone asking my daughter started at 2 and stayed til her first year in kindergarten where he teacher said she exceeds because she already knew the information from Kellie and Monica and my son is turning 3 this year and still asks for Ms. Monica.

I was recommend giggles and grins by a very close family friend and it has been the best experience ever. My daughter has been going there for 2 years and my 9 month old son just started as well! Kellie and Monica are absolutely god sent! They are so wonderful when it comes to working with the kids. I have never felt at peace with my kids being in other peoples care 4 days out of the week! They are very flexible , hands on & do their best at helping your kids achieve above there basic milestones! They provide meals and snacks for the kids which is absolutely amazing , my daughter was extremely picky with food until she started here! They assist with potty training , which encourages your kids to want to go even more at home! Overall we are so grateful to have these wonderful ladies apart of our lives! Truly the best in home daycare that leaves you feeling at ease while leaving your kids to go to work!

I write this review at a bittersweet time as we are moving out of state. My family started our son at Giggles and Grins with Ms. Kellie and Monica and it changed our live (I know that sounds dramatic but it really did! lol). Our son found structure and was being pushed to always do his best. He found sleep routine and friends all at the age of one. Our son started sleeping through the night just 2 days after starting day care and his nap time routine fell in to place. Ms. Kellie and Monica are a hidden gem in Vista. If you can get in, do it! Her prices are very fair and she does an excellent job. Communication has always been easy and we always felt safe and excited for out son to be at school. Thank you Ms. Kellie and Monica for everything that you have done for our family!!

What an amazing find! We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Kellie and Monica! They have been doing this for a long time, but are still endlessly warm, nurturing, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth and happiness. We’ve sent our kids to a couple different daycares, and this one is hands down the best. I feel confident dropping off my daughter (18 months old) every day. I love that they are so reliable, direct, positive and extremely attentive. My daughter was hard for other daycare facilities to deal with (she just seemed extra particular and fussy), but these two amazing people took her in like she was their own. Our daughter looks forward to going every day, and we’ve noticed incredible progress in her social skills, independence, and creativity. If you’re looking for a daycare that you can rely on, I can’t recommend Giggles and Grins enough! It’s a relief to know our daughter is not only well cared for but also thriving in such a wonderful place!

We have been a part of the Giggles and Grins family for 2 years and our little guy is one happy camper! Not only does he look forward to going to daycare each day but he has grown leaps and bounds. Giggles and Grins has our child’s best interest and strives to make child development meaningful. Everyday is filled with activities, outdoor play, reading, art, games, yummy balanced lunches and snacks. Miss. Kellie and Miss. Monica has created an environment all kids love to come to and parents feel safe leaving. Five stars ⭐️ to Giggles and Grins. We adore you.

Miss Kellie is an amazing caretaker. She has education to back up her philosophy and teachings. We were so fortunate to have her for year 1-2 which can be fun yet challenging. It was so nice to feel confident about her care when your Child (or grandchild in my case) cannot speak yet!! Miss Monica was her right hand and was wonderful with our boy❤️ honestly, cannot say enough about this daycare. Thank you for everything!!!!!!!

Self Help Skills

We teach and promote “self help skills”. Whether its putting on a jacket, zipping up zippers, putting on socks, tying shoes or simply washing hands and face, we work together as a team to help build self esteem and reach these milestones. We encourage children to become independent by allowing and encouraging them to take responsibility for themselves whenever it is possible.

Why Choose Us

In large commercial daycare centers, different people are caring for your children daily due to shifts and high staff turnover rates. Your child is less likely to form a deep bond with the caregivers, not to mention they will likely be in a classroom of 30+ children and cared for only by a couple of young inexperienced employees. At Giggles and Grins Daycare in Vista, we have a maximum of 12 children with 2 full time caregivers that have over 17 years of teaching experience each, bringing the ratio down to 6 to 1 or less.
