What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

As our beloved LSCP has become Montessori by the Sea, the tenants of genuine love and regard for children’s well-being shines through. I have spent four grateful years here on Mt. Soledad with my most precious and have always felt respected as a parent, nurtured by the staff and that my child was safe. Thank you!
Liz FreisenJul 14, 2025My husband & I toured this daycare when I was still pregnant back in July 2023. We were told if paid $300 that would reserve a spot for our son to start in May 2024. We paid right away & then we were emailed that we were all set to start July 2024. When we asked for the deposit back because we no longer want our son to attend this daycare the director said nonrefundable & hasn't answered emails.
Jessica DresselOct 27, 2023We LOVE Little Steps! After doing extensive research and tours of other daycares we chose Little Steps. Our daughter started going to Little Steps when she was 4 months old, she is now 19 months old. We were very nervous about sending her to daycare during the pandemic and her being so little. Little Steps was very clean and we felt very safe sending her there. She thrived at Little Steps. She started walking at 9 months old, talking at 6 months old, and grasping difficult concepts at a very young age. I credit Little Steps for their excellent teachers, staff, and director. Little Steps has been very accommodating for our family's changing needs and we truly are grateful. Thank you to Erika and Elisabeth for being so helpful. Thank you to my daughter's teachers; Ms Cynthia, Ms Andrea, Ms Kristina, and teacher's assistants we appreciate all that you do. We are so happy with Little Steps and recommend it to all our friends and family!
Kristin WehrleFeb 16, 2023Great experience for our 2yr old She loved going there every day with her amazing teachers Veronica and Kristina. Overall, we loved this place and we did a lot of research before selecting LIttle Steps as my wife is a teacher. We could not recommend it more.
