Sagebrush Children's Center
Sagebrush Children's Center is an early learning preschool serving children ages 2 to pre‑kindergarten in San Diego. We believe each child learns through hands‑on experiences created by the adults that know them best. Children deserve space to make mistakes, get messy and test the boundaries of their bodies and minds in a safe, supportive environment.
Our approach to learning is rooted in the Reggio Emilia philosophy that school is most impactful when it is viewed as an extension of the home. We value close, attuned relationships with the families we serve and seek to learn who each child is as an individual.
Our outdoor learning environment is double the size of our indoor space and we consider nature our co‑teacher! We take full advantage of the year‑round beautiful weather and spend up to half of our days outside on average.
