The Cove

Since we discovered «The Cove» almost a year ago now, my girls cannot wait to go! They love going to drop in, they LOVE parents night out (we love parents night out too), they love the classes! They love the teachers! Everything about the cove is GREAT!!! We can’t say enough great things about them and that’s why I tell everyone I know all about this hidden treasure. There are times you have errands to run, a dr. s appt, school volunteer, etc and would really rather not take the kids or cant take them, the cove has been a lifesaver for me. My girls ages 3 and 7 just enjoy going so much… both are having their birthday parties this week there as well. They are as good about birthday parties as they are with everything else, maybe even better. I had to change my oldest daughters day after booking it months in advance and they were able to accommodate… this place is great for both genders and all ages.

This was instantly my daughter’s favorite place to go! She is usually shy and it takes a while to warm up to a place where she stays without her mommy, but not at the Cove. When you walk in, you instantly get the vibe of a loving, fun environment for kids. The individual attention children get is unparalleled and the well-​organized crafts tables are fabulous. The drop off option is really convenient when something comes up on short notice! We also did a summer camp, which was wonderful. Any young artist thrives at this place!

Thank goodness for The Cove during summer vacation!!! I am a single mom who works full time from home. I have been looking for a safe and fun place for my daughter to go on days I have client calls and was unable to schedule a play date. I love that The Cove has daily art projects and summer camps. My daughter loves it there and I love seeing what she has created. The women who own The Cove are teachers and moms, so I know my daughter is being well cared for. The facilities are very clean and the open space keeps kids in view at all times. It is centrally located if you want to drop off to run errands kid-​free.

This is a really great place to drop your child off if you have a lunch appointment. The staff is friendly and attentive. My son loved it. He built robots with the staff and played with the other children. My son doesn’t generally like art, but this place is so much more. I hope they are wildly successful!

I LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE !!
I brought my 3 year old son here. He is very independent, and his attention span is not always so great. He was very entertained. As was I, this place is cute. We spent about 2 hours the first time we visited.
They have a Robotics, computer stations, coloring, arts and crafts. They also have a take-​home craft that is all organized by age group.
The staff is VERY helpful. My son made a really cute craft. It was a mother’s day pin (shaped as a flower) with a picture of him on it. It was so adorable I wore it on Mother’s day and got tons of compliments.
I would LOOOVE to do a birthday party here. Its perfect! I highly recommend anyone to come check it out. It really is a wonderful place for kids to visit and spend a few hours just having FUN. :)

I love The Cove! I love that I can drop my children off for a few hours if I have a doctor’s appointment or just need a little bit of time to center myself sans children. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and wonderful with the children. My youngest daughter LOVES to come play.
I am planning to try out the Parents Night Out this Friday and will update my review afterward.
**Update 6/​27/​11**
My children have enjoyed the Parent’s Night Out twice now. All three kids were very excited to go and did not want to leave at the end of the evening. My husband and I took advantage of ½ price appetizers at Firefly in the same center as The Cove (that will be my next review) and we finished up long before it was time to pick up the children. We stopped in to check on them and they begged us to let them stay!
I love the crafts-​of-​the-​week at The Cove. The crafts do not «accidentally» end up in the trash when the kids are in bed. They have come home with magnetic refrigerator clips, super-​cute pencil-​holders with the children’s photos, super-​cute flag decorations in addition to many paintings my children are very, very proud of.
There is something very special about The Cove; a positive energy that is very welcoming. My 11-​year-​old is just as excited about spending time at The Cove as my 3 and 6-​year old.

I held my daughters fifth birthday party at The Cove. It was the best party ever! It was super easy for us parents, tons of fun for the kids, and casual and entertaining for the adults attending. The Monday after the party my daughter’s teacher told me when I picked her up from school that the kids talked about the party all day long. I even had parents call me up the week after to tell me how much fun they had! Weeks later we are all still talking about what a great time we had. I highly recommend The Cove for not only drop ins, but parties as well!

This place is amazing! The teachers are so friendly and kind to the children and the parents. My kids love going! I love the creativity they inspire in the children. I have students who go there as well and rave about going!

I cannot believe I stumbled across this place! My 4 year old can be entertained for hours and just loves it! The owners/​teachers are terrific-​from their hands on attitude and their dedication and patience with kids. The computer lab is phenomenal as well. We are even planning our daughter’s birthday party here. Cannot recommend this highly enough.

Love the patience of the instructors here, and the constant learning opportunities through arts (colors, numbers, comparisons, etc.). Being that they are former teachers, their experience is a huge bonus! So happy that they opened. They have robotics too for older kids. For example, for Halloween the older kids were making these pumpkins with music censors so people who walk by will trigger the music. They were working with a UCSD engineer. Very cool! I am somewhat hesitant about writing this review because I want to keep this all to myself! :)
