Sagebrush Children’s Center

Early Education Through Creativity and Curiosity

Located in Del Cerro near San Diego State University, Sagebrush Children’s Center provides child-led, nature-based early education for children ages two to five. Our Reggio Emilia inspired curriculum includes a whole-child approach rooted in strong relationships between children, parents and staff.  

Hours & Calendar

We are open from 7:30AM to 5:30PM Monday through Friday. Our center is open year round; we observe all federal holidays and have a one-week closure in December.

Ages & Classrooms

Our license allows us to serve children ages 24 months through pre-kindergarten. Each of our four classes has two core teachers with additional staff assisting during transitions.

  • Process Art

    We believe the process of creating is just as important as the final product.

  • Outdoor Play

    We consider our playgrounds to be an extension of the classroom.

  • Hands-On Learning

    We believe children learn best when they can engage all their senses in the learning process.

  • Engaging with Nature

    We love to learn about the creatures in the world around us.

  • Strong Bodies & Minds

    We love being active and exploring all the neat things our bodies can do!

  • Social-Emotional Education

    Our whole-child approach fosters emotional awareness and strong relationships.

“Sagebrush is truly a hidden gem, perched on Navajo Canyon with the most loving, qualified, and professional staff. Catering to the individual needs of each child, the kids are encouraged to explore, get dirty (literally) and develop their social & emotional skill sets in a supportive, facilitative, and safe environment. Both of my children have attended as well as many of our neighbor's children. The parent community is strong and supportive and the children do not want to go home at the end of the day!”
