Experienced Day Care Center Staff

Since 1982, the Children's Preschool & Learning Center in Poway, California, has nurtured and encouraged young children to achieve their fullest potentials. Owned and operated by Anoush Tencati, a classically educated Paris-Sorbonne University student, our daycare center features friendly educators, updated facilities, and engaging activities.

About the Owner

Anoush obtained her multiple-subject life teaching credentials at the University of California, Irvine.

Skilled Childhood Education Specialists

Each member of the Children's Preschool & Learning Center staff is hand-chosen based on their ability to meet state requirements for preschool education. We also screen for intangible, nurturing qualities, such as compassion and the ability to relate to young children. Live Scan, an independent background checking company, conducts all of our screenings, including a fingerprint check.
