Where Little Minds Begin Big Journeys

At Nese Kids Care, we provide exceptional early education for children as young as 6 weeks up to 5 years old. Our thoughtfully designed programs nurture each child’s natural curiosity while building the foundation for lifelong learning.

Conveniently located at 967 Camino Del Rio S in San Diego, our center offers a safe, accessible environment where children can explore, create, and grow with confidence under the guidance of our experienced educators.

Nese Delibas (pron: NEH-SHAY)

At the heart of Nese Kids Care is our owner, Nese Delibas (pronounced NEH-SHAY), whose lifelong passion for children and family shapes everything we do.

Nese grew up in Turkey in a large, close-knit family where caring for younger siblings, cousins, and neighbors was a natural part of daily life. Those early experiences instilled in her a deep love for nurturing children and a belief that every child thrives when surrounded by joy, patience, and encouragement.

In fact, her name “Nese” means “Joy” in Turkish—a perfect reflection of the warmth and happiness she brings into every classroom and program at Nese Kids Care. Families can feel that spirit of joy throughout our center, from the smiles of our teachers to the laughter of the children.

With years of hands-on childcare experience and a heart dedicated to building safe, welcoming spaces for kids, Nese has made it her mission to create a community where children flourish and parents feel confident in their choice of care.

Nese and Nese Kids Care have also been featured in recent news stories on Fox and KUSI, highlighting the center’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and family-centered programs that stand out in San Diego.

Our Philosophy: Learning Through Love and Play

At Nese Kids Care, we believe that early childhood is a time of wonder, discovery, and tremendous potential. Our philosophy honors each child’s unique journey while providing the guidance, care, and stimulation they need to thrive.

Whole Child Approach

A young boy, benefiting from early education, kicks a soccer ball on an outdoor field while an adult, possibly his father, stands in front of the goal ready to catch or block the ball. Both appear to be enjoying the game.

We nurture cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development, recognizing that children learn best when all aspects of their growth are supported simultaneously.

Play-Based Learning

A smiling teacher stands with five happy preschool students in front of a chalkboard filled with drawings and equations. The children hold books and notebooks, while a globe and school supplies sit on a desk at this Mission Valley classroom.

Our curriculum leverages children’s natural curiosity through purposeful play experiences tailored to each developmental stage, making learning engaging and meaningful.

Supportive Environment

Three children crouch outdoors in San Diego, examining plants and soil with magnifying glasses. A colorful drawing of a tree lies on the ground before them in this preschool setting, surrounded by grass and shade.

Our experienced educators create warm, responsive relationships with each child, providing the emotional security needed for confident exploration and learning.

Our Facility: A Safe, Stimulating Environment

Our thoughtfully designed spaces prioritize both safety and inspiration. Each classroom features learning centers tailored to different developmental domains, while our secure outdoor playgrounds encourage physical activity and nature connection. We maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and security, including controlled access entry systems and regular safety inspections.
