The daycare is located in La Mision, Baja California, Mexico. We are about 45 minutes to 1 hour from the San Diego border, in a small colonia between Rosarito and Ensenada.

Directions

Take the I-5 or I-805 South to the San Ysidro border. After crossing the border, get into the far right lane. Look for the sign that says “Rosarito, Ensenada Scenic Road.” Take this exit on the RIGHT, immediately after crossing the border. You need to make sure you get on this highway. Keep watching for the “Rosarito, Ensenada Scenic Road” signs and stay on this “scenic road” or “toll road” until you reach La Mision.

You will encounter two toll booths which require you to pay about $2.50 each. After the second toll booth, you will go about 20 miles and take the exit that says, “La Fonda, La Mision.”  Turn left at the bottom of the exit.

Follow the road under the freeway and around the mountain. As you come up the hill be ready to merge off  to the RIGHT onto a dirt road. We are the two story peach colored house and brick colored building, with a big black gate and two palm trees in front. You can’t miss it!
