About Scripps

Now, they are expanding their horizons and opening a new facility in the innovative Boulders development on Normandy Drive right here in Menifee.

Their mission is to develop the whole child by encouraging students in their social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development. I love that they focus on play-based learning and academic readiness. Their passionate educators prioritize curiosity, self-esteem, and the joy of discovery over a focus on just the final product.
