Licensed Care for Peace of Mind at Every Hour


The most important factor in choosing overnight care is trust. We eliminate worry by providing the highest level of professional credentials in our 24 hour daycare San Marcos and Vista area services.

NiteOwl Nursery & Childcare is a licensed facility. This means our extended hours meet all state safety and supervision requirements.


Our staff is CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring immediate response readiness throughout the night. 


The focus on safety is very important. Your child is looked after by trained professionals in Early Childhood Education. They are not just casual sitters.

Even during late-night or early-morning stays, children benefit from our structured enrichment. We ensure age-appropriate activities are available, incorporating elements of our arts-based curriculum during their waking hours. 


This ensures that whether they are with us for two hours or twelve, their time is productive and engaging. It aligns with our promise to support creative development.
