They also moved the start time of his class by three hours on short notice. It seems like children who don't have special needs might do well there, but it was not a good environment for my son. We have moved out of the district for elementary school and our experience at ECLC was a big factor driving this decision.

And the adult to child ratio doesn't exceed 1:8. From my first call to inquire about the school to enrolling my kids, the front office staff were very helpful and courteous. I love that the location is a former elementary school, making the transition from preschool to kindergarten even more seamless. The short class duration (3 hours) made pickup challenging (as working parents), but we make sacrifices so that our children get a great education.

I am sure you can find better child care for this price!

My son has attended their preschool program for almost two years. The school is warm and inviting…read more All the teachers, even in other classrooms, know all the kids names. When I was looking for a school, I was a nervous mom and the director and teacher took the time to answer all my questions. I was initially sad that they don't send pictures, but it just means the teachers are focused on the kids and not technology. You do get pictures in a lovely scrapbook at the end of the year and they post pictures and updates next to their classroom door. As an educator myself, I have been impressed with how much my son is learning and how detailed his "report card" is during our parent conferences. The teachers know your kids fully and change their teaching strategies to support your child. Did I mention that they're AMS accredited? They were the only ones in Irvine the last time I checked. I cannot recommend this place more. My child loves coming to school too.

Our five-year-old has attended LePort Montessori School Irvine Orchard Hills for almost a year now…read more We have had a wonderful experience. We feel especially fortunate to have Ms. Dilusha and Ms. Adriana as her Primary classroom teachers. She has made meaningful progress in both math and reading. Just as importantly, she has grown in confidence and independence. When she first started, our daughter experienced a brief period of drop off anxiety, Ms. Dilusha handled it with patience and warmth. She calmly welcomed her into the classroom, helped her settle into an activity, offered the reassurance she needed without making the transition feel overwhelming. Our daughter feels safe, supported, and genuinely happy to go to school each day. We truly appreciate the thoughtful care and guidance she has received. We wholeheartedly recommend this school.

We loved our two years at Irvine Community Nursery School! It's a truly special play-based,…read moreparent-participation program where kids get plenty of time to explore, interact, and develop social skills. Our daughter started at just 3 years old, freshly potty trained, and transitioned more easily than we expected. In the first year she enjoyed school, and in the second year she really blossomed--literally running towards the classroom in the mornings. Watching her grow into her own identity, separate from mom and dad, was amazing. As parents, we valued the chance to volunteer in class and see her development firsthand. We even took on the role of school webmasters in our second year. Juggling schedules wasn't always easy, but it was worth it. We left with not only wonderful memories, but friendships we hope will last. This program deserves all the recognition it can get! Families should be lining up for the chance to enroll.

My kids love playing on their playground. They have real objects like walkie talkies, a phone-booth setup which serve as reference points to give a better grasp of history when they get to school. Ms. Megumi does a great job of maintaining the garden. There are bugs, butterflies, seeds, and plants the kids interact with, and the kids even get to eat vegetables from the garden. The school community puts real effort into family events. The Halloween Trunk-or-Treat and the Christmas Fair are fun for both kids and parents. While the cost reflects local market rates, this program is supplemental.

I'm delighted to write this detailed review of my family's time at Child's World Preschool…read more Our oldest son started at CWPS in the Summer of 2021 during the summer program and we only dipped our toes in, doing just 2 days a week on the T/TH schedule. We enrolled that fall in the 3 day a week program M,W, F. He loved the school, and loved his teachers Miss Miki and Miss Marisela. It felt very magical from the beginning, from the fantastic play yard to all the smiling faces and happy kids. We knew early on how much we enjoyed the school so we enrolled our youngest daughter into the Parent/Toddler program as soon as she was eligible at 18 months. Miss Colleen was wonderful and we faithfully did every session until our daughter was 3 and old enough for the main pre-school program. And she started her pre-school at 5 days a week right away because she was so prepared and ready for it thanks to all of her time with Miss Colleen. Our son went up to 5 days a week for his pre-kindergarten year. He had Miss Tami and Miss Miranda and our whole family loved Miss Tami so much. We started feeling that sense of teacher loyalty. So we admit we were secretly hoping Miss Miki would be our daughter's pre-school teacher too because we were so happy with her, only to find out that Miss Jaime was the perfect match! Our little one blossomed so much during her year with Miss Jaime and Miss Cherie. We finally realized ALL of the teachers are fantastic. So as she was cruising through her pre-kindergarten year last Fall with Miss Betty and Miss Lisset, our family was beginning to feel nostalgic and the distant sting of not having Child's World in our life anymore after 4 wonderful years. It has been a pleasure dealing with everyone at the school from Miss Cindy to now Miss Mai as well as Miss Kelly and Miss Donna, the administration team has been steady, professional and helpful. We also want to give a special thanks and mention to the wonderful other teachers on campus like Miss Cece, Miss Carolina, Miss Amber and Miss Megumi who also made a personal stamp on the hearts of our kids. We loved all the events for the whole family especially Family Fun Day in the Spring and the Christmas Fair and Pancake Breakfast. Both of our kids always took part in the chapel days as well and they loved it, but we never felt any pressure to participate in church events. We can truly say that our experience with Child's World has been one of the best things about our life as parents in Orange County after moving here about 6 years ago. We took so much joy knowing what a wonderful head start they were getting on school, socialization and life outside the house in general. And we are so grateful. Thank you Child's World!

He moved to Ms. Jamila and Ms. Erica's preschool class when he turned 3 and they have done so much to help him grow. He's now headed into TK and we are so excited for his next steps in this school! Honestly, the whole staff has been so helpful and friendly! And they all know my son, even if they never taught him or had him in class! They all feel like family! They offer food on campus and that has been a life saver! Their chef is just the sweetest and makes all my son's favorites. They also provided diapers and wipes. He also LOVES the dance class (Dancing in Harmony). Everbrook also offered Spanish class, phonics and soccer too. We also have enjoyed every parent event and have really formed a community of friends! I would recommend this preschool to anyone looking for somewhere their child would thrive and be loved!

The teachers are so caring, super competent, and very communicative. We've seen a positive change in our son since he's started. He listens better, has learned Korean, and always looks forward to going back! You can tell the curriculum is top-notch. They send back what they've worked on during the week, and it's impressive. The kids have fun events at school as well, including a magic show and a snow cone day! Not only this, the food they serve is amazing! Delicious, healthy, and varied. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served, so that helps a working mama like myself. Really recommend this school!

Today was her first day of school. My daughter is 2 years old. My husband and I dropped her off in her classroom but because she was crying, my husband wanted to look thru the window to make sure she was ok. 5min in, the teacher gets a paper clip straightens it out and pokes her arm and tells her to shush. Im just so glad we got her out immediately.

The staff Ms Lura and Ms Kayley have been there for years and are phenomenal. They have always gone the extra mile, friendly and professional. The teachers are simply the best and love their students. They all have a long tenure with this school. We see all the students at the school learn so much from the teachers. Our daughter was lucky to have Ms Beatriz as a teacher. She is spectacular! Her previous career was as a programmer in Java and found her true passion in teaching. Because of her when our daughter was 4 she could identify all the continents, say the pledge of allegiance, name the human organs/body parts, name the planets, life cycle of caterpillar to butterfly, read books, add numbers up to twenty, subtract numbers up to twenty and when she turned 5 she was able to begin multiplication of zero, one, and two. Our daughter has learned so much social skills and leadership skills. The children take turns being the leader for the day and are so excited when it's their turn. The fun activities are off the charts with water days, foam party, animal/reptile visitors, police and firefighter day visits, weekly music classes, trunk or treat, Christmas and Christmas in July and art activities. The students perform in front of parents for Christmas, Mothers' and Fathers Day celebration. There were also extra curricular activities such as weekly soccer, hero sports (11 different sports were taught) yoga, dance, gymnastics. Over time our daughter got to try all these out. The only advice we would offer is to read everything the staff and teachers provide and send to you. Also listen to the teachers' advice and recommendations and to follow their leads. Working as a team with them made it flow easier. Thank you to all the teachers and staffs at Spectrum Montessori Woodbury!
