Everyone here from the teachers to the…read morefront office staff and administrators have created a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment where your children develop and thrive. This is a school where a real sense of community exists. Entire families really get to know each another through the wonderful school activities and events throughout the years. Staff goes the extra mile to really get to know your child and family. We'll never forget how one of our son's teachers delivered a special sign filled with messages from his classmates when he was in the hospital. Most importantly, the curriculum and teaching methods are excellent. The school utilizes the perfect amount of technology that is age-appropriate. By the time our kids left kindergarten, they were more than prepared for the first grade. The emphasis on social skills and kindness is also invaluable. Our children have always enjoyed going to school each day and seeing their teachers and classmates. In fact, they never want to leave when we pick them up, and that's always been a great sign. TRP will always have a special place in our hearts.

Turtle Rock Preschool has been the perfect school for our son as we settled into Irvine. Going in,…read morewe wanted a place where our son could grow up as a warm-hearted, loving person and be instilled a sense of curiosity for the environment and people around him -- TRP has knocked it out of the park on both so far. In our second year with the school, our experience with teachers, staff, and families have all been incredible. Not only are teacher student ratios great, they pair up the teachers into perfect "teams" that seem to balance foundational principles really well. We see the teacher teams are able to prioritize both fun and education, fitness and discipline, and experience and creativity. TRP is where staff knows kids by names, and where families become new best friends. It is also situated in a quiet part of Turtle Rock with access to a ton of shared natural playground space where kids can hang out before, during, and after classes vs. some other options we looked at that are situated in the middle of a more commercial backdrop. School leadership under Maajed really emphasized this aspect, which resonated with us during the tours and has come through for our son in a big way IRL!

The staff were attentive, organized, and actively engaged throughout the event. I only have one concern that I felt needed to be addressed. While the students were using the restrooms, other patrons were not allowed to enter. Although I understand the intention of creating a safe environment for the students, this policy created difficulties for other guests, especially those with young children who are potty training or may need immediate restroom access. With such a large number of staff members stationed near and inside the restrooms for supervision, I believe there could have been a better balance between student safety and accommodating the needs of other patrons. Please be more mindful of how your school policies affect everyone when implemented in a public setting.

She does everything big in the best ways from celebrating all the holidays, dress up days, & a lot of family involved events! The teachers are all fantastic & my son has learned so many things! We've even started composting at home because of the lessons he learned in school about it. 10/10 recommend

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!

Our younger child started at GSP from six months old, and looking back, choosing GSP was definitely one of the best decisions we made.

Every teacher we have met here is genuinely caring and loving. The staff and front office have always been supportive, providing prompt and thoughtful responses to our requests. We will deeply miss the warm smiles we saw everywhere on campus, the birthday celebrations for kiddos at chapel, the lovely holiday gifts from the classrooms, and every page of the yearbook so thoughtfully customized for each child!

We were new to the area, and it was the first year our son attended "public" school. We were…read moreconcerned about the after school program as both parents work full time. It was not an option for us, and we are SO BLESSED to get a spot at this excellent CDC (by the way, the waiting list is longer than the first grade intake... if any City Council people are reading this, you need to increase their quota or whatever it is that grants this CDC more spots for kids). The place is kept clean and tidy, and there is an assigned space for everything. Like some of the other reviewers, our son would "sulk" if we picked him up "too early". We love the fact that this CDC has so much cool stuff to captivate developing minds. He frequently would mix things learned in "school" with things learned in CDC, which tells me that the time spent after school is not just idle play or "childcare" type supervision. This review is all over the place, but I am just doing a brain dump because I feel like people who care enough to check the reviews would want as much information as possible to come to their own conclusions. Equally impressive is the obvious expertise and careful attention from the professional staff! Can you imagine the "Child Assessment" provided was SPOT ON from the 3-years' observations from his time in Montessori. And Stonegate CDC gave us the first assessment during the first month! There is regular update on how our son is progressing, and feedback not just on what he is doing, but what they are working on. We expected "after school childcare" and wanted a safe environment. We were blown away with a full on well-run program that our son simply loves and is motivated to participate in. The "clubs" from Monday through Thursday is a highlight of his week, with frequent projects and artifacts brought home and proudly shown to us. His favorites so far were cooking, origami, duct tape, track... actually too many to remember. Children are like sponges, so put them in the right environment with the right people, and you will see them bloom. If your child is attending Stonegate Elementary and has an opportunity to join Stonegate CDC, don't hesitate.
