This was our family's first year at this school, and it ended up meaning so much to us…read more My son who just turned 3, had Ms. Orozco, and at the beginning of the year he was very shy and had a hard time adjusting. Ms. Orozco was so patient, warm, and encouraging that she made him feel comfortable right away. Over time, we watched him slowly open up, and before long he was actually excited to go to school. He would come home talking about her and everything he was learning, and it was such a joy to see how much confidence she helped him build. She truly helped him break out of his shell, and we are amazed by how much he learned this year. Ms. Orozco is truly an exceptional teacher. My daughter had Ms. Hernandez and Ms. Tan as she entered 2nd grade, and she was also a little shy because she didn't know anyone. They were so kind and supportive and really encouraged her to make new friends and feel like she belonged. We saw such wonderful growth in her throughout the year, both emotionally and academically, and that means so much to us as parents. It was clear that they truly care about their students and want to see them succeed. We also want to thank the front office staff, who were always great and made communication easy throughout the year. They were helpful, welcoming, and always pleasant to work with. The principal is also very attentive and approachable, which made us feel even more confident in the school. Overall, we are so grateful for the love, support, and dedication shown to our children this year. It was a wonderful first year, and we truly appreciate everyone who played a part in helping our kids grow and feel happy at school. We can't wait to see the kids continue to grow in this school system over the years to come

They say it takes a village...what better village than Arborland Montesorri!…read more Dr Chen and Ms Chen have created a wonderful place where kids can thrive and really come into their own. It's been a pleasure watching our kids grow under the tutelage of Ms Cole (and Ms Rokosz) and Ms Villaruel and her aides. Admin staff Ms Bree and Ms Kristine are great as well. One thing that stands out is the emphasis on public speaking and developing self-confidence through a variety of performances, events and daily tasks. Academically, expect your kids to reach higher (national) grade equivalency due to their strong course curriculum. Some things that we've grown to appreciate: - Variety of after school activities - Amazing teachers and staff - Convenient location for pickup/dropoff - Involved community via engaged students and parents - Lunch menu that kids actually look forward to eating - Annual events and performances It's unfortunate reading some of the negative reviews. What I've encountered has been nothing but positive feedback and a tribe of dedicated individuals who truly want to see your child succeed.

Both of our children attended…read morefrom the age of 2/3 through 5 years old, and we couldn't be happier with the education, care, and support they received during their preschool years. The teachers are nurturing, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's growth. They create a warm, loving environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to learn. The balance of building fundamental reading skills, play-based learning, and faith-based education helped prepare both of our children for kindergarten while also fostering kindness and cooperation. We especially appreciate that the school is WASC-accredited as well as NLSA through Lutheran Schools, which reflects its commitment to maintaining high educational standards. The curriculum is thoughtfully chosen and taught, and the communication between teachers and families has always been excellent. Most importantly, our children looked forward to going to school every day. They formed lasting friendships, developed a love of learning, and built a strong foundation both academically and spiritually. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact this preschool has had on our family and highly recommend it to any parents looking for a caring, high-quality preschool. We will truly miss the students, teachers and staff at Zion ECEC!

I appreciate the weekly email newsletters, emails with other special info as well as the verbal updates we receive when picking up/ dropping off. Our girls love coming here and I can see that the teachers truly love their students. Our daughters are safe and well cared for. I'm glad that the children are learning at their own pace through play and also picking up valuable social skills by interacting with children their age. My family is not a particularly religious one, however we don't mind our girls learning about Jesus and Christian values. The school is inclusive of all people which is important to us.

Very pretty church!…read more This church really caught my eye. I decided to get a closer look and see what it's about. I immediately spotted the bingo event posted on the banner. How fun! I think bingo at the church is a great idea to get people together. I appreciate when church's do things like this to make it fun and build the community. I plan on coming for mass soon. It looks like they have services in English and Spanish. That is good to offer Spanish. Just in case someone prefers that over English. The church is beautiful and very clean. I'm all about the Catholic Church!

The junior high, high school teacher is such a great Christian role model for the students, both in and out of the classroom. The biblical teaching here is so much stronger than what students get at your church youth groups especially if you attend a small church with less resources. Not sure what will happen in the future when the school gets bigger but the principal has 1:1 meetings with every student to help them choose their courses and college/career paths. It's currently the most affordable Christian private school in OC. If you want a great Christian education that is actually affordable, definitely look into Eastside.

TL;DR iRemnant has a high turnover rate of teachers, lack of communication, profit-driven, early…read moreexposure to screens, and mostly worksheet-based activities. We'd been at iRemnant for 2.5 years and have seen our two children grow up here. They've had some wonderful teachers throughout the years that really loved on our children: Sunny teacher, Moon teacher, Laura teacher, Hyunjoo teacher, Kris teacher, to name a few. And a special shout out to Sunny teacher who even buys birthday presents for the kiddos out of her own pocket :`) Unfortunately, the con's outweighed the pro's for us and we moved my daughter to a different Korean Christian preschool a few months ago. And although this new school is farther and less convenient for us, we are SO happy with our decision. We didn't realize how amazing a preschool could be because we didn't know anything else, so I wanted to share my honest review with all the parents out there who want nothing but the best for our precious children. I'll start with the positives: there's a big, grassy area to play in, lots of bikes and car toys to ride outside, animals on the property, homemade Korean lunches, and many loving teachers. And we are so grateful to have met so many wonderful families at this school. Now onto the negatives... sit tight for this one. 1. There is a high turnover rate of teachers. After Sweet class for ages 2-2.5 in less than a year span, my son had FOUR teacher transitions. Some of the teachers had only stayed for a few months! What also didn't sit right with me is the director didn't even inform us one of his teachers left. She instead had another teacher cover that class and hoped we wouldn't notice? Several parents and I were very upset about that and when I addressed this with director Grace, she blamed the teacher for leaving and didn't take any responsibility for her lack of communication. We all know the reason for a high turnover rate of staff members... and frankly, I don't even blame the teachers for leaving, because they're overworked and underpaid. 2. iRemnant is very profit-oriented. While I understand that childcare is a business, it also feels like the school nickel and dimes the families every chance it gets. For example, there is a supply list for each class and some of the requests are quite ridiculous. They want each student's family to buy color card stock paper that costs $25, aluminum foil, disposable gloves, ziploc bags... things the costly tuition should cover. My husband was especially irked when they asked for ice cream donations from families... something the school can buy for literally $20 for ALL the kiddos. They also ask for mandatory "donations" for things like the Christmas performance for videography and costumes, when they literally recycle costumes every year. It's really not about the money... it's about the principle. Don't say the money you're asking for is one thing when it really isn't... there's no integrity in that and it really bums me out that a Christian preschool does this. PLEASE consider the message you're sending with your actions. 3. There is a lot of sitting down and working on worksheets after the toddler class. At age 2. I don't know about you but I really don't want my two-year-old just sitting and coloring all day. I truly believe kids learn best through play and hands-on learning. I also try to limit screen time for my kids and didn't like how they were exposed to TV before age 2: during meal time setup, worship time (all through screens), and at the end of the day. At 5 PM, they gather all the kids in one room and turn on the screen for them. My son came home talking about all these TV shows and movies he watched, so we started picking up our kids before 5 PM to avoid this. Additionally, I'm really turned off by the fact that the director asks current parents to write positive Yelp reviews once a negative one comes in. How uncomfortable for parents to be put in that position, whose children attend the school and are pressured into writing a positive review. In my book, that's completely unethical (and maybe even against Yelp regulations??). And the amazing teachers you read about in the reviews? Probably not there anymore. I REALLY hope iRemnant can turn things around and use the preschool to BLESS the children and families. How amazing it is to have the privilege of raising these little ones in their mind and character! I write this review to help parents make an informed decision for their children's preschool, and I'm also hoping this may lead to some positive changes at the school.

My daughter has been coming to this school for a year now and she has learned so much!…read more We are Latinos and not at all Korean nor do we speak it but what brought me to choose this school was how much they prioritize learning about the gospel They do worship and chapel every single day and start a new lesson every week. Also although my girl is only 3 she already is practicing writing her name and learning about so many different things. Also picking up some Korean words here and there which is amazing. She's also enjoying learning to be independent! They encourage that a lot in school which helps me here at home with how she handles tasks. She's getting such an advantage in education and not only with worksheets (which are important) but also through hands on learning and themed weeks So far she's learned about space, traveling, American and Korean culture, important American history, and so much more! Yes she's 3 and has a lot to learn but learning from this early has been so beneficial for her. They do such cute crafts for all the themed holidays which is my favorite keepsakes at home They are constantly having fun with either birthday parties or parties where the parents have the option to help with donating different foods or treats like ice cream and I don't mind donating at all she loves sharing with her class and bringing things for everyone to try She also gets a great nutrition at the school with daily fresh homemade meals and snack. She's not even picky about greens and veggies since she's been exposed and encouraged at school to try new things all the time. The teachers and staff are very kind and know my daughter very well even if they aren't in her class she knows them all by name. She's also had Christmas performances, ballet performances and they also do taekwondo but my daughter was not interested she did get a free trial though Every penny we spend here is worth it and I definitely recommend it. We know how hard work life can be being away from our kids sometimes and I completely trust them to take care of my daughter while I work. (Pictures are only of my daughter any other child face is blurred to protect their identity )
