Elle and Azie made the transition to daycare so seamless and provided an abundance of updates about our son's progression to make us completely comfortable. We love the daily updates of the activities that they work on - the crafts are the cutest and really show intention in what the class is learning everyday. The activities are all rooted in some type of development and we love seeing all of the creativity that goes into making each day different and fun. Our son loves outdoor play and the playground set up is really great. Plenty of space and age appropriate toys outside to release his wiggles during their outdoor time. We are truly so fortunate to have found someplace as special as Little Angels! The entire staff takes health and safety seriously and we appreciate all of the coordination and attention to detail. We are so thankful and look forward to bringing our daughter to Little Angels to join our son in the future!

Elle, Marlen, Azie, and Bianca care for the children with so much love, patience, and kindness. Our daughter is the youngest in the group, and they are always intentional about including her in activities while ensuring she feels safe, supported, and well cared for. We also love the structure of the daily programs they have in place. It's clear how thoughtful and engaging each day is, and it brings us so much joy to watch the privately shared videos for parents through their Instagram -- seeing our daughter learning, playing, and thriving truly makes our day. After a few months of attending twice a week at 10 months old, we're now increasing her schedule to four days a week as she approaches 14 months -- a decision we feel completely confident about. She's always excited to be dropped off, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing she's spending her days happy, learning, and building friendships. We genuinely love Little Angels, and highly recommend it!

My son is always happy to go there and sometimes even reminds me in the morning that he needs to go to school today. That says everything about a daycare! Shahnaz also provides nutritious/yummy breakfast and lunch for the kids and I always smell good food when I drop my son off. That's a big lifesaver for busy working parents like us who really don't have the time to cook big meals in the morning. I sometimes even joke with my family that Shahnaz probably takes better care of my little one than myself :). In summary, we are very glad that we find this reliable and caring daycare in our neighborhood! Thank you, Shahnaz!

They accept our child at the level he's at and caringly challenge him to grow. He loves waking up to get to school ("it's so fun to see my friends!") and gets upset when we pick him up too early. From preschool to kindergarten, this place has been nothing but nuturing and caring. The kids are all amazing. Many activities for them and they can learn at their own pace and feel supported. We've also appreciated that they offer hot catered lunches so that we have the option of taking a break from lunch packing to give our child variety and exposure to different foods and feel included among other children during meal time. Competitively priced and well worth every penny. There are enrichment programs and also extended care if you are working parents (or just need some additional time). Good area and convenient to get to. The staff is wonderful!

From day one, they made her feel truly at home, which gave us so much peace of mind as parents. Miss Johanna and her team bring so much warmth, patience, and years of experience you can genuinely feel how much they care about each child. Anytime we ran into challenges or had specific needs, they were flexible, communicative, and always willing to work with us to find solutions. That level of partnership meant a lot to our family. AlphaBlocks really hits the sweet spot between affordability, a home-like personalized environment, and high-quality care. The setup is thoughtful, welcoming, and well-run, and the team is incredibly kind and attentive. We recently moved on only because our daughter's needs changed not because of anything lacking here. We would absolutely recommend Alpha Blocks to any family looking for a nurturing, trustworthy daycare with a personal touch. We'll always appreciate the role they played in our daughter's early years. Highly Recommend!

Johanna creates such a welcoming and nurturing environment where children can thrive. One of the standout features is the amazing backyard play area.

We always felt confident that he was well cared for and having a great time. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will feel loved, stimulated, and safe, we highly recommend this one!

I feel so thankful to have found Paradise Kids. We've been sending our son since he was 6 months…read moreold, and it was nerve-wracking to leave him say the least. But our son has been there almost a year now, and he has thrived since he has been in Marjan and Ms. Niharika's care. 1. The moment we toured Paradise Kids we loved the cozy, clean room and outside play area. We happened to visit at lunch, and 7 kids were eating calmly and happily looking at us, 4 in high chairs. How?? Are they magicians? I was very impressed with the care each one was receiving and clearly there was a great routine in place for so many kids to be orderly. 2. And speaking of lunch, all meals are nutritious and prepared by the caregivers. They are offered lots of fruits and vegetables with different proteins. My son lovesss eating there. One downside is that my bland cooking is no match for the food at daycare so I've had to step it up at home. 3. We toured several OC daycares and went with an in-home daycare because we wanted a smaller facility. We were told by our friends that when our son starts daycare we should expect him to be sick all the time. He has been sick a few times but nothing serious and definitely not often. I attribute it to the small number of toddlers and Marjan's clean home (and his regular vaccines of course). As I said before, my son is thriving and loves seeing his friends and teachers. It wasn't my choice to send him so young, but as it is I am so thankful for Marjan and Ms. Niharika for treating him with so much love and care. I highly recommend Paradise Kids if you're in need of a great daycare!

My husband and I had been searching desperately for childcare, wherein we could entrust our then 11…read moremonth old son, and happened to come across Paradise Kids via Yelp. We got to tour and speak with the owner, Ms. Marjan, and quickly came to peace of mind when we saw the set up and the kids + Ms. Marjan and Ms. Niharika, her associate, interacting with each other in the backyard during playtime. Safety (and trust) was of course our number one priority, but beyond that, Ms. Marjan sealed the deal with the wealth of information she shared on how she runs her in-home daycare. We left the meeting/tour feeling like there were no unanswered questions, and confident that our son would be in the best care between Ms. Marjan and Ms. Niharika. Throughout our time together, Ms. Marjan was flexible, understanding and attentive to details/a great listener. Accommodations were made to adhere to Luca's specific dietary needs, and we knew from Luca's afternoon bowel movements that he was chowing down his daycare provided meals (mostly organic and all homemade!). Though our time was short, we're so lucky to have found this gem - organized and structured, but also with lots of room and encouragement for creativity, which allowed our son to grow and thrive! Paradise Kids is truly a paradise, and we feel everything was done in the best interest of our little boy. He has made new friends, flourished in his milestones - walking and talking, and created priceless memories here. We thank Ms. Marjan, Ms. Niharika, and the whole Paradise Kids family for helping shape the special little person that he is today, and for truly making us feel like an extension of this family.

The daily activities are engaging and well-planned -- it's clear the kids aren't just being watched, they're learning and growing every day. We've seen real development in our son socially and emotionally since starting here. The caretakers are absolutely amazing. They are patient, attentive, and genuinely care about the children. That peace of mind as a parent is priceless. Another big plus is the food -- it's healthy, fresh, and well prepared. Our son eats very well there, which says a lot. Most importantly, he loves going every single day... and in the evenings he often doesn't want to leave. That alone tells us everything we need to know. We're very grateful to have found Mini Bambini and highly recommend it to any parents looking for a nurturing and positive daycare environment in Irvine.

I have three words to describe my experience working with OC Home & Family: fast, effortless and…read moresuccessful. Here's our situation: -Full-time working parents in need of a nanny for toddler. Here's what's great about Beatriz: -Beatriz is the owner and has a vested interested in finding you the right nanny. -Her mind is a Rolodex of nannies. You tell her what you need, she'll find the right person. -She's honest; she'll tell you the pro's and con's of each person. -She is patient. She gives us time to think through what we want in a nanny and will ping us occasionally if she doesn't hear from us but she didn't harass us with emails/phone calls. If you tell her, hey I'm busy but I'll reach out to you when I'm ready, she gets it. -Beatriz works *fast*; she found us 4 nannies to interview in a day and all of them beat our expectations. -Most importantly Beatriz LISTENS and she GETS IT. I felt my requirements might be a little different than some of her other clients but she satisfied every single one of them based on the ladies she sent over for interviews. Here's what's great about OC Home and Family nannies: -OC Home and Family takes the time to include a detailed resume, references, reference letters and a photo of the nanny. -All nannies will have to undergo a background check. Some nannies are CPR certified. -OC Home and Family pre-screens all nannies and sets up all appointments so all you need to do is just interview. It's been 3 months with our nanny that Beatriz found for us and we *love* her. Most importantly, my daughter loves her. She is part of our family and I can't imagine what we would have done if I had not found her through Beatriz/OC Home and Family. I recommend Beatriz/OC Home and Family to anybody with nanny needs.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found this in-home Montessori program for our infant son. From our…read morevery first visit, we knew this was a special place. The environment is peaceful, spotless, and designed with so much intention--from the low shelves to the natural, developmentally appropriate materials. Our son has absolutely thrived here. We've watched him grow in ways that continue to amaze us--gaining confidence, developing fine motor skills, and becoming more independent each week. It's clear that the Montessori approach is being implemented with a deep understanding of infant development, and it's been so beautiful to watch our son respond to that. The caregivers are warm, attentive, and truly gifted in working with little ones. Ms. Julia has created a calm, structured rhythm that makes our son feel secure and supported. Knowing that he is in such a safe, clean, and loving space brings us so much peace of mind. I truly love the individual attention that each family gets. We are treated with a lot of respect and personal touch. Little Explorers Montessori has been incredible, working around our schedule and being super flexible. We also appreciate many enrollment options, even for infants (which most schools do not offer). And finally, they use an app where they post updates through out the day! It is very convenient for the infant so that we are aware of the feeding, diaper changes and naps. Makes it much easier and beneficial to keep the routine going! We have been here for a little over a year and have more years to come! Big thanks to the team of Little Explorers!

This daycare has brought happiness not only to my son but to our whole family. We are truly…read moregrateful. It has all the advantages of a home-based daycare, without any of the typical drawbacks. Here are just a few reasons why: The teachers are everything when it comes to choosing a place to care for young children -- and in that regard, this daycare scores beyond perfect. Ms. Julia and Mr. Vlad, along with their amazing staff, always greet the children with warm smiles. They are caring, patient, and handle discipline with just the right amount of firmness and kindness. As a result, the kids both love and respect them -- and they listen well! The daycare uses the entire first floor of their home plus the backyard, creating a cozy, homey atmosphere. But at the same time, the space is fully designed for children -- much like a larger preschool. There are swings, a slide, a seesaw, and even rabbits and parrots for the children to enjoy! Despite being a home daycare, there are engaging daily activities, many of them Montessori-based. There's even gentle academic learning, tailored to the kids' pace. In just 3-4 months, our child joyfully mastered phonics here! Every week there's also a "Show and Tell" time that our child would look forward to -- likely because the teachers are so encouraging. They also make sure play is part of every day. In the summer, there's daily water table play. They even change each child into dry clothes afterward -- something many parents, including myself, would find hard to do at home every single day. Because of all this, our child -- who struggled to adjust emotionally at a large preschool before -- became visibly happier at this daycare. He looked forward to going each day, shared lots of joyful stories about his teachers and friends at home, and even sometimes asked to stay longer at pickup time!
