It's definitely fun for kids as mine briefly attended. Not the greatest school but certainly not the worst. And its beautiful.

Monika's Kinderhaus Daycare

Monika's Kinderhaus Daycare

I would give 10 stars if I could!…read more There is no short story to describe a woman of Monika's character. She has made my baby, and every other child, her absolute and only priority during their time there, and she regularly checks in and takes the extra half-hour to let us know what kind of development is in the works. After touring literally EVERY school in Laguna Beach and the prominent schools in Newport Coast, Newport Beach, and Irvine, I was pretty disappointed. This is my second run, having gone through the screening process in West Los Angeles with my older daughter, where the competition is fierce. Not to worry, here is when friends in high places will come to the rescue! I was so blessed to have met Monika through a dear mutual friend who also taught at the Anneliese Schools and had the most wonderful things to say... Even that was an understatement! I called Monika to arrange a school tour and intake interview - call it mother's intuition, but the moment I heard Monika's voice, I knew that I had found the place for us. I took my two girls to visit the school, and we all fell in love with Monika and her beautiful home/school. The location is tucked away in a part of Laguna Beach that is rich in history... Her home has a magical vibe, there is a lush garden with fruit trees, a vegetable bed, flowers, and all kinds of sensory activity stations. I have no idea how she does it, but the environment is kept spotless and sanitary, which is a huge thing for me. As for Monika, I don't even know where to begin - I'd have to write a book about this Angel who loves and gives with all her heart. I have no doubt that every child feels like they are Monika's favorite. She is highly trained through the German education system, highly experienced in the Waldorf inspired approach to learning, well-educated in psychology and supporting disciplines of study, and she is energetic, sprite, attentive, and so affectionate. We started school here in the beginning of March 2015, and our daughter is thriving, absorbing information like a sponge, learning to sing in different languages, enjoying daily arts and crafts projects, making music every day and dancing to her heart's delight, eating fresh fruit from the garden and home-cooked organic food from Monika's kitchen, learning to take care of pet rabbits and watching a little hermit crab do its daily routine, gardening and picking fresh blueberries for snack time, practicing yoga, being cared for in a loving environment with seasoned routines, the list goes on... Monika is as sharp as a whistle, highly intuitive, perceptive, and observant. Nothing gets past her and I appreciate that beyond words. I know without a doubt that my child in safe, secure, cherished, and loved beyond measure every day that she is in school with Monika. What more could any parent dream for? 10 Stars Across the Board: Safety Enrichment Environment Education Stimulation Nutrition Routine & Schedules Joy & Friendship Compassion Discipline with Kindness Love Thank you for creating the ideal first experience in schooling for our younger child, Monika. You are truly a gift to our family!

She has a beautiful front yard with a sand box and toys, a garden with fresh herbs, the cutest bunny named rocket, and fun play items for the kids! Her house is so clean and tidy and each day the kids do a fun art and craft project! Rowan, the little boy I watch, goes to Monika's and loves it! He always gives her a big hug when it's time to leave. I HIGHLY recommend Monika's day care! The kids love her!

This agency is AWFUL. I was a community counselor for two years and have an in-depth knowledge of…read moretheir processes. We have also hosted 3 au pairs through this agency. It is 100% all about money for them. Our Au Pair was dropped off after a 20 hour flight in NY - without her bags, having to wear the same clothes for three days and not given any kind of a stipend. The agency just said "sorry". She was forced to do a three day workshop wearing the same clothes from Africa, having no toothbrush or warm clothing etc. and having to pay out-of-pocket for these items with zero reimbursement. After 9 months of a one year contract, our family moved to a big city that should have had a new counselor available (the state capital!) and we were told that no counselor was available so our Au Pair would be forced to rematch within two weeks. They made zero effort to hire a new community counselor. Their solution? Stay in our current location and have my husband visit on the weekends. We had to choose between losing our au pair or losing my kids dad all week. They were trying to make money off a happily placed au Pair twice by forcing her to rematch with another family who would pay again, and offering us no refund for more than three months left on a prepaid year (thousands!) if we didn't live separate from my husband. Additionally, our Au Pair was allowed to bring two bags from her home country and upon leaving the agency would only let her take one bag home for free. This means she would have to pay $200 just to bring her own belongings back home with her. This was not explained to her before hand. They also wanted to charge $140 to change flight location even though the flight was cheaper. They use a shady travel agency that will not answer the phone or take calls. They are dishonest, and completely unreasonable. DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY.

If you need an au pair for your family, go elsewhere. The local support, in particular, is…read moreatrocious. The local counselors are not knowledgeable in areas such as taxes, drivers licenses, or social security cards. We had to find all the "important stuff" out by ourselves, with ZERO support from the agency. This took an incredible amount of time and effort on our part, when this could have been easily covered in the initial class in NYC. The monthly meetings seemed to be purely social gatherings, and the girls were often encouraged to backbite and "share the dirt" on their host families. When issues arose with our au pair, I was essentially told that it was my fault (as the host mom), that I had no idea how to manage a family at 43 years old. Being "schooled" by our twenty-something local advisor was incredibly unprofessional and unhelpful. In our au pair community, girls ran rampant, drinking heavily, partying, driving while intoxicated, and taking advantage of their host families. The local advisor did nothing to teach these girls that their primary job was to WORK here and HELP their host families. Don't hire this agency. Take your funds and run the other way.

We had such a wonderful experience with Marina View Preschool. My son attended for about 2.5 years,…read moreand leaving was genuinely emotional for our family when we moved away. From the very beginning, the staff created a warm, nurturing environment where he felt safe, supported, and excited to learn. He truly loved going to school every day which, as a parent, says everything. The program is thoughtfully structured with engaging activities that promote both learning and social development, and we consistently saw him grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity. The teachers clearly care deeply about the children and go above and beyond to create meaningful experiences. Communication was always strong, and we felt like true partners in our child's development. If we hadn't moved, we would have absolutely stayed. I highly recommend Marina View to any family looking for a caring, enriching preschool environment.

I worked at this center for about a year, and my own child also attended the school, so my…read moreperspective comes not only from being an employee but also from being a parent who experienced the environment from the inside -- not just through a short 15-minute tour. Unfortunately, my experience was that the focus often felt more like getting through the day and managing survival rather than creating a warm, nurturing, and emotionally supportive environment for children. In some classrooms, especially with toddlers, I personally felt the environment could become overly strict and emotionally stressful for young children. Parents should make sure they are comfortable paying for an environment whose philosophy often seemed centered around children simply "surviving" the day emotionally rather than truly thriving. The director frequently tells children, "You're going to survive!" and appeared to genuinely believe in that approach. As a parent, I personally believe children need more than supervision and basic care. They deserve patience, emotional support, kindness, and to feel genuinely understood and valued. Sadly, this was not the environment I had hoped for for my own child or for many of the children I worked with.
