Pari was so kind, loving, and patient though and helped our baby adjust and get comfortable in less than 2 weeks. He ended up loving it there and didn't even want to come home when I would go to pick him up! He ate, slept, played, and learned well and most importantly I could easily tell how much Pari truly loved my son. We plan to bring our newest baby there in a few months and look forward to seeing Pari and Amoo soon!

I love this school - I wish they went up to middle school as well!…read more All my 3 kids have gone here. I moved from Los Angeles specifically because my oldest son at the time I felt needed to be in private school; he was getting left behind in public school and he had so much potential. I interviewed with many schools all over Orange County and got a good vibe from McDowell. He started there in 2015 in 4th grade. He LOVED it and thrived there. McDowell gave him a strong foundation and he is about to be a senior at a public high school. He is a straight A student in all IB, AP and honors classes. My twins have now gone there since kindergarten and they are about to start 3rd grade. They actually look forward to school and love all their teachers and the other students! From the extracurriculars, to their main teacher for the year, to the other parents, and the Head of school, Mr. Lincoln, it has been a wonderful and nurturing environment for all my kids. I would recommend McDowell wholeheartedly!

Also, Ms Cibele is amazing because she is patience, lovely, and excellent listener. Children have core subjects like English, math, science, and social studies, computer lab, painting, and more.

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 stumbled upon the school from a referral and it was the best decision for our son. Ms. Anna and her staff create a warm, engaging and peaceful environment that supports both academic and personal growth. The small teacher-to-student ratio ensures the kids get the attention they need at this milestone age. The school is thoughtfully designed with spacious outdoor exploration space, a garden, a mascot tortoise and classrooms that inspire curiosity and independence. Ms. Anna has a gift for understanding and guiding children. She combines loving kindness with a calm, firm presence that fosters respect and cooperation. Under her care, my son is already learning valuable skills such as independence and confidence in his abilities--all within the framework of Montessori philosophy.

From day one, the staff has been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Laylah is in a safe and nurturing environment every day. The teachers are very patient and engaged--they take the time to understand each child's needs and personality. I've seen so much growth in Laylah, both socially and developmentally, since she started attending. She's always happy when we drop her off and just as happy when wepick her up, which speaks volumes. The facility is clean, organized, and well-maintained, and communication from the staff has been excellent. They keep me updated on Laylah's day, which I really appreciate as a parent. I'm truly grateful for the love and care they show my daughter. I highly recommend Childtime of Laguna Niguel to any parent looking for a trustworthy and supportive daycare.

We are really happy with our experience with our son's care at ChildTime. As two full-time working…read moreparents, the proximity to home and drop-off/pick-up hours were a big initial consideration as we selected a facility for our (then) 4 month old son. The confidence, engagement, and genuine love and openness the caregivers had for the children upon our initial visits really came through to us as well. I didn't have those "first drop off" jitters with my baby on that first day, due to my confidence in the caregiving team, and that has continued for the past 2 years! We were so appreciative of Ms. Maty and Ms. Suhair in Infants, they gave him so much love and cuddles and attention to develop and grow! His experience in Toddlers was wonderful as well, with Ms Ursula and Ms Aalia's teaching. He's recently moved up to the next class and seems to come home with a new skill or trick daily, and is always happy. Some general highlights: - Food and diapers included- wow, this makes life easy for us all (no packing lunchboxes each night), and the food is nutritious and varied. He's become a great eater by watching his peers and digging in! - Sleep- I was worried about his naps at first with lights on (for safety) but he adapted early on and now is the BEST sleeper, even at the beach, airport etc. He gets good rest with lots of fun play to wear him down. - Learning plans- lesson plans are communicated, and any questions we have are always welcomed and discussed. The teachers are happy to give and take feedback, and report progress. Lots of book reading, and guided play. *He's known his ABC's since 16 months old, had Brown Bear and farm animals/sounds memorized, and at 2 years already had Polar Bear, colors, shapes and counting to 20 down cold. Not every kid is like this I'm sure, but he gets lots of learning and it shows.* He hates coloring but give it time, right? - Communication- the SproutAbout app is great for keeping up with him during the day, and sending quick questions or getting updates from teachers or the leadership team. They're very responsive. If we ever have questions, we ask and the team is very open and responsive. (When in doubt, ask!) - Play/mixed rooms- I read in other comments that it may feel a bit overwhelming with the bigger groups in the morning drop-offs... I can understand that, especially if a child has just moved up as our son has. However, it has helped him acclimate and grow, and we feel that his independent play with bigger groups has helped his development and confidence. - Conflicts/illness- they keep a close eye out for children showing symptoms of a cold, or fever to keep the other kids healthy, and promptly communicate if our son isn't well. He also had a bee sting recently and was immediately attended to (and we were called ASAP). They also take care to de-escalate conflicts with the kids in a firm yet gentle way to teach emotional regulation. - Special school events are planned, which is a nice way to meet other parents and give the children new opportunities to play and learn. We appreciate the learning and thoughtful care our son has received as he continues to grow. Thanks, team ChildTime! PS- no photos included out of privacy for our son and other families, but we get pictures of him daily.

My son began talking while there, and she taught him both english and spanish words. I was always amazed what new things he would learn. He loved it so much that he was always excited to go each day, and he never wanted to leave when I would come to pick him up in the evening. He wanted us all to play together.
