I wanted to do a follow up post- because the owner left a comment on my original post that said as…read moresoon as they were made aware of HFMD they notified parents- this was NOT true. In fact an immediate search of their school on the Orange County child licensed care website shows my allegation was sustained. If you're looking for honesty, this school is not it. And I'm sure like my last post there will all of a sudden be five random perfect reviews but remember if something seems weird it usually is. This school owes it to me to fully reimburse my one week of tuition that I paid. I highly recommend the other contact me- you have my info. Besides my own violation that is now on their official report I saw that another parent also recently reported them just be aware.

I would proceed carefully and with my eyes wide open about all feedback (good and bad) relating to…read morethis school. I pulled my child out after an incident where the director and ownership were not truthful to me about the circumstances of how my daughter was injured. It was crushing to feel that the village that supported me and which I relied on when my daughter was an infant would misrepresent facts to me. To be clear, this was not the first time she has been injured at the school - kids get hurt, whether at school or at home. The situation that led us to leave the school was different because what they told me about how she was hurt did not match her actual injuries and it was the second incident resulting in injury near her eye that happened around the same time the students were moved around in the morning to their assigned classrooms. On the same day of her injury, she came home with twigs shoved in the straw of her clear water bottle. The overall picture is that the staff that day just were not watching the kids closely. Check the state licensing page for recent complaints filed about them relating to their infant room and preschool room. I also have screenshots and evidence of the admin telling me stories different from what actually happened, which was documented on video. I have had a positive experience until this year (2025). That's why I am not removing my original post. However, when my daughter moved to the 2-year-old room and it was not great, and we moved her after this incident. The staff has high turnover and are not set up for success. I am not sure what has changed during the last year, but things have changed and not for the better. If you are part of a local parent group on FB, I would encourage you to look at discussions about local daycares to see unfiltered feedback about this school. Again, good and bad. Last but not least, there is video of all the rooms and activity. The footage is not continuously recorded, but it can be retrieved within a certain time frame. This may have changed or they may have changed their systems. But just know that I was told that footage was not available when I asked on the date of the incident. However, when I issued a letter of preservation, the video was suddenly available. It took almost a month for them to finally make it available for me to review. I have all of these communications documented in writing. These actions do not support the claim that they made to me that they are transparent.

Wow, where to start.... we found Little Scholars when we first moved up to the area in 2022 and our…read moredaughter started in the Twodles class with Ms. Natalie. We had a rough first experience with another care center when we first moved here, so we. moved her to Little Scholars after a few months at the other center. This child care center has been almost a family to us in the last 3 years when my daughter went there - every single teacher she's had, she has fond memories of (especially Ms. Toni, Ms. Sara, Ms. Rosa!). All the directors are amazing - and my daughter looks forward to going to "school" every single day! They have an amazing summer program in which they coordinate water slides, reptile visits, and other excursions. They organize egg hunts, make Mothers Day/Fathers Day crafts, have a fun Christmas performance, create memorable send-off promotion ceremony - I truly cannot believe all these teachers do to make the year so memorable. The facility is clean, bright and airy - they have a great indoor "play area" when it's cold/rainy outside. The curriculum for Pre-K is pretty spot on - my daughter was ready to enter Kinder and was definitely ahead of the pack when joining. I also really love the every day photos and Brightwheel updates they make on what she's eating, videos, photos, fun daily moments. I simply cannot say enough good things about this center! I would highly recommend!

My now 15 month old has moved into the toddler room with Ms. Britney. She walks into the class and as soon as she hears Ms. Britney call her name, she smiles and walks in even faster to find her. My daughter also really loves the director, Ms. Taryn, and gets so excited to see her. My oldest continues to thrive in Preschool with Ms. Rosa and occasionally, Ms. Toni. They are her favorites and always talk about them and what they teach her. My heart is filled with gratitude for Debbie, the owner, and the whole Little Scholars family. Thank you!

We are beyond grateful for Rose Daycare and Azi. From day one, Azi has created a loving, safe, and…read morenurturing environment that truly feels like a second home. She is incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about each child as if they were her own. The daycare is always clean, well-organized, and filled with positive energy. Azi keeps us updated, communicates clearly, and makes parenting easier by giving us peace of mind every single day. It's obvious how much love and intention she puts into what she does. Choosing Rose Daycare was one of the best decisions we've made for our child. We highly recommend Azi to any parent looking for a trustworthy, warm, and dedicated caregiver.

My now 5-year-old daughter has been attending Pine Tree since she was 2, and my younger daughter,…read morenow 3.5, also started when she was 2. Before choosing Pine Tree, I toured about five different schools because I wanted to make sure we found a place where my children would not only be safe, but also happy, supported, and able to thrive. As a parent, trusting someone else to care for your little ones is a huge decision--and Pine Tree made that decision so much easier. From the moment we toured the school, Ms. Perla made us feel incredibly welcomed and at ease. She was warm, transparent, and genuinely enthusiastic about the children, the staff, and the school's approach. We could immediately tell that this wasn't just a daycare--it was a nurturing learning environment built with heart. Ms. Perla and Ms. Michelle are hands-down the best ever. Their communication with parents is consistent, thoughtful, and reassuring, and they truly go above and beyond to make each child feel seen, safe, and loved. The teachers at Pine Tree foster a strong foundation not just academically, but emotionally and socially. We've seen so much growth in our daughters--from their language and problem-solving skills to their confidence and emotional regulation. The curriculum is age-appropriate and engaging, and they do an amazing job at balancing structure with play, creativity, and exploration. They also celebrate cultural events and individual milestones, which makes every child feel special and included. The school maintains a clean, safe, and joyful environment that radiates positivity. It's clear that the staff take pride in what they do, and that translates into the way the children flourish here. My daughters come home excited to tell us about their day--and that kind of enthusiasm says everything. We are incredibly grateful to have found Pine Tree Preschool. Highly recommend to any parent who's looking for a place where their child will be truly cared for, supported, and encouraged to grow. There's absolutely nothing negative to say--only gratitude for the amazing care and experiences our children have had here.

My son attended this preschool for two years. Initially, things were great when the previous…read moreadministrator was in charge, but once Ms. Amanda took over, everything started to go downhill. One of the biggest issues is the incredibly high teacher turnover. When we raised concerns about this, we were told they can't keep teachers due to low pay, which was very unsettling. My son, who is sensitive to change, had five different teachers within an eight-month period. This was far too much for a 3-year-old to handle, and it understandably affected his behavior. Instead of offering support to help him adjust, Ms. Amanda continually blamed us and labeled my son as a "problematic kid." She even told other teachers that my son might have a brain issue, which was both hurtful and completely inappropriate. After consulting with two psychologists and a pediatrician, all of them confirmed my son is perfectly normal, and they strongly recommended removing him from the school. Ms. Amanda also lied to us multiple times. She claimed that other parents were unhappy with my son attending the school, but after speaking with many of them directly, they completely denied this. She also said that teachers didn't want my son in their class, but when I talked to two of his teachers, they firmly rejected this claim. It was clear that Ms. Amanda was fabricating these stories to avoid addressing the real issues and to place blame on us instead of taking responsibility. Though there were a few wonderful teachers, like Mrs. Poei and Mrs. Yovana, the turnover rate in the 3-4 year old class and TK is alarming. Worse still, Ms. Amanda's attitude towards the children is deeply concerning. She expects complete obedience from students, likely because she struggles to manage difficult situations. Anytime a child so much as takes a toy from another, parents are required to sign a form, and this behavior is documented. This documentation was used against us when they suggested our son wasn't a good fit for the school. Also, many of the 5-star reviews for this preschool are written because parents are encouraged to leave positive reviews in exchange for a $50 discount. After leaving Pine Tree, I enrolled my son in a new school, and he is thriving. He loves his teacher, enjoys going to school, and it has become clear just how poor the experience at Pine Tree really was. If your child is active, sensitive to change, or doesn't fit a rigid mold, I would strongly advise against this school. Their rigid expectations and Ms. Amanda's harsh, untruthful, and unprofessional approach made for a terrible experience for our family

There are truly not enough words to express how grateful I am for Mays. As a working single mom,…read morethere is no greater gift than knowing your children are safe, loved, and genuinely cared for while you're away. In many ways, Mays and Nora spend more waking hours with my children than I do during the week, and that level of trust is something I never take for granted. My son has absolutely thrived in her care. He loves going every day, has made wonderful friends, and is always excited to tell me about the fun activities, holiday celebrations, and special moments they share. My daughter has also grown so much since starting with Ms. Jubran. Watching her confidence, social skills, and development flourish has been incredible. What makes Ms. Jubran so special is that this isn't just a daycare, it's a second home. They love these children as if they were their own. Every child receives individual attention because she keeps her program small, and you can see the difference that makes. Thank you for everything that you do.

At Blessed Sacrament Children's Learning Center, I can safely tell you, your child and your whole…read morefamily will be LOVED. Their motto is "Where children know they're loved" and they live up to it. Every teacher knows every child, and everyone is treated like family. They have a lovely playground and spend quality time outdoors, tending the garden, observing the wildlife, and practicing their motor skills. They have chapel twice a week with Miss Patty and have the opportunity to be in a beautiful church with stained glass windows, experiencing sacred art and architecture. Miss Patty (a wonderful musician) plays the grand piano and leads the children in fun singing, praising God. One of their favorites is "Rejoice in the Lord always!" One or two kids light the candle every week and snuff it out, offering their little prayers to God, celebrating birthdays, praying for sick pets, saying thank you for our blessings (they do a beautiful Blessing of the Animals on the feast of St. Francis). Kids also have the opportunity to participate in Ash Wednesday traditions. I went every year with my daughter for the imposition of ashes. Fr. Barrett, the rector, regularly gives children's sermons during chapel. There are supplemental enrichment classes as well - music, karate, science, visits from the police, fire department, tooth fairy, and other community helpers. The kids love the summer program as well - each week there is a different theme and water play days! My daughter attended for 3 years and was more than ready for elementary school at the end of it. The social skills she developed are priceless. She also came out knowing all the basics as well - shapes, colors, letters, practicing writing. Oh, and did I mention, they potty trained her, too, and were happy to do it! As a parent who didn't have that much extended family support - the CLC community was a lifeline. Tracie and Sheila and the teachers were there for me to help me in the tricky toddler years of parenting, and I am eternally grateful. Logistics - Drop off and pick up are convenient - easy parking. The cost is affordable compared to other preschools I looked at, and they give church members a tuition discount, which I appreciated very much. They also have high teacher retention which is so important for the children and their sense of stability. Each teacher brings a unique skill set and personality and they work together as a team. The parent community is wonderful, too, and there are multiple events throughout the year for the families to connect - like the bike-a-thon and the wonderful Christmas concert the kids and teachers put on. Thank you, THANK YOU to all the loving teachers and directors, past and present, and the board members who do so many extra special things behind the scenes to make the preschool such a nurturing place for our children.
