    Marco Polo is a wonderful school, and we're so grateful for the two and a half years our family…read morespent there. A special thank you to Kimberly and Jiang, who truly make the school feel like one big family. They create so many opportunities for both children and parents to connect and are always incredibly supportive. When Fiona first started, we went through some challenges with adjusting to school. Kimberly and Jiang were there for us every step of the way--not only helping Fiona feel comfortable and adjust, but also supporting us as parents and giving us helpful guidance on how to support her emotionally. That meant so much to our family. All of the teachers we've met have been warm and friendly, and the school is always well cared for. Teacher Tima and Paris are especially sweet and caring with the children, and Teacher Eric even introduces them to some basic Spanish, which Fiona really enjoyed. They also have lots of fun activities throughout the year, especially during the summer. We have so many good memories from our time at Marco Polo and would definitely recommend this school to other families.

    We will forever be grateful to Marco Polo. Our daughter started attending when she was just two…read moreyears old, and now at four, we're blown away by how much she's grown. Her vocabulary has taken off, she's genuinely curious about the world, and most importantly, she's confident in who she is. She absolutely loves going to school. The teachers are warm, passionate, and deeply care about the children. They create an environment where learning feels like joyful discovery. The curriculum is thoughtfully play-based and beautifully rooted in nature and the world around them. Marco Polo has played such a meaningful role in shaping who our daughter is becoming. We couldn't ask for more.

    This is a very much overdue review! My daughter started Storybook daycare a few weeks after she…read moreturned 2 and she's been there a full year now. I cannot express how much I appreciate the staff for the care my daughter receives. I have seen growth in her skills and knowing she comes home telling me what she's learned or showing me things she'd made melts my heart. She looks forward to attending daycare most of the time which makes me feel comfortable leaving her while I have to work full time. I love how the staff has a warm friendly family like energy. They communicate very well and listen to any concerns one might have. Another bonus is the traditional schools year style they have which means the kids take their yearly picture along with spring pics and Santa pics which all come out amazing. The staff puts a lot of effort into the events that they have for the kids and families to attend which makes my daughter happy that I'm able to see her "school and teachers" as she says. I think a lot of the staff has been there for a good amount of time and they're care for children is so great that I've had parents tell me their siblings went there or another child of theirs so they've been knowing about this amazing daycare for a long time Also, I toured about 6 other daycares and my daughter was shy and timid when seeing them with me but when we went to Storybook for the tour she warmed up right away and said she wants to go their so that was a big sign for me. Thank you to all the staff at Storybook for making this new mom feel comfortable about sending her daughter to daycare which I was terrified of and now I plan to send my 1 year old as soon as she turns 2.

Calvary is deeply rooted in Christian values, and you truly see those values lived out daily through the way teachers care for students and how the community supports one another. One of the things we love most is the strong sense of community. Families are welcoming, and there are many opportunities for parent involvement, which makes you feel connected to your child's education. We strongly believe parent involvement plays a huge role in shaping our children's future. The school also offers many field trips and hands-on learning experiences that keep students excited and engaged. The teachers are experienced, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's growth--academically, spiritually, and socially. With over 50 years of history, the school has a strong foundation and clear mission. We also appreciate the diverse student body and the emphasis on mission opportunities. Academically, we love the focus on spelling bees, speech meets, and foreign language instruction starting in first grade. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

    As a mom of three, I've experienced several daycare settings over the years and I can honestly say…read morethat the infant classroom here has been one of the best experiences I could have hoped for. Leaving a baby at daycare is one of the hardest things a parent can do. When they're so young, they can't tell you whether they feel safe, loved, or happy during the day. You have to trust your instincts and the people caring for them. Even when they're just a few months old, I've learned that you can absolutely tell the difference between an environment where a child feels secure and one where they don't. My daughter truly thrived here. She was genuinely cared for, loved, and accepted, and that gave me so much peace of mind. During drop off she would try to get out of my arms to get to her teachers. Maybe she was excited for breakfast, but more than anything, it was obvious she was excited to be there. She'd light up when she saw them and would often start dancing with them before I even left. As a parent, there's nothing more reassuring than seeing your child genuinely happy to walk through those doors. She's now moved on to the next classroom, and while I'll miss the infant team, I'm incredibly grateful for the love and care they showed her during such an important stage of her life. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be cared for with kindness, warmth, and genuine affection, I would absolutely recommend this KinderCare. The ONLY downside is that the parking is tough to find during peak drop off times and that can be a little frustrating but I know the director has been looking to alleviate that issue. Still, a small inconvenience when you know your kid is with genuinely good people.

    I will start by saying I am so grateful and love this KinderCare. All three of my children went…read morehere. My oldest started at 18 months, and my younger 2 at 6 months; we only changed facilities after 5 years to be closer to our house. The teachers are kind, loving, and involved with the kids. You can see they genuinely care for your child when you drop them off or pick them up. They keep parents updated on any upcoming events or incidents and are ready and willing to discuss any concerns. We miss everyone here every day, and my kids are so lucky to have learned, experienced, and grown SO MUCH from the amazing teachers! There's not just 1 amazing teacher; there's a whole KinderCare full, THANK YOU!

Daniela and Elaina at the front desk are the absolute best always friendly, super helpful, and you can tell they really care about the families and kids. The teachers in both the infant and threes rooms are wonderful too. They do so many fun, hands-on activities, and my kids come home happy and excited to tell me all about their day. The classrooms are always clean and full of laughter, and I've never had a reason to worry about safety or care. It really feels like a warm, loving environment where everyone knows your child and genuinely enjoys what they do. We're so happy we made the switch and couldn't recommend Kiddie Academy of Santa Ana more!

    This review is based upon my experience in the infant room at Kiddie Academy of Santa Ana. This…read morefacility is dangerous. The teachers do not pay attention to the infants, instead they spend hours on their phones while toddlers comingle with infants whom cannot crawl nor walk. They do not follow California laws or protocols. They do not report injuries to parents. The administrative staff cover up the illegal actions of the teachers instead of correcting them. The owners Joseph and Sonia Haikal do not properly oversee their seven Orange County facilities. After witnessing children step on my daughter, the common response from the staff was "children get hurt". In what world is it acceptable for teachers to neglect a four month old infant to the point where my family had to spend more time overseeing the staff than working? We submitted hours of video to California Licensing due to the lack of response from management and not a single response from Mr. Joseph Haikal, the owner. The facility kept my daughter in a Baby Merlin sleepsuit for hours a day. My daughter was behind on development because rather than interact with the infants, the staff kept them immobile so they wouldn't have to focus on anything but their cell phones. My daughter along with several other children were left to sleep on the floor for hours because the staff were too lazy to transfer them to a crib, also breaking state licensing laws. I tried to send the owner of a video of a toddler dragging an infant (non- mobile) by their hair like a caveman without any teacher realizing it, in fact two were on their phones in the video. I tried to let them know that there were four infants in a room without a teacher at one point, crickets. The only person that shed real light on the situation was Sonia Haikal, after I transferred my daughter to their Huntington Beach location (another review to follow). Her statement was "I can't fire teachers unless they do something really heinous", she obviously doesn't believe that child endangerment is a concern. I had to pull my daughter from this school after a month and a half. I have approximately 40 hours of recorded video showing the staff not washing hands, chewing fingernails and wiping saliva on infants, leaving infants to sleep on the floor, and basically not changing diapers more than two to three times in an eight hour day. Here are some California Licensing Reports to read before you consider this location: https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/transparencyapi/api/FacilityReports?facNum=304371225&inx=4 https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/transparencyapi/api/FacilityReports?facNum=304371225&inx=5 https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/transparencyapi/api/FacilityReports?facNum=304371225&inx=6 Bottom line, Joseph and Sonia Haikal do not care about your infant, they care about the financial bottom line.

My twin daughters started Bumblebee when they were 2.5 years old after being cared for by my mother and aunt. I was a nervous wreck, but Mrs. Tammie reassured me they both would be cared for, nurtured, and bloom with the Bumblebee family. Mrs. Tammie was not only correct, but excelled in her promise. Mrs. Tammie and all of her teachers do an amazing job making all families and children of all backgrounds feel so welcome, safe, heard, included. My daughters loved each teacher and made such close friends by the time they graduated from Bumblebee when they turned 5. Not only did they build close relationships with their friends now (who they still hang out with after moving to a new school for kinder), we also made amazing friendships with the Bumblebee parents. Both of my daughters entered kindergarten feeling confident and so prepared for kindergarten. The curriculum at Bumblebee most definitely prepared them and they now excel in reading, writing, and motor skills needed for kindergarten. Not only did they prepare them for academics, they prepared them to be independent students in daily life skills (eating/food choices, interaction with peers, being respectful, kind, helpful, and confident). Bumblebee is an amazing school and I highly recommend for anyone who is in the search for a preschool, this would be my top recommendation. Mrs. Tammie and her teachers have a true passion (and talent) and has built a strong Bumblebee community. We are truly grateful and will forever have love for this school. Thank you for the amazing experience. We can't wait to come back and visit as the girls get older!
