I was very happy with this school and the teachers. My child learned a lot and I used to tell…read moreeveryone how happy I was with them. However, they need to change how they watch over kids on the playground. I would get there early and sit in the parking lot while my baby slept and I noticed the teachers would gather around and chat during leisure. It caused me some pause, but I brushed it off. I understand the want to socialize. I saw, on multiple occasions, kids fighting or pushing on the playground and the teachers didn't notice, but since my kid wasn't involved; I kept to myself. Later that year my kid was grabbed inappropriately and we sent Marci an email to discuss. We set up a meeting and they assured me nothing like this would happen again and that they would keep a closer eye on them and follow up with his parents. I just found out that it did happen again. It was worse this time. My husband also wrote a review about this and the director clicked it as funny. That's ridiculous and completely insensitive. I have attached a picture of our first email so you can see for yourself that what we are saying is true and that she did know about it. I'm disgusted she would try to cover this up. I regret not coming forward about the lack of playground supervision earlier. Hopefully, this changes things and no other kid will go through something like this. As far as the report goes, you're right, we didn't file one because we thought it was being handled. We will be filing a report. Side note: The classroom size was also 20 kids, though not every day was that many; I know because I invited every kid in her class to her birthday and that's how many invitations I had to write

We have had our 20 month old daughter at this daycare for a few months now, and couldn't be happier…read morewith the experience so far. From day one, the staff have been incredibly kind and attentive. The facility is always clean and well organized which gives us peace of mind. One of my favorite things is they send daily photo updates of our daughter. It's a thoughtful touch that helps us feel connected to her day, even when we're at work. She seems happy here and it's amazing to watch her grow more socializing and learning with other children each week. I recommend this daycare to other parents looking for a safe, supportive, learning type environment for your little one.

This is a wonderful preschool. My son looked forward to going to school everyday that he went here…read more He was very sad to leave to go to a new school for Kindergarten. Now I'm taking my daughter here and she loves her mommy and me class. She wakes up everyday wanting to go to school even though the class for her age is only one day a week. Also, one of the teachers here, her name is Mrs Bennett, is an angel of a teacher. Even after my son left to go to kindergarten, she got in touch with me to ask how his first day went on the first day of school! She cares about the kids and is so kind. She sets the bar for what a good teacher is and I'm so happy my daughter will get to eventually have her as her teacher too!! I would definitely recommend this preschool!

My son has been attending Edgewood Preprimary Academy for almost a year, and he is always so happy…read moreevery day! His teacher, Mrs. Barajas, is incredibly patient and energetic. My son loves her very much. Even though English is not his first language, she always finds great ways to communicate with him and has helped him tremendously in learning English. The Director, Mrs. Mauro, is very responsible and caring. She knows every single child well and takes time with parents to discuss each child's growth and needs. With the cooperation between the school and parents, children truly get the best support to grow. Edgewood also offers a variety of fun activities and even field trips, which both we and our child really enjoy. Before choosing Edgewood, I toured many daycares and preschools in Irvine and Tustin. What impressed me the most about Edgewood is the amazing student-teacher ratio. Their teachers are always energetic, passionate, and have been working here for many years -- the turnover rate is very low. If you are looking for a school with small class sizes where teachers can give more attention to each child and really get to know them, Edgewood is the best choice. The teachers here truly love every child. And beyond all that, the school offers excellent value for the quality of education provided in this area -- something that makes us appreciate our choice even more.

My 3-year-old son attends Edgewood Preprimary Academy, and I couldn't be happier with this school…read more All of the teachers here truly love children and show so much patience and care. I want to especially highlight Mrs. Mauro, the Director, and Mrs. Barajas, my son's classroom teacher. Mrs. Mauro is a very responsible and attentive leader. She knows every child well and communicates with parents in a smooth and timely way. Whenever there's a question or concern, she addresses it right away, which gives me so much peace of mind. Mrs. Barajas is incredibly gentle and patient. My son is quite energetic and not the easiest little one to guide, but she always takes the time to teach him with kindness and understanding. I'm truly grateful for her dedication. As a parent, it makes me feel very fortunate to have such supportive and caring educators helping me on the journey of raising my child. Edgewood is truly a wonderful place for young children to learn and grow.

Our son attended Newport Ave Preschool for two years (from age 3 to 5) and we have nothing but…read morewonderful memories of his time there. We wanted him to take his next steps with learning and experience things beyond what we could offer him at home. He got exactly that and then some. His teachers did a fantastic job getting him through the Pre-K and TK curricula; we still have a lot of his old school work showing how much he had learned and how much practice he had gotten. He would frequently speak fondly of his last teacher, Ms. Jackie, as well as the friends he played with at school. There was a classmate he would refer to as "Melon" that we think was his best friend and we thought it was so cute. We'd like to give our thanks to all of his teachers - Ms. Jackie, Ms. Emily, Ms. Nikki, and Ms. Bella! He really enjoyed the variety of extra curricular activities offered at Newport Ave, like dance, music, soccer (his favorite), arts and crafts, and taekwondo (his other favorite). As parents, some of our favorite things include the winter holiday performances, the picture updates on Remind showing what everyone is up to throughout the day, and the final letters from all the teachers he had connected with over the years. Ms. Mayra was a pleasure to talk to when dropping him off in the morning, as were the other teachers when picking him up at the gate. Communication over the Remind app is super simple and responses tend to be very quick. Since starting kindergarten, Nate has become a top performer in his class, and we believe Newport Ave Preschool deserves a great deal of the credit for that. We're so grateful for everything this school gave him.

At the time she just turned 2 and has gone through few changes in care giver given both my wife and i had to work. We met Mr. Mudan and easily felt his passion for running the school, and love of children. We also loved the environment and what he and the team of teachers have created for the kids. The teachers are on the strict side, but this is exactly what I want my kid to grown and learn about discipline. Several other schools that we visited, kids were running around like nuts, although it looked fun, but I can't imagine having my own kid not knowing when to sit, when to study, when to eat. I do not tolerate the home to be run like the zoo. Each parent should visit and make your own decisions on style of teaching, children's behaviors..etc. Mudan and his team showed me the great care and true love of children, and not just 'doing a job'. Baby is 3 years old now, and has been going to the school for over a year. We love the school, and so does she.

We also love that Grace Harbor incorporates Bible-based lessons and sends home the cutest artwork that we treasure. Knowing our child is loved, supported, and growing in such a positive environment gives us complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Grace Harbor to any parent looking for a nurturing and faith-centered daycare for their baby.

At Grace Harbor, our daughter went for a little over 2 years and son for 6 months. This review…read morecomes after careful consideration with respect the school and church. We have seen changes with leadership, communication, policies, teachers, and general day-to-day flow. There are great teachers who you know truly care, love, nurture, protect, advocate, and educate a child about Christ's love! Even if you're not a believer, the teacher's actions will radiate Him. Childcare is neither easy nor cheap. Shepherding a child, no matter what age, takes a person's time, mind, hand, and resources. A parent should truly make a sound decision, with that as a backdrop, prior to enrolling anywhere. Please do your due diligence and explore other schools to find the right fit for you and your family. I pray for Grace Harbor to excel and serve the community even if drastic changes need to be made. With love + God bless y'all, Albert

We've been at Fairmont North Tustin campus for 3 years. I thought it had a health office and health…read morestaff (I'm not even asking for an RN, just a health staff member), just like other schools. All Irvine public schools have health rooms and health staff on campus. Stupid me -- I assumed that at the very least this so-called private school would have such a fundamental facility and staff. But no. Today I found out there's no health office and no sick room where a child can at least lie down for a while until a parent arrives. I'm in shock. What kind of risky, scammy school have I put my child into for the past 3 years? This campus just spent a lot of money on expansion and also raised tuition fees. It's ridiculous to find out that behind all those price increases and fancy upgrades, no one seems to care about students' health -- and none of that money appears to have gone toward improving health support for the kids. No health office. Not even one health staff member. Not even a sick room for students to rest. -- In response to your reply: Thank you for reminding me -- although your non-medical staff determined (since there is no health clerk or school nurse on campus) that "it's better to remain in an upright position in a chair, while ensuring attentive care and comfort," when I arrived, my pale six-year-old child was kneeling on the ground, coloring on a piece of paper and using a wooden bench next to the reception desk as a flat surface. There is no health clerk. The temporary reception teacher was busy with her own duties. I did not see any "assured attentive care and comfort." Instead, I observed teachers who appeared reluctant to be involved, likely because without a designated health staff member, temporarily caring for a sick child simply adds to their already full workload. Where is the "bed" or the "attentive care and comfort" you mentioned? All I saw was a small, cold wooden bench near the reception area, with people walking around. Considering the level of tuition families pay, our children deserve more than this. Three different staff members confirmed to me yesterday that there is no bed available for a sick student. Therefore, the only way I was able to learn that such an option supposedly exists was through a Yelp review. Reality is reality. Parents, please do your research before sending your child to a so-called private school: * Is there a health room or a designated sick resting area -- like those available in Orange County public schools? * Is there a school health clerk available on campus -- as in Orange County public schools? * Do teachers even know whether the so-called "bed for sick students" actually exists? Despite the amount of money families invest in a private school that lacks even fundamental health support, it is worth considering whether the absence of a basic health office or a health clerk could place students at greater risk in certain situations.

WHAT WE LOVE: - The teachers have been here for years and have their process down and work with all the kids so well. The kids love all of them! - Competitively priced AND they provide you with 1/2 of the weekly tuition if you're going to be out for the whole week! - They provide breakfast, snack, lunch and afternoon snack! Most kids still pack a few extra snacks, but saves me time, stress and money! You can also bring your own lunch if your kid wants something specific...they post the menu every week. - They open early AND close later than most preschools that I found! This was much needed for me and my husbands work schedule - They have a great outdoor play area for the kids! - My son brings home so many projects he works on and has been learning so much academically as well! - As working parents we don't have a lot of time to do extras...they require very minimal assistance from us! For holiday parties, we can easily sign up to bring things...but no after-school events/performances/spirit weeks where we need to dress up the kids everyday! For us, that works best for our situation and we appreciate it :)
