My son had a shadow in TK. He has a mild autism diagnosis. His shadow worked on social skills goals…read morewith him. He didn't (still doesn't) have any sort of behavioral problems. Honestly if you didn't know him and you observed the class you probably wouldn't notice anything. He really just needed some help with making friends and building language skills. One day his shadow was out sick and the director at the Ladera Ranch location said he could not come to school when his shadow was out. A shadow that we provided and bc of his diagnosis our insurance funded. She wasn't flexible at all. He couldn't come make up the time he missed on other days. I was even willing to drop him off and sit in the parking lot just in case they wanted me to pick him up early (would not have been needed) and she wouldn't allow that. I paid for so many days in which the director wouldn't let him attend. In addition, other kids in the class aggressed towards him. I have "ouch reports" in his file at home. He never once retaliated or aggressed towards others. He's literally the sweetest. Very disappointing. He's currently thriving in mainstream kindergarten.

I cannot say enough great things about OC Toddler's School, Ladera Ranch! Both of my sons attended…read morethe school, simultaneously (the younger in the toddler group, and the older in the preschool group), so I can attest to consistency and great care across the entire school. The school provides three meals a day, with quality and organic foods, which is a huge help for working parents. In addition, the school ensures that both groups' activities are engaging and developmental for the appropriate age. The school director, Maria, is very dedicated and caring; she not only runs multiple schools but oversees the teachers and works with the kids through an individual approach, knowing their unique talents and strengths. Most importantly, the school takes its time to ensure that the personnel and staff are qualified and truly care about the kids. Moreover, Alla who owns the daycare, listens to parent's concerns and takes action! This was the most important aspect to me, and sets OC toddlers apart from other daycares. We will truly miss this wonderful school, the caring teachers and amazing management!

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!

Every teacher she encounters brings warmth, creativity, and an incredible level of care--we always feel like she's not just looked after, but truly loved. When Zoë sees her teacher in the morning she lites up and smiles. As parents, the peace of mind we get knowing she's in a nurturing, stimulating, and safe environment is priceless. The communication, thoughtful curriculum, and strong community have made us feel supported every step of the way. We're so grateful to have found a place that pours so much love and intention into our daughter's development. Goddard isn't just a school--it's a second home, and a partner in shaping Zoë's bright future.

From our tour, I knew as I walked in, that it would be a home-like and welcoming experience! And that is for sure what it has been! Our son has really loved getting to experience everything that Ginger does with the kids. This place has become more than a day care and really has helped my son and me as a working mommy! The kids get to do so much too! Daycare activities include anything from outside play to watching caterpillars grow and change, to playing inside, helping out on laundry day, eating healthy meals, and even working to develop great friendships and manners! They also feed the birds! And in the spring they are grew little plants in the window sill! Our son is now 8 and we still look back on our time with Ginger fondly! And better yet, we still call the kids and their families friends!

KinderCare in Ladera Ranch has been absolutely amazing. My daughter started there around age 2.5…read moreand will be concluding her time there next month when she starts Kindergarten. This school is NAEYC accredited. There is a full curriculum from toddlers to pre-K to school-aged kids. But above and beyond that, the teachers are wonderful and the experience is so great. They potty trained my daughter when she was two. The app is amazing.. they post photos and videos throughout the day, you can see what they ate, what they are working on, and more! They have cared for my daughter and supported her and made learning fun! Also, their summer program is AWESOME!! If I had another child, I would bring them to KinderCare in a heartbeat. Hands down, the best experience ever.

They provide the parents with a monthly calendar of their curriculum and fun events that they will be doing. It's always a great feeling for your child to be so excited to return to school each day. Love the teachers and the directors. Couldn't be happier and if you are on a waiting list, it's worth the wait!
