We found Pacific at exactly the right time. I was very nervous about my daughter starting school…read morebecause she had always been with my mom (Grandma) while I was at work. We had tried one school-like experience for a brief two weeks that did not go well and had a pretty big impact on her, so I went into our tour at Pacific open-minded but definitely not optimistic. That completely changed after meeting the Director, Miss Dina. I left the tour feeling like my daughter would be in excellent hands and, more importantly, that she would be supported and guided in the areas where she needed it most. Fast forward more than a year, and she has completed preschool and is now in Early Kindergarten. I am so grateful for the staff at Pacific and the experience she has had here. I can go to work every day knowing my daughter is safe, loved, and being given the space to grow at her own pace. I especially have to recognize Miss Sapna. She helped my daughter work through her school anxiety, make friends, find her confidence, and truly learn to love school. Seeing that change in her has meant so much to our family. We are looking forward to having our son start in January too!

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 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.

She is so social, so smart, and just so happy to be there! Honestly we can't get over the things they do each day. The kids have so many fun things they get to do and learn. 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!

My son LOVES them like family. They took incredible care of him, taught him so much, and truly helped me raise him. I cannot recommend them enough--having them in our lives was one of the best things to ever happen to my little family. The only reason we left was because it was time for him to move on to preschool, and honestly, I wish he could have stayed with them forever. If you're looking for someone to love, teach, and nurture your child as if they were their own, Mama Pari is the one. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

We are so grateful for the foundation they gave him it has set him up with confidence and curiosity as he moves on to preschool. If you are looking for a daycare where your child will be cared for, encouraged, and celebrated, I highly recommend Ladera Ranch Daycare.

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!

Most of the staff has been there for many years. The teacher who taught my now 15-year old niece is still teaching. It says a lot about the positive and stable environment for both the students and staff. The director, Jynette and other staff stand outside each morning greeting families. All the teachers know students by name. 2. They do a great job of building a foundation for future academic success. All three of my kids went there. My oldest who is now 8 and middle child who is now 7 both entered the public school (after attending Kinder) more prepared than most other students. The TK teacher, Mrs. Roma is absolutely incredible. Your child will grow leaps and bounds in one year with her. My three year old currently goes there and has Mrs. Navarro who she adores. 3. The playground is huge and they do a great job of indoor/outdoor time. There are also additional classes that can be added including dance class, sports class, karate, etc providing a well-rounded education that goes beyond academics. They also attend chapel each week where they learn new bibe verses, sing and dance! 4. They do a great job of keeping things clean! Hand washing before and after meals, sanitizing tables, etc. I could not recommend this school more. We have always hoped they could extend to support grades past Kindergarten bc it is always so sad to leave such a great school!!

What we really love about the school is how it's outside play learning which works so well for my son. He enjoys outside time and it's so great that they do this for a good amount of time. I also love how they communicate via sending photos and videos through an app which makes it nice to see what my son is doing each day at school. It's a great school, and has been a good fit for our family.
