Our family has been part of the GSP community for 6 wonderful years, and it is sooo sad for us to…read moresay goodbye. Our younger child started at GSP from six months old, and looking back, choosing GSP was definitely one of the best decisions we made. We would love to share our positive experiences and help spread the word about how special GSP truly is! It is definitely a safe and loving environment. The teacher to kid ratio is very good. Every teacher we have met here is genuinely caring and loving. The staff and front office have always been supportive, providing prompt and thoughtful responses to our requests. We will deeply miss the warm smiles we saw everywhere on campus, the birthday celebrations for kiddos at chapel, the lovely holiday gifts from the classrooms, and every page of the yearbook so thoughtfully customized for each child!

My daughter's teachers were amazing--Ms. Rebekah, Ms. Jackie, and the other TAs were so patient, caring, and dedicated. They taught her so much and genuinely cared about her growth, both academically and emotionally. It's clear that everyone at Learning Lab truly loves the children. My daughter absolutely adored her teachers and the entire staff. The owner, Danny, is also fantastic--he genuinely cares about the school and the children and it really shows in everything they do. The only reason we left was because we moved . If you're in the area and looking for a preschool where your child will learn, grow, be surrounded by Christian values, and be genuinely loved, I can't recommend Learning Lab enough.

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.

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.

Dear Ms. Ruby, Ms. Susie & Ms. Jessica -…read more I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the beautiful graduation ceremony you hosted yesterday. It was clear from every detail that an enormous amount of care, creativity, and dedication went into making it such a special occasion. As a parent, watching our children take the stage with such confidence, poise, and genuine excitement was an absolute joy. The fact that they were so well-rehearsed and yet still completely in the moment is a true testament to the incredible work your teachers and staff do every single day. The event was so thoughtfully organized, and it showed. Every moment felt intentional and meaningful, leaving all of us parents with full hearts and the biggest smiles. These are the memories our families will treasure for years to come. Please know how deeply appreciated you all are, not just for yesterday, but for everything you pour into these children throughout the year. You don't just teach them; you help them grow into kind, capable, and confident little people. Yesterday was a beautiful reflection of that. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making this milestone so truly unforgettable. With warm gratitude, Happy Mama

Our experience with Irvine Montessori School has been good. From the front desk where Ms. Ruby and…read moreMs. Suzie manage parent interactions, to classroom teachers like Ms. Ana and Ms. Angie, the commitment to the children is evident. Our child has shown progress in language and social skills, and the staff puts clear effort into milestones like graduation ceremonies and holiday events. The campus itself is clean and modern. This is definitely one of the top 10 Montessori schools in Orange County. Refine a few operational details, and they have the potential to easily break into the top 5. Areas for Improvement: Teacher rotation does cause disruption in student learning. While staffing shifts are common, the school needs to do a better job of getting ahead of these rotations and being proactive about the transitions. Furthermore, the administration should establish a structured, year-round channel for parental feedback. While daily communication from individual teachers is fine, an administrative feedback loop like bi-annual parent surveys would allow families to share insights on scheduling logistics, administrative clarity, or classroom dynamics. It remains a solid option for families in Irvine, and showing better foresight regarding teacher transitions and structured parent communication will help them reach that next level.

We…read moreenrolled our kids in their preschool childcare services and have used the program for about six months. We also paid for a few months of the Mommy & Me class. My kids love playing on their playground. They have real objects like walkie talkies, a phone-booth setup which serve as reference points to give a better grasp of history when they get to school. Ms. Megumi does a great job of maintaining the garden. There are bugs, butterflies, seeds, and plants the kids interact with, and the kids even get to eat vegetables from the garden. The school community puts real effort into family events. The Halloween Trunk-or-Treat and the Christmas Fair are fun for both kids and parents. While the cost reflects local market rates, this program is supplemental.

I'm delighted to write this detailed review of my family's time at Child's World Preschool…read more Our oldest son started at CWPS in the Summer of 2021 during the summer program and we only dipped our toes in, doing just 2 days a week on the T/TH schedule. We enrolled that fall in the 3 day a week program M,W, F. He loved the school, and loved his teachers Miss Miki and Miss Marisela. It felt very magical from the beginning, from the fantastic play yard to all the smiling faces and happy kids. We knew early on how much we enjoyed the school so we enrolled our youngest daughter into the Parent/Toddler program as soon as she was eligible at 18 months. Miss Colleen was wonderful and we faithfully did every session until our daughter was 3 and old enough for the main pre-school program. And she started her pre-school at 5 days a week right away because she was so prepared and ready for it thanks to all of her time with Miss Colleen. Our son went up to 5 days a week for his pre-kindergarten year. He had Miss Tami and Miss Miranda and our whole family loved Miss Tami so much. We started feeling that sense of teacher loyalty. So we admit we were secretly hoping Miss Miki would be our daughter's pre-school teacher too because we were so happy with her, only to find out that Miss Jaime was the perfect match! Our little one blossomed so much during her year with Miss Jaime and Miss Cherie. We finally realized ALL of the teachers are fantastic. So as she was cruising through her pre-kindergarten year last Fall with Miss Betty and Miss Lisset, our family was beginning to feel nostalgic and the distant sting of not having Child's World in our life anymore after 4 wonderful years. It has been a pleasure dealing with everyone at the school from Miss Cindy to now Miss Mai as well as Miss Kelly and Miss Donna, the administration team has been steady, professional and helpful. We also want to give a special thanks and mention to the wonderful other teachers on campus like Miss Cece, Miss Carolina, Miss Amber and Miss Megumi who also made a personal stamp on the hearts of our kids. We loved all the events for the whole family especially Family Fun Day in the Spring and the Christmas Fair and Pancake Breakfast. Both of our kids always took part in the chapel days as well and they loved it, but we never felt any pressure to participate in church events. We can truly say that our experience with Child's World has been one of the best things about our life as parents in Orange County after moving here about 6 years ago. We took so much joy knowing what a wonderful head start they were getting on school, socialization and life outside the house in general. And we are so grateful. Thank you Child's World!

Even after just a few days, our little one has adjusted so much better than we imagined. The owner and staff have been patient, caring, and supportive during the transition.

We know it's still early, but we're so grateful for the care, attention, and reassurance we've received. It's such a relief to see our child feeling comfortable, safe, and excited to go to daycare.

I'm genuinely confused how a daycare that used to have around a 3-star rating could suddenly jump…read moreto 4.5 stars in such a short period of time. Did the leadership change? During the time my child attended this school, they were getting hurt almost daily -- including scratches on the arms or face and bruises on the body. When I asked the teachers, they would apologize but often say they didn't know when or how it happened. On one occasion, when I picked up my child, she was still bleeding, and no first aid had been provided. That was extremely concerning. What concerns me even more is that although there are cameras, the teachers often take the children to areas that seem to be out of camera view, making it impossible to verify what actually happened. Given this experience, I find it hard to understand how the school is now receiving such high ratings, especially when most of the positive reviews appear to be very recent. It does make me question the authenticity of those reviews.

We'll never forget how one of our son's teachers delivered a special sign filled with messages from his classmates when he was in the hospital. Most importantly, the curriculum and teaching methods are excellent. The school utilizes the perfect amount of technology that is age-appropriate. By the time our kids left kindergarten, they were more than prepared for the first grade. The emphasis on social skills and kindness is also invaluable. Our children have always enjoyed going to school each day and seeing their teachers and classmates. In fact, they never want to leave when we pick them up, and that's always been a great sign.
