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.

They are mindful of creating a schedule that works well for working parents; less school closure days than surrounding schools. Events like the kids' fall festival and Christmas program are incredibly thoughtful and go above and beyond what you'd expect from a school. Teachers and administrators clearly love kids. A standout is Ms. Rosanna, who provides frequent daily updates on the app and then a weekly recap report on my child and sometimes even gives gifts. These gestures are not only generous but also show how well she knows my child's interests and what matters to them. Very kind.

With just a year and a half left before he graduates, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the amazing teachers and administrators who have guided him along the way. My son has truly grown up a happy child who loves school, and I attribute so much of that to LePort. I'm constantly told what a wonderful young man he is, and I believe the character-building foundation at LePort Montessori has been exceptional in shaping who he is today. At LePort Spectrum North, he has had the most caring and thoughtful teachers--Ms. Jacobs, Ms. Masha, Ms. Cassandra Kolacinski, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Robin. We are thoroughly enjoying the middle school program: it blends Montessori principles with strong academics and emphasizes helping others, self-discipline, time management, and critical thinking. During alumni night, every graduate shared that they felt extremely well prepared for high school after completing LePort's middle school program. Thank you, Ms. K, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Robin, for everything you do! I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the phenomenal administrative team--Head of School Ms. Krista, Business Manager Ms. Karyn, and Admin Support Ms. Jen. You make the school run seamlessly, and I love the new subjects, events, and programs you bring to the community. Thank you--it has truly been a joy to be part of LePort.

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 was so bittersweet, as we all wished that she could stay longer (as long as possible) in Marco Polo! We didn't want to leave! We were a part of such a tight-knit, warm, supportive, and welcoming community - the teachers, fellow parents, all the students - that I truly believe that the bond forged and positive effects gleaned (both academic and non-academic) will last well into the future. We felt that the Reggio Emilia approach worked so well in helping kids of different character traits and temperaments grow according to their own pace and strengths. We loved all the teachers that have taught our daughter, as well as others we saw every single day in their various supporting roles (admin, front desk, meal times, science, subs, etc). It took a village, and boy was that village awesome. We could feel that the teachers (and everyone else) working there truly were there because they loved kids, and they loved helping kids thrive. The Preschool and Pre-K programs were particularly notable and instrumental in their roles in helping our daughter get more than ready for her kindergarten year (and beyond). Under the relatively new leadership of Ms. Kimberly, I saw notable improvements in terms of the variety of interesting new subjects, activities, and a stronger sense of direction, leadership, and community. We can't possibly thank Marco Polo enough for helping shape our daughter, for encouraging and loving her, and for supporting us throughout. Ms Amy, Ms Venus, Mr Erick, Ms Paris, Ms Fatemeh, Ms Destinee, Ms Kimberly, Ms Jing, Ms Caitlin, Mr Ruben, Ms Lisa, Ms Janet, and everyone else - you truly made Marco Polo such a wonderful journey for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

From the very beginning, Director Ms. Ying created such a warm, welcoming, and well-organized environment. She genuinely cares about every child and is always approachable, thoughtful, and supportive. A heartfelt thank you to all of the amazing teachers - Ms. Ying, Ms. Jie, Ms. Claire, Ms. Wendy, Ms. Keyla, Ms. Lan, Ms. Diana, and Ms Anna. Each of them has shown so much patience, kindness, and dedication. They not only helped our daughter learn academically but also encouraged her to become more confident, independent, and caring. It has been wonderful to watch her grow and thrive under their guidance. As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is happy, safe, and excited to go to school every day. The teachers communicate well with families, celebrate each child's progress, and truly treat the children with love and respect. We feel so fortunate to have found Little Tree Montessori. Thank you to the entire team for the care, encouragement, and unforgettable memories you've given our daughter. We will always appreciate everything you've done for our family and highly recommend Little Tree Montessori to any parents looking for a nurturing and enriching preschool experience.

As her mother, I was even worried that she might have a speech delay because she wasn't really talking yet. To my surprise, within about a month of starting school, she began speaking in short phrases. I was amazed by how quickly she learned and could recite nursery rhymes from memory. Since then, her development has been remarkable. Today, she is fluent in both Mandarin and English, can recite classical Chinese poems, and has learned over 100 Chinese characters. More importantly, she has become a confident, happy, and curious child who is excited about learning. We have been so grateful for all of her teachers over the years, including Ms. Jie, Ms. Deana, Ms. Clare, Ms. Wendy, Ms. Lily, and many others. Every teacher has been caring, patient, and supportive. My daughter has also made many wonderful friends at school, and it's been heartwarming to watch her social skills blossom. The school itself is beautiful, clean and has state-of-the-art facilities. Personally, I love their library the most--it's such a welcoming and enriching space for children. We highly recommend this school to any parents looking for a nurturing, academically strong, and supportive environment for their children.

    As a first time parent, I am so relieved and glad to have found Little Explorers Montessori. I had…read moreheard many stories from coworkers of having to get on waitlists while pregnant, high costs, etc etc and was very anxious once my maternity leave neared its end that we wouldn't be able to find a suitable place. We toured many daycares- some in-home ones and others with facilities (ChildTime, etc) but none compared to this. Our first in-home daycare before arriving at Little Explorers was truly abysmal (breast milk wasted, instructions not followed, few updates, TV on every day...), so when we toured Little Explorers and saw the peaceful environment and amazing parent experiences, we were truly so relieved. My daughter has been now at Little Explorers for just over a year and I've felt such a peace of mind having her there. The app updates and photos were so appreciated, especially when she was fussy with breast milk and transitioning to various foods. In many instances Ms. Julia was able to get my daughter to drink more milk than I could even do at home. In addition, my daughter's egg allergy was taken seriously and I am so glad the school provides NUTRITIOUS healthy food that is home cooked! She loves the birds and bunnies there, as well as socializing with the other kids. Highly recommend this place to any new and experienced parents :).

It is truly a bittersweet moment for our family knowing that he will be leaving what has become his second home, and we felt compelled to share our experience with other parents searching for a childcare program for their little ones. What Julia and Vlad provide goes beyond a daycare or early childhood education. They have created a warm, family oriented environment where my son felt loved and encouraged to grow. We are eternally grateful for the role they have played in shaping our son into the kind and curious little boy he is today. Not only is he leaps and bounds ahead in his language and math skills, but more importantly, he has developed a strong sense of integrity, empathy, and independence. Every day, we dropped him off knowing he was in the care of people who genuinely loved and cared about him and his development. I believe that that type of peace of mind is something every parent hopes to find. In fact, among all the excitement for starting kindergarten, one of the first questions he asked was "will Ms. Julia be there." The memories we built here are priceless, and Julia and Vlad will continue to be part of our lives as family friends. We wholeheartedly recommend Little Explorers to anyone looking for a place where their child will not only learn, but truly thrive.

    It's hard to express how grateful we are for everyone working at Pomegranate Schools. Our kids have…read morebeen there for a year. The school's team, Maria, Samantha, Irina, and Ivy, have created an environment that provides much more than just great academics. They have created a second home for our children where they feel loved, respected, and cared for. They wake up every morning with excitement to go to school. Since our children started attending Pomegranate, their childcare-related illnesses have subsided. We attribute that to the perfect cleanliness of the space and the much lower number of children in the group compared to other schools. Ms. Maria cooks homemade, healthy lunches for all kids every single day, and the kids love it. Our children love their teachers, Ms. Irina and Ms. Samantha, and greatly enjoy working with them. They've learned a lot very quickly and seem very excited about the learning process, which feels like play for them. The classrooms are beautiful and cozy. Children literally fall in love with the space the moment they see it. Holidays at Pomegranate are always fun for the kids, with many organized activities (e.g., Santa visiting and giving out presents). We recommend Pomegranate Schools to everyone living in the area. We wish every family and every kid the opportunity to experience a school like that.

    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.
