On Weds Sept 26, I went to pick up my daughters and none, absolutely NONE of her caretakers were…read morethere . All of their beloved teachers and preschool director were gone . Anyone at that point could have picked up my girls from school . There was no verification at pick up and no introductions- how incredibly infuriating! Noticeably , there was a very tall blonde lady lurking around who I later found out is the the founder of the campus and goes by "Dr Kim" who I wouldn't even call a doctor . Where has this lady been all these years???
The next day , I approached Kim Huynen (goes by "doctor") and told her that we, as parents, deserve the RIGHT to know what has happened to our teachers and our school, to which she spastically responds "No , I don't have to tell you anything . I can close down this school today if I wanted to." What kind of person says this ?
Other parents emailed her and/or voiced their concerns to her face-to-face. Via email , she would politely and politically respond with a blanketed statement, "happy to talk to you" copy and paste response. When she was approached in person , there was nothing but disdain for the parents . She's a natural fake , you see?
If Kim can verbalize and demonstrate that much disdain for parents , imagine the stress, anxiety , fear she is putting on her staff ever day.
My children's beloved preschool is gone. It was built up by all her wonderful teachers (Ms Christina , Ms Michelle , Ms Nansy, Ms Emily) for all those wonderful years and it's all gone. The director and teachers have been abruptly forced out along with their students .
However, I understand that Ms Christina is still there (reduced to fewer hrs) and my daughter misses her terribly . It's been over two weeks and she still references Ms Christina's sayings, sings her songs , talks about her lessons , misses all the cool conversations she had with Ms Christina.
And I can't fault Ms Christina for staying . Everyone has to do what's best for their family . But if you're looking for a great program - this is no longer IT . All that's left are preschool-aged children who's parents teach at the campus and a couple kids on scholarship ($$$$$$).
And all my family and I have left are the beloved memories of an incredible , play-based , educational program that once was. My daughter always used to come home with dirt under her nails, sand in her shoes, sticks in her hair , paint on her clothes , rocks , leaves, flowers she used to pick out and collect for me at the end of the day, and/or change of clothes . Children learn through play- that's their occupation. She was playing , learning a TON, and always having fun at Del Sol Preschool. The preschool environment was constantly changing and stimulating for children. No child was ever left behind under the care of the preschool staff. They actively worked to create a welcoming, safe environment for students of many different languages and cultures that celebrated diversity without sacrificing the program quality.
All that came to abrupt end when the corrupt Kim decided to throw her weight around and ruin the lives of children and their families for some reason unbeknownst to me . Good luck finding out why that is... she will give out various reasons (she's a good talker) but none of which to be true when they supposedly run as a non-profit AND the preschool program enrollment was as high as it was . So whatever excuse Kim gives you, it's a lie . She's got a hidden agenda or to hide something unfathomable. This Kim lady is horrible and the existing preschool / new preschool teachers have to deal with her fraud-like ways - how very sad . Unless they're part of the corruption- who even knows? I wouldn't put anything pass Kim at this point.
I've called licensing to complain and I've been informed that the preschool has been given a citation. Look at my reviews - I hate to complain. I even gave the preschool program 5 stars just last year. Of course now, they are probably doing their best to be in compliance knowing that parents have been complaining.
I'm sure there are many parents that are left with more confusion/questions than answers . So I'm going to help out those parents and hope that they see this.
Here's all you need to know and how to file a complaint:
Del Sol Preschool facility license # is 304370243.
The annonymous complaint hotline is 1-844-538-8766
The Orange County licensing office number is 714-703-2800. The analyst assigned to Del Sol is Adrian Cortez.

His mailing address 750 The City Drive Ste. #250 MS 29-10 Orange, CA 92868.
Do your research and stay away from this preschool. It's not what it once was for all the wonderful years my daughters attended this school. There was never a turnover , never a complaint until Kim decided to show up. I'll also be posting this exact review on Facebook for all the billions to see. Copy paste.
