The teachers at this school are incredible and they truly care. We tried two daycares before this program and had to patiently wait our turn on the waitlist. It was clear why there was a waitlist because this program is top notch. My son thrived at shoreline and loved going to school. We will miss you all!!

When we first put our name on the waitlist, we prayed we'd be accepted. At the time, the infant…read moreprogram didn't start until 10 months old, so we enrolled my son in another daycare in Fullerton while we waited and hoped for a spot at Shoreline. Then, just two weeks before he was set to start in Fullerton, we got the call--Shoreline had a spot for him in their new extended infant program. We didn't hesitate for a second. We said YES right away! My son has been going to Shoreline since February 2024, when he was just 6 months old. As a first-time mom, leaving him in someone else's care was nerve-wracking--but the Shoreline staff made that transition so much easier. They've been nothing but kind, welcoming, and understanding. They gave me peace of mind from day one. What stood out to me the most is how even staff members who aren't in his class know his name. It really feels like a community that sees and values every child. He started in room B118 with Ms. Lety and Ms. Tina, who quickly became like his aunts away from home. They cared for him with so much love and warmth--it truly felt like family. He later moved up to room B117 with Ms. Natalie, Ms. Ceci, and Ms. Skylar, and they've been just as amazing. Now that he's in the toddler program, he loves his outdoor playtime. The playground is clean, spacious, and gives the kids a chance to explore and grow. Every afternoon when I pick him up, he proudly walks me over to the playground, as if showing me his favorite place. I honestly couldn't feel more grateful to have found Shoreline. It's more than just a preschool--it's a hidden gem in Orange County, and I'm so thankful my son gets to grow up in such a loving, nurturing environment.

A year ago, I had to withdraw my daughter from her preschool midway through the school year because…read morethe program wasn't challenging enough for her. Finding a new school at that time wasn't easy. When I first visited FVM, there were no spots available, but I was impressed by how well-organized everything was--from the classrooms to the curriculum. I even asked Ms. Sneha, the school director, if I could pay a higher tuition just to secure a place for my daughter because I wanted her to attend so badly. Fortunately, a family was about to leave, and we were able to enroll her. That turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Since then, my daughter has thrived with teaching tailored to her abilities rather than her age (she has a late birthday, so in the public school system she would still be at the preschool level). Thanks to the support of her teachers, she has excelled academically. After a year at FVM, she took the GATE exam through the school district. Not only was she able to skip a grade, and she was also accepted into the GATE program. I truly believe this wouldn't have happened if she hadn't attended FVM. I'm incredibly grateful to FVM and all the staff. Ms. Sneha is such a kind and caring person. Without her, my daughter wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn here. Ms. Neranja, one of my daughter's primary teachers, holds strong teaching principles, and whenever I speak with her, I feel confident that my daughter is in good hands. My daughter often talks about her teachers at home, especially Ms. Neranja and Ms. Erika. Although my daughter has only been at FVM for a short time, the experience has had a profoundly positive impact and laid a strong foundation for her future educational goals. I cannot thank everyone enough--I am truly grateful.

We recently wrapped up our time at Fountain Valley Montessori and our family could not be more…read moregrateful. We decided to keep our child here for an additional year instead of moving on to TK. While TK would have been a great transition, this extra year allowed our child to truly come out of their shell. There are some things worth investing in, and while I am a big supporter of public schools, FV Montessori gave my children a foundation that is absolutely priceless. Ms. Gloria is simply the best. She created a nurturing, safe environment for our child to grow, while also providing the structure and rules that are so important. This chapter has officially closed for us, but we will always be thankful to Ms. Gloria, Ms. Gurpreet, Ms. Vivian, Ms. Lindsay, Ms. Sneha, Ms. Jahaira, Ms. Remington, Ms. Madelyn, Ms. Bea, Ms. Alicia, Ms. Paula, Ms. Ana, Ms. Neranja, Ms. Enoka, and all the other incredible teachers and staff who make this school such a gem. Daycare, childcare, preschool--picking the right one can be daunting, but I highly recommend checking out Fountain Valley Montessori. You will not be disappointed.

My kids could go to a…read moredifferent Christian school in the area for free, and we have chosen CCA because I know, without a doubt, my child is receiving a Biblical education from a perspective that I value. They welcome all Evangelical Christians with the understanding that the classroom and Biblical instruction is taught from the perspective of the Westminster Standards and Reformed Confessions of Faith. In addition, the Administrators, School Board (with multiple parents serving) and Teachers really value parent involvement. My spouse and I are involved and our input is appreciated. If you are looking for a co-op-like school that you can be involved with -- CCA is for you! My child's Kindergarten teacher was very receptive to working with me. Last year my child learned to read, write (handwrite and cursive), was doing addition and subtraction. He grew tremendously in confidence and sense of self. My child also memorized multiple poems and Bible verses during the year in addition to 60+ questions and answers of the Catechism for Young Children. The staff creates an environment where all of the children, grades K-8, encourage and support one another. When my son comes to school, the other kids run up to the gate jumping up and down to welcome him. He loves school! The teachers helped to fuel my child's interests as well. All of the students presented in their Science Fair last year, including the Kinders, and my child LOVED it because he is really excited about science. The school sets aside specific days for the arts and PE and the students perform (music and drama!) each year. We are going to start our second year with CCA. We are so excited to have some new teachers this year too! Check it out :)

We tried another preschool before coming here when our daughter was 3 years old. We changed schools…read morebecause we knew our daughter well, and she was NOT happy at the prior school. I also picked her up one day and heard a teacher screaming at one of the kids to stop crying and this did not sit well with me. This school was in Lake Forest, near our residence. We came to The Wave (yes, a little bit of a drive for us) because my sister had her son there and spoke very highly of it. A simple review on Yelp will not do this place justice, my daughter is now 5 years old and headed to Kindergarten and we are sad to leave The Wave family. THE GREATEST, MOST INCREDIBLY KIND AND WARM staff. Mr. Gabe, Ms. Danielle, Ms. Sharon, Ms. Kristi, Ms. Daniella, Ms. Vanessa and all the others have treated my daughter and our family so well in our time here. Our daughter has thrived, grown academically, and has learned great social skills at The Wave. They put on the sweetest Christimas performance for families every year, they have a great outdoor playground with several support staff to safely watch the kids. My favorite thing about The Wave has been the secure and safe feeling after drop off each morning. Our daughter gets excited to go to school, runs into her teacher's arms for a big hug, and we feel good at work all day knowing that our daughter is in great hands. I would run, not walk, to put your kid's name on the waiting list. I promise, you will not regret taking your kids to The Wave!! We are forever thankful and will be back with our youngest in a few years!!

We absolutely love The Waves! I went on many school tours before deciding to send my daughter here,…read moreand I'm so glad I chose it. Miss Carey and Miss Natal are wonderful teachers--so caring, patient, and attentive. I love seeing how much my daughter is learning every day. The class sizes are great, and I love how the school looks and how everything flows. It's always very clean and well organized. The sensory activities and arts & crafts are amazing, and I really appreciate the creative activities they do every month for the kids. I also love that they consistently update parents with pictures and videos--it means so much to see what our kids are doing during the day. Most importantly, my daughter truly loves going to The Waves, and that says everything.

No Yelp pg for LQHS proper, so guess the review goes here. +…read moreGrateful for the AP classes offered here to kickstart my college career. Saved me time and $ to help pursue higher (under)graduate studies sooner and more productively. - Never realized how much the workout cage resembled a prison yard. - No pickleball courts. Qué lástima. - The literature teachers weren't good at teaching logical students how to excel in the arts. + The sciences teachers were excellent at teaching us the sciences and maths. Glad they were passionate about their fields too. - Their dance club organization was poorly executed. For every assembly performance, you were required to show up to practice 4am the day of or else you wouldn't be allowed to participate, even if you had been loyally attending all weekly practices prior. Since their 2025 remodeling, nothing's recognizable to us old alumni anymore. Fresh new grounds and buildings. Revitalized look.

Smacked her daughter so loud you could hear it with all the noise inside. I watched as the daughter was about to eat a sample only to be smacked! The daughter just looked straight ahead and took the verbal lashing her mom gave her. A teenage boy soon arrived to say only a few words only to be loudly scolded by the narcissistic mom, boy looked down in silence. I am familiar with those behaviors, looking down as it's a familiar feeling by my own mother. Neither child said a word. Why? Because they are used to being berated and if you even dare attempt to defend yourself, well be ready to be beat or unjustly accused of attitude for speaking up. Dear mom, I can only imagine who you treat your child in private if you so boldly assault your child in public. Seeing your face with that heavy eyeliner and trashy fake lashes brings back unpleasant memories of my own mother. Your behavior represents that high school simply by wearing it. DO BETTER.
