A Wonderful School with an Exceptional Community!…read more Our family has had a wonderful experience at The Pegasus School! From the very beginning, we've felt welcomed into a warm, supportive, and genuinely engaged community. What has impressed us most is the quality of the families, teachers, and overall school environment. The parents are accomplished, thoughtful, and actively involved in their children's education, creating a truly special sense of community. The teachers are dedicated, caring, and attentive to each child's individual growth. We appreciate that Pegasus places a strong emphasis not only on academics, but also on character development, independence, confidence, and social-emotional learning. We've also been impressed by the variety of enriching experiences and opportunities available to students, encouraging them to explore their interests, develop new skills, and grow beyond the classroom. Most importantly, our daughter is happy, engaged, and excited about learning. We feel fortunate to be part of the Pegasus community and look forward to many wonderful years ahead. Highly recommend Pegasus to families seeking an exceptional, well-rounded education!

This is not a good school when it comes to assessment tests ( Which not simply testing whether your kids can communicate back and forth or not) for a kindergarten level. I feel like I got scam, they should have made a video to talk about the assessment tests, warnings for the parents to consider. I don't think the kids will be happy learning anything here. This place is all about money and intense competitions. The era of AI will eliminate these corrupted educations, absolutely bring no values to the kids. Parents nowadays are too busy and think paying a lot means good results.

When our family joined Harbor Day School four years ago, we hoped for a strong academic foundation…read morefor our children, but what we found has been so much more. Harbor Day has become an extension of our family, a place where our three children are not only challenged intellectually but also supported emotionally and socially in every way. The teachers here are extraordinary. They know each child deeply - their strengths, quirks, and potential, and they truly want every student to become their best self. What stands out most is how intentionally the school focuses on the whole child. Academic rigor is balanced with lessons in kindness, citizenship, and community. My sons have learned to think critically and act compassionately, skills that matter far beyond the classroom and that we see demonstrated when we travel and encounter different societies and cultures. The breadth of experiences offered continues to impress me. From science and technology to wood shop, Spanish/Latin/Mandarin, art, and beyond, the curriculum encourages curiosity and hands-on exploration. Every day, my children come home excited to share something new they've discovered or built. As a parent, I've also found a meaningful sense of belonging through volunteer opportunities and parent enrichment programs. Although we don't live in the immediate neighborhood, I've found that volunteering and participating in parent enrichment opportunities have made me feel deeply connected to the school. The families and faculty are warm, welcoming, and united by a shared commitment to helping children thrive both academically and personally. We are so happy with our decision to have our children at Harbor Day School. It's a place where children are seen, valued, and inspired, and where families feel truly at home.

I often get the opportunity to share…read moreabout the school my kids attend, by way of conversations on a park playground or at church, and I often think about writing a review on Yelp, but have just been too busy, parenting our 3 kiddos. Today, I decided I would make time. If you are searching for a great school in the OC area for your child to attend, I would whole heartedly recommend MCA and the Calvary Chapel Schools family. All 3 of my kids started at this school in the Preschool (Calvary Chapel Preschool) program, which is fabulous. CCPS has low class sizes, nurturing and supportive teachers, and a perfect balance of academic and play based learning, from gardening, pe/creative movement, to formal academic concepts, with an emphasis in Biblical principals and moving toward readiness for the next grades level to come. 2 of my kids are now in the lower elementary school at MCA (one is still in preschool). Both children transitioned into Kindergarten and beyond seamlessly. All of the schools, whether preschool, middle school, or high school, really try to collaborate to do what they can to ensure students are equipped for the challenges that come in each grade level. MCA uses a blend of Christian Curricula to give balanced, cohesive instruction that meets state standards but also builds on a Biblical worldview. I have now experienced a variety of teachers and have been very impressed with the sense of caring and family I have gotten with each one. I have enjoyed seeing the school hire talented individuals and support them as they instruct my kids, using their gifts and personalities to make our classroom experiences special and dynamic in unique ways. Open communication and emails are always welcome, as I am told, as a parent, I am a partner in educating my kids. Never once did I feel like I was bothering a teacher regarding any issue that might arise throughout the school years. The school has a variety of great events throughout the year, whether it be Veteran's Day, Christmas Programs, Grandaparent's Day, End of the Year Picnic, and so many more. They really try to cultivate a sense of community. My favorite event is Open House, which is usually done in February or March. This is a great event for prospective families to attend to feel the real pulse on our campus and to ask questions about any thoughts you might have about this school. The rooms are displayed with students work to demonstrate and celebrate the learning that takes place. There are snacks, performances, and fun events through the night. Definitely call the school and ask what the Open House date is for this year, so you can get a sense of what a blessing this place is. Words don't do it justice. We love the Calvary Chapel Schools/Maranatha Christian Academy family!

We are not members of Calvary Chapel church, nor do we have any family that is a part of the staff. We are a brand new family that researched and visited numerous schools before deciding on enrolling our son here. The preschool program is amazing and we are so happy with their Elementary program. In kindergarten my son is reading, attending a steam class once a week, and spanish class as well. Bible and prayer are incorporated daily. Though all of this is important, what stands out to me the most is the LOVE teachers and school staff show their students. I can't list how many times I have personally seen teachers just POUR love into their students. When they tell you they are praying over them, they mean it! Communication between teachers is the best. If we have a concern they address it right away. The superintendent also emails updates that are happening throughout all grade levels, giving you glimpse of what to look forward too in the future. The school holds a large fundraiser which is the jog-a-thon, and gives us exact details as to what the funds will be going too. Last year the jog-a-thon raised enough funds for a brand new playground for the older elementary students. This year the jog-a-thon funds will be applied to a brand new Kindergarten playground which I'm so excited to see. The biggest blessing of all, is the relationships we are forming with other families!

Grace Harbor has been such a blessing for our family. It has truly been the best place for our son…read more He is always excited to go to daycare and absolutely adores his teachers. The teachers are incredibly caring and intentional--spending meaningful time with him as he learns, explores, and discovers new things each day. We also love that Grace Harbor incorporates Bible-based lessons and sends home the cutest artwork that we treasure. Knowing our child is loved, supported, and growing in such a positive environment gives us complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Grace Harbor to any parent looking for a nurturing and faith-centered daycare for their baby.

We have seen changes with leadership, communication, policies, teachers, and general day-to-day flow. There are great teachers who you know truly care, love, nurture, protect, advocate, and educate a child about Christ's love! Even if you're not a believer, the teacher's actions will radiate Him. Childcare is neither easy nor cheap. Shepherding a child, no matter what age, takes a person's time, mind, hand, and resources. A parent should truly make a sound decision, with that as a backdrop, prior to enrolling anywhere. Please do your due diligence and explore other schools to find the right fit for you and your family. I pray for Grace Harbor to excel and serve the community even if drastic changes need to be made. With love + God bless y'all, Albert

In the daycare, they diligently log everything via an app and send photos of the baby playing happily. They have music development and lots of educational Montessori toys. The women working there are so happy and kind, and clearly care a lot about all of the children. They have great ratios of caregivers to babies and whenever we do drop off, it's clear the babies all feel safe and are (reasonably) calm. They are baby magicians - our son slept better at school than at home for naps! They have been great about letting us know about any issues (rashes, bumps) and have been incredibly kind about his food allergies. They have been very diligent to protect our son and were amazingly inclusive for the class party to make sure he would be safe. We know our baby is in amazing hands! Our preschool age son also has a lot of fun at school. They have been very patient with him as our potty-trained child suddenly refused to go to the bathroom. Ms. Ramirez spends one-on-one time with each child to ensure they are learning. It's great to see the Montessori techniques in action as they work on math and shapes! The admin is highly communicative and also kind and very creative. Mrs. Teel regularly hosts fun seasonal events for the kids which they all enjoy. It's a lot to manage a daycare and a school, and she makes it look effortless. It's amazing to me what a wonderful community she's built and our family is so grateful to be a part of it.

As a mother, entrusting your infant to a daycare is one of the hardest things you do. You tell…read moreyourself they'll be safe. I wish that had been true for us. We enrolled our 10-month-old daughter here, and within two months she came home with a fractured arm. The school said nothing when we picked her up -- just a vague mention of her being fussy. It wasn't until our pediatrician took X-rays that we learned the truth. What broke my heart wasn't just the injury -- it was her first birthday spent in a cast. As her mother, I will never forget that. When we asked for answers, there was no security footage to review because the cameras had apparently been removed months earlier. No accountability. No transparency. Nothing. Four years later I still think about it. I hope this school has since made real changes -- better vetted teachers, cameras restored, and proper incident reporting. Every child deserves that. Every mother deserves to feel her baby is truly safe. I'm posting this because I'd want another mom to warn me.
