CHILDTIME OF IRVINE REVIEWS

My daughter looks forward to going to school everyday. I’m incredibly thankful for the wonderful teachers and school staffs. Unfortunately, we moved and we had to leave the school after 4 months. A big shout out to my daughter’s lead teachers in toddler class — Ms. Margaret & Ms. Mayra. They are a true gem. I am forever thankful for Childtime Irvine for making my daughter’s first school experience incredible.

Both our children attended Childtime at this location and it’s bittersweet that our family has grown up. They came in as infants and every teacher has been so wonderful, we will always hold on to the memories our children made. We’ve also made lifetime friends through their community. We love how responsive the team is, that we were able to watch our kids through video and there was always a friendly face to greet us. We felt that our children were always safe here. Ms. Inez and her team feel like they are part of our family. We will miss you all.

Our 7 month old is loving her time at ChildTime! She is happy to arrive at class, the staff is very friendly and communicative, and the app to check in on her is super user-friendly. I love the fun updates I get from her teachers through out the day along with the live stream feature! Highly recommend sending your child here.

TURTLE ROCK PRESCHOOL, INC. REVIEWS

Enrolling our kids at Turtle Rock Preschool has been one of our best parenting decisions to date. The teachers and staff are lovely. They genuinely care about kids and are so friendly. We feel confident when we drop them off that they will be looked after with love and attention everyday. The curriculum is varied with art projects, cooking projects, science experiments, outdoor play time, music class, even dance and gymnastics are available. There is also special programming for holidays, including all different religious and social backgrounds. There were dragon dancers for Lunar New Year and a presentation for Nowruz, spring egg hunt, mothers/fathers/grandparents day celebrations, a Valentine’s Day card exchange, a Halloween bash, a winter holiday concert and a family fun fair. The teachers to student ratio is small and diversity in class is a real priority. Turtle Rock Preschool is a real community. We have play dates on weekends, parent group chats and I can honestly say, the other parents are some of the kindest people around. The school keeps us updated daily with pictures, information about programming and about our childrens’ day, did they nap, eat, change diapers, etc. Turtle Rock Preschool has been worth every penny.

I have two kids enrolled at TRP. My son started in the nursery program at 19 months and quickly moved into the preschool room when he turned 2. My daughter started in preschool and will continue on to Pre K in the fall. I believe strongly in early childhood education and when I came to TRP’s open house event I immediately fell in love with the school and how it’s play based. The TRP community is amazing and supportive of each other and I love making friends with like minded parents. TRP provides a curriculum for every classroom tailored to the child’s age that makes learning enjoyable. The teachers are caring and so amazing, my kids are well taken care of and get so excited to go to school every day! We love Turtle Rock preschool.

Where can I begin about Turtle Rock Preschool. It has been one of the best investments that we have made in both our children's lives. The school feels like our home, and all the staff and teachers feel like family. Everyone learns your child's name and makes them feel so loved and special. When our children graduate and leave to elementary school, we know that we will feel a deep hole in our hearts. I am pretty sure we will never experience an institution like this again. As parents, I can say with confidence, that sending our children to this school has been one of the best decisions of our life.

CHILD'S WORLD PRESCHOOL REVIEWS

An amazing preschool. Highly recommend. Skilled, dedicated and attentive teachers, beautiful play grounds and gardens, unlimited art supplies and a wonderful, loving community. Simply put, its a magical place!.

The most magical place. The teachers are incredible, educated and dedicated. Such a great place focused on learning through play and exploration using developmentally appropriate curriculum.

Such a wonderfully magical place for children to be kids and grow and learn. So thankful my 3 kids have been able to attend CWPS.
