Schools in Orange, CA

“As first time parents, it was very hard when it came time for us to leave our daughter at daycare when we went back to work. We had been with her every day since she was born, and now we were going to leave her with strangers. We were initially drawn to Childtime of Orange by the lovely residential campus in the hills with lots of nice nature space and the fact that all the rooms were setup with webcams which would allow us to check in and see how our daughter’s day was going in real time. As new parents, this was very reassuring.What came to be much more important than this, however, was the care and attention that our daughter received from her teachers. We were so grateful to see the interest they take in each child. They were very willing to help us figure out a routine that worked for our daughter when she was having difficulty napping at daycare, and they were always monitoring her individual progress to keep us up to speed on her development. I am so impressed with and deeply appreciative for the compassion and patience that the teachers show toward the children every day. It’s a relatively small community. The director is wonderful and personally knows all the families, and most of the teachers know the names of most of the children (even those who aren’t in their class). We never worry about our daughter when she is at Childtime. We know that she is being well cared for, and we always look forward to seeing what new things she learned that day. Choosing to send our daughter to Childtime of Orange was one of the best decisions we made for our family.”

“Fantastic school to be a part of. Both my kids are going here for the past 10 years. One soon to gratuities from here after so many years. All the staff are extremely nice and card about your kid. Extra careful with COVID-19 and one if the few school where was allowed to stay open during this time. I definitely recommend HFCS to all of you.”

“I wish I know this place earlier. My daughter started at Childtime, for half a year, she did not like it at all. She refuses to go to daycare every morning. After half a year it didn’t work out. I decided to give this daycare a try. Jaime and Mrs.Rocio is so amazing. They totally changed my daughter’s point of view about going to “school”. Now she smiles when we say go to school. She really enjoys her time here. Teacher Mrs.Rocio is amazing, she is very patient, caring, and supportive. My daughter has an IEP. She needs a lot of individual attention and needs to be given small step by step instructions. Mrs.Rocio has been amazing and she tried her best to support those goals. Unfortunately our time here at Clever Endeavors is too short. I will have to transfer my daughter to the district’s daycare program. I really wish I sent her to Clever Endeavors earlier. It would have been a totally awesome experience for my daughter. Ms.Jamie and everyone here is so friendly and amazing. They always smile at you and greet you when you walk in. Further more, there are many events here to make things fun. We also love the daily report to see what they learn and what my daughter creates. I highly recommend this place.”

“We have been at The Childrens House Preschool for over 2 years now and have loved our experience here! My daughter has grown and excelled not only academically but socially as well and it has been such a joy to be apart of this school. We love Miss Jessica and Mrs Laleh and how much they care about my daughter and her learning experience. They make sure to make all the lessons enjoyable and fun for the kids which makes learning so much fun! We are planning to stay as long as we can! Thank you for such an amazing preschool experience for this first time mama!”

“We could not be more impressed!! We are so grateful to all the staff who our child absolutely loves. From drop off to pick up. Our son had flourished in their pre school program and every staff/ teacher is top notch and awesome!!!”

“One of the best schools my son has attended. Moved here from Holy Family. His academics and self-esteem increased tremendously within the fist year! The teachers have been amazing, as well as the administration and Principal. He has a sense of belonging and loves it here. They also have after school programs for working parents, and those are also very well structured. My son has been coming here for the last 3 yrs.”

“I went to Jordan back in the 90s and I loved the school I remember I was a handful but ms. Cummings and Clemmons. We're my grandmother's saving grace I now have a four year old and he is giving his school a run for the hills. I want to say I am so sorry for all the trouble I caused. But never fear it's all coming back. Keep up the good work Jordan jaguars.”

“I have nothing but praise for Adventures in Learning (AIL). My daughter attended from age 2 to 4.5. She was in every classroom and has worked with many teachers. The teachers, and Melinda, provide a safe learning environment. My daughter started August 2020, therefore I can only speak of experience after the pandemic. I must say Melinda and staff handled all of the guidelines to perfection. We were always informed of the latest regarding Covid. AIL is clean and I never felt like it wasn't. My daughter always came home happy with stories, and work, to share. AIL has an easy drop off and pick up system. It is all done through an app. With this app teachers also post photos and daily activities. I always knew what my daughter was doing that day. Communication was also very open. Melinda always responded to emails, and teachers always responded to messages from the app. My daughter always came back happy. She was safe and loved. I pulled her from AIL because I wanted her to attended the same school as sibling. She was very sad to leave her friends. She was devasted to leave the teachers she has known since age 2. I also want to add that Ms. Nora greatly helped with potty training. My daughter saw other kids with underwear and Ms. Nora assisted with encouraging her to get rid of diapers and be a big girl with underwear. I highly recommend AIL. Safety and my daughter's social emotional being were definitely met.”

“It makes my heart happy to see The Village is still operating. I went there about 1978-1979, and I have nothing but good memories of it. I specifically remember we had a Peacock that lived on the property. It was such a special place.”

“I'm surprised I'm the first to review this preschool! We absolutely love the OUSD Child Development Center. My youngest has been attending for about 5 months (he is 3). His teacher, Ms. Martina, is so caring and nurturing, he absolutely LOVES her. The entire staff there is so friendly and helpful. They have a wonderful outdoor space and well organized classrooms. All meals and snacks are included and the pricing is significantly less than other daycares/preschools in the area. They have great events like their Thanksgiving feast, holiday performance, Mother's and Father's Day celebrations, etc. I really can't say enough nice things about it. I'm so happy we moved my little guy here when he was eligible (kids have to be at least 3 and potty trained). I wish we had known about this place when my oldest was small!”

“I went to school here from 2nd to half of my 3rd grade year 1992-93 I believe. I remember only 2 kids I wish I knew today, Amy and Richard. We used to walk home together. Really wish I could have kept in touch with them.”

“Fletcher has been great for our family. The principal is responsive whenever I email or call with a concern and all of our teachers have been top notch. Our experience has been awesome and I would highly recommend Fletcher without any hesitation whatsoever.”
