I can't express enough how delighted I am with our experience at Saddleback Children's Center. Sending my son to this preschool has truly been a heartwarming journey, and the exceptional teachers at this wonderful establishment deserve all the praise.
From the moment we stepped into the bright and inviting classrooms, it was evident that the teachers at Saddleback Children's Center are passionate about what they do. Their genuine enthusiasm for fostering a positive and nurturing learning environment is truly commendable. My son, who attended the preschool from ages 4 to 5, thrived under their care.
The teachers at Saddleback Children's Center go above and beyond to create a stimulating and supportive atmosphere for the children. They are not just educators; they are mentors, friends, and role models. My son developed not only academically but also socially, thanks to the thoughtful guidance of his teachers.
What impressed me the most was the individualized attention each child received. The teachers took the time to understand my son's unique strengths and challenges, tailoring their approach to ensure his optimal growth. Their dedication to creating personalized learning experiences truly sets Saddleback Children's Center apart.
Communication between the teachers and parents was excellent. Regular updates on my son's progress, coupled with open lines of communication, made me feel involved in his learning journey. The teachers were always available to discuss any concerns or celebrate achievements, fostering a collaborative and supportive partnership.
Beyond academics, the teachers at Saddleback Children's Center instill important values and encourage a love for learning. They utilize creative and engaging teaching methods, ensuring that each day is filled with excitement and curiosity. My son's eagerness to attend preschool each morning is a testament to the positive impact these teachers have had on his early education.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Saddleback Children's Center to any parent seeking a preschool that prioritizes not only academic development but also the overall well-being and happiness of their child. The teachers here are exceptional, and their commitment to creating a positive and enriching environment has left an indelible mark on our family. Thank you, Saddleback Children's Center, for a truly unforgettable preschool experience!

We absolutely adore this school. Our child has attended for two years now, both the preschool and after school care. The teachers, staff, and administrators are all caring, kind, knowledgeable, and supportive for each child’s needs. The kids are free to be kids, going on lots of outdoor adventures, playing, exploring, and even enjoying on campus pets! I love when it rains and we get an email reminding us to bring raincoats and rain boots so the kids can play in puddles. It’s equal parts play and academic; everything you’re looking for in this age group.

SCC has been a great, safe space for both of my children. The staff are friendly, accessible, and great with the kids. Our favorite part has always been how much outdoor time they get. Our kids have always loved going to school there!

I had 3 kids go to this school for 7 consecutive years and we absolutely loved it! The teachers are all so loving, and they do an amazing job at teaching their young students to socialize, follow rules, and develop skills at their academic level. They use a variety of different teaching approaches, including teacher instruction, circle time, one-on-one time with the teacher & student, sensory play, and so on. I love that this school is faith-based and they teach about the Bible, pray before meals, have weekly Chapel, and the students learn scriptures. They are an accredited Outdoor Classroom learning center, and the students have access to a multitude of outdoor educational tools and activities so that they learn while they play! They have chickens and bunnies, class parties & school-wide events for the big holidays (Easter, Fall/Harvest, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Independence Day), and they have a little concert that the kids sing in right before Christmas every year. We were so sad to have our last child graduate from this school because it was such a big part of our lives - a tight knit community that was hard to part with. All of our kids were Kindergarten-ready when they left SCC, and their new teachers were impressed with their writing abilities and how quickly they adapted to their new school. I highly recommend SCC for all preschool-aged children!!

We are sad our time at SCC has come to an end! Our family has had a wonderful experience with this preschool over the last two years as our son was enrolled in the Jumpstart class and then their Pre-K class.The teachers we had were both very invested in what was best for our child. They recognized his special traits and encouraged him to be himself while also teaching boundaries and social skills.Meagan and Kristin, the director and asst. director, went above and beyond for our child. Genuinely good people and they care about getting to know your child just as much as the teachers do.Your child will come home dirty! They spend a great deal of time outside daily. Basically, their belief is anything that can be done inside the classroom can also be done outside. My son really thrived in this type of environment.There's a bunny enclosure in the courtyard that we loved to visit on our way into or out of the school. There are also chickens just bopping around in the yard (the kids got to bring eggs home from them!) and in the spring, a big highlight for the kids is an incubator they can check daily for hatching baby chicks! Some other highlights for my son were weekly visits to Chapel, baking with his class, walking field trips to O'Neill Park, pajama/pancake day, pony rides/petting zoo visits in the spring, Harvest Festival in October, and lots of class parties/holiday celebrations.We will never forget our son's incredible first school experience here and plan to send his little sister here when she is old enough!

We love everything about Saddleback Children's Center! Both of my daughters have gone here for their Jumpstart Preschool program. It has been such a great first preschool experience for both of them! The teachers and staff truly love their jobs and the kids they teach-they are so supportive, genuine, kind and engaged. My girls have loved the large outdoor playground and all the different play areas with so much to choose from. It is truly a unique place. We will really miss it, as my youngest daughter moves on to another school in the fall. A special thanks to Ms. Melissa, my daughter's teacher, Ms. Kristin, Assistant Director and Teacher, and Ms. Meghan, the SCC's Director. We will miss you all and thank you for making Selah's first year of preschool so memorable and special! SCC will always have a special place in my heart! Highly recommend if you are searching for a morning preschool, 8 hour, or full-time preschool program for your child or children!

This is the absolute BEST preschool! We are so incredibly happy and feel so fortunate that our son was able to experience 2 years of joy and learning and this incredible school. We even sent both kids to their amazing summer program too. We had the best experiences with the best teachers who were so kind and patient and caring with my son. He learned so much more than we anticipated and we just cannot say enough great things about the school itself and the wonderful staff.

Saddleback Children's Center has an amazing staff that helped my children grow academically and balanced it with programs in art, music and nature. The staff is caring and nurturing, which my children needed. The true sign of a good preschool is when your children can't wait to go in the morning, which as a parent I am grateful for.
