Schools in Brea, CA

“My toddlers have been going to this daycare since they were 2 years old. Now they are 4 and 3 and I plan to keep them their until they age out at kindergarten. Such a wonderful place with loving teachers. The school is not too small not too big, just the right size so you know all the teachers and fantastic teacher to student ratio. I also love their curriculum and extra activities. My kids love going to CC's, thank you all the staff members for everything you do. Wonderful place for this community.”

“Highly recommended! My foster son attended Future Minds for about 1.5 years while he lived with me. Ms. Sashi, the director, is always available for questions or concerns and is a pleasure to work with. My FS had a special relationship with several teachers and I knew he was loved and well cared for when he was there. He learned a lot during his time there and was even moved up to the next level class early on when it was clear to them that he was ready for more challenging material with a bit older group of kids. I’m sad that I don’t get to see the team now that my little has moved back home, but I plan to return with any future children in my care.”

“I would give this school infinite stars if I could. This is a hidden gem of Montessori's or any preschool/kindergarten. We love this school. I wish we could continue with them forever; by that, I mean all elementary years. Ms. Tess is phenomenal. She's the best teacher and human being we have ever met. My children love her and look forward to attending school during the week. Learning is fun and creative. It's incredible how much they learn at this Montessori.”

“Our kids have been attending Refinery since 2021 and the entire family couldn't be happier. I love how all the staff care for our kids like family. Our kids didn't have the easiest transition into daycare and the staff continue to amaze us with how kind and nurturing they are. The school is always clean and well-equipped, and it always feels welcoming and safe. Our kids share and show that they feel secure and happy there. The classes have well planned activities, educational play, arts and crafts, and outdoor time. I particular like that they allow walks/field trips so the kids get to see the real world in a safe setting. Communication with the daycare staff has been great with daily updates, regular newsletters. We love Refinery!”

“We started my 1 yr old daughter about a month ago and she seems really happy. She doesn’t cry at drop off or pick up anymore, and she loves the outdoor play time and the activities. I love how we can spy on her and get constant updates by her caretakers. The staff is attentive and really helped with the transition. Compared to the other childcare facilities we toured, the staff and the kids both seem happy to be there. We commute 30/45 minutes each way because we were so impressed with the facility and the staff.”
