Schools in Fountain Valley, CA

“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Wave Preschool. I like the small class size and all staffs are nice. My kid loves to go to school and like all the activities they had done in school. Highly Recommend!!”

“I've always heard great things about PLAVAN and the entire Fountain Valley School District. All of the positive reviews are absolutely true. Plavan does have some of the finest educators in the country. The teachers here are passionate about what they do and always give it their most. I can certainly tell if teachers are burnt out by just observing them. I do not feel that vibe here at Plavan. The teachers here are smart, attentive, and genuinely care about the students and families that they work with. They are very direct and always open for communication. If you have problems they will try to work with you personally until the issues are resolved. Kudos to the Principal, Dr. Ham. He is truly an exceptional boss. He takes good care of his staff. In return, they take good care of the students. Dr. Ham is always out directing traffic in the morning. He knows the name of every student at Plavan and makes an effort to chat with all the parents. This man is very hands-on and leads by example. Shout out to Ms. Jill Summerhays who is the current district teacher of the year. I mean wow, my middle son got to be in her class for 2 years. He was taught by the best. And it shows with all the progress he has made. She has a very unique teaching style and deep understanding of my son's educational needs. She proactively communicates with us and promptly addresses any concerns that we have. Her aides, Ms. Roberta, Ms. Patsy and Ms. Jennifer are so patient and sweet. My son loves going to school. We really enjoy seeing pictures of him doing fun and creative learning activities throughout the year. From the very first day my son started school here, she was so sweet and made us feel comfortable. We felt the love and knew this was the right place for him to learn and thrive. Also shout out to Ms. Jenn Andrews. My oldest son has her this year and it has been wonderful. She would meet with us throughout the school year to discuss his progress and offer ideas and different ways we can help him improve his skills at home. She is an amazing teacher with a lot of compassion and a big heart. You can tell she really loves teaching Kindergarten and helping her students succeed. Her classroom aide, Mrs. Williams is so sweet and great with the kids. In general, Plavan has really set the bar for how a school should be. The front office staff is warm, welcoming and respectful to all the parents who come in. I feel that we get first-class treatment like at a private school. They also try to get the parents involved with the PTO as much as possible. Great job Plavan!”

“This place is awesome. I love the energy and joy that my kids get from this place. The staff from the top down are extremely receptive to feedback. Both my kids have learned so much from this program. I wish there were cameras or something similar so I would be able to see how my children interact and/or problem solve - that way, I would know how to tailor their learning. Otherwise, nothing but great things!”

“If you’re looking for a play-based preschool, don’t look any further! Hilltop is a Reggio based school and my son has benefited so much from their curriculum to grow into a confident kid. The teachers truly pay attention to every child’s needs and help each child learn at their own pace. And since it’s a co-op where parents can also work and learn aside their children, I too am learning how to communicate with my son in a healthy way.”

“Outstanding preschool, my kids loves it here. Ms. Jodie and the rest of the faculty members are very attentive and communicative to parents and students as well.”

“I absolutely have loved me and my daughter's experience here. Ever since my daughter started Pre K here she has had nothing but positive experiences- I love the Christmas performance they do during Christmas, and the entire faculty has opened their arms and hearts to us both. They always make sure the children are well taken care of and they do a marvelous job with curriculum and daily routines. My daughter has made so many wonderful friends here. I highly recommend this preschool to anyone in need!”

“My daughter is enrolled in the pre-k program at Kindercare Fountain Valley. They have helped her grow and mature so much. All the staff are absolutely amazing. They all work together and are friendly. My daughter learned so much since starting here. I recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable and supportive child care.”

“I was a bit lost after graduating HS last year when a friend recomended MTS, after going through their ultrasound program I'm not only employed, but have my own place and for the first time my future look bright!”

“I just want to say say that this school is good.My son goes here and the staff is good. The Custodian that works there looks like he is in a Gang.I saw another Man working there who takes his place and dresses very nice. I forget his name, I think it is Ron or something like that. He dresses more professional.”
