Schools near Midway City, CA

“Le Port Huntington Harbor has been nothing short of amazing. My son is in the Spanish Immersion program and he loves it! His first teacher, Mrs. Jaramillo is amazingggg! I enjoy still seeing her around campus and at events. His current teacher, Mrs. Nava is fantastic!!! She puts a lot of care into teaching and has patience like you would not believe. The school puts on great events for the kiddos and families. We are very grateful for this school. :)”

“I followed and observed Seashore academy for a few years before it relocated to the Newport/Irvine location. That is when I took the leap and sign up my boys for CAMP and then to elective day on Fridays (my eldest had 1 camp at Temple beth). My boys loved and literally requested to be dropped off at Seashore again (we mostly Homeschool after leaving full time Montessori/ ENC and Christian schools). The kinder class was patient and efficient with my younger child. They were accommodating and helped him thrive. We having partnered with Seashore for long, but after vast education on schools and alike, I am comfortable to recommend seashore as an education center to the academics and overall being of children. Mann family.”

“My daughter has been at CEEP for a few months now. Like most parents, I was very nervous about putting her in childcare. That feeling quickly diminished when I saw how much my daughter enjoyed attending. Not only are the teachers great, nurturing, and caring, but they provide parent feedback and encourage parent involvement with various activities for the holidays. They use an app called Brightwheel and they sent any communications and videos through the app, making it very easy to keep up to date and in contact. My husband and I are already planning on putting our baby in CEEP once she turns two. I’m really grateful to have found a preschool that provides structure while seamlessly providing a safe and happy environment while we work.”

“Pierside is the best preschool around town! I am now on my third child who is attending there, and I have an 11 year old and a 9 year old who already attended. The staff still remembered us 6 years later! That speaks to the great staff retention and experience here. Very happy now with the experience as well. They are the sister school to Huntington Christian so they know what a school like that expects of the kiddos entering Kindergarten, so they also have excellent prep. I always felt like it was one of the only schools that saw preschool as a service and not a business.”

“We are so grateful for our experience at Concordia Lutheran Preschool. Both of our daughters attended (both started at age 3), and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving and nurturing environment during their early years.

As a first-time mom sending my children to school, I was very nervous. I did a lot of research on different schools in the area. But Ms Medina and Ms Lorena were able to put my mind at ease and made me feel comfortable knowing my children were in caring and capable hands. Their kindness, communication, and genuine love for the students made the transition so much easier for our family.

Concordia really helped prepare both of our kids for kindergarten. We were very pleased to see how much they grew during their time here. not just academically, but also in their confidence, independence and social skills.

We have so many great memories from our time here and are thankful for the strong foundation our children received. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for a caring & safe preschool/TK that really helps prepare children for kindergarten.

We will miss you!!”

“We love Growing Tree!! We sent both our boys there and loved every minute of this experience. They grew so much and learned how to be polite and great kids. We were amazed at how they became so prepared for elementary school. Thank you Mrs. Serreta, thank you for being a second mom to me. There were stressful days when I would be in a rush and I forgot my lunch for work and she would give me snacks to get me through my day. She is such a caring a wonderful angel on this earth. So much love for Growing Tree, such a huge blessing to our family.”

“Started coming here when I was 16 years old.. now I’m 43 & been back going on 4 years. Pastor Eric & the staff have helped me heal, grow in my faith.. Grateful for my second home. Love the Ambiance, the updates of the buildings & all whom are a part of it. ????bonus coffee shop next door ????☕️”

“We have been at Hilltop for 5 years and it has truly been a magical place for my children. Through the years, my kids have grown in a way I wouldn’t have imagined through the loving way the teachers guide the students. I highly recommend Hilltop for early education, and to anyone that wants to join a kind and caring community.”

“My daughter started here when she was 5 months old and is now 23 months. Our experience in the infant and toddler rooms has been phenomenal. My daughter has grown so much as a result of the care a nurturing the teachers have. Taking my daughter to BLC was the easiest decision I made each day. Wendy is incredibly knowledgeable and has been at the school for many years. She is a calm and nurturing voice. Robin has also been great with my daughter. Honestly, I haven’t had a negative experience with a single person working at the school. I highly recommend.”

“I can't rave enoughAbout Mrs Rebecca as a teacher. Both my kids attended WNS and it was such a wonderful experience. My oldest who is 7 now still talks about moments he had at that school. At first I was intimidated by the parent involvement BUT I fell in love with it. It's great to be able to attend a couple days a month especially when you're a new mom and nervous about your child attending school the first time. It's rewarding feeling to help out, see what your child is doing and how the classroom runs. You can see the love of what she does and the care for each child. I learned SO much from Mrs Rebecca especially how to handle tough situations with toddlers just by watching her do her magic. She's incredible. Also because of your involvement you then make such great friendships with the other parents and creates such a great feeling knowing them and their children. It's my favorite preschool ever.”

“We enjoyed our time here. We started to bring our daughter here and she was very happy. Ms. Crystal and Ms. Anna were exceptional teachers and communicated with us about anything. Mrs. Roxanne was kind enough to send us the food calendar for our daughter and she was amazing and a great person to talk to, very understanding and kind. We loved coming here and we are sad to go, but we take you in our hearts and keep you in our prayers! Thank you little blessings!!”

“My child is now 4 years old and has been attending OC Kids Infant & Preschool since she was 2, and I could not be more thrilled with the care and education she has received. The school is always clean, welcoming, and inviting for my child. I especially love how they integrate Montessori materials into their lessons while still preparing children for the academic expectations of public school. It truly feels like the best of both worlds.

Over the past two years, I’ve seen tremendous growth in my daughter—socially, emotionally, and academically. The teachers and directors have been incredibly caring, patient, and attentive. They were wonderful about answering all of my calls and emails during her transition into school, which gave me so much peace of mind as a parent.

One of my favorite aspects of the program is their dual-language immersion. It has been such a gift to watch my daughter build confidence in her Spanish skills while having fun and feeling supported every step of the way. I also appreciate the enrichment programs they offer in preschool, I feel overall the cost of daycare there is very competitive when you factor in all the bells and whistles which are included like soccer, dance, tae kwon do and music, as well as all the meals, and extended care which was not always included are the surrounding options I checked out.

I am so grateful for OC Kids, their teachers and team really gave me the piece of mind from the tour, to my daughter's first day, to the last few years all the events and daily feedback etc. It has been a very positive experience and I hope this helps another family find the right preschool for their little one as well!”

“Both my boys have gone to Coastal over the past few years. My youngest is there now and absolutely loving it! Every day I drop him off, he is happy and excited to see everyone and says hello to all the teachers. Ms. Destinee has been incredible and always has fun activities planned. I love that my son gets to play outside and interact with nature in the garden. Since coming to coastal my son has thrived and is doing so well with his learning. Just this morning I talked to the teacher about him already knowing all his colors!

A huge thanks to the director Ms. Katrina. I’ve know her for several years now and she is truly the best to work with. I always know the kids are in good hands at Coastal. Thank you all very much for the care and attention you give our kids!”

“This place is an amazing place to send your child.I went here growing up and it was truly a gift from God to be sent here. All of the staff here truly care so much about all of the students they help and they all of an invested interest in the students.They are all so incredibly kind and helpful.They have affordable prices for your child.They are the reason I got through school.I highly recommend”

“My son has been attending Sunny Day for two years now. First it was daycare, and now preschool. They have been very communicative about any issues that arise and have always handled them in a professional manner. We toured a number of facilities, and this one is both affordable and provides a great environment for my son to learn and grow socially as well as academically.”

“There are not enough words that I could use to explain how amazing and unforgettable the team at Bumblebee Pre school is. Ms Tammy and all of the teachers are so talented, caring and all around phenomenal. Not only in communication and transparency, but curriculum, planning and engagement too. After having to leave our previous daycare due to time changes and other concerns. Ms Tammy welcomed us in, and in no time showed care for our children in ways we couldn't believe from a daycare. We didnt want to get our hopes up but then every teacher on staff exceeded our expectations and we fell in love with the place. Our kids have been going here for months now, and they have never had a bad day, we get communication on everything that happens and a couple of pictures of their day. If we have questions, we always feel heard, validated and genuine care when we get a response. We love them so much and highly recommend them to anyone looking.”

“I remember making that first phone call to ask questions. Each person I spoke with was patient and expressed care which I appreciated as a mom first entering into the preschool world. It’s a big transition! We scheduled our tour to show our daughter and completed our application. It was a great experience! We are incredibly grateful for the staff. From first day nerves to now our daughter feels excited to go to school, we are so happy we chose ABC Development Preschool (Morris). Our daughter is learning and having fun in the process. We highly recommend to families looking for a school that’s a safe place to trust with your little one!”

“We are so grateful for the care and love this school has shown our daughter over the years. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff made her feel special and truly valued as an individual. They not only cared for her education but also for her heart, creating an environment where she could grow in faith, confidence, and character.

The strong academics paired with the Christ-centered community gave her the foundation to thrive both inside and outside the classroom. We’ve watched her blossom here—learning, maturing, and becoming more confident in who she is.

This school has been such a blessing to our family, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the dedication and care the staff have poured into our daughter’s life.”

“My little one started her first daycare journey here as a toddler. She was a bit hesitant, but the teachers, director (Ms. Nichole), and assistant directors have all been absolutely wonderful at making sure she feels comfortable and cared for every day. A few weeks in and now she’s excited to see her teachers at drop off (especially Ms. Ashley and Ms. Jazmin). They have engaging activities, send out weekly lesson plans, and the teachers really get to know the kids on an individual level to work with them. We love it here ❤️.”

“I am happy to share my experience. My 3 1/2 year-old daughter has been at the school from the time she was four months old and every day when I bring her and pick her up she’s met with smiles and hellos from all staff that she passes.
She has become such a well-rounded, happy little person in their care. She has grown, social emotionally and academically.
Her academics far surpasses what I expected, her ability to learn is because of the loving care that she has gotten. Not only is she learning so much but she’s having a great time.”

“Our daughter has been going to Childtime for about a year and have loved our experience there. All the teachers are so genuinely caring and have given my daughter a safe, enriching and fun environment to be in during the day. We love seeing all all the arts & crafts, music and activities that they do with her. She knows all her teachers and friends and is happy to go to school. Besides the great environment- we toured other schools in the area and Childtime was by far the most flexible and convenient. They have cameras, picture updates daily, included lunch and diapers, convenient opening/closing times, as well as very few closures which makes it such a reliable care center. Administrative staff is also extremely professional and accommodating. We are so grateful for all the teachers and staff at Childtime.”

“I attended school for Medical Assistant/X-ray Technician and had a good experience. The instructors and staff were very supportive and helped me prepare for my career from day one. I passed my state exam on the first try, and I got a job right after graduation.
A special thank you to Natalie, Career Services Coordinator, for all the help and guidance during the job search process. She was very supportive and truly cared about helping students succeed.”

“The most loving and kind teachers. My son started at 2 and struggled with speech and behavior issues but every time I felt discouraged not only did they stick by my son and help him but they would take the time to talk and work with me. They helped my son grow and he still asks to return. Thank you to the director Ms. Kiran for always working with us. Thank you to Ms. Cecile for being Julian’s first teacher and helping me through all his tough moments and you and Ms. Sandy always making me laugh. Thank you to Ms. Maria for always helping with Julian even though he wasn’t your student, words can’t express the amount of love you all have and the way you all come together to make sure every student is taken care of. Thank you Ms, Hailey as well for the short of time we got to know you always being there to help everyone. Thank you all. I truly cannot recommend this school enough.”

“I really like how they take care of my daughter and how involved they are with the children daily. They show videos and have a report of how they do so we feel involved and know what it is like. I highly recommend for daycare and up to preschool!”

“We are very happy with this preschool and the positive impact it has had on our child. The teachers are caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth and well-being. The curriculum strikes a great balance between learning and play, helping build confidence and social skills. Communication with parents is clear and consistent, which we really appreciate. The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming for young children. Overall, it’s a wonderful place that provides a strong foundation for early learning.”

“This is my daughter’s first year at Covenant, and choosing the right school for her has been a journey. Even before she was born, I began thinking about Christian education and exploring my options. I visited seven other private Christian schools in the area, and while they were nice, Covenant stood out.

When I visited Covenant, I immediately felt something different. After speaking with Mr. Furey, it was clear that he genuinely loves the Lord, his work, and the students. He thoughtfully answered my questions about how the school operates and its commitment to biblical truths. By the end of our meeting, I knew Covenant was the right choice for my daughter.

To anyone considering Covenant, I can confidently say—you won’t be disappointed!”

“We absolutely love Kiddie Academy of Santa Ana!!! I've never met such an amazing staff, all around, and Alannah is the absolute best!! This place is run with such love and care, you can feel it when you walk in and by your child's reactions daily. Although we had to transfer to another site and miss them terribly, we will be forever grateful for the amazing experience and memories to cherish forever! They truly planted the seed for my daughter to have a great preschool experience and I would recommend the facility to anyone who really wants their small child to start their educational experience the right way. You're the best, Kiddie Academy of Santa Ana, and especially Alannah! We miss you!!! Love, "V" and Sam”

“This will be our third year at Kiddie Academy and we couldn’t be happier!! Miss. Patty and Miss. Natalie, the administrative staff are exceptional!! Always happy, smiling and welcoming. The teachers Miss. Kaitlyn and Miss. Judith are just some of our favorites. The summer program is full of fun and learning. The regular yearly curriculum is enriching and educational. If you are in need of high quality childcare that has a family element then Kiddie Academy of Costa Mesa is for you! Thank you ladies! You are the ones making it extra special!!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience here and feel so lucky we got a spot.As a first time parent with an infant, I was nervous about starting daycare so early. But now I truly feel comfortable and at ease dropping my baby off every day, and that’s really because of the teachers.

What stands out the most is how all the teachers seem to know most of the children, not just their own class. It shows how well they communicate and how much they care. The environment feels very connected, attentive, and warm.

This is not just a daycare. The teachers read stories, do activities, spend time outdoors, and support feeding as babies grow. The kids stay engaged and busy throughout the day in a very positive way.

Shoutout to all the teachers for everything you do. We truly appreciate the care, patience, and attention you give every day. Thank you for being my child’s first teachers: Ms. Mariana, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Diane, Ms. Lydia, Ms. Bella, Ms. Persia, Ms. Pilar, Ms. Nora, Ms. Alyssa, and Ms. Nichell.

We also appreciate the support from the director and assistant director, Ms. Larricia and Ms. Herronda.

They also have live camera access, which gave me peace of mind, especially in the beginning. Providing diapers, formula, and food is another big help for working parents.

Because of the quality, there is a waitlist. We joined before our baby was born and waited a few months, but it was absolutely worth it.”
