“My children went here for the last few years. All the teachers at this daycare are very friendly and caring about the kids, my kids had so much fun here and made lots of friends. They do lots of arts, crafts, music, reading, and have events for the parents and kids in their playground every few months. The administrators and teachers went out of their way to accommodate some unusual eating issues for one of my kids. I would recommend this daycare if you want a happy and fun environment for your kids!”
“DeeCyDa is a great place to take your kid so they get an early start to education and life skills. As well as a good place for your kid to make new friends, And have good teachers.”
“Both of my children have attended Belltower (one is still attending) and we’ve had such a wonderful experience there. The front office and teachers all care so much about the children and it really shows. I have never had to question the quality of care my children receive there and as a parent you can’t really ask for much more than that. Aside from great care and education, they plan a lot of fun activities for the children as well. Highly recommend this daycare/school.”
“I can't tell you how thankful we are to have found such an incredible school.
First off, for our daughter: The teachers truly care about each and every student. They work hard to make everyday a special learning experience that's fun for them (and the parents!) From field trips, to trike races, to Dad nights--there's always something exciting going on. And the kids absolutely love it. Our daughter wouldn't leave my side, and now begs me to go to school, even on non-school days.
Second, the education: The school hosts parent ed nights, where teacher Jackie (who is amazing) shares information on parenting types, child physiology, and how to best support our growing children. It's such an incredible resource that so many of us are searching for during this parenting stage!
Third, parental involvement: As parents, we get to work in the classroom with the children, which is such a unique and totally priceless experience.
We are beyond thankful for the teachers, community, and experience at LPP!”
“Honestly, one of the most wonderful experiences in my children’s lives was their first time attending a summer camp. They were so happy at this center! The teachers were extremely kind and supportive — especially Mrs. Rima and Ms. Miriam. Thank you to everyone working at this center, from the front desk to the amazing coordinator Kelsie. We truly appreciate you all!”
“It feels inadequate to refer to Kiddie Academy of Corona as a daycare because it truly feels like so much more. Each class follows a clear curriculum as shown through weekly themes, decorated classrooms, art projects, sensory activities, appropriately themed books, and actual lessons being taught by teachers. However, an important aspect for me is that it is not such a strict curriculum that it does not allow for the uniqueness of each child. Children are given space to have difficult moments and those sides of them are nurtured as well. From the owner, to the director, the front office staff, all the classroom teachers and aids, and to the kitchen staff, there is a clear dedication to the children and their roles. And when the staff are well-taken care of and take pride in their jobs, it translates directly to a better experience for the kids. The school is on the newer side so it is the cleanest daycare I’ve seen. Food is made on-site and on the healthier side. They have longer hours to meet the needs of working parents. They use an app that also includes daily updates with photos and videos of your cute kiddos. All doors are locked and you can only enter the front door with a unique code for each family. They also have planned activities each month like water play days in the summer, holiday celebrations, visits from professionals like doctors and first responders, the Aquarium of the Pacific traveling tide pool truck (AMAZING), puppet/magic and musical shows, soccer you can sign up for during school hours, etc. You won’t regret coming here and although it is expensive like any daycare these days, you can immediately see where the money is going. So grateful for this daycare and all the staff.”
“So excited to have Carrots & Daikon close by! Always worth the drive to Westminster, but amazing to be able to get great quality banh mi in our area. Can never go wrong with their crispy pork #6 or grilled pork #7 :)”
“The best preschool ever! I love Ms. Donna! Not only she’s knowledgeable with kids and early childhood education, she’s also full of love and patient with kids. She sees the individual needs while having to develop the curriculum for the whole class. Not to mention she’s giving lessons to parents for the monthly meeting to equip parents for better communication with kids. Don’t know how she did that. Simply amazing!I would recommend this school for anyone who is able to volunteer a good amount of time. It’s a co-op school, so the parents must be able to volunteer and have a ‘job’ at school.”
“The Goddard School has been amazing for my baby. It was a big transition for her and they helped us handle it with grace. Could not be happier with her progress so far.”
“Our family’s expectations were surpassed with Kindercare. We appreciate the balance of flexibility and structure provided here. All the teachers and management we have engaged with are warm and responsive. They are helpful with drop off which makes a world of a difference. We highly recommend Kindercare.”
“Both of my children went to Everbrook Academy, and after six wonderful years, my youngest is graduating today. It’s so bittersweet! The staff is truly incredible—Miss Ruth (the director) is the kindest person you’ll ever meet and helped guide me through so many parenting challenges. My daughter absolutely loved her teachers: Miss Susan, Miss Britt, Miss Madison, and Miss Shipra.
The school also has cameras in the classrooms, which gave me so much peace of mind early on. But honestly, I stopped checking because I trust them that much. Everbrook has been like a second home for our family, and I can’t recommend it enough. Thank you for everything!”
“We could not recommend this school enough! Our kids really love their teachers and the management is great! We are also really happy with the school's menu! We get daily reports and pictures and we can tell that our kids really like this place.”

“Great little community school, safe, nice kids and involved parents, strong curriculum, expect religion curriculum in homework. Thankful we found this gem when we did. Principal is on top of it.”
“My son has been attending daycare at this center for over a year now. He has gone from the infant classroom to toddler. Overall, this center is awesome. I have never had any bad experiences. Everyone is very friendly and my son loves his teachers and seems to actually enjoy getting dropped off. Sometimes it's hard to get him to want to leave! Would recommend to anyone in need of child care services.”
“Both our boys went here and have had most of the teachers! We have nothing but great things to say! If you’re looking for a caring preschool facility with loving teachers this is the place! We were so sad to move up to kindergarten. We wish we found this school sooner. The addition of the outside play and learning was such a bonus. My one son loved the chickens so much. I think when he first started, he was nervous, and it helped him be more comfortable to a new experience. We love Saddleback and will miss them dearly!”
“Met the owner while taking a look at my car in the parking lot. Seemed very nice and friendly, he asked if I needed help and he actually helped me! Don’t have any kids that attend this school, but will definitely recommend based of encounter with owner.”
“My kids have a good time here. The teachers are wonderful, and i can see them playing, doing activities, eating, and napping while they are there through their app. I also receive updates and pictures and feel like I'm part of their day.
They have wonderful views on the Mission Viejo Lake, where kids spend great time on the glassed balcony.”
“My daughter has been attending Lutheran Church of the Cross Preschool for a year and a half, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The teachers and staff are absolutely wonderful—caring, patient, and truly invested in the well-being and development of the children. My daughter has thrived in this nurturing environment and always looks forward to going to school. We’ve seen her grow socially, emotionally, and academically in ways that exceeded our expectations. It’s a joy to know she is happy and in great hands. I highly recommend Lutheran Church of the Cross Preschool!”
“We’re midway through our son’s second year at Serra and we absolutely love it. He’s thriving with a more academically challenging curriculum (we transferred from another Catholic elementary school), the school is beautiful and the administration is top notch. The school is large but extremely well managed. We’re grateful for the many sports/extra-curricular activities, and feel blessed to be a part of this wonderful school community in RSM / South Orange County!”
“My kiddos have been at Kids Park - Corona a total of 3 times now between August-September 2024 on Saturdays where I needed to work or be away at an event. I am SO thankful to have found this unique drop-in licensed daycare serving kids ages 2-12! This place has been a lifesaver on weekdays where their school is closed but I need childcare as I still have to work on those days. Both my littles, ages 5 and 9, thoroughly enjoy their play, crafts, themed activities and snacks/meals offered at Kids Park! They can't wait to go back and have already made so many new friends they look forward to seeing again! The staff is polite, professional and attentive to my children's needs and my concerns/questions as a parent new to Kids Park. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 10/10!”
“Just an update from my review a year ago as of things have slightly changed for our household. Now both of my sons attend. Each in their respective class for their age group and both my husband and I could not be happier. Both of our children are thriving and doing well. We can see their growth in leaps and bounds. Ms. Dora in nido class aka the infant class, has been so warm and welcoming. Her and the entire nido team have been amazing with my baby adjust and integrate into the class. While my toddler who will be moving up to the next class has continue to thrive and grow with the help of Ms. Ashley and Ms. Rozzy. I cannot describe how amazing this school is. Even with the numerous suddenly resignation of staff across the board, our children's teachers have maintained to be rock solid and really ensure the kids day to day is not disrupted. The new head and assistant admin have been kind and great with all of questions and concerns. We have been there for over a year now and even though there have been a couple of extremely rough patches, I'm happy we stayed.”
“A Fun and Nurturing Place for Kids!
As a teacher at Fun4Kids Preschool, I can honestly say this is a wonderful place for children to learn and grow. Every day, I see firsthand how much love and care goes into making this school a safe, engaging, and positive environment for young learners.
What I love most about Fun4Kids is the focus on learning through play. The classrooms are full of creativity, laughter, and hands-on activities that help children build confidence, problem-solving skills, and friendships. It’s amazing to watch them discover new things and develop a love for learning!
The team here is also incredibly supportive and passionate about early childhood education. We work together to ensure that every child gets the attention and encouragement they need to succeed. Parents are always involved, and there’s a real sense of community that makes this school feel like family.
If you’re looking for a preschool where your child will feel safe, loved, and excited to learn, I highly recommend Fun4Kids Preschool!

“Prime Years Academy has been nothing short of extraordinary for our son and our family. From the first day, we’ve felt completely at ease knowing he is in such capable, loving, and nurturing hands. The teachers don’t just educate…they inspire, guide, and genuinely care. Our son’s confidence, curiosity, and joy have blossomed beautifully under their exceptional care. Every day, he eagerly shares stories filled with happiness and excitement about school. Choosing Prime Years Academy was one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. Truly a special place filled with warmth and dedication. Highly recommended!”
“We’ve had the most wonderful experience with Tutor Time over the past few years. They cared for our son from when he was just 12 months old until he turned 4, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better place for him to grow, learn, and thrive.
The staff is incredibly loving, patient, and attentive. From his very first day, they made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and supported. We’ve watched him develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually thanks to the structured learning, fun activities, and nurturing environment they provide daily.
Communication with parents is excellent, and we always felt informed about his routines, meals, milestones, and progress by their Sprout About App. They go above and beyond to celebrate each child’s unique personality and make every child feel seen and valued.
We’re so grateful to the entire team for being such an important part of our son’s early years. Saying goodbye was definitely emotional, but we’ll always hold Tutor Time close to our hearts. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a safe and enriching space for their little one!”
“Love love love this school!!! This is my oldests first year and school and we couldn't have picked a better school, it's truly like joining a family. The teachers and staff are amazing and recognize each and every student. They teach amazing foundations and love for God that our son brings home and shares and it fills my heart with joy. Can't wait for our littlest guy to start next year!”
