What parents say
My son loved his time in the infant room at Irvine Kindercare! All of his teachers were amazing (my son particularly loved Ms. Ana) and took such great care of him. It’s clear they adore the babies by getting to know them each as individuals and nurturing new skills regularly. I was very happy with our experience overall and the peace of mind knowing my baby was well cared for.
Kristy Thomas · 5/5 on Google · 6 months agothe lady at the front desk was super patient with me figuring out enrollment... teachers seemed to really care about the kids there... wouldnt go anywhere else for our little one.
Valeria Romero · 5/5 on Google · 2 months agoWe had a great experience at this Kindercare with two of our kids from 1-4. Mr Kevin with the youngest was amazing a caring for them just starting and acclimating, to the end Ms. Indika was an incredible pre k teacher that within a few months. our kids learned their numbers, math, reading, and writing. They have a great new director which is very invested and concerned with all the parents and families.
Wesley Putimahtama · 5/5 on Google · 11 months agoMy son has been constantly bullied at this school and suffered severe scratches on his face, yet the teachers do nothing; I even witnessed a two-year-old child eating flakes of paint off the wall while the teachers were just chatting. I’m a mom ! Don’t sent kid for here
