In our classrooms and outdoor spaces, children can achieve optimal growth in all areas of the curriculum with one teacher and no more than 12 students in a completely separate classroom designed to enhance each child’s opportunities for growth. The individual teacher remains the single most important factor. Our teachers are full-time professionals. They are trained, experienced and credentialed in early childhood education. Edgewood teachers are always available to their parents and use many recourses to communicate with their students’ parents. Classroom teacher conferences with parents are held three times throughout the year to ensure that all areas of social, emotional and academic development are progressing and continued to be challenged. Core Programs Our Core Programs are designed to meet your child’s needs the year round. We accept children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 6 1/2.

In-Home daycare
Columbus Grove Daycare is a licensed large in-home family daycare in the heart of Irvine, CA that offers an inviting, nurturing, and warm space for children to grow and develop. Our priorities in preparation for Kindergarten are: academic enrichment, developing fine and gross motor skills through various activities, social and emotional development, and creativity through arts and crafts and music. The in-home daycare facility fosters a safe space through a designated classroom / learning area, custom beds and fitted sheets for nap time, and a spacious outdoor playtime area. Chi (Daycare Owner), who holds an International Montessori Teaching Diploma through the North American Montessori Center, has over 10 years of in-home family daycare experience beginning in 2012. She is licensed to care for 14 children (12 toddler / pre-school aged children + 2 school aged children) with a teaching assistant. All teacher's assistants at Columbus Grove Daycare are current students or recent graduates from UCI / nearby universities and have education and childcare experience or aspirations to become teacher's in the future. Most notably through the years from Columbus Grove Daycare graduates is Chi’s cooking. She provides freshly prepared meals daily and skillfully caters towards the taste buds of young ones. Most children who attend Columbus Grove Daycare come when they are young and stay until Kindergarten. We have the privilege of building trustworthy longitudinal relationships with the children we care for and they become just like family members. All children leave from Columbus Grove Daycare amply prepared academically for Kindergarten and more importantly always have fond memories of their time at Columbus Grove Daycare with Chi and friends.

Parentz View Child Care is a Large Licensed In Home Family Day Care located in Costa Mesa, in the Mesa Verde housing track. I've been in business for 11 years now. I originally started my daycare after having a bad experience with a Licensed provider where my daughter attended. After that ordeal I quit my job to be able to stay home with her. I felt like there was no way I would trust anyone watching her. Knowing that she wasn't the only child not getting their needs met by a loving "2nd Mom", I knew I'd be making a difference if I started my own. One less child being neglected...that's how I looked at it. Since then, it's grown into a daycare that I am completely proud of, of which Yelp nominated #1 in Orange County out of all Daycare Facilities AND Centers. At Parentz View Child Care we provide all healthy meals which includes Breakfast, Lunch and Afternoon Snack. Not only do I provide nurturing and loving care for their daily needs, but I also provide a preschool curriculum that is fun and has challenging activities that promote all aspects of their development. Unlike a Preschool Center or Montessori, where your child could get lost or unnoticed in the crowded, over filled classrooms, we have maximum 12 children with 2 Child Care Providers. My home has comfortable furniture, cozy nooks and an enriching play room that creates a warm environment for your little ones. When your child comes to my house, they won't just feel like they are going to school or day care, they will feel like they are visiting with family, that just so happens to teach them fun new things throughout the day!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Fountain Valley, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Fountain Valley, CA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Fountain Valley, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Fountain Valley, CA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Fountain Valley, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in Fountain Valley, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
