She loves attending school, making friends and always has great things to say about her teachers.

They teach in Spanish and mandarin. In a short amount of time, my little one is able count in Spanish and say certain words in Spanish and mandarin. School safety is a top priority, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure the safety of our children. I love how the school keeps you updated about the children throughout the day.

I highly recommend Seaside Costa Mesa preschool!

Now she walks in on her own and says goodbye to me. I find her watching shows in Chinese as-well as in Spanish. Within the 3 months she has been there she knows her letters , shapes ,colors and numbers. She is now trilingual. At Seaside they teach Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. My granddaughter speaks to me in both. I have to ask her teachers what she is saying. Not only is she thriving academically she is thriving socially: She loves to get up and go see her friends and teachers. I couldn't be more thrilled and blessed to have her at Seaside. I cant wait to continue to watch her grow at Seaside. If you are looking for a school for your child I highly recommend Seaside Costa Mesa. You will not be disappointed.

  My son started recently as a barely 2 year old and LOVES it here. I love how friendly, communicative and supportive their teachers and director are. My son is loving... read more his class, his teachers, the garden and the play area with slides. (My son loves slides!) I feel like they empower my son although he is the youngest in his class. He walks in confident and has a smile on his face. I hear him say some of the words he's learned in Spanish and Chinese. He surprised my brother at lunch by greeting him with ni hao. Every interaction with staff is just so kind. They tell parents daily that they're glad you're here and you make the school better. Honestly that kind of affection is so nice to hear. They do crafts often and send them home to you. They take pics and put them in the app with their food, potty events and nap time. So far my son and I are very happy with this school. It's been such a pleasant experience!

  We absolutely LOVE this school for our little one. The teachers are top notch and provide the necessary one on one attention that our son needs.

If your looking for a loving but academically challenging environment for your child...look no further!!!

  I went for a visit with my brother and his kids. The school is totally redone and looks great. I would have loved to gone to a school like this... read more when I was young! this newly reopened school. My nephew and niece loved playing with all the toys and didn't want to leave. The staff was kind and helpful.
My brother loves the school and says it's great value. Plus they have good hours for the kids so I don't have to babysit as much anymore!

  I'm so happy that the school has an opportunity to reopen for the community. It's been completely remodeled and is much needed since so many schools have been closing!

  Ms. Pearla, the director, and her highly skilled staff are some of the best around. It says something when your kids refuse to leave school until they say good bye... read more to their teachers and director.

Ms. Pearla's staff has such a passion and spirit of the education of small minds. I have seen the amazing change in my son who was pretty minimally verbal at 2.5 to sprouting to telling me so many stories and details about his day with his teacher. We owe that to the teachers who have worked with him to develop those skills.

Our family can't recommend this group enough. We love the curriculum and activities. Every child should get a preschool experience like this one. The facilities are clean, they have followed every imaginable guideline and just want your kiddo to be happy.

  So happy to see Seaside Costa Mesa reopen after these tough last two years. The school has a unique sea based theme for kids to experience a colorful and interactive... read more development environment. We considered tons of preschools in the past and this one stands out, especially in this part of OC, right next to Newport Beach.

The spaces inside look brand new and very CLEAN, which was very important for us of course, you can tell its really well maintained and managed.

From meeting with the director for the first time to speaking with the dedicated staff in subsequent visits, you can tell the folks really care about what they are doing and the kids are staying engaged and also having a great time. A couple of our friends have enrolled their kids as well after visiting, highly recommend!
