Daycare/Preschool - Home Kids Academy (English/Spanish/Russian)

This was our first experience with daycare and it was a wonderful one. Lana makes delicious food and really approaches each child with love and care. I felt very safe leaving my son there and was provided a lot of photos/videos during the day. Best place to help your child speak Russian in English-speaking environment, also kids learn Spanish there and it's very cool! ! Kids are always happy playing developmental games, reading books, doing crafts. Can't recommend this academy enough! It’s a perfect daycare ! Thank you for amazing job! :)

I love how family oriented this childcare is! Lana, the owner is so loving and caring! She will make sure to accommodate all of your needs and make sure to work with you. Her daycare promotes healthy eating so all of their meals are home cooked and organic! She gives lots of healthy snacks, lots of fresh vegetable and fruits. She has also other staff member who is also very professional and kind.They also do lots of activities with the kids: do math, learn letters, read, play music, dance, draw, cook, go outside and play in the backyard. Lana is also great about giving a detailed report of how the day of my son went. She will do comments about new skills he is developing or things he enjoyed the most. The kids are thrived to be there. My son (3.5) enjoys this daycare so much that he doesn't want to go home sometimes:) This is the first indicator that he loves it and very comfortable being there. WONDERFUL place to have your child!

Disclaimer: This review is based on tour and not based on first hand experience, and this is the only place that made me write a review this soon. I have toured many places in Irvine including home based care, preschools and Montessori, long ago for my daughter (now in elementary) and for my 2 year old son. But of all the places that I've seen, this place is different. It has entire home dedicated for kids, it is spacious. She spent good one hour just in showing the place and unlike other places, she was very particular on we visiting her after daycare hours (so that in daytime she could supervise her teachers better, and also interact with kids). You could see that Ms. Lana is very honest. I recommend you to go look at the place once.

I have known Lana, the owner, for almost a decade. She has been a caregiver to my son before and I have always been extremely satisfied with the care and attention she gave him. Most importantly for me, Lana is a mother herself, and understands all the minute details that other people would miss when caring for children. I would highly recommend this daycare, because I am confident Lana pays detailed attention to the safety and well-being of the children in addition to the entertainment and development.
