Foothills Preschool is a premier early childhood education institution that has been nurturing kids with warm and friendly hearts, inquisitive minds, and adventurous spirits since 1969. We believe that each child is a unique individual with their own pattern and speed of development. Our differentiated curriculum meets each child where they are developmentally, and our expert teachers compose a plan for their individual growth and learning goals. We use a Reggio-inspired approach to early childhood education, with a focus on emergent, integrated curriculum based on shared interests of the students and teachers. Our lesson planning is based on the California Learning Foundations for Preschool, and we follow the guidelines for environment and curriculum recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Our nurturing staff is dedicated to helping each child develop to their full potential through fun and challenging learning experiences.
Parents praise the school's unique educational approach, exceptional teachers, and affordability, citing it as an "incredible value" and a "hidden gem" in the OC area.
Some parents may find the school's limited hours (closing at 3 pm) to be a drawback.
