Happy Minds Kids Academy, Mission Viejo | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I’ve got two children (3 & 18/mo) at this school. We started when my son was 20 months and my youngest started when she was 14 weeks. We absolutely love this school. It is so hard and nerve racking to find a place that you are comfortable leaving your children all day / 5 days a week. I toured 7 preschool/daycares in the area prior to choosing Happy Minds Academy. When I toured this school I immediately got a good feeling when I walked in the door, it was clean and organized. I was created friendly and professionally by the assistant director and then met with the director in her office. When we toured the school she explained all the different rooms and classes, it was really neat to see the kids in their element and how much fun they were having. I also really like how the ages are split up in the classrooms, while mixed ages play together outside, the class rooms are primarily split by age, with the 2 year olds having 2 rooms, one for older 2’s and another for the younger 2’s. After my tour I visited the school twice to sit in the toddler room with my son and get to know the teachers. I loved what the teachers had to say about the school, the other teachers, the director and the students.

My kids absolutely love this school and so do I! In a home where both parents work full time it’s a necessity to be comfortable and confident in the school you choose for your littles. I highly recommend this school, I can’t imagine being anywhere else.

Our kids early education has been an important factor since the day they were born. We came from Las Vegas and our now 2 and almost 4 year old has been in daycare since they were 3 months. Having moved to so cal we were starting from ground zero with adjustment with work, life, and finding the perfect school for our kids with a reasonable tuition because let’s face it, we live paycheck to paycheck. We toured happy minds and Fashana was welcoming and informative on how things operated and what was unique was the binders she makes for each kid to store their art and academic work for us to take home each school year! We signed up and could not be happier. Fashana made herself readily available from all means of communication whenever I had a question and was open minded to suggestions. All the teachers are nice and care about our kids. The school also has a lot of extracurricular activities that involves parents: ie Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, picnics, holiday potlucks, concerts etc etc. their summer program is exceptional with field trips and community people coming in such as fire fighters, cops, dentists, petting zoo etc etc. thumbs up to the staff and school. We love it!
