  KinderCare Rancho Santa Margarita has been such a gift to our family. When I drop off my children, I know they will be safe, listened to, and genuinely cared for. My kids love their teachers like grandmothers, and their teachers care for them with that same warmth. They have built such personal bonds, and it means everything to me that my children feel at home there. As a mom, I’ve also found myself turning to the teachers for parenting advice. They’re always willing to listen, share their experience, and offer guidance when I need it. That kind of support goes far beyond what I ever expected from a child care center. Ms. Mojgan, the director, has gone above and beyond to make my kids feel at home. Ms. Ellie makes them feel so loved. Ms. Meenu has made a real effort to ensure my older daughter feels heard, and Ms. Sarah takes the time to truly listen to the children. I’m especially grateful to Ms. Kim for the kindness she showed my middle daughter when she had accidents. She helped her feel comfortable and reassured instead of embarrassed. The teachers in the younger classrooms are angels, too. My two-year-old is always on the move, and I couldn’t even get her to sit on the toilet at home. Within a week in their classroom, she was potty trained! I still can’t believe it. I’m so grateful for everyone at this campus. I hope the teachers know how much of a difference they make in our children’s lives and how deeply we appreciate them as parents.

  We’ve been part of Rancho Santa Margarita KinderCare for about 3.5 years now, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! We actually moved to Irvine, but we simply couldn’t bring ourselves to change daycare because of how much we love this place. The teachers are truly wonderful — they show so much love, care, and attention to each child and are always responsive to their individual needs. Our daughter is almost 4, and KinderCare has been such a big part of her life and development. The level of learning and daily activities is amazing, and the Summer Camp program especially impresses us every year. They put so much effort into making it exciting for the kids — horseback riding, train rides, petting zoos, bounce houses, and so many other special activities. Our daughter always has something new to tell us about! The facilities are great, the environment feels warm and welcoming, and most importantly, we feel confident that our daughter is genuinely cared for, loved, and happy here. We’re incredibly grateful that we found Rancho Santa Margarita KinderCare and have been able to watch our daughter grow here over the years. A huge thank you to the director, and to all the wonderful teachers who have cared for and taught her throughout these 3.5 years. ❤️

  I love the Phonics program at RSM Kinder Care. My child is speaking so much better. He can now spell and write his name. This is a great place to have your kids.

  Be very careful about leaving your children at this center. I made the mistake of putting my child there, and my child got hurt. The teachers behave very badly with the kids. When I went to pick up my child, I saw with my own eyes that they were yelling at the children and pushing them. As soon as I saw this, I took my child out of there and moved my child to another center. I informed the manager there, but unfortunately, thay didn’t care. Please make sure to do your research before sending your children to this center.
