Turtle Rock Preschool, Kindergarten and Academy is a private developmental school that follows a strong academic curriculum for children as young as 8 weeks through kindergarten, with after school care available through 6th grade. Locally owned and family operated – we have provided year-round care of the highest quality for children in Orange County since 1979.

We recognize that education not only implies academics and physical skills development but also social and emotional growth. We appreciate the diversity of our families and celebrate each child’s unique qualities. As we work with families to benefit children, we intend that this devotion, respect and understanding be evident in the school on a daily basis. Our teachers are committed to working with parents to achieve the best possible results for their children.

Areas of academic importance include: early learning skills in math, language, art and science.  We provide each child with the necessary foundation for school readiness. In addition to academics – social and emotional well-being also plays a significant role in a child’s development. Our curriculum, various activities and daily experiences provide children with opportunities for a fun, enriching and exciting time while they build relationships. We create a positive environment that encourages children to explore their surroundings on a daily basis. Upon completion of our program, we believe that the children’s well-rounded experiences will provide them the necessary strengths for emotional, social and academic excellence.

I love Turtle Rock Preschool!

My son has been going to Turtle Rock Preschool for a year now and we LOVE this school! I've toured about 15 different preschools in Orange County and this is definitely the best school out there. I cannot say enough good things, the teachers and staff are amazing. The school is clean and safe and offer so many enrichment classes. Best preschool in Orange County!

We have two kids: one is a TRP alum and now a 1st grader, the other is currently there. Both of them thrived in the loving, stimulating, engaging, and safe environment. The teachers are all among the most dedicated, experienced, caring, wonderful educators you will find. The projects are very engaging and hands-on, and you can tell that the teachers encourage kids to be creative and to learn while having fun.



One of the observations that sold us on TRP when we were visiting preschools was the palpable atmosphere of the kids being at ease, having fun, learning, and thoroughly enjoying themselves and each other's company. No shell-shocked, blank stares or neglected kids standing in the corner here! :)



Our children always looked forward to going to school. Meanwhile, over at our 1st grader's elementary school, we've heard several teachers singing their praises, saying that its alums are among the most well-adjusted and well-prepared kids at the school.



My husband and I found the tuition to be very competitive for the Irvine area.

WARNING DONT SEND YOUR KIDS!

I was told this was one of the best preschools to send your kids. It was many years back the new owner ripped us off. Took our money for deposits and waited 7 months to get nothing but the run around and there is a high turn over of teachers. After talking with the rude people there in no way am i sending my young daughter there! Watch out do the research i just found many complaints after the fact! Our kids matter i hope yours do to!

My daughter is in her second year and we couldn't be happier. The Director and teachers are excellent. This was my daughter's first experience away from home and she needed a definite adjustment period. The Director and staff were very helpful in making her feel welcome, safe and comfortable. She has blossomed in the past year and a half, learning and growing so much. She looks forward to going to school every day and adores her teachers. The Director is outstanding. She is very attentive to each child and their needs, making sure that parents and teachers are all working as a team for the best of each child. I have seen other preschools and have yet to find one as efficiently organized as this one. There are clear rules and schedules, so children know what is expected of them and spend their time playing and learning without so much chaos or disruption. Turtle Rock Parent
