This class, designed for the 18 month old through young/early two year old, focuses on developing friendships, self-esteem, curiosity, social skills, and attention span. At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. As two year olds begin to exert their independence, our Beginning Preschool program open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring.

My two boys have attended this school for a total of 5 years now. They were both potty trained by Ms. Ana and have loved all their teachers including Ms. Sarah, Ms. Kat, Ms. Reese, Ms. Mitchie and Mrs. Trujillo! My mama nerves were at ease when dropping off my 18 month old in the toddler room with Mrs. Ward. She was so amazing with the little ones! I love the music program and teachers, the gymnastics program and teachers most of all Pastor Greg and weekly chapel! Pastor Greg has the best most creative Bible lessons every week that are age appropriate and he makes the lesson so relatable to the

Where do i start? My son has been at YLUMCPS since he was 3, and to say the teachers and the staff are amazing would be an understatement. Last year my son had Mrs. Ana for Pre-K and I could not have asked for a better teacher. The growth I have seen in him this past year, both academically and socially has been astounding. Not only can he write his name, he knows his letters, he can count to 30 in Spanish and he is so confident! Mrs. Joanna the director is so nice and responsive. I love that they use Brightwheel App and that they send tons of photos and updates throughout the day. I could ask

We LOVE YLUMCPS! Our daughter started here when she was 18 months old. Finding a daycare was really stressful-- it's so tough trying to make a decision about who will take loving care of your baby. YLUMCPS has very competitive pricing and the program is wonderful. I find the family, caring vibe to be refreshing and comforting when compared to a more corporate pre-school feel (especially schools that are overly focused on academics vs play for such little kiddos). That being said-- 0ur daughter is learning so much. She constantly talks about different concepts that we know we didn't teach

I love this school so very much, it's more than a great education, I checked out a few schools before I totally fell in love with the teachers and director and the attention they give to all the kids. My son had a rough start starting school but they really knew how to comfort him and now he comes home singing songs and talking to me all your school and his friend. Highly recommend coming to check the school out of yourself. SO GLAD I DID

I can't say enough good things about YLM Preschool! I started bringing my daughter here when she was 3 and she was terrified. She'd cry so hard for months but her teacher Ms Sarah and the director then, Ms Angie, were so patient and kind to her. She is now in the 4 year old room with Ms Reese, who is so awesome as well, and absolutely loves school. She's learned a lot and has had so many great experiences so thank you YLM Preschool!

I now bring my 2 year old as well who is pretty shy and attached to me. His teacher Mrs Ward has been SO SO GREAT and kind and he's doing amazing

I enrolled my son at 18 months old in the toddler room. His teacher was Mrs. Ward and she is phenomenal with the toddlers. He was engaged each day with more activities than I could provide at home, or thought he could do at that young age. He spent a full year in her class including the summer camp. At 2 1/2 he moved up classroom to Miss Mitchie's class for the summer. Once school started in September he went to Mrs. Ana's 3/4 year old class and while he was one of the youngest he grew tremendously in her care. They have a great hot lunch program, offer naps, and before and after care

We love everything about YLUMCPS, from the strong family values and education to the numerous activities they prepare for the kids! My 4 year old son has been attending since he was 18 months old and we have had nothing but amazing experiences. I should add that my son had several delays and everyone at YLUMCPS was always so patient with him and helped him succeed. Our 18 month old will be joining next and we cannot wait. I highly recommend YLUMCPS!

I have only good things to say about United Methodist Preschool. My twin girls were in the 2 year old non-potty trained class and are now in the 3 year old class. My daughters love going to school.
A few things I love:
- Wonderful teachers and staff
- Large classrooms (the physical space)
- Weekly gymnastics, music, and chapel
- Very accommodating with schedules

I highly recommend this school!

Yorba Linda united Methodist pre-school is a fantastic place to send your kids to school. Every year the school makes improvements and continues to strive to give the kids the best educational experience they can receive while still letting them enjoy being a kid. They have many events for kids which other schools in the area do not have. The director of the school, Ms. Angie has made many improvements to the school (inside and out) and continuously strives to be the best in Yorba Linda. The teachers are absolutely fantastic we have sent both our kids there and been nothing but happy. Tuition

I couldn't be more complementary of this school and the teachers/staff. We recently transferred our two children (1 1/2 and 4 1/2) from a different program located in Newport Beach (that was double the expense with half the curriculum) back in May. Since transferring, our children-- specifically our oldest-- are THRIVING. I noticed a drastic difference in her letter recognition and her excitement for science! Each class, including the 18 month old class, is impressively structured. We receive weekly messages via Brightwheel (best app ever ) with a broad overview of what will be covered that

My daughter has gone to this daycare since she was about 18 months. Although she is shy and timid she loves the school and has attached to each teacher she has come across. The turnover is very little, most teachers have been there a long time. They have taught my girl so much and have taken such good care of her. They know her well and know how to deal with her anxiety which is nice to know. I am sad that this may be her last year. We may even keep her here for Kindergarten we love it so much! They have also come a long way with technology since we started. They continue to improve technology

We love the preschool and especially our daughter who is so excited to go on her days! Ms. Lindsay & Minchey (spelling?) have been wonderful teachers along with Ms. Angie and Ms. Whitney which are so helpful in the office and answering any questions. They have a smooth running preschool there and you feel at home. From the first walk through of the preschool to today it has been a great experience. I feel good leaving my daughter there and she's in caring hands this will also be my daughters first vbs year and that's exciting they offer it to toddlers. if you're looking for

Both of our children attended this preschool, and our daughter will be returning next year before heading off to kindergarten. We cannot say enough about the teachers and staff; they are so kind and clearly love what they do. Our son has serious food allergies, and the director and teachers did a wonderful job keeping him safe during his two years there. He went on to TK ahead of the curve both socially and academically; and he can't wait to return this summer for camp. Our daughter loves her teachers and friends, and it's been wonderful to watch her grow and learn in such a supportive

This review is for the current director Angie Gunter that does not accommodate kids with special needs.

Our child used this school for 2 years. And now Angie rejected a school district bus drop off, according to her "a school district bus is not safe".

Unfortunately, since this child care center run by a religious entity such as church, they do not follow ADA rules and the director does not provide reasonable accommodations for kids with special needs.
There is a hope this school gets a new director in the near future.

We love YLUMCPS! Both my kids have attended for the past two years and come home happy. The teachers are all amazing and seem to know all the kids by first name even if they haven't had them as a student. We really feel like our kids are in the best hands.
