Turtle Rock Preschool is an independent, secular early childhood school in Irvine that provides year-round care and education for children from 8 weeks through kindergarten on a one-acre campus in the Turtle Rock neighborhood.
Turtle Rock Preschool is an independent, secular, year-round early childhood day school serving children from 8 weeks through kindergarten. The school operates on a one-acre campus in the Turtle Rock neighborhood of Irvine and organizes children into multiple classrooms across nursery, preschool, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten levels. Enrollment and staffing stated on the site indicate the school serves roughly two hundred children across about eleven classrooms.
The school uses a theme-based curriculum developed by its Curriculum Director that blends play-based learning with increasingly challenging academic work. The approach draws from multiple early-childhood models (notably Reggio Emilia), emphasizes hands-on, discovery-driven activities, and balances social-emotional development with early learning in math, language, art and science.
Turtle Rock features a purpose-built natural playground and outdoor classroom designed with varied natural elements. Described features include water play elements (hand pump, sluiceway, water wall, shallow stream, splash pads), sand pits, rock scrambles, a wood climbing wall, sunken fort, willow tunnel, stage, playhouse, gardens tended by teachers and children, and musical/play-art elements.
The school operates an on-site kitchen and provides morning and afternoon snacks for all children; parents may purchase a hot lunch. Meals are prepared on campus by a dedicated chef and are served family-style. The site states menus include fresh fruit and vegetables, a variety of grains, and culturally varied entrees, and notes accommodations are made for vegetarian diets and children with allergies or special dietary needs.
An after-school program option is offered for school-age children, providing supervised activities beyond the core day.
Enrichment offerings provide additional activities and learning opportunities outside regular classroom time.
The infant program is described as a nurturing environment that accepts children starting as early as 8 weeks of age and is designed to support early physical and cognitive development.
Junior Pre-K is presented as a program that expands children’s coordination, social interaction and curiosity through more complex play and classroom activities.
The pre-kindergarten program is designed to develop cognitive, social and emotional skills that form a foundation for reading, writing and mathematics.
