Maranatha Child Development Center

This facility is AMAZING! I was stressing out on finding a daycare service for my 2.5 year old until I found Maranatha Child Care Center. No words can express how much I really appreciate Felicity and the staff for welcoming my son with arms wide open once he walk in the door. The teachers very friendly, attentive, and nurturing to my son and I really enjoyed seeing him develop new skills every day. I would definitely recommend Maranatha to other parents.

Maranatha is without a doubt the best place for my daughter. She has been enrolled since she was only 10 weeks and has received the best care. Felicity is warm, very involved, and makes a concerted effort to connect with each and every child, teacher, and parent that walks through the door. The teachers are wonderful and keep to the Reggio Emilia developmental approach.
As an elementary teacher who has studied child development, it’s wonderful seeing the attention and care my child gets. She has developed a schedule (as much as a 9 month old can!), has structured play, and receives a lot of love from her teachers.
I truly couldn’t have found a better place for my daughter. If you’re looking for a safe, engaging, warm environment for your child, I highly recommend them!

Came in to check out the place. Staff was friendly except for this one lady that was too overwhelming. Checked out the rooms and they were OK. It didn’t smell particularly nice and actually smelled like mold. Checked out the playground and the walkway toward the playground looked very dangerous. There was a piece of plywood that created a makeshift ramp did not look safe at all. The front entrance was nice and inviting but that’s where the cleanliness stops. It looked very dirty and unhealthy in the facility. The day I visited, I was warned that there was pink eye going around and this was after I did the tour with my child. I wish they would have told me about it before and would have not risked my child to that. They had multiple violations as well that is posted on the entrance to facility. I believe I counted 8 major violations. Will definitely be going somewhere else.

The owner, director Felicity is awesome. Her staff and her are committed to excellence and cares deeply about the children. Place with great values and empowering pedagogy. I recommend this school unequivocally.

Felicity and the staff are amazing! They are so friendly and attentive to the children. The facility is nice and clean and I can see how the children really enjoy it here. If any of you are looking for a place to enroll your child, this is the place to go. You won’t be disappointed. It’s definitely a hidden gem.

Love love love the team at Maranatha. My lil man has been there since 3 months, and he loves it there. They have events in which even the tiniest ones can participate, and plays put on by the kids, projects throughout the year. They really do a lot even for the littlest ones, so much more than just a daycare. Maranatha has been truly a blessing for our lil family. Thank you!

I have had many great experiences with Maranatha CDC. They are always very friendly when I drop my son off and they have really worked with my constantly changing schedule. The staff are also very attentive and they even noticed when my son was having an «off» day and called me to let me know. They are also very hands on and I love getting report cards telling me that they let my 10 month old play with bubbles or they did story and song time with him. I would definitely recommend Maranatha to other parents.

I visited a number of places to take my daughter and this one stood out as the most professional and caring. They are very interactive with the children, even with babies. I started taking my daughter here when she was 4 months old. She loves the ladies there and they love her. The price is reasonable and it’s just such a caring and nurturing environment. My sister in law told me that the reggio emilio style is much more loving than the style she teaches at another daycare which is a montessori. Totally recommend this place to anyone.

I have observed that Maranatha Child Development Center is a very loving caring environment for children. The staff are patient and truly care about each and every one of the children that are there. I would highly recommend this school for anyone that was looking for exceptional daycare for their children.

Maranatha School is great my grandsons both attend. They have been going there for 3 years now. And the school is fantastic the teachers are great they are always welling to go above and beyond. One of my grandsons are going to Kinder this year and I feel as well as his parents feel is ready to go. They show each child how to be independent and rely on their own opinions. As I said before the teachers and the front office is amazing they go above and beyond. My grandson is in Pre K and Ms. Sonia and Ms. Maryann are great with him how to deal with his feelings and believe in himself. They encourage him daily to trust in himself. Ms. Kathy and Ms. Kristen are great to my other grandson, he is a handful but they teach him about respect of others and also how to deal with his feelings. He has only been going there a couple of months and he enjoys going to school when he is with us. Thank You all for being a wonderful staff.
This is great… I am very glad that I have found them, to teach my grandchild there values and also teaching us as parents and grandparents the new ways.
Thank You
Teachers and Staff keep up the good word…

Our 3 year old has thrived here! 2 years ago when I went back to work and was looking for care, I was horrified by some of the places I visited, I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my day there. But then I found Maranatha. The classroooms are big and bright and full of wonderful educational and fun things for the kids to do. The staff is wonderful and attentive.

This is a preschool that has a beautiful facility, caring staff and a great management team. They are always doing fun and interesting activities both on and off site. Classrooms are always clean and are full of interesting things inside and on the walls. I really enjoy seeing the good work these guys do and would recommend Maranatha to anyone –without hesitation.

My son has gone to a few different childcare facilities since he was an infant. Maranatha has by far been the best fit for my son. Ms. Felicity and Ms. Tanya along with his preschool teachers have made such an impact on his developmental skills. Every child is different and the teachers here are sensitive to each Childs individual needs. I am so glad we found a daycare in the Anaheim Hills/​Yorba Linda area where he is not just another number, but we are treated like family. I am confident he is ready for kindergarten, thanks to Maranatha Child Development Center!

I was looking for care for my then 3 year old in the Yorba Linda/​Anaheim Hills area when I was blessed to find the fantastic ladies behind Maranatha, Ms Felicity, Ms. Tanya and Ms. Michelle. This center is just amazing! The teachers and directors are so caring and I know that my son is getting an enriched learning opportunity EVERY day he is there. The school believes that each child is an individual and grows at their own pace. They support the individual. The Regio-​approach used in the Pre-​K room is fantastic. Ms. Sonia and Ms. Mary Ann have created a child centered class in which the students are encouraged to explore and observe the world around them. The children’s observations lead the learning for that day/​week.
The center has created a real «community» feel between the families through the monthly activities they have planned. My son loves his classroom and we are usually there at least ½ an hour in the early evening, painting, reading books or playing in the play-​yard. If you are looking for a loving, child-​centered preschool for your little one, I highly recommend Maranatha Child Development Center.
