At Saint Andrew's Children's Center in Irvine, we believe that each child is special! We welcome all children to the Center.

We are committed to meeting the individual needs of each child, in a nurturing Christian environment that welcomes children of all faiths and focuses on his/her spiritual, emotional, social, physical, and intellectual growth.

The Center strives to create a loving and nurturing environment that instills lifelong curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. The teachers/ caregivers value each individual child’s stage of development and maintain classroom activities that provide challenges for all children.

Saint Andrew's Children's Center believes that basic human values and ethics are universal. We believe that values are learned at home, as well as, in the caregiving / preschool setting. We ask that parents share in teaching their child the following values:

To love one another
To show kindness without judgment
To be accepting and understanding of the differences in one another
To be peacemakers
To be compassionate
To be stewards of all creation
To be role models of these teachings and reach out to others in caring and compassionate ways

We offer a full day program that serves Infants, Toddlers, and Preschool children between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. In addition a small half day program serves children 3 years and older with either the two, three, or five days from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
