The questions families ask us most.

Early Learning Academy
In-person · Ages 3–5 · Irvine, CA
We're open Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 5:30 pm. Arrival and pick-up are flexible within those hours, so the day can fit around your work schedule.
We serve children ages three to five. Children should be potty-trained or very close — we're happy to talk through where your child is if you're unsure.
Class size is capped at 14 children, enforced by state licensing. We run between 1:1, 1:4, and 1:7 depending on the activity, tightening the ratio for instruction and one-on-one work and opening it up for play — so support arrives where a child actually needs it.
Tuition is $1,750 per month for five full days per week. There are no hidden fees for snacks or materials.
Morning and afternoon snacks are provided. Lunch comes from home — you know what your child likes to eat and the nutrition you want for them better than we do.
Drop-off and one-on-one learning from 7:00, a literacy block at 9:00, snack, free play, a mathematics block at 11:15, lunch, nap or quiet rotations, then art and free play until pick-up. See the full daily schedule →
