In my opinion, the absolute WORST school in Orange County. BEWARE. Our son was in Preschool and we pulled him out of the school after several troubling incidents. Son came home with bruises on his head on this first day of school. Son also came home stating Ms. Banker (the preschool director) was ""mad"" at him. This should not be a concern of a 3 year old child and call the parent, don't scare the child. The final straw was when Ms. Banker suggested we hire a ""shadow"" for our 3 year old son b/c he was not listening like the other children. Well, Ms. Banker... Since pulling him out of St. Anne's and placing him into a healthy environment, he is not only happy, he is academically ahead of his peers rating #1 in his class. Note to St. Annes: Not all kids fit into a square box. They are all different and that is the beauty of children.
Lastly, I would like to warn potential parents of the St. Annes ethics. After they basically gave us no choice but to take our son out this their school, they proceeded to charge our credit card for the entire year tuition. He attended the school less than 4ths. This is a school that promotes good ethics and Christian teaching? Practice what you preach St. Anne's!!
All I can say is that taking him OUT was worth every penny they took from us. Contacted John Casato, the Principal (twice) regarding our dissatisfaction. He promised us a call back to discuss further. To this day, NOTHING.
Spend your child's education money elsewhere.
Additionally, this school is located in Laguna Niguel not Laguna Beach (as stated above)
