My kids used to go to Rainbow Rising and now go to the kids club. They like the kids club better because it's more fun. I like it better because it's more flexible. You only need to pay for the days that they need care.

26 in my daughter's 1st grade class; 28 in her kinder class last year.

Not sure which Irvine after school care yours is, but our after school care cost at Rsinbow Rising for kinders was $725 per month last year.  The difference between the Montessori and public school was only about $450 for us.  I did not factor in the extracurricular activities because the level...

Mondays and Tuesdays at Macaroni Grill.

I am considering all-day summer camps offered by IPSF, Rainbow Raising (my 5 yr old currently goes to their afterschool daycare), and Karis (Chinese immersion program).  Does anyone have experience with any of these camps?

My coworker, who lives in Foothill Ranch, told me that one of the neighbors on her street killed his stepmother with an ax about 2-3 years ago, so there is at least one violent crime in recent years in Foothill Ranch.

The kids rooms share a wall.  When we are in one room, we can hear everything in the other room.  One of the rooms is adjacent to the laundry room, so the noise from there would be reduced too if the walls are more insulated.  Hearing movements upstairs when one of us is downstairs is another...

How much is the builder charging? We didn't do the insulation upgrade. I wish we did.

Aquabliss - I just saw the photo of your wood like tile floor and really like it.  Do you mind telling me the brand/name of the tile, and how wide the the grout is?  Thanks.

Haha...the "unishutters" on that house look ridiculous.  Were they not able to find two shutters with the right size and decided to just install one with the wrong size?

Are you planning to never let your kids invite their school friends over?  Because when they do, the friends and parents will find out and might say something to others.  Besides, this is not exactly setting a good example for your kids.  How would you explain to them why they go to school in...

Check out Spectrum Montessori in their Woodbury location.  My son goes there and we are very happy with the school.  There is also Great Foundation, which has a campus near Irvine Boulevard and Yale and another campus in the Woodbury Town Center.

No, I don't live there.  I just think homes in that particular tract has a much better curb appeal than most of the motorcourt homes being built in Irvine these days - simply speaking from an aesthetic standpoint.

I like that development in PS. Those homes have a nice design. They are only attached at the garage. The neighborhood has a relaxed feel. It's located adjacent to open space so it doesn't feel claustrophobic like a lot of North Irvine neighborhoods with similarly priced homes. The decent sized...

Agree with Woodburyowner - an authentic Italian restaurant would be nice.
