    Lambert Ranch in Irvine

    I'm not an environmental engineer, but I did ask some landfill engineers about living next to this particular landfill.  I won't pretend to be able to repeat their technical jargon but they said that there is no risk of methane gas from this landfill because of the way it's run and the way the...

    Lambert Ranch in Irvine

    All of the islands in the models have been extended by about 11/2 feet so that they allow bar stool seating below.  Even without the extensions, the islands are massive.  I love them!

    No, I'm not sure.  I did hear they were moving classes over though.

    Private school advice

    From what I understand, Le Port is building a new facility near Irvine Spectrum (to be opened this Fall) and will be moving its existing Lake Forest campus to that location, which goes up to 8th grade.  They will also be closing the San Marino/Lake facility and eventually moving that into the...

    Private school advice

    You should look into Pegasus in Huntington Beach or St Margaret's Episcopal in San Juan Capistrano.  They are both top private schools and seem to be a little more "balanced" as compared to Fairmont which has a heavy focus on academics.  Most people commute to these schools and although it...

    Lambert Ranch in Irvine

    Does anyone have any articles or proof that talk about the ancient burial site that Lambert Ranch is suppose to be built next to?  I've read a lot of discussion about this but only on this site.  Is it just a rumor?? Thanks!

    Starting daycare...

    I agree, with Northwood Montessori, you need to be very proactive and call and call and call.  If they just happen to have a spot available, they'll pull someone that's not next on the wait list.  I've seen them make exceptions time and time again so you never know what will happen.  Also...

    Starting daycare...

    Try calling the Northwood Montessori in Irvine.  If you are on their wait list and ready right now (maybe even explain what happened), they may make an exception.  We've been there for 5 years now with our kids and would never even imagine something like what you experienced happening.  I'm so...

    Degrading Woodbury Schools

    I think Woodbury elementary is an exception.  All the other Irvine elementary schools near new communities have been taking turns under the top Irvine school rankings list.  I too live in Woodbury but will be sending my children to private elementary school.  My alternative was Stonegate, which...

    Interested in Private Schools?

    Has anyone considered sending their kids to private school through 3rd grade and then letting them test into a GATE or APAAS program for 4th and beyond?  I'd prefer not to send my kids to private school but I'm concerned with the high student to teacher ratios in lower grade elementary...
