About Us

Proudly Serving Irvine, Mission Viejo and Orange County Communities!

We believe that children are meant to “shine like stars in the universe”. We are united in our commitment to helping every child shine brightly in all areas of child development. We encourage you to see our facilities and visit our classrooms contacting us! 

School-Readiness. We have a developmental approach to preparing your child for their elementary school years. Not only will they learn, but more importantly, they will learn to love learning. We view their daily experiences as opportunities to discover. They won’t just memorize their ABCs, they will finish our school with a desire to “put it all together.”

Character Development. “As a tree is planted, so shall it grow.” We know that if we work together with the parents to develop important character qualities at this young age that they will stick for their whole life. We do our part to help the children learn such things as telling the truth, respecting authority and being willing to try new things. These qualities, planted at an early age, will bear fruit for a lifetime.

Social Development. As our planet becomes more and more of a social network, our children benefit from developing these abilities at an early age. At our preschool your child will learn to share, to work out conflicts and to cooperate with others. Learning to socialize outside of the immediate family prepares children to comfortably adapt as they go forward in life.

Shining Stars Christian Preschool admits students of any race, color, and national and ethnic origin.

Pamela Mammen

I have been working at Shining Stars for the past 6 years and I love it! I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Communications (focusing on event planning) from Cal State Fullerton. I love creating, decorating and organizing events. My favorite part of the day is when I am greeted by the children as I go from class to class- the kids say hi and give great hugs. I really do believe in the children and want them all to be successful and do really well in school. I have two children of my own that both attended school here. I firmly believe God has paced me here and that even though my little ones are older, my role here is to continue to help making this school great and to glorify God with it.
