La Mirada Area Preschool Recommendations

Hi Mamas out there!

We're going to be moving to La Mirada in a couple months. I want to find a preschool for my 3yr old son, which he can begin attending ASAP. We are going to be doing quite a bit of remodeling as soon as we move, so it would be great for him to have his own place for attention and play during this time. We are also expecting #2 in July, and I REALLY want him to be in a preschool by that time, so again, he can go each day and get his own time, away from his little sister. I figure that will also help me out, in my balance act! ;)

We are going to be living on the east side (I believe), near Biola University. I have family in Fullerton, so am comfortable with a preschool in the La Habra or Fullerton area as well. I'm looking for a creative environment, but with some structure. My son is very structure oriented (things have to be done the same way each time), so I don't want a free for all type setting. However, I don't want him attending toddler bootcamp either! LOL!

Also worth noting: this will be his first preschool/daycare experience - he's never been in ANY group organized settings. He has learned his socialization skills thru interactions w/my friends that have kids, and his cousins (all close in age). He will be joining a toddler soccer team in a few weeks, but the program is only 6 or 8 weeks long.

Any recommendations are appreciated, as I'm at loss with where to start. Thank you in advance, for your feedback!
