If you found this page, there's a good chance you're an Orange County parent — maybe in Irvine, maybe in Newport Beach, maybe in one of the forty-something cities that make up this county — and you are done trying to figure out potty training on your own.
We get that.
The Potty School's home base is Orange County. We live here. Our kids go to school here. We've worked with families from Seal Beach to San Clemente, from Yorba Linda to Laguna Beach, and a whole lot of places in between. When we say we serve Orange County, we mean it in the actual sense — not as a keyword, but as a neighborhood.
Here's what working with us looks like.
We're potty training consultants. Not parenting coaches, not general child development advisors — we specialize in this one transition, entirely.
What that means for you: we've seen a lot. The child who's been "almost trained" for eight months. The child who does great at home and completely falls apart at daycare. The child whose school has given the family a deadline. The child with autism or Down syndrome or sensory processing differences whose pediatrician keeps saying "just wait."
We don't say "just wait."
We work with you — the parent, the caregiver, the person who actually has to implement this — to build a plan that fits your child, your schedule, and your household. Not a generic three-day method. Not a chart you downloaded at 11 PM. A real plan, with a real person walking you through it.
In-Home Consultations — one of our consultants comes to your home. You do the training; we stand beside you and tell you exactly what to do at each step. This is our concierge service, and it's particularly powerful because your child is learning in their own environment with their own equipment and their own routines.
In-home support starts at $3,750 for one full day (7 hours). Because we're local, there's no travel friction — we can often be more flexible on scheduling for Orange County families than for out-of-area bookings.
Virtual Consultations — phone or video, one-on-one. Same personalized approach, same trained consultants, without us needing to be in the room. This works well for most families, and it's how we serve clients everywhere outside of Southern California too.
Consultation calls start at $282 for a 45-minute new client session.
Membership — Diapers to Flush, our online membership, gives you 24/7 access to courses, a community of families going through the same thing, and Q&A sessions. Starting at $45/month. A good fit if you want ongoing support between consultations or prefer to start there.

Most families who find us aren't starting from scratch. They've already tried. Here's what we see most often:
Training that stalled. Everything was going fine and then it just... stopped. No clear reason. The child isn't refusing exactly, but they're also not progressing. We help you find the gap.
Accidents that won't stop. The child is technically trained but having accidents often enough that school is frustrated, parents are exhausted, and everyone is starting to wonder if something is wrong. (Usually nothing is wrong. Usually something specific needs adjusting.)
A deadline. Preschool, kindergarten, a program — there's a date by which your child needs to be trained and it's coming up faster than you'd like. We work well under those conditions.
A child with specific needs. Autism, Down syndrome, sensory processing differences, speech delays, global developmental delays. These children can be potty trained — often more fully and sooner than families have been told to expect. This work is actually where The Potty School started, and it's something we're specifically trained for.
Special situations. A child who travels constantly, a co-parenting household, a child who's been through a significant transition. Potty training doesn't happen in a vacuum, and we account for what's actually going on in your family.
Watch a testimonial from an OC resident here:
We're not hopping on a plane to get to you. That means we're well-rested, we can be flexible with timing, and for summer months — when OC families book fast — being local gives you a real scheduling advantage. We reserve certain high-priority summer weeks specifically for Orange County and San Francisco clients.
If spring is on your radar, April and May are the ideal time to get on the calendar before summer fills up.
