The real-time video, photos, and daily updates through their app gave us constant visibility into activities, meals, and my child's day-to-day routine. The teachers and administrative staff were consistently warm and welcoming. My child attended from age 2 until nearly 5, and in that time we went through potty training, enjoyed summer camps, and grew so much under the care of the teachers, all of whom are adored. Thank you to the entire Tutor Time staff for creating such a nurturing environment for our kiddo.

We've been part of the Tutor Time family since my daughter was about 5 months old until she was…read moreabout 2.5 years and we've truly loved every stage of her journey here. From the infant room to early preschool, every teacher has shown so much care, patience, and dedication. Our son is now attending, and it already feels like a second home for him too. As a mother who was anxious about his bottle feeding, I'm so grateful for the patience and understanding the teachers have shown. Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Nadia, Ms. Suez, and Ms. Bea have been incredibly supportive and nurturing, helping him adjust and making me feel reassured that he is eating throughout the day. We love how every teacher invests in our children's growth- emotionally, socially, and academically. The front staff (Cynthia, Jennifer, and Deepal) are always welcoming, organized, and helpful. Each classroom has been a wonderful experience: Infants: Ms. Nadia, Ms. Suez, and Ms. Bea are so nurturing and gentle. They also take the cutest photos and will sometimes do cute activities with the little ones. Toddlers: Ms. Afsie, Ms. Hoda, Ms. Elizabeth, and Ms. Allison has helped our daughter discover a love for circle time, books, and music. Twos: Ms. Nasima encouraged her to try new foods, enjoy creative crafts, and led lots of fun physical activities. She also took care of potty training which was a lifesaver! Early Preschool: Ms. Rena has brought learning to life with songs, dancing, alphabet lessons, and teaching the days and months of the year. She also has picnic days during the summer, which my daughter would always talk about. She would bring home the cutest crafts which are displayed throughout the home. Tutor Time also makes things so easy for parents. From the toddler class onward, they provide meals, snacks, and even diapers, which is such a huge help. They also offer camera access and a parent app that makes it simple to communicate with teachers and stay updated throughout the day -- such a thoughtful touch for busy parents! I apologize if I missed any other teachers who have been a part of my child's academic and personal growth. We truly appreciate every one of you! We've had such a positive experience and can't wait to see how our second child grows and thrives here, too. Tutor Time has truly been a wonderful part of our family's early years!

Thank you again for making me feel comfortable being away from my child while at work and for caring for her beyond my expectations. Thanks so much for being so passionate about teaching young children. I cannot thank you enough for your influence on my child's growth and success. You always make my daughter feel comfortable and happy at school. You're awesome teachers Ms. Inoka, Ms. Martha, Ms. Debra (also Ms. Rosie, Ms. Meghna and Ms. Diana). You are a blessing to not only kids but to working parents. I was impressed with the amount of patience and love they showed for my daughter to settle down. I would highly recommend this preschool.

She is showered with care everyday and you can tell the owner (Ms. Inoka) genuinely loves all of the children and what she does. All of the other teachers are also incredibly loving. Each time at pickup, our daughter is beaming and has clearly had a great day. She is exposed to different kinds of foods (all of which is provided and included in the tuition cost) and is very healthy. The teachers host really endearing events for Mothers Day and Fathers Day and other celebrations too. All in all, I would highly recommend enrolling your child if there's space available, which is pretty rare.

From day one, the staff have been incredibly kind and attentive. The facility is always clean and well organized which gives us peace of mind. One of my favorite things is they send daily photo updates of our daughter. It's a thoughtful touch that helps us feel connected to her day, even when we're at work. She seems happy here and it's amazing to watch her grow more socializing and learning with other children each week. I recommend this daycare to other parents looking for a safe, supportive, learning type environment for your little one.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at The Goddard School of Tustin!…read moreFrom the very beginning, everyone made us feel so welcome, and the teachers have been incredibly kind, patient, and caring. We feel especially lucky that our daughter had Miss Fariba and Miss Taraneh as her teachers. Since they speak her native language, they gave her a wonderful sense of comfort and familiarity that made her transition so much easier. We were honestly amazed by how quickly she adjusted. Within just one week, she felt completely comfortable and happy. As parents, there's nothing more reassuring than seeing your child genuinely excited to go to school every day. We are also extremely impressed with the educational program. The curriculum is engaging, age-appropriate, and thoughtfully designed. Every day our daughter comes home having learned something new through fun, creative, and hands-on activities. It's clear that the school focuses not only on helping children feel loved and safe but also on encouraging their curiosity, confidence, and development. Thank you, Miss Fariba, Miss Taraneh, and the entire team at The Goddard School of Tustin for creating such a warm, loving, and enriching environment. We are truly grateful and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a place where their child will feel safe, happy, loved, and inspired to learn.

We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of The Goddard School of Tustin. This school has exceeded…read moreour expectations in every way, and the teachers in particular are getting five stars--if not more. The owner, Ms Preeti, and Director, Ms Chelsea, are truly exceptional. They are often walking the halls, checking in on classrooms, and are always approachable, warm, and genuinely invested in the community. Each month there are engaging activities for both children and parents, creating a strong sense of connection and involvement. We are especially grateful for our teachers Ms. Tahareh and Ms. Fariba. Every day we are greeted with warmth and excitement. They go above and beyond and are incredibly dedicated educators. The curriculum is thoughtful, STEAM-focused, and always engaging. They always give detailed updates and share many photos that show how much they care about the kids. After just a few months, we were amazed to receive a large box filled with all of the crafts and activities completed--it was incredible to see the growth in just a few months! We also love the small cultural touches woven into the classroom experiences, along with hands-on learning like their class garden, where children help grow and harvest vegetables. Additional highlights include visits from real-life professionals (such as dentists, doctors, and even a beekeeper!), opportunities for parent involvement, and the convenience of provided snacks and optional hot lunch. The facilities are clean and modern, and the shaded outdoor playground offers plenty of space for children to run and play. We couldn't ask for a better environment for our child!

Corporate support - consistent with feedback from other parents, my opinion is that corporate…read more(based out of state) is out of touch with the needs of our community. Excessive focus on profit and lack of flexibility has resulted in their inability to retain talented teachers due to compensation and it is causing disruptions to the care for the children. The other two Great Foundation Montessori schools in Irvine (part of the same corporation I believe) have also seen declining rating on Yelp, and it appears to be a systemic problem. Unless corporate is serious about changing their approach, this will be a revolving door for the teachers and administrative staff. Take care of the community and the people will take care of your business. (rating corporate support as 3 stars) Great Foundation Montessori Tustin - The current administrative staff has brought some stability over the past six months and I am cautiously optimistic based on what I have observed. Staff is open to feedback from parents and has implemented some positive changes. Current administrative staff and teachers are dedicated to this line of work and is doing everything they can to provide excellent care. It's not an easy job, and I admire the effort they've put in. Overall a very nice facility. (rating the staff and teachers as 4 to 4.5 stars)

She has navigated COVID with grace and care while prioritizing the health and safety of both the kids and staff. My 2yr old daughter was excluded for a few weeks during the height of Omicron and when she returned to school, she ran up to Ms. Iris and gave her a hug. That gave me so much reassurance that my daughter is both safe and happy at this center! I also appreciate that they keep you updated on meals, activities, potty stops, etc through the app. Also, my daughter has some special medical needs and they have never treated us like an inconvenience. Lastly, I have been blown away by how much my daughter's vocabulary has expanded. She is speaking well beyond my expectations. It's great to see her blossoming and engaging with her environment with curiosity and an eagerness to be independent. Overall, this has been a wonderful experience and I'm so glad we found this center :)

Final review for this location. I recently transferred my…read moreson to a different location. It was an easy decision to make after the lack of communication the staff had with dad and I and amongst themselves on multiple occasions. I do wish the team at this location had more communication with one another and better training in urgent situations. Overall my son got multiple bite marks in his early years here, a cracked elbow, and most recently 5 stitches to his chin after being pushed by another child during play time. Accidents do happen but the way incidents always got minimized or met with lack of urgency and reports hardly matched what was described verbally is what really sucked. I did have some teachers who I liked and really liked that it was Spanish and English being taught at times. But overall I wouldn't recommend this location to family or friends. There's room for improvement and accountability at this location.

My daughter attended here the past 6 months. Our experience has been great thus far…read more Pros: separate classrooms for different age groups, some places we tour only have dividers between the classes. The facility is clean and well kept. Teachers were all very sweet and accommodating, she comes home singing new songs and dances. They provide lunch and snacks so I didn't have to pack, which was great. She usually comes home with a new hairstyle nearly everyday, which is amazing since she would never sit still long enough for me to do her hair, it takes some serious skills and patience to do her hair as well as her teachers did, thank you. Cons: there really isn't much. Most notably though being the camera. It was a big selling point for me, but the images often are very blurry, could hardly make out which one is my child, has to put colorful bows in her hair just to pick her out from the crowd. Even then, can't really tell whether she's laughing, upset. Just a blurry figure. Another cons being that they consolidate the classes later in the evening without really giving a proper sign out to the other teachers. It seldom happens, but a few times I've picked up my child and there's a bruise or some sort of injuries, which happens and expected since she's a toddler, but kinda upsetting when I ask what happened and the teacher kinda shrugged and said she didn't watch her earlier so has no idea. Overall though we enjoy our time here and would definitely still considers kiddie academy.
