My son started at Adventures in Learning (AIL) in Tustin when he was just 2 years old in the…read moretoddler class and continued all the way through the TK class as he prepared for kindergarten. From day one, I was impressed with how well-organized and caring this daycare is!
One of the standout features is the app they use for sign-in, which keeps parents updated throughout the day with pictures, activity descriptions, and insights into how each activity promotes development and learning. They also send out a monthly newsletter detailing the curriculum and upcoming activities. While this location doesn't provide full meals, they do offer milk at lunchtime and are a nut-free facility. They offer different schedules such as part-time, full time, and after-school care (including pick-up from some local schools). They also accept subsidized payment from county programs as well!
The manager, Susana, is absolutely wonderful--always kind, attentive, and ready to address any questions or concerns. It's clear that she takes a genuine, personal interest in the children, families, and teachers, ensuring that the facility runs smoothly and that every child is well cared for.
Safety and communication are top priorities at AIL. Whenever my son had a minor accident--whether it was rough play with friends or an accidental bump--the teachers immediately called me, documented the incident with a photo, applied ice if needed, and reassured me that he was in great hands. They also made a point to provide updates at pickup, letting me know if he had a great day or if there was anything he struggled with.
I've had the pleasure of interacting with Ms. Fabi, Ms. Pam, and Ms. Aissa the most, and I can confidently say that every teacher at AIL is dedicated, hardworking, and truly invested in the children's well-being. Ms. Aissa typically hands off my son to me at the end of the day and by her communication it's clear she is incredibly observant and takes the time to understand the children's unique personalities and needs. Ms. Pam and Ms. Fabi are equally amazing--both are extremely communicative, patient, and supportive, especially during the potty-training stage. They made the process so much easier for my son and me, offering consistent guidance, encouragement, and reminders throughout the day. Their support was invaluable, and I always felt like we were a team in helping him succeed.
When your child spends most of their day at daycare, having peace of mind is priceless--and AIL provides just that. The teachers genuinely care for each child as an individual, making sure they are not only safe but also learning, growing, and having fun every day. I highly recommend Adventures in Learning to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child!
