Fast forward to now, I was always surprised with what he learned from school. He just turned 4 and he can read a little bit of 3 letter words and simple adding. He really liked his teachers and made friends. The staff have been so accommodating to our family's schedule as we had to stop school here and there and change days. They are super easy to work with and understanding. I would definitely recommend having your kids attend this school. The tuition is also very reasonable compared to other schools.

Our son attended Newport Ave Preschool for two years (from age 3 to 5) and we have nothing but…read morewonderful memories of his time there. We wanted him to take his next steps with learning and experience things beyond what we could offer him at home. He got exactly that and then some. His teachers did a fantastic job getting him through the Pre-K and TK curricula; we still have a lot of his old school work showing how much he had learned and how much practice he had gotten. He would frequently speak fondly of his last teacher, Ms. Jackie, as well as the friends he played with at school. There was a classmate he would refer to as "Melon" that we think was his best friend and we thought it was so cute. We'd like to give our thanks to all of his teachers - Ms. Jackie, Ms. Emily, Ms. Nikki, and Ms. Bella! He really enjoyed the variety of extra curricular activities offered at Newport Ave, like dance, music, soccer (his favorite), arts and crafts, and taekwondo (his other favorite). As parents, some of our favorite things include the winter holiday performances, the picture updates on Remind showing what everyone is up to throughout the day, and the final letters from all the teachers he had connected with over the years. Ms. Mayra was a pleasure to talk to when dropping him off in the morning, as were the other teachers when picking him up at the gate. Communication over the Remind app is super simple and responses tend to be very quick. Since starting kindergarten, Nate has become a top performer in his class, and we believe Newport Ave Preschool deserves a great deal of the credit for that. We're so grateful for everything this school gave him.

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.

This is a wonderful preschool. My son looked forward to going to school everyday that he went here…read more He was very sad to leave to go to a new school for Kindergarten. Now I'm taking my daughter here and she loves her mommy and me class. She wakes up everyday wanting to go to school even though the class for her age is only one day a week. Also, one of the teachers here, her name is Mrs Bennett, is an angel of a teacher. Even after my son left to go to kindergarten, she got in touch with me to ask how his first day went on the first day of school! She cares about the kids and is so kind. She sets the bar for what a good teacher is and I'm so happy my daughter will get to eventually have her as her teacher too!! I would definitely recommend this preschool!

We have seen changes with leadership, communication, policies, teachers, and general day-to-day flow. There are great teachers who you know truly care, love, nurture, protect, advocate, and educate a child about Christ's love! Even if you're not a believer, the teacher's actions will radiate Him. Childcare is neither easy nor cheap. Shepherding a child, no matter what age, takes a person's time, mind, hand, and resources. A parent should truly make a sound decision, with that as a backdrop, prior to enrolling anywhere. Please do your due diligence and explore other schools to find the right fit for you and your family. I pray for Grace Harbor to excel and serve the community even if drastic changes need to be made. With love + God bless y'all, Albert

Grace Harbor has been such a blessing for our family. It has truly been the best place for our son…read more He is always excited to go to daycare and absolutely adores his teachers. The teachers are incredibly caring and intentional--spending meaningful time with him as he learns, explores, and discovers new things each day. We also love that Grace Harbor incorporates Bible-based lessons and sends home the cutest artwork that we treasure. Knowing our child is loved, supported, and growing in such a positive environment gives us complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Grace Harbor to any parent looking for a nurturing and faith-centered daycare for their baby.

If your childcare search has been like mine, you've probably already shopped around and tried this…read moreand that, but I'm glad to tell you that you probably don't need to search any further! I'll start by saying that our experience ( and this review) will primarily be focused on the toddler and upper rooms ( zazzy zebra, dazzling dolphins, and the preppy pandas). The classroom layout for all the rooms is made very thoughtfully with each part of the classroom designated for a specific type of play/ learning. My son is now in the pre-k room and still one of his favorite spots to hang out is the reading area! The rooms are adequately staffed so it doesn't seem like there are too many kids to teachers, and supervision doesn't seem to be a problem either Oh, and another nice touch is that they have a washer and dryer unit on site that they regularly use! While my son was potty training, we didn't have to bring home bagged up dirty undies which honestly was very nice. The main thing that I like about this school is the daily report and daily photos they send to the app. It's makes it so easy to see how your kid is doing and also a great way to talk about their day during pick up ! The price for the school is for sure on the higher end, but I do feel that they are 100% worth every penny!

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.

My son has been attending Edgewood Preprimary Academy for almost a year, and he is always so happy…read moreevery day! His teacher, Mrs. Barajas, is incredibly patient and energetic. My son loves her very much. Even though English is not his first language, she always finds great ways to communicate with him and has helped him tremendously in learning English. The Director, Mrs. Mauro, is very responsible and caring. She knows every single child well and takes time with parents to discuss each child's growth and needs. With the cooperation between the school and parents, children truly get the best support to grow. Edgewood also offers a variety of fun activities and even field trips, which both we and our child really enjoy. Before choosing Edgewood, I toured many daycares and preschools in Irvine and Tustin. What impressed me the most about Edgewood is the amazing student-teacher ratio. Their teachers are always energetic, passionate, and have been working here for many years -- the turnover rate is very low. If you are looking for a school with small class sizes where teachers can give more attention to each child and really get to know them, Edgewood is the best choice. The teachers here truly love every child. And beyond all that, the school offers excellent value for the quality of education provided in this area -- something that makes us appreciate our choice even more.

My 3-year-old son attends Edgewood Preprimary Academy, and I couldn't be happier with this school…read more All of the teachers here truly love children and show so much patience and care. I want to especially highlight Mrs. Mauro, the Director, and Mrs. Barajas, my son's classroom teacher. Mrs. Mauro is a very responsible and attentive leader. She knows every child well and communicates with parents in a smooth and timely way. Whenever there's a question or concern, she addresses it right away, which gives me so much peace of mind. Mrs. Barajas is incredibly gentle and patient. My son is quite energetic and not the easiest little one to guide, but she always takes the time to teach him with kindness and understanding. I'm truly grateful for her dedication. As a parent, it makes me feel very fortunate to have such supportive and caring educators helping me on the journey of raising my child. Edgewood is truly a wonderful place for young children to learn and grow.

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!
