The Goddard School Tustin

We've had a wonderful experience at The Goddard School! Our son is in the Cozy Cocoons infant room, and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives.

The teachers—Ms. Esmeralda, Ms. Araceli, Ms. Lan, and Ms. Ana—are all so warm and attentive. They truly care about each child and make the classroom feel like a second home.

We're also impressed by how many activities they offer, even for infants. Our son is always engaged and learning something new. Highly recommend!

Our son has been with this school since its opening day in 2024, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Currently in the Peppy Pandas class with Ms. Cheryl, he has also flourished under the care of Ms. Sulema, Ms. Elizabeth, and Ms. Evelyn.
The consistency across the teachers is truly impressive—every educator we’ve encountered has been dedicated, professional, and genuinely kind. The facilities are brand new, impeccably maintained, and always clean. We especially love the curriculum; it provides a perfect balance of academics, hands-on experiential learning, social development, and physical activity. We couldn't ask for a better environment for our son!

We’ve had such a great experience with the Goddard School of Tustin. I was nervous about sending my child to preschool as he had never been away from me, but the teachers made us feel comfortable right away. The activities are creative and fun, he’s learning so much, and the teachers and staff are all amazing and truly go above and beyond. The building is clean and new, and it’s clear they really care about the kids.

After relocating from Korea to the U.S., we spent an enormous amount of time and effort searching for the right preschool for our son, Sean. We toured countless schools and carefully compared the pros and cons of each one. In the end, we realized that none of them could compare to The Goddard School of Tustin—and enrolling our child here was absolutely the right decision.

From the very beginning, the warmth, passion, and professionalism of the staff stood out. Director Preeti and Ms. Chelsea are truly exceptional. Their dedication, kindness, and genuine care for the children are unmatched. The school’s facilities are spotless, extremely safe, and thoughtfully designed for young children.

One feature we especially love is the indoor playground, which is equipped with sun-shade coverings and soft turf flooring—providing a safe, clean, and comfortable...

We started our baby at Goddard when they first opened, and we have had the most positive experience. We toured other centers but this one was the most friendly, clean and organized and after being with them for 1.5 years we love them!

Our baby started in the infant classroom with Ms. Elizabeth, Ms. Claudia, (assistant Ms. Kaitlyn), and at the time because it was new he almost had 1:1 ratio attention. Since then he has moved up classrooms to Cuddly Cubs 2 with Ms. Nina, Ms. Irma, (and assistants Ms. Fariba, Ms. Bri), and now he’s in Bouncy Bears 2 with Ms. Cintia and Ms. Tahereh. The classroom ratios are still small and it feels like a family. All the teachers and assistants are amazing, knowledgeable and caring. He has grown so much with their help, they teach him new skills, and they are always doing fun, engaging, and creative activities together. He naps so well there...

My son is in Cozy Cacoons, the infant classroom since late September. It has been an amazing experience. The teachers Mses Esmeralda, Araceli, Lan and Ana are incredible at their job and are very caring and nurturing. My son is increíble happy there and compared to a prior Montessori school The Goddard school has been AMAZING!!! The administration Ms. Chelsea an owner Pareti are also very incredible and easy to work with. We are so thankful this school exist and the caliber of their staff is amazing. Thank you very much for taking excellent care of my son.

As a first-time mom, the idea of sending my infant to daycare was nerve-wracking. I toured a few different places, but Goddard immediately stood out. From the moment I walked in, the nurturing atmosphere was clear. The children looked happy, comfortable, and genuinely excited to be with their teachers. That gave me the confidence to enroll my daughter, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made.

The teachers are truly wonderful. They are caring, attentive, and supportive not only to the babies, but to parents as well. Like most babies, my daughter went through an adjustment period during the first couple of weeks, but Ms. Leticia, Ms. Tess, Ms. Tori, and Ms. Jennifer were so thoughtful in helping her transition. My daughter quickly learned that Goddard is a safe and loving space for her. Now she is absolutely thrilled to go to daycare each morning and see...

The Goddard School of Tustin is a great school. My kids started attending when it opened in 2024. Ms. Preeti and Ms. Chelsea are always so helpful and knowledgeable. My kids come home happy everyday, full of stories from their daily activities. The teachers genuinely care for the well being of every kid. My kids are always telling us that they love all the teachers and classes, in particular, Ms. Nina, Ms. Irma, Ms. Bri, Ms. Fariba, Ms. Adrianna, Ms. Maria, Ms. Prisila, Ms. Sulema, Ms. Elizabeth, Ms. Evelyn and Ms. Cheryl. Since joining, our children have learned so much, but most importantly, they are happy. We couldn’t ask for a better environment for their growth and joy.

We have had a great experience at The Goddard School of Tustin. Our child is in the Bouncy Bears room and truly loves going to school each day.

The leadership team does a great job creating a warm, well run environment, and communication has been solid from day one. We always feel confident that our child is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Mrs. Tahereh and Mrs. Cintia are amazing teachers. They are kind, patient, and genuinely care about the kids. It is clear how much effort and love they put into their classroom, and it shows in how comfortable and excited the kids are.

We are very happy with our experience and would absolutely recommend Goddard Tustin to other families.

We enrolled our daughter back in August into Bouncy Bears 2 classroom. The school is beautiful and brand new which was a plus for us. We are seasoned Goodard school parents as our older two attended the Lake Forest location. With them being full we chose to enroll at the Tustin location and I couldn't be happier and our daughter is happy to go school. Her teachers, Mrs. Tahereh and Mrs. Cintia have shown our daughter the upmost respect, kindness, loving and nurturing environment we could have asked for. Thank you Goodard School of Tustin for all your hard work in making our children feel safe and loved while learning.
