The Goddard School Tustin

We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of The Goddard School of Tustin. This school has exceeded our 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!
