  We couldn't be happier with our experience at The Goddard School of Tustin! From the time we enrolled our daughter when she was 14 months old, we've been impressed by the caring environment and exceptional staff. While it took our daughter a few weeks to adjust to her new surroundings, she now thoroughly enjoys attending school each day. Her teachers in the Cuddly Cubs class—Ms. Irina, Ms. Deanna, and Ms. Preeti—are simply wonderful and take such great care of her. We're also grateful for the warm and attentive leadership of owner Ms. Preeti Patel and director Chelsea Roe, who have created a truly nurturing atmosphere. The facility itself is outstanding: new, clean, modern, and perfectly equipped for babies and young children. The location offers plenty of easy parking in a nice open area, which makes drop-off and pick-up stress-free. Speaking of which, the flexible scheduling for drop-off and pick-up times has been incredibly convenient for our family. One of our favorite features is the school's app, which provides daily summaries, photos, and updates about our daughter's day. It's both fun and useful to stay connected with what she's learning and experiencing. We highly recommend The Goddard School of Tustin to any family looking for quality childcare!

  Goddard has been our daughters first daycare and I'll admit I was nervous about leaving her for so long for the first time and was anxious to find the right place. Chelsea was so wonderful and communicative during the first few weeks as both my daughter and I adjusted to spending our days apart. She welcomed me to call and check in any time and she'd immediately get a report on how my daughter was doing. The teachers were warm and welcoming and it wasn't long before my daughter was happily going off to school each morning. I really appreciate the photos and updates they send out on the app multiple times every single day and look forward to seeing what my daughter is up to. The curriculum is a fantastic blend of social skills, emotional skills, practical skills, and school readiness and I can see my daughter learning a growing and making friends. She talks about school all the time and is always happy about it. I'm really happy that we found the right fit for our daughter and our family.

  Our experience with Goddard’s Cuddly Cubs 1 classroom has been outstanding. Ms. Deanna, Ms. Irina, and Ms. Preeti are exceptional teachers who bring warmth, patience, and genuine care into the classroom every day. They take the time to understand each child’s needs and personality, and they consistently create a nurturing environment that supports both emotional and developmental growth. We really appreciate the thoughtful communication, the structured yet playful activities, and the gentle guidance they provide throughout the day. Our child absolutely loves coming to school and has grown so much in confidence, social skills, and curiosity. As parents, it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing our little one is surrounded by teachers who treat the children with kindness and respect. We’re deeply grateful for everything the Cuddly Cubs 1 team does. Thank you, Ms. Deanna, Ms.Irina, and Ms. Preeti, for being such a positive part of our child’s early years!

  Goddard is our son's first daycare and naturally we were nervous about leaving him in the care of others at first. However, it did not take long for us to know that we made the right choice with Goddard when a few weeks in, he exclaimed on the car ride home "I love school!" The facility is new, the cleanliness is top notch, the curriculum is stimulating, and the staff are all very warm and professional. Mrs. Preeti is both personable and professional and extremely dedicated to running an excellent daycare. Mrs. Chelsea is lovely and does a great job communicating with parents. Most of all, our son's two teachers - Mrs. Cintia and Mrs. Tahereh are absolutely WONDERFUL. We can tell that they truly love children and have a way with teaching the kids in a patient yet firm manner. Our son has learned so much from his teachers and often surprises us with the new things he has learned, such as counting from 1 to 10 in Spanish. We are beyond happy with our experience at Goddard and would recommend to any parents looking for a daycare. The app that they use is also great and we look forward to the daily picture updates.

  My daughter has had an amazing experience with Ms Tahereh. She is incredibly attentive and caring, and you can tell she genuinely knows and understands each child in her class. My daughter always talks about her at home and is excited to go to school, which says everything to me as a parent. She is very patient, gentle, and supportive, and she creates such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment in the classroom. I really appreciate how she communicates with parents, takes the time to share little updates, and pays attention not only to academics but also to the kids’ emotional well‑being and confidence. I’d also like to mention how much I appreciate the owner and director of the school. They are kind, professional, and responsive, and it’s clear they care deeply about the children and the families they serve. The school is always clean, organized, and welcoming, and I feel very comfortable leaving my child there each day. Overall, we are extremely grateful for Ms Tahereh and the entire team. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for a loving and supportive environment for their child.
