WHAT WE LOVE: - The teachers have been here for years and have their process down and work with all the kids so well. The kids love all of them! - Competitively priced AND they provide you with 1/2 of the weekly tuition if you're going to be out for the whole week! - They provide breakfast, snack, lunch and afternoon snack! Most kids still pack a few extra snacks, but saves me time, stress and money! You can also bring your own lunch if your kid wants something specific...they post the menu every week. - They open early AND close later than most preschools that I found! This was much needed for me and my husbands work schedule - They have a great outdoor play area for the kids! - My son brings home so many projects he works on and has been learning so much academically as well! - As working parents we don't have a lot of time to do extras...they require very minimal assistance from us! For holiday parties, we can easily sign up to bring things...but no after-school events/performances/spirit weeks where we need to dress up the kids everyday! For us, that works best for our situation and we appreciate it :)

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.

He learned the basic academic things like letters and numbers but also how to behave in a classroom. The teachers make learning fun and are loving towards the kids.

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!

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.

Cold, unwelcoming and dirty playground. I had a tour this…read moreweek, hopeful it was a nice daycare despite the drab outward appearance especially since it was SO close to home. Worst tour experience to date. Full story here: As soon as I get passed the gate I'm asked to put on a mask, all teachers wear them I guess. (Which I wouldn't mind but why wasn't I told about this prior to the tour?) she took my temperature then asked if I was sick, ( I have allergies, hello Spring pollen ). I was taken back to nursery where I could see infants through the window. Decent setup, not amazing but just ok. It smelled like cleaning supplies pretty strong in there so hindsight I'd like to know what they clean with since my daughter would be breathing in those fumes. Toured the outdoor play yard toddlers and infants sections. I was extremely disappointed, it looked dirty. And barely and play equipment in infant area. The fake grass needed to be replaced and there was red tape on floor that seemed to be holding it together. I asked how much to start my daughter at end of February, the response was "it's $1600 a month." Yes I understand that my reply. But asked how much for registration and just for February? How much do I need to put down yo start my daughter. Her reply again was its $1600 a month and February would be prorated. I already knew it was only one week in February which should be $400 plus their registration fee. It took me at least two more times asking how much to start before she walked me inside to get her assistant to figure the prorated amount. While we're waiting on that I ask to meet the teachers in the nursery. Her response was "you can meet them after you pay" Utterly ridiculous! I can't meet my daughters card takers until AFTER I PAY⁉ I said I'm not signing my daughter up without meeting her teachers. Then she said oh, ok let me get them. She walked away but at the point I was done! The place is old, dirty, chemical smelling and director rude, only cares about your money. Not once did she acknowledge my daughter say hi to her at all or make me feel welcome. I told her it's not the right fit for us, we're leaving. Then she asked why and kept trying to stall us asking what went wrong and how to fix it. I told her everything I listed above but she didn't listen and didn't seem to understand what my problem. Maybe it was a language barrier thing on her end but it's 100% NOT something I want to deal with in a daily basis on top if everything else. FINAL NOTE - STAY AWAY. I ended settling on a wonderful in-home daycare I loved for far less. People who actually wanted to meet my daughter. Honestly any of the other daycares I been to would have been better than this place.

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.

This school has exceeded…read moreour 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!

Corporate support - consistent with feedback from other parents, my opinion is that corporate…read more(based out of state) is out of touch with the needs of our community. Excessive focus on profit and lack of flexibility has resulted in their inability to retain talented teachers due to compensation and it is causing disruptions to the care for the children. The other two Great Foundation Montessori schools in Irvine (part of the same corporation I believe) have also seen declining rating on Yelp, and it appears to be a systemic problem. Unless corporate is serious about changing their approach, this will be a revolving door for the teachers and administrative staff. Take care of the community and the people will take care of your business. (rating corporate support as 3 stars) Great Foundation Montessori Tustin - The current administrative staff has brought some stability over the past six months and I am cautiously optimistic based on what I have observed. Staff is open to feedback from parents and has implemented some positive changes. Current administrative staff and teachers are dedicated to this line of work and is doing everything they can to provide excellent care. It's not an easy job, and I admire the effort they've put in. Overall a very nice facility. (rating the staff and teachers as 4 to 4.5 stars)
