Deciding on infant care for our newborn son was a hard thing to do, having to give up our child so young was hard for my wife and I. Nobis made it easy, the second we walked in for a tour we saw the kids playing outdoors having so much fun and we knew this was the place! The price is extremely reasonable for the care, attention, activities, and location. Melinda was very easy to work with, when we thought we'd have to start early she was very helpful working with us on a start date. The teachers are all magnificent and we are so grateful for the care our child gets on a daily basis. GO NOBIS! read more

My toddler has been going here for about 8 months now and she loves it. At drop off she runs with open arms to her teachers and she tells us about her friends when she gets home. Nobis is affordable, in a great location, and has knowledgeable staff. They use an app so we are provided with updates about upcoming events and photos of our toddler. They serve breakfast, lunch, and snack daily so it's super helpful that we don't have to plan and pack meals everyday. Director Melinda is really easy to get ahold of and has always been quick to answer any of our questions. read more

We've been with Nobis Preschool since our son was just four months old, and I can't say enough good things about our experience. As a parent, finding a daycare that you can fully trust is everything--and Nobis has been that place for us. Ms. Melinda, the director, runs the school with such care and professionalism. From day one, she's made us feel welcomed and supported. Our son's teachers--Ms. Masi, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Dani, and Ms. Garcia--are truly exceptional. They genuinely care about his health, happiness, and development. It's clear in everything they do that they are invested in his well-being. They've helped guide him through so many important milestones and have even supported us as parents with helpful insights and encouragement for continuing his progress at home. I also really appreciate the detailed daily updates they provide on naps, feedings, diaper changes, and sweet little moments from his day. It gives us so much peace of mind. Nobis also does a fantastic job planning fun and enriching summer activities--every week brings something new and exciting that our son looks forward to. You can tell the staff puts a lot of heart and thought into making daycare a joyful place to learn and grow. I wholeheartedly recommend Nobis Preschool to any parent looking for a nurturing, high-quality daycare. It's been a wonderful and meaningful part of our family's journey. read more

Absolutely obsessed with Nobis and so is my son! (17 months old). He was having a really difficult time at an in home daycare before this-so we decided to tour Nobis. He is now always reaching for the teachers in the mornings and blows them kisses goodbye at the end of the day! Highly recommend. read more

Nobis was the best decision for our family. What we looked for in a daycare: price, activities, outdoors, teacher and care quality, and attention to details are just a few of the qualities met. Ms. Melinda and the teachers take such great care of and teach and encourage our son to hit his milestones. once I cross the classroom door he is all smiles for his day to start. we are grateful to have him grow along with this care. read more

When I first started looking for daycare options for our daughter I felt like nowhere I could find offered everything we needed, until we found Nobis. We had to start our daughter at 4mo old, so we needed an infant program that offered a part time schedule, which felt impossible to find. Not only did Nobis offer this, the price was also very reasonable, and I got a great feel when we did the initial tour. Over the last 8 months I've been able to see the care they provide and it's evident in the trust my daughter has with her teachers. There has not once been tears for a drop off, and she's happy when we pick her up too. We are grateful to have found Nobis! read more

We love Nobis, both our boys attend. Nobis goes above and beyond when it comes to activities. From fun and creative art projects to outdoor playtime. They've also been amazing with potty training, offering support and encouragement every step of the way. Their summer program is packed with exciting, activities that keep our boys learning and having fun all season long plus they love their teachers. read more

My son has been here since he was 6 months old and the school has been absolutely wonderful to us. I was extremely nervous when we started and my son wouldn't take a bottle but all of the teachers and staff were so patient with us. Ms Melinda has done a wonderful job creating such a fun and warm environment. She's very good about making sure the school is safe and clean. We love this place and it's been fun watching my son flourish! read more

We moved our son to Nobis about three months ago after he was not transitioning well at a different daycare and my friend recommended we try Nobis. At his previous daycare he would cry when I dropped him off, cry when I picked him up, and not nap at all. At Nobis he reaches for his teachers when I drop him off and even waves bye to me with a huge smile. The director Melinda has been very communicative and helpful. She organized a bunch of great activities during the summer session including water play days, dress up days, character visits, and themed weeks all through the summer. She offered so much assistance during the onboarding process and gave us a great tour and was patient with me when I forgot to turn in some forms. All of the teachers are friendly and most importantly you can tell they all really love your kid! Couldn't recommend Nobis more. read more

We LOVE nobis! It's down the street from where we live super convenient. The price for child care was also very affordable compared to most places we checked. They offer a lot of services. Food, water, potty training and lots of learning. Always something new going on every week which we love. Melinda the principal is very sweet and nice she's very busy managing the schools but We will still catch her playing with the kids and checking on them throughout the week and updating us daily you can tell she truly cares about the place and the kids. The twins LOVE their teacher ms. Martinez! She's the best we see her everyday and she sends me updates and photos with the app of how they are doing it. Cannot rave about this place more I highly recommend if looking for a reliable and caring daycare center. read more

Nobis Preschool - Our kids at Nobis - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We switched our daughter to Nobis in the Fall of 2023 from a larger, more commercial care center because we were looking for a more intimate, family-focused, and community-centered experience. Although she was initially placed in the toddler room, the teachers at Nobis advocated for her transition to the preschool room so her communication and play skills could continue to advance. The teachers are very attentive, we appreciate the ratios, and our daughter seems to love her experience there. An added bonus are the family events - Thanksgiving lunch, doughnuts with dad, muffins with mom, Fall Festival, etc. read more

My son has been attending Nobis since April 2023. He started in the infant room and transitioned to the toddler room in September. So far our experience with Nobis has been amazing! The staff are exceptionally friendly and I feel comfortable and confident leaving my son with them. We also love the parent night out Fridays! Our experience with Nobis has been wonderful and I would gladly recommend them to my friends and family. read more

My daughter started to attending this school when she was a toddler, now she went to a pre-school group. I really love this school and the teachers! Everybody is always very welcoming, my daughter is always happy to go there, she found a lot of friends and she is only 2.5 y o and she knows and sings so many songs! There is a dance teaching who comes on Wednesdays and teach kids how to dance and my daughter loves it so much! She comes back after school and start teaching me all those moves that she learned...it's so cute I do appreciate all the teachers and Melinda- the director for taking such a good care of the kids and teaching them so well with so much love and care read more

My son has been at Nobis since March in their infant class. We are so grateful to have found Nobis, it's in our local neighborhood and every single staff member and teacher are so kind, helpful and loving to all the kids! Our son always has a smile on his face when we drop him off and pick him up from daycare. As a new parent I initially was a little nervous about daycare but now I know he's in great hands. Thank you Nobis! read more

We absolutely love Nobis!! We were very particular with what we wanted for our daughter's childcare and Nobis checked all the boxes and more! We have had the best experience and have nothing but positive things to say. Everyone at Nobis is friendly and loving. You can tell the teachers and Melinda truly care about the kids. Our daughter had a hard time transitioning in the beginning and they made sure she felt safe and cared for when she was at school. Her teachers and Melinda are always quick to reply when we contact them. We love that we're able to easily contact them and also love getting photos of her having fun at school. They have lots of different play based activities that they do. They also provide balanced lunches and snacks which has helped our picky eater eat so many new foods that she would have never ate before!! We're beyond grateful for Melinda and the teachers at Nobis! read more

I have seen growth of my granddaughter from the caring, loving individual's around her. This job as a caretaker : educator for children is not for all, but the women who dedicate themselves to our children and their futures seem to do it whole heartedly. I applaud you. You are all wonderful and special in your own way. Thank you. read more

We and our little one loved Nobis. We had to leave them due to the commute or else we definitely would've stayed with them. The teachers and the Director were always so sweet to us. We really appreciate them taking care and showing love to our little one. read more

My child has been at Nobis for a short while but we are very pleased. We were not happy with the previous care center he attended and Nobis has been such a relief. It's a smaller facility which works in its favor, as other care centers can feel like a zoo. My child is always happy at pick up and well taken care of. Through friends we heard this was a great place and I would also recommend! read more

We love nobis! The teachers are all wonderful. My daughter started here when she was 16 months old and has learned so much in her time here. She began talking and understanding what things mean at a young age and has learned to make friends and gain more independence. The director, Melinda, is wonderful, she makes sure the children have so many fun things to do along with making sure they are eating nutritious meals daily. She is very organized. I can't say enough good things about this school. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming school for their littles. read more

My son started here right after he turned 1 and it was his first daycare experience. From day 1, all of the teachers have been so patient with his transition and are committed to making him comfortable, which eased my mind a lot. He's in the young toddlers program and they are constantly doing fun activities like outdoor time, arts and crafts, bubble machines and music. They have fun special events for the kids (fire fighters and police officers visit the school, etc.) and have cute holiday celebrations. A huge bonus is the food that is provided, which is really healthy, fulsome options and has a wide variety of options! Melinda, the director, is super involved and I constantly see her in the classrooms, helping where needed (and she cooks the meals for the kids!). She makes an effort to get to know each child and it really shows! I did lots of research before picking Nobis and I'm so glad I picked it! read more

My son has been at Nobis since he was 6 months old and loves going there every morning. His teachers are kind and loving and make daycare a fun place to be. We feel like we always know what is going at the school and are really pleased with the way it is run.

Miss Melinda is very communicative and welcomes us everyday with a friendly smile. Thank you to Miss Ashley for all the extra activities and learning opportunities too! read more

I love it here! My son has been coming here for about half a year now and It's very close to our house. They've been extremely accommodating with my financial situation since the beginning.. which makes things way less stressful on my part. I always wondered about the preschool driving past for several years and now i know first hand :) my son isn't always thrilled to come to daycare but when he's there i know he has a blast. Having another baby in March and I can't wait to experience the infant room with them read more

We toured the school after searching for infant care. I should have known from the beginning by the unreturned emails when we first inquired for information that it wasn't organized or professional. We walked into the infant room and the vibes were off. The caretakers seemed uninterested and bored, even this kids didn't look like they were having fun. Something about it was dreary. It didn't seem like anyone enjoyed what they were doing. I don't now about you but it's important that the people watching my kids want to be around children. Unfortunately, we paid the $150 deposit and filled out an application to secure a spot. They never reached out with next steps, as if we never came. I still haven't heard back so I guess we took a $150 tour. So strange but I'm thankful because it confirmed my gut feeling that this wasn't the right place. read more

We feel very lucky to have had our child enrolled at Nobis for the last ~1.5 years. The staff/teachers that were with him in both the infant and toddler rooms were so patient, loving, and kind- we really couldn't ask for anything more. Ms. Debbie, Ms. Veronica, Ms. Star, Ms. Liz, and Ms. Melinda - a special thank you for all the love you showered our son with. He still remembers all of you and will repeatedly say your names at home :) read more

Our son has been at Nobis for a year and a half now in the infant and toddler room and our daughter is getting ready to start in the infant room- we love it! Every day our son is excited to go to his classroom where he is greeted lovingly by his teachers - he always talks about how much he fun he has with them and his friends at school! The teachers are so loving and create a wonderful environment for the children. Ms. Melinda is a great director - very communicative, friendly, and easy to work with. We had a fantastic experience in the infant room, as well. We are so grateful to the Nobis staff for all that they do for our family! read more

We joined Nobis when our little one was an infant and have loved our teachers and experience at the school. Our little one is cared for, known by all teachers even outside of hers, and has made great little friends. Nobis even hosts family events throughout the year so we get to know our little one's friends, friends' parents, and the greater Nobis staff! read more

My daughter Maren was here for 3 months and enjoyed her time here. She's was in the infant room with Ms. Isabel & Ms. Destiny. We had a spot open up at kids kastle so we decide to enroll her. I would highly recommend Nobis to friends or family without a doubt! read more

We are really happy with our experience at Nobis. Our daughter started in the toddler program and moved into preschool. We had options in the area to switch but we love the teachers attention to detail, diverse curriculum, and flexibility with scheduling...the meals are a huge plus as well. Kudos to Melinda for all of the "behind the scenes" work she puts in. Parents are a difficult population to work with but we've always observed safety being primary concern of hers and professionalism following close behind. read more

Well this is the second time I have had to write this since apparently Nobis was able to delete my first post. (Not a good sign when the business is deleting posts so you can't trust the reviews) Anyways, I don't write many reviews but I chose to do so in this case cause I truly feel I am doing a service to other parents looking for day care. This review is for the infant and toddler rooms. In the infant room my son was usually the last child to be picked up due to my work schedule but I was never late. I had a habit of getting to the class and watching my son through the window and one day he was the last and Ms Judy was in the room with him her back turned to him and cleaning up around the room when she literally said when will you mom get here to pick you up. I was in shock! My some was about a year old at this point and I couldn't believe she would speak like this around him. I would have hoped that if he wa the I Ly child they would have been doing some engaging activity together. The worst however was when I picked up my son and he was covered and I mean covered in chemicals! I noticed it as soon as I got close to him. I asked about it and was repeatedly told they do t use chemicals in class (Ms Judy). However the next day Ashley the admin/director explained that chemicals were used to clean up after lunch. To be honest we use chemicals at home not a huge deal for me, if they had changed his clothes and given me a bag of dirty clothes I would have been fine. What broke my heart was that apparently no one had been close enough to my 1.5 year old since lunch time to notice he drakes of chemicals. I was sick over the thought of this but he was about to change classes to the toddler room so I waited it out. In the toddler room one of the teachers literally had asked me to complain to management two that she could turn on the heat in the classroom during the winter! That was the last straw for me as soon as my son turned two we moved to a different school and we couldn't be happier the new school is wonderful! read more

We've had our daughter enrolled at Nobis since she was 5 months old starting in the infant room. Affordable infant care is difficult to come by in Orange County! Nobis provides a small community feel and has truly turned around since Ms. Kenya has been operating as the director. The teachers seem happier, the kids love it, and our 2.5 year old thrives at Nobis! Ms. L provides a structured and engaging preschool classroom. We also will be sending our second daughter to the infant room after my maternity leave, where we know Ms. Angie and Ms. Shala will continue to love and nurture our baby girl! Thank you to the teachers at Nobis preschool! read more

Our daughter has been going to Nobis Costa Mesa since she was 10 months old. She's been through the infant, toddler classes and is currently in Preschool. she continues to thrive! We've noticed her communication/verbal skills and learnings have excelled week over week and know Nobis has contributed to this. The teachers have so much thoughtful consideration for the children and care for their well-being. We feel comfortable each time we drop her off that she's in a safe space. It's been such a fantastic daycare and will be glad to recommend. 5 stars! read more

Nobis is so wonderful! My son has attended Nobis since he was an infant and we have been nothing but impressed and extremely happy with the teachers and care provided at the school. All of the teachers, along with the Director, Ms. Melinda, are exceptional and truly dedicated to ensuring the children are receiving a well rounded and fun learning experience. Their individual focus on every child is evident and very appreciated. We are grateful for the entire Nobis team! read more

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Nobis and all of its caring staff! Our daughter has attended for the past 8 months-starting in the toddler program and now has moved into preschool there. All of her teachers have been so loving and have made her feel so comfortable along the way. The director Melinda is also super communicative and involved with the kids. My daughter gets excited to see her every day! We've toured many other schools in the area but Nobis feels the most like a loving, family environment. Huge thanks to Nobis! read more

We have sent both our daughters here and we, and they, love it. Mrs Kenya is such an amazing new addition to the team. Great communication and a super happy staff. Highly recommended! read more

My son started at Nobis around 5 months and he LOVES his infant teachers and his teachers adore him. They're great with working with your schedule if you have your little one on a schedule that is different from the schools. We got through the waitlist fairly quick which was very nice and helped a lot as I started back at work. They also offer 5/3/2 day care days which worked for us great in the beginning as we were doing 2 days and just recently put my son in 5 days a week. Nobis is great at accommodating which is a huge plus for us. He's been doing really great there especially since I recently changed his nap schedule to 2 naps a day as well as when he started solids. He's always happy when I pick him up and drop him off. They make sure to change his onesies when he gets dirty or a bunch of spit up on him (he spits up a lot). It was really scary for me as a first time parent finding a place that really felt good and fit my sons needs but was also in close proximity to my work which Nobis checks all those boxes for me and my husband. All the teachers and the director are all so nice and caring. We love Nobis and highly recommend them. read more
