Preschool & Daycare in Tustin, CA

Located at 13682 Newport Ave in Tustin, CA 92780, our campus is just off Interstate 5 and easily accessible from throughout central Orange County. We have operated continuously at this location since 2004, making us one of the longest-running Montessori-inspired preschools in the Tustin area.

Our facility features bright, child-scaled classrooms, a dedicated infant wing, outdoor learning centers, and a commercial kitchen that prepares fresh hot meals on-site every day. California License No. 304370065.

Tustin families trust Newport Ave Preschool because we offer everything under one roof: full-time and part-time schedules, infant care from 6 weeks, subsidized care (CCAP/Alternative Payment accepted), and over 20 years of continuous operation at the same Newport Avenue campus.

Looking for daycare in Tustin rather than a traditional preschool? We are both. Our full-day child care runs Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM — hours built for working parents commuting on the 5 or 55. Unlike drop-in daycare, every hour of our day follows a structured Montessori-inspired curriculum, so children in our care are learning, not just supervised. Families searching for infant daycare, toddler day care, or preschool-with-extended-hours in Tustin find all three programs here under one license.

What does Montessori-inspired mean in practice? Our classrooms use Montessori principles — child-scaled materials, self-directed activity stations, mixed hands-on work — blended with a modern enriched curriculum. Children move between purposeful Montessori materials at their own pace while teachers guide rather than lecture. This Montessori foundation is why Tustin parents comparing Montessori schools often choose us over both traditional daycare centers and strict single-method programs: children get Montessori independence plus STEAM, dual-language Spanish, music, and outdoor learning.

Tuition for our Tustin campus starts at $175 per week, with rates varying by program and schedule; a one-time $100 registration fee covers enrollment paperwork. That rate is genuinely all-inclusive — hot meals cooked on-site, every enrichment program (STEAM, Spanish, music, dance, soccer, Tae Kwon Do, yoga), and outdoor learning centers are covered. Most Tustin child care centers price these as add-ons; we never have. CCAP/Alternative Payment subsidies are accepted and can cover part or all of your tuition. See our fee schedule or call (714) 730-3424 for the exact rate for your child's age and schedule.

Our campus sits in the heart of Tustin on Newport Avenue: 4 minutes from Tustin High School, 5 minutes from The Market Place and the Tustin/Irvine border, and directly accessible from the I-5 Newport Avenue exit. Parents in Old Town Tustin, Tustin Ranch, and North Tustin typically reach us in under 10 minutes — and families in neighboring Irvine and Santa Ana use us as their daycare closer to the freeway than options in their own city.
