EXCELLENT Based on 44 reviews Posted on Google Christopher MillonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After visiting several daycares, we knew Tarina Daycare was the right place the moment we met Gisele and her team. As parents, there's nothing more important than knowing your children are safe, loved, and genuinely excited to go each day—and that's exactly what we've found here. Our kids have absolutely thrived since starting at Tarina. They come home talking about everything they learned, proudly showing off their art projects, and excited to tell us about the fun activities they did with their friends. We also love that they spend time outside in the large backyard and have plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and be kids. One of the things we appreciate most is how much care goes into every part of the day. The fresh, home-cooked meals are a huge plus, and it's comforting to know our children are eating healthy food while they're there. The birthday celebrations, holiday festivities, and cultural events are always so thoughtful and make every child feel included and special. Gisele is truly one of a kind. She is kind, attentive, and genuinely treats every child as if they were her own. Her communication with parents is excellent, and it's obvious how much love and dedication she pours into the daycare. The entire team creates such a warm, welcoming environment that feels like a second home. We couldn't be happier with our experience at Tarina Daycare and wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching place for their children. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found them.Posted on Google Marisa MendozaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter has been attending Tarina Daycare three days a week since January 2025 and we've had a wonderful experience. Gisele and all the staff are so caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in all our children's well-being and development. It's clear they create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and grow. Our daughter is always happy to go in the morning and is always smiling when we pick her and blows kisses at the staff which gives us great peace of mind. She also seems to really love the food they provide and the parties they host for every child's birthday. The daycare community genuinely feels like a family environment. We're grateful to have found such a supportive and welcoming in home daycare, and we highly recommend it to other families looking for quality childcare.Posted on Google Heer AlagTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Tarina Daycare. Our child has been going there for a long time now, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. From day one, the environment has felt warm, safe, and genuinely nurturing. One of the things we appreciate the most is the weekly art classes. It’s wonderful to see how much creativity and confidence our child has developed through fun, hands-on activities. We constantly bring home artwork and hear excited stories about what they created that week. It’s clear that the daycare truly invests in helping children learn and express themselves. Another huge highlight is the fresh meals they cook every day. Knowing that our child is eating healthy, home-cooked food gives us so much peace of mind. You can really tell they care about the children’s well-being and go the extra mile to provide nutritious meals. They also throw the BEST birthday parties and make every child feel so special on their big day. On top of that, they celebrate each and every festival, which creates such a joyful and inclusive environment. The kids get to learn about different cultures and traditions in the most fun and meaningful way. The entire team is incredibly humble, kind, and loving. Our child absolutely loves going to daycare and is always excited to see the teachers, which says everything. As parents, there is no better feeling than dropping off your child and knowing they are happy and cared for. A special thank you to Giselle, the head of the daycare. She is extremely caring, attentive, and truly pays attention to every little detail. Her dedication and warmth make this place feel like a second home for the children and families. We wholeheartedly recommend Tarina Daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching environment for their child.Posted on Google Ana Vázquez LimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gizhele and her team are amazing. They’re caring, patient, and make everything so easy. My baby is always super happy there; he doesn’t even want to leave when I pick him up! The place is warm, clean, and full of fun things for the kids. I’m really very happy we found them. Highly recommend!Posted on Google april ghatiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been bringing my daughter to Tarina daycare since she was 1 yr old — she’s 3 now — and I honestly can’t say enough good things. The caregivers here feel like family. They’re patient, loving, and really tuned in to each child’s personality and needs. My daughter actually gets excited to go, which says everything. The space is always clean and safe, and they keep the kids busy with creative activities — art, music, story time, even little learning games that have helped her speech and confidence so much. I also really appreciate how good they are with communication — I always get updates and photos ! Knowing my daughter is happy and well cared for gives me total peace of mind. I recommend them to every parent I know!Posted on Google The Wandering GuideTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter had a great experience with the daycare, it was very smooth transition as this was her first daycare, all the staff are really nice and supportive.Posted on Google Ali TaheriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are incredibly grateful to have found Tarina Daycare in Irvine. From day one, we felt confident that our child was in a safe, nurturing, and developmentally enriching environment. What truly stands out is the team’s consistent communication and dedication to each child's well-being. We regularly receive updates, photos, and feedback, which give us peace of mind throughout the day. Our child has shown noticeable growth; socially, emotionally, and cognitively. Thanks to the daycare’s thoughtful curriculum and caring staff.Posted on Google Maryam MokhberiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had our toddler at Tarina daycare for three months now, and we are very hapoy. Ghazaleh (the manager) is incredibly honest, responsible, and detail-oriented. She regularly communicates thoughtful updates about our child’s behavior, health, and development which is something that really puts us at ease. What sets this daycare apart is how much it goes above and beyond the conventional home daycares. Ghazaleh invites specialized instructors like an art teacher and a yoga teacher, in addition to having caring assistants who are so kind with the kids. She also organizes amazing events for special occasions, with so much effort put into the planning and decorations. It's clear how much she loves what she does. The kids are always engaged in a wide variety of activities of educational, physical, and just plain fun. Ghazaleh truly runs this daycare with heart and passion. It’s more than just childcare; she makes sure it's a nurturing environment and community for the little ones.Posted on Google Himani SwadiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gisele and team are so kind and sweet! Our 6 month old daughter is always happy and well taken care of. She’s thriving, learning new things, and loves going every day. Gisele helps and supports with everything! As first time parents, we feel truly at peace knowing she’s in such loving hands. Highly recommend!!Posted on Google Michelle HsiehTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 13-month-old has been attending Tarina Daycare for the past 3 months and we couldn't be happier. As first-time parents, we were nervous about finding the right place, but Gisele immediately made us feel at ease. She has a natural way with babies and creates a calm, loving, and safe environment where our little one is thriving. We especially appreciate the updates she sends throughout the day and her attention to our child's feeding and nap schedule. We highly recommend Tarina Daycare for infants and toddlers!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
