We were referred to Nobis from friends of ours and couldn't be happier with their infant program. Ms Mari is an absolute angel sent from heaven, in addition to Ms Alejandra and the other teachers who support them. They have created a loving, nurturing, and fun environment where we trust our baby to be safe while we work full time. They read books, dance, play outside, have circle time, and also provide all meals which is a game changer for busy parents. We had a bit of anxiety sending our baby as they had bad reflux, but the teachers helped relieve our anxiety. We couldn't be more pleased with Nobis and highly recommend their program.

Nobis is a great school to send your little ones too! My son has been attending nobis since he was 8 months old, he started in the infant room, he's now 2 in the toddler room. I've had a great experience with the teachers, especially Ms. Adriana! She's the best. My son runs up to her as soon as he sees her and gives her the biggest hugs. I wouldn't take my son anywhere else. They have all my trust, every staff member there is honest, and very welcoming.

We are beyond grateful to have found Nobis! Our boy started in the infant room at just 12 weeks old. As any parent can attest, it's a scary and emotional process to find the people who will be such a crucial part of your child's day-to-day care... Nobis has far surpassed our expectations and we feel so comfortable taking our son there each day. He is all smiles when we drop him off and pick him up... and he gets especially excited to spend time with Ms. Mari! He has been ahead of the curve hitting all of his milestones and we know this is in part due to the teachers at Nobis encouraging his independence and free play. The director and teachers are always a text away if you need them, or just for an update. School events are well organized and it's always fun to socialize with other families. Oh... and we get the cutest crafts each month!! I would happily recommend Nobis to any families in the area looking for infant care :)

My husband and I work full time outside of the home, and finding a daycare was one of the most stressful challenges we've faced as parents. Nobis has proven to be a godsend.My oldest son, who is now three and in the preschool class, started when he was seven months and my almost one-year-old, in the infant classroom, started at four months. Having a place where I can send my children, where I not only know they are safe and looked after, but continue to impress me with how much they are learning, developing and thriving is beyond comforting as a parent.The families who attend Nobis are all amazing and are so close - being able to attend birthday parties and socialize outside the school setting truly makes everyone at Nobis a big family.All the milestones from walking, talking, potty training, learning to express themselves, embracing independence, is in large part thanks to the staff at Nobis. Ms Ashley and Ms Erica have an incredible curriculum in place that is fun and educational. I'm truly blown away by my boys' development and can't thank the teachers at Nobis enough.We experienced a bit of teacher turnover during my eldest's toddler years (but every single one of my friends who have kids in daycare in other counties experienced this as well). While it was disappointing to say goodbye to some favorite teachers, the new ones that came in have been fantastic and quality. We've never been disappointed with a single teacher at Nobis. Everyone is so engaged, caring, and eager to prepare our children for the next step of their lives. Highly recommend Nobis!

I brought my first baby here at 3 months and he thrived. I brought his brother there and he is also thriving. They come home happy and I feel like it's part family. sure there has been a lack of consistent teachers. Young teachers coming and going but I can feel good about the care that my son(s) have gotten there. In October we will be putting our baby into his brothers school and Ms. Kristin will be missed dearly. Director Ashley has been amazing since day one with us. And the rest of the staff I will miss seeing. Ms. Maddys warm smile. Ms. Mary and her love for the babies. Ms. April is always welcoming. Honestly, the care and you show all the children, forever blessed to have had the opportunity to bring my boys here. I have recommended many moms to this school because I have trust in them. Thank you Nobis!

There is a reason most of the good reviews are from years ago...this school was a huge disappointment. Staff turnover is extremely high, contributing to a huge lack of consistency for the children. Teachers came and went, sometimes even after a few weeks. There was very poor communication around staffing changes, making me feel very uneasy. When we finally got a decent and experienced teacher, she was frequently pulled to other classrooms to assist, and we learned that she was one of the only licensed and credentialed teachers (which is why she was apparently pulled to cover)--so that was very concerning. During our time with Nobis, not only was there horrible turnover, but I also witnessed a very young child get left outdoors on his own. I called out to the teachers to try and get their attention but they did not notice and shut the door, leaving a toddler completely alone. The gate to their outdoor space was unlocked meaning the child could have wandered to the street or anyone could have walked in. I was able to bring him indoors and expressed this deep concern for what I witnessed to the director--truly not what you want to see when your little one is supposed to be kept safe there. My mother-in-law also sustained a horrible fall while helping with dropping off my daughter, because there is so much uneven ground and steps in the outdoor space by the classrooms in the back. This really is a hazard that needs to be addressed. During the periods of staff changes, we had weeks, and probably months, where there was no daily updates and no communication as to what was going on in the classroom. I also was devastated as a mom when I brought in birthday cupcakes for my girl to celebrate her special day, and when I came to pick her up, they were sitting there in the corner and she was apparently completely forgotten about. What kind of a preschool teacher forgets to celebrate birthdays--it was truly shocking. We are now at a new school for only a few weeks and the difference is huge! The new director is so loving and present, the teachers are consistent, and my daughter is shown love, and true caring. She seems way more comfortable there already and the communication there is wonderful. I really wanted to give Nobis a chance but our experience there was horrific. Do yourselves a favor and do not send your child here...they are apparently opening a third location and can barely keep this location together. A focus on staff retention, basic safety, and finding teachers who actually care and are committed is really necessary at this school.

I would not recommend this preschoolI had my son here and all the teacher did was complain to me about him. He is a smart and shy boy and she was just lazy and did not want to help him! The preschool teacher is not loving to the kids she's cold as ice and LAZY there were days I would pick him up and she was just sitting there on her phone or with a clip board in her hand not interacting with the kids etcDo not send your kids here

My son attends Nobis preschool and absolutely loves it!! We have been very happy with the teachers and Ashley (the director) who is ready and willing to answer all of our questions. Great preschool with a big play area. Best of all they are super safe, serve meals, and follow a strict sick policy which I appreciate.

The best all around Daycare/Preschool in the south OC area. My toddler daughter has been attending since she was 6 weeks old after Nobis took over they have made some amazing changes to better the learning curriculum and school. My daughter and I love the teachers and staff at Nobis. every day I see more and more improvements in my daughters learning and developmental growth she will be well ahead and advanced when she starts Kindergarten. I definitely recommend Nobis Preschool as an excellent choice.

We have been at Nobis from the get-go. Recently, things have been looking up and the change in ownership is just now beginning to feel rooted and official. I would love for the school to have a few more kids in each classroom, but for now, we are enjoying the low teacher:child ratio (and a relatively illness-free winter season). I feel confident and safe in leaving my 3-y/o son at this daycare. There does not appear to be a specific “teaching method” assigned to this daycare, but from what I can see, I would call it a loose version of Montessori, play-based, exploratory learning. Most days, a very thorough child report is sent home along with arts & crafts. They offer a monthly menu for breakfast, lunch and snack; my son enjoys the food. The teachers are very welcoming and you can tell they actually adore the children like they were their own kids/grandkids. There are lots of hugs going on here! I can smell the light scent of the teachers’ perfume on my child when he gets home and I take that as he gets plenty of hugs and snuggles throughout the day. Pari, the new owner, is trying very hard to make the changes needed to get Nobis to its highest potential—and is extremely open to and appreciative of suggestions for improvement. Nobis just hired a new director, Shauna, who is on the ball and always provides a warm welcome at the end of my long day. Shauna is very thorough and professional. Whenever I have a question or concern about my child or the program, the staff takes the time to address it. I like that there is diversity here (staff and children)—this is a nice change from the quite homogenous population in south OC.Overall:5 stars for the teachers and directors.4.5 stars for the convenient location and the shade outside.4 stars for the playground. There are plenty of play structures, bikes and toys, but needs to be re-vamped in the near future, in my opinion.3 stars for the facilities. The building is old. There are also some funky ramps, split-level rooms and steps/decks here and there. The owner is currently working on getting the facilities updated.2 stars for teacher turnover (I expect this to improve over the next 6 months).
