What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

Giant Step Learning Center has been an amazing place for young learners. The teachers create a warm and welcoming environment where kids feel encouraged and confident. The activities are engaging and educational, and communication with parents is great. A fantastic preschool in Costa Mesa!
Pooja WalpitagamaJan 3, 2026I can't say enough good things about Giant Step Learning Center. As a parent, I was really nervous about leaving my daughter in someone else's care for the first time, but the staff here has gone above and beyond to make the transition easier than I ever expected. Mrs. Martha has been such a gift for us. My daughter is usually very shy and takes a while to warm up to new people, but she completely adores Mrs. Martha. When she's having a hard moment or feeling unsure, she automatically goes to her for comfort, which says a lot about the trust and bond they've built. You can just tell she has a special way with kids. The center also keeps me updated on how my daughter is doing what she ate, how she napped, if anything unusual happened. Those little updates mean a lot and give me peace of mind while I'm away. As any mother we wanna know our children are being cared for and these amazing women definitely do that. I also have to mention Ms. Jazmin, the director. On the very first day, I started tearing up when I dropped my daughter off. Ma. Jazmin comforted me and shared that she went through the same emotions when she left her own child at daycare for the first time. Just that reassurance and understanding made me feel better. Another thing worth mentioning is that their rates are much more affordable compared to most places in the area, especially considering how popular the location is being right near The CAMP. It's getting the best of both world's quality care at a price that doesn't feel overwhelming. We honestly feel lucky to have found Giant Step. It's been such a positive experience, and I'm grateful every day knowing my daughter is in such good hands. Overall, everyone I've met here is warm, approachable, and clearly cares about the kids. They even do little events for families throughout the year, which makes the place feel more like a community.
Marisa CalderonOct 22, 2025We love this place! The staff is loving and caring, the kids get to interact with other ages, and there is a lot of outdoor space for them to run, play, and just be kids.
Sarah CampbellFeb 3, 2025My daughter has been attending this school for 8 months and she loves it! She loves her teachers, especially her main teacher Ms. Daniella. It's a smaller school, but I feel like my daughter gets more attention here than she might elsewhere, plus they are affordable and super flexible which I appreciate. She's definitely learning too, which I was worried about. Being a typical 3 year old when I ask her about her day she focuses on what snacks she ate and who she played with, but today she impressed me by reciting all her months (which she definitely didn't know before she started) and counting to 49 (she got stuck on 50, but I'm still impressed). Thanks to the great staff here, so glad we found you!
Sara BuergerFeb 2, 2025All the staff have been really friendly and very kind. The director was so helpful and patient. All the kids seemed really calm and content. Good energy when you walk in. Very happy about this center. Affordable and great place!
