Anne Sullivan pre school is a magical space for little ones. My tow daughter went here when they were little and now one of them has a 2 1/2 year child who attends this school. They have such a caring staff, well developed curriculum and very creative special events and days. Today is Pirate day and my grand child is excited about wearing an eye patch and going to school! She says she will greet everyone with an "aargh" instead of hello! The school campus is on a beautiful piece of land with tons of trees and out door paths. The playgrounds are well shaded and filled with wonderful play structures. We love Anne Sullivan School! read more

Anne Sullivan is such a special preschool, and we feel incredibly grateful that both of our children had the opportunity to attend. We've experienced two classrooms and loved them both equally. One of the things we appreciate most is how much time the kids get to spend outdoors, exploring and learning in the beautiful natural setting the school provides. From nature walks and the children's garden to discovering bugs and lizards, the environment fosters curiosity, independence, and hands-on learning. The school places a strong emphasis on social-emotional growth, which we value deeply. In the Butterfly Room, Ms. Hilda and Ms. Noemi create an environment that encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and curiosity. They guide children with thoughtful questions, nurture resourcefulness, and celebrate diversity, all while helping kids develop a love for nature and the earth. In the Sunshine Room, Ms. Judy and Ms. Jessi are a dynamic, nurturing pair who bring fun, creativity, and compassion to every day. Through singing, dancing, and play, they spark imagination and help the younger children begin forming their first friendships in a safe and joyful environment. We saw our daughter's independent and creative play truly flourish during her time in this class, and it was wonderful to watch her confidence and imagination grow. We often say we wish school could always be like this for our kids. Anne Sullivan has given them a wonderful first classroom experience and instilled in them a genuine love for learning. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and truly caring toward both the children and their families. We couldn't recommend this preschool more highly--it's truly a gem. read more

After touring several schools with small play areas, we were instantly impressed by Anne Sullivan's amazing outdoor space -- the large play areas, beautiful garden, and focus on outdoor exploration make it such a special place for kids to learn and grow. The administration has over 50 years of experience in early childhood education, and it truly shows in the way they care for every single child and family. Our son began his journey here in preschool, and the teachers didn't just teach him -- they guided us as parents through each developmental milestone. He started off as a shy, curious little guy and, with their encouragement, grew into a confident classroom leader. By TK, he was learning sight words and developed such a strong foundation in reading that he's now one of the top readers in his first-grade class -- all thanks to the incredible start he received at Anne Sullivan. When our daughter was ready to start school, there was no question where she would go. The team of Ms. Judy and Ms. Jesse made school such a joyful first experience for both our kids. Ms. Judy is kind and nurturing, encouraging our children socially and emotionally, while Ms. Jesse brings so much fun and engagement to the classroom -- together they are the perfect preschool teacher team. We also had a wonderful experience with Ms. Hilda and Ms. Noemi, who create such a warm and creative classroom, encouraging silly play, imagination, and social development. In TK, our son was lucky to have Ms. Becca and Ms. May, who balanced each other beautifully and supported him every step of the way. Anne Sullivan is truly a wonderful school. The teachers, the staff, and the environment all work together to help children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We're so grateful for the incredible start both our kids had here -- we couldn't recommend Anne Sullivan Preschool and TK more highly! read more

We recently moved to the area and wanted this school to work so badly. The grounds are beautiful making up for the small class rooms where children spend most the day. The school is ran by a group of elderly women who live on the property with ties to the community which we viewed as a positive. Our 2yo was undergoing quite the adjustment with a new house, school, routine and sibling on the way. After less than 5 weeks Ms.Judy arranged a meeting with us after providing a letter stating that he needed to be evaluated by a professional due to emotional outbursts and not talking/engaging with other students. We were shocked- he was thriving at his school prior and although we knew the move was an adjustment "needs to be evaluated by a professional" completely caught us off guard. We met with her, explained all his recent adjustments, provided progress reports from his last school and a language sample from a speech therapist all stating he was advanced or meeting milestones for his age. Hoping things would improve, we stayed for another 2 months but it was clear that not only is Ms.Judy not used to being challenged, her opinion of our child was not going to change. His other teacher Ms.Jesse was welcoming, provided constructive feedback and was positive about his progress, told us about the relationships he was building etc. I would see our son engaging with other children at pickup/drop off, would purposely show up at varying times and sometimes watch from the fence discreetly .. Nothing about his behavior looked different than the other toddlers in his class. Still, all comments by Ms.Judy in the class app continued to inform us that our child was a problem. Fortunately, this prompted us to look into alternatives which was a blessing as we have had the opposite experience from our new school. Not once have we felt like our son is a burden and it has been a relief to partner with his teachers to help him grow socially and emotionally rather than convincing them to give him a chance while defending age appropriate behaviors to teachers who we assume have experience in this field. None of the teachers in the sunshine room hold a degree in early childhood development, none are medical professionals capable of diagnosing toddlers after a few weeks of knowing them, most staff is elderly and all seem to struggle with the student to teacher ratio (12:1). We gave this place months and moving schools is such a burden on our little ones but I only wish I had removed him sooner. Please do not let the landscape sway your decision over quality care-there are plenty of alternatives. read more

We are so grateful to have a preschool & TK like Anne Sullivan in town. This school came highly recommended by those in child development and education. Since attending this school, I've seen tremendous growth both academically and socially in my kids. The large shaded outdoor space with multiple playgrounds and garden is incredible. You'll have to tour to see it yourself. My children love it here and I'm very happy our kids have the opportunity to attend a school like this. read more

We have been absolutely blessed to have found this school! We are so thankful for the experience they have created there. It truly is like no other school. Every teacher and every person involved in the school truly loves the children and you can feel it. Our son has had such an amazing experience there and I would highly recommend over any other school. read more

While the teachers were kind, the Director is extremely unprofessional and would continue to disclose information about our child to someone who is not a parent/legal guardian. Even when we asked Ms. Margarita to only share information with legal parents, she continued. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for childcare. read more

My daughter started here in July in the rainbow room, she had just turned 2 and was used to being with me 24/7. She has done so amazing adapting and I believe that's because of the amazing teachers and welcoming/warm environment. It was so hard for me to let go of control and put her in the care of new people but it's gone so well and she's already grown so much. Ms.Salma. Ms.Michelle, Ms. Vivian and Ms.Valencia are amazing! read more

My daughter is in her second year at Anne Sullivan and I truly can't say enough amazing things about this school. The teachers really take the time to get to know the kids and adjust to their individual learning styles. They are kind and gentle and keep up with the times in terms of discipline and helping the kids navigate their emotions. The curriculum is fun and engaging. My daughter has really thrived at this school. I highly recommend! read more

Anne Sullivan Preschool & Transitional Kindergarten - Preschools Near Me - Wildomar, California

My daughter has been attending Anne Sullivan for a year now and it has truly been a blessing to find such a dedicated preschool. She was moved to a more advanced class half way through the year, and to say the transition was tough is an understatement. She loved her old class and wanted to go back. It was a tough decision but I felt it was better for her to be challenged in the new class. The teachers here are so dedicated and were very patient with her as she acted out and had behaviors. Here we are months later and my daughter is so well behaved and has matured so much through the help of her teachers. She's writing her name and various words at the age of 3! She knows all of her letters, numbers, and has blossomed beyond belief. I am so grateful for this school. The teachers here are so kind and they are dedicated to making sure your child succeeds. It's so hard to find good daycares but this is one I recommend again and again. They teach them how to garden and enjoy lots of outdoor play on their large land. Don't think twice, run to Anne Sullivan and watch your child flourish. read more

We had a tour today and we weren't greeted nicely . We were told to wait outside in hot weather and waited for director for almost 10 minutes to come meet us and when she finally did . One of the questions she asked was "are you vaccinated ?" My husband said no we are not . She immediately got mad and told us how that so wrong and bad and walked away as I was filling out a form didn't say goodbye or nice to meet you , nothing .... So unprofessional and rude .. me and my husband did not even know what to say ... it shouldn't matter what choices we make in our own lives it has nothing to do with my child going to that school. We do not want to come back here nor be contacted . Very disappointed with this woman's actions during our visit ... read more

My son has been going here for 3 years. He is now in the Kindergarten program and it has been amazing. Very supportive staff, and my son has made great progress. Very worth sending your kids here for as long as possible to help curb the indoctrination while you can. Fun garden activities, while kids were on zoom because of COVID, my son was able to stay in class. Worth every penny. read more

The staff here, talking 9 years ago helped shaped my teenage daughter. She went off to Van Avery Prep for a couple years and so on... Amazing school!! She now is top of her class going into high school. read more

I wish I could give this school a zero. I pulled my child out of this school due to them allowing him to be bullied and singled out. He would come home saying the kids and teachers were mean to him and he was scared to go back. I will be looking into this schools practices as this might amount to neglect on their part. read more

Anne Sullivan has been a blessing to my family for over a decade. We have five children currently ranging in ages from 3 to 15. Initially, I enrolled my oldest child in Anne Sullivan due to the numerous positive reviews and stories from my fellow teachers. Our children have ALWAYS been well cared for. The teachers and administration go above and beyond in everything they do. The children learn skills and concepts at a developmentally appropriate level, they are nurtured in their social emotional learning, and most of all, they are loved. Even now, when my older children visit, their former teachers ask them how they are doing and how their lives are going. The staff at Anne Sullivan is fully invested in the children and the families they serve. In addition to their amazing staff, the grounds are really something special. The school is set on 30 acres (approximately) where children grow fruits and vegetables in a large garden and go on many nature walks throughout the property under close supervision of their teachers. When I walk around, I feel like I am whisked away to summer camp, it's just magical and no other preschool can come close. I am a teacher at a local school, and I have had many students in my class who had attended Anne Sullivan while in preschool. All of the children that came to me following preschool and/or kindergarten at Anne Sullivan did very well academically. Many had very scientific minds and were great at thinking "outside the box." As we are nearing the end of our time with Anne Sullivan, it leaves a bittersweet mark on our hearts. I hope many other families get the opportunity for their children to have the same experience. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place ! My child started at Anne Sullivan about 2.5 years ago. The teachers and staff are absolutely wonderful ! I love the teacher to child ratios , their hours of operation , and the entire school environment . My son asked me more than once to pick him up late because he wanted to stay longer to be with his teachers and friends. If my son could attend Anne Sullivan longer than just kinder I would have continued taking him here but I know he is more than prepared to move onto the 1st grade . read more

We love this school! Everything about the way they teach and how they interact with the kids is wonderful. My daughter loves the rainbow room! The teachers in the rainbow room are amazing. read more

Some of my first memories are from when I attended Anne Sullivan Preschool and Kindergarten some thirty plus years ago. And they are wonderful memories of kind, nurturing teachers and being in an environment rich in nature and art. When the time came for my children to attend preschool and kindergarten I could think of no better place than Anne Sullivan. Over the past five years I have watched my children grow in leaps and bounds at this wonderful school. The natural environment Anne Sullivan provides allows children to explore and enhances their educational experience. The exceptional teachers at Anne Sullivan truly care for their students and help them excel in all areas of academics as well as their social development and the importance of caring for the planet. I really can not say enough great things about this place. This school has been such a blessing for me and for my family. read more

This place is more than just a school, it is a hidden gem! As an educator myself I knew how valuable the experience would be for my children to be here. My kiddos went here for preschool, TK, and Kinder. I love their nurturing the whole child philosophy, consistency, and passion for early education. My children are so fortunate to have had this school as their foundation for learning. read more

My son has attended Anne Sullivan since preschool. I am very thankful to the parents who recommended this school to us. The teachers and the entire staff are just amazing. They are definitely a big part that my son has mastered in all his academic skills. They are very hands on and are great in letting me know what we need to work on next. They are also prepareing him for 1st grade and have done an outstanding job. My son loves all his teachers. And has developed a beautiful relationship with them all. I highly recommend them. read more

Great teachers, great place for kids to learn and grow. They really helped my son come out of his shell and he has flourished.

This is, by far, the best preschool in the Temecula Valley! The teachers have magical powers! My son struggled at so many other schools, but he has improved immensely since he started at Anne Sullivan. My family is forever grateful to have found this school. read more

We love Anne Sullivan! Wonderful faculty and natural environment for children. My son has blossomed tremendously since starting there last year. They have a great summer program to transition the children into the regular school year. My son loves his teachers, the garden, Webby Dance, & Amazing Athletes. Highly recommend this school! read more

Anne Sullivan is an amazing Preschool & Kindergarten and my children couldn't be happier here. The entire staff is so sweet, loving and treats my children like their own. My daughter has been in the school since she was 3 years old and she cannot wait to get back to school on Monday to see all of the teachers. My son attended the school for 2 years but has now been out of the school for a year and when he comes with me to pick up his sister the staff is still so sweet and friendly to him and always says hello, gives him a hug, asks how his new school is, etc. This school is amazing. The kids are so well taken care of, they learn so much from the staff including normal child education, healthy eating habits, how to treat others, and much, much more. I am always amazed at the things my daughter tells me she has learned. She has blossomed into such a wonderful young lady and I know a lot of this is thanks to Anne Sullivan and their staff. WE LOVE YOU and wish that our kids could attend throughout their entire education. read more

Anne Sullivan is a gem! My oldest grandchild has attended for 3 years and his brother began preschool this year. I am so appreciative of the staff and the opportunities they provide children. My husband and I are educators, and we are impressed with the nurturing, rigorous environment. Children are respectful of each other because that is what is modeled by adults and is expected. If a child is unkind towards another, teachers patiently correct the behavior and refocus the child. We've witnessed class parties where students wait patiently for their turn, help themselves to treats and then pass the tray on for the next student to partake. It sounds simple, but it's amazing to watch 3 and 4 year olds work together as a caring community. Learning is hands-on and creativity is encouraged. You will not find worksheets in the preschool program. Students build, sing, and play with a focus on academics. Our 3 year old recognizes upper and lower cases letters, knows letter sounds and recognizes words. He has one-to-one correspondence and counts into the teens. He's excited and adores his teachers. Thank you to all the exceptional teachers and administrators whom work tirelessly to create a welcoming, nurturing place for children. read more

I absolutely love this school. It was an easy choice after touring others around. I really appreciate the work they do to nurture the whole child. As a teacher myself I thought I was doing a great job getting my child ready for school at home, but she is learning so much more at school! I've also had some students in my own classes that have come from Anne Sullivan and they have all done amazingly well! If you're looking for a nursery school or kindergarten look no further. This is the best there is! read more

Love this place. My son has been going here for a 1.5 years and he is always so excited to go to school every day. Lots of mental and physical stimulation and I love that it is situated on 30 acres of open land. My son comes home everyday excited to tell me about new things he learned and did. I would highly recommend Anne Sullivan School. read more

Anne Sullivan Preschool is such a special place! My son attended Anne Sullivan for 2 years. The teachers are very experienced and know how to use age-appropriate methods to guide the children in learning. I was always impressed with the outdoor environment that nurtured the children's sense of exploration and play. In the classroom, they encourage creativity and imaginative growth, while also advancing academic knowledge. They create a safe space for children to learn, grow, and interact with each other. I am so pleased with the well-rounded program developed by the very experienced staff at Anne Sullivan. My son came home with art work nearly every day, and learned the cutest songs, and games. The staff cook healthy meals, garden with the children, and take them on walks around the preschool grounds. They also encourage parent participation and foster a postive community for parent interaction at the school. They also brought in experts to offer parenting classes for those of us who wanted more tools to help our kids thrive. I plan for my daughter to attend preschool at Anee Sullivan as soon as she is old enough. What a wonderful school for young learners! read more

I am so HAPPY I found this place!! My little girl loves this place so much, she never wants to leave when I have to come pick her up. They have a garden area, trails for the kids to walk, fruit trees, their own chef with great food, the teachers are amazing, everything is organized and they keep you updated on what happens at school. This is the best preschool I've ever seen. And the fact that my daughter is excited to go to school is the best part ever!! I highly recommend this place read more

Anne Sullivan has been a saving grace for me ! They're teachers are all so caring and nurturing. My daughter has learned so much and her knowledge and vocabulary alone is beyond belief! All of the staff is so friendly and accommodating when school is closed and or events are scheduled. My son will soon be old enough to go and look forward to having both my kids here! read more

My child attends school here. We absolutely love this school! We have noticed so much growth and knowledge stem from our child attending here. The teachers are amazing and extremely caring. The front office staff is just the same. read more

Excellent is not a strong enough word to describe this school. The teachers are so caring and calm. They teach the children compassion for one another, respect for the earth and the academic curriculum far exceeds the state requirements. If I could keep my girls here all the way through high school I would. read more

I have never been as offended as I was after my wife and I were told to look for other places for our autistic daughter. They advertise that they don't discriminate based on disability, but the director had her mind made up less than two minutes after we got into her office. She gave every standard reason as to why our autistic daughter wouldn't fit there, even though she hadn't even seen our daughter or how she interacts with others. First it was "she'll need an aid to follow her" When we said "great so she can have someone come with her" then it was "their classes are too big" and "she probably can't handle the noise." Then it was "she needs more structure than they provide" and "she probably can't transition into our activities." It was clear that they didn't want her or our business. Not even we can try, or let's see how it goes. The director was kind enough to let us know that if our daughter ever "gets better" we can try again. Don't think so. They may have a great program for typical children, but they wanted nothing to do with us. Their loss!!! read more

I came across this Yelp page and wondered how in the world Ann Sullivan Preschool had less than a perfect 5. So, I read the reviews that caused it. It sounds unfortunate, but it is also obvious that both bad reviews are made by people who have never had a child attend there. My son attended 23 years ago. This school was so important to his early childhood. My wife and I were going through a divorce, and this school was his rock. The ladies that run it actually dedicate their entire lives to their work. ...one more word about the negative reviews: the one was from someone who felt very hurt, the other from someone who identified. Knowing the women who run the school leads me to trust them implicitly regarding their refusal to take an autistic child. They more than likely simply feel - and probably know - that their program is not for children with certain challenges. That is sad: if they were a larger, more comprehensive place, maybe they could. As an educator myself, I think that more than likely they would do wonders with an autistic child - and other children would miss some of their focus because of it. I taught in a regular high school classroom where I have had autistic kids mainstreamed: I never regretted it- and I loved those kids ...and it often took my time from others. So, yes, three big cheers for Ann Sullivan Preschool, one of the best preschools on the planet, no doubt. read more
