Growing Years Preschool has been a second home for our family. Our son spent two wonderful years…read morehere--starting in Maples, growing in Redwoods, and graduating to kindergarten at age five--while our daughter moved from the Tots (Willows) class to the Toddler (Maples) class with confidence and smiles. Watching both kids thrive in the same loving community has been the best endorsement we could ask for. What sets Growing Years apart is the people. The teachers in Willows, Maples, and Redwoods are incredibly attentive and nurturing--they notice the small things, follow the children's curiosity, and turn everyday moments into learning. Thank you to the entire teaching team for inspiring imagination, kindness, and independence. And a very special thank-you to Miss Neeru and the admin staff for running such a thoughtful, organized, and welcoming preschool. Their communication is clear, transitions between classrooms are handled with care, and families always feel included. The program blends play-based fun with real kindergarten readiness. Our kids come home talking about letters and numbers, new stories and songs, art projects they're proud of, and the games they played outside. We love the "Star of the Week" tradition that helps each child shine and build confidence. Family gatherings, Christmas celebrations, and multicultural events make it feel like a true community where every culture and family is welcomed and celebrated. If you're looking for a caring, well-run preschool/toddler program with dedicated teachers, meaningful curriculum, and a genuine sense of community, we highly recommend Growing Years Preschool. Our children have felt safe, encouraged, and excited to learn here--and that peace of mind for parents is priceless. Thank you, Miss Neeru and team, for giving our family such a positive start to early education!

The 5 stars are for the Happiness Hill Preschool (HHP) teachers and the love they have for the job…read moreand the love they pour into the kids! My child has been to a few different daycare programs, including one that's literally 2x the price (Bright Horizons). However, HHP is the only place where my partner and I felt all the teachers (that we've met thus far) have a genuine passion for the kids. At a previous daycare, my child only talked about one teacher who seemed to really care, who unsurprisingly was the only teacher we felt actually enjoyed her job as a preschool teacher. However, at HHP, my child raves about all the teachers. There is a glaring weakness at HHP though, and that's the administration team. Unfortunately, other Yelp feedback about the slow and sometimes lack of responses (via phone or email) are true in my experience. Phone calls or emails go unanswered for days or weeks at a time, if at all. Fortunately, interaction with the admin office are mostly unnecessary after the child is actually enrolled. I'm hoping this area will be improved! If there are any "emergencies" or issues with my child at school, the teachers are very good about either calling or emailing us. And teachers are timely in their responses to our proactive emails to them as well. All in all, HHP has been a very positive place for my child.

Not only did I encounter that at The Montessori Giving Tree but I found an environment that my little one thrives in. My child has been with the school for almost one year and is excited to go to school every day. Tasha teaches the children respect and helping others out when needed. She is always there to answer any questions I have regarding the curriculum or if I feel my child needs to focus on an item she is more than happy to assist. I visited 6 different schools and this school was the only one that held up to my standards. Children are not running around screaming when in the classroom and Tasha ran me through each Montessori learning item and explain how the child will use the tools. The other schools just showed me where the tools were and that they were available to the kids. She has a little area outside where the kids can run around and play (this is when they probably do scream and it's okay) when the weather is nice. I read the review about limiting the snack quantities. Personally I find this acceptable because this way all the children will get an equal amount of food. If you just let the kids gorge themselves on what they like then they will not learn to share and inevitably 1 or more child will not get the item. In addition, if a child is given a bowl of carrots and a bowl of crackers, which snack do you think they will inhale? This way, each child will get a more balanced snack. Overall, my little one is extremely happy with the school and has never complained. In just a little under a year, she has already learned so much and made some great friends.

Amy focuses on skill-building through play and partners closely with me to help our LO reach her milestones. Although our daughter is currently one of the younger children in the daycare, Amy is very intentional about tailoring activities that are age and developmentally appropriate. She is incredibly attentive, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about the kids in her care. I also appreciate how well organized and clean Amy's daycare is. I toured nearly 10 daycares, and hers was by far the cleanest. I fully expected our daughter to be frequently sick during the colder months, but she hasn't been ill at all this winter, which truly speaks to the level of cleanliness at Sunflower. Sunflower Daycare is a wonderful option for parents looking for a more structured and thoughtful environment. Amy shares updates at pickup and offers helpful feedback and advice on how we can continue supporting our daughter's development at home.
