Our story is a bit unique when it comes to Grammy's Playhouse. We have twin girls and tried to send…read morethem to Grammy's shortly after their 2nd birthday. Prior to their first day, Grammy had us over to the preschool a few times, free of charge, to just spend time and try to get the girls comfortable for the transition. We cautiously hoped they were ready and gave it a shot. After the first official week, with tears in both of our eyes, Grammy and I agreed that one of our twins just wasn't ready. We waited another 6 months and again, Grammy gave much of her time allowing us to come 2-3 times on her days off to allow the twins to adapt to the preschool environment without all of the other kids. It took a couple of weeks but before we knew it, our girls were thriving. Grammy was so gentle with both our children and our mama hearts during this time. I think you can look at the website and instagram to get a feel of the type of curriculum and style Grammy has, but I want to speak about Grammys heart and passion she has for helping each of her students grow and succeed. She is dedicated to her kids, spends countless hours "off the clock" planning, organizing, attending birthdays, creating care packages, hosting events, all for the kids and their families who are lucky enough to be a part of Grammys circle. She truly cares and is gentle and soft and understanding. My daughters, who used to be terrified to step through the doors, now love going to Grammys and can't wait to tell me everything they learned and all the friends they have. The pure joy I have seeing pictures of them learning, playing, creating, THRIVING. I've never felt so proud. Grammy has been such a blessing to our family and I couldn't recommend her enough.

My daughter currently attends daycare full-time here as well. The Director, teachers and staff truly care about the development and safety for the kids.

I explained I already had one scheduled and received a confirmation email. The director said "okay see you then" and hung up. I ended up needing to cancel the tour and replied via email that I needed to cancel (as the email instructed) and stated I would contact the school when I needed to reschedule. I've received phone calls almost everyday for the last 2 weeks asking to reschedule and every time I've answered I've explained and made it explicitly clear that I would call to reschedule and they did not need to call me so frequently. I've started letting their phone calls go to voicemail.

The teachers are all truly amazing they really pay attention to each kids needs and just so engaged and loving. It truly has been a community for us with so many events for kids and parents throughout the year. The facility is very safe, clean, and organized. I absolutely love the app to use for all the reminders and pictures of what's going on and what she ate or if she napped. The communication is very open and ongoing of what's going on. The owners Millie and Ash are very present at the events hanging out with the kids you can feel the love and commitment they have for the school and the kiddos. I recommend Goddard to friends and family I can't thank their team enough for how much they have taught my daughter to be confident and grow along with learning social skills for making friends. She is so happy to go each day to see her teachers and classmates and comes back with so many stories about fun activities she learned from!

As a parent, there is nothing more important than knowing your child is safe, loved, and genuinely…read morecared for. I can honestly say this school has exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment you walk through the front doors each morning, you're greeted with smiling faces and a warm "good morning." They know every child by name and make each family feel welcome. It's such a wonderful way to start the day and immediately gives you peace of mind. The teachers are truly incredible. They are patient, loving, attentive, and take the time to get to know each child as an individual. I've never felt like my son is just another student in a classroom. They celebrate his personality, encourage his growth, and genuinely care about his happiness and development. I also really appreciate their student to teacher ratio. There are more teachers in the classrooms than I've seen at many other childcare centers, which means the children receive so much individual attention and gives me peace of mind. My son started in the First Steps classroom and has now moved into the Young Toddlers classroom, so we've had the opportunity to experience three different classrooms and many different teachers. One thing that has remained consistent throughout every transition is the genuine love and care the staff has for the children. Even teachers he no longer has still stop to say hello, give him high fives, and ask how he's doing. Seeing that they continue to care about him long after he's left their classroom speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. It never feels like they're simply doing a job, they truly build relationships with the children and their families. One of my favorite things about the school is how much they do to keep learning fun and engaging. As a STEM school, they incorporate hands on learning while also offering so many exciting activities throughout the year. My son looks forward to Music Mondays with Matt, art days, water play days, pizza Fridays, and the creative themes they change throughout the week. Over the summer they had a train come to the school and the kids got to ride on it, my son loved that! They even had an outdoor Robo Dance Party that came to the school. They are always thinking of the next fun thing they can bring to the school and it's truly amazing! They even have Soccer Shots as an added option for kiddos. They also host so many family events and holiday celebrations, including Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents Day, Aunt & Uncle Day, and more. They truly make families feel like they're part of the school community. Safety has always been a top priority for me, and this school takes it seriously. The secure entry with double doors and coded access, along with locked and alarmed outdoor gates, gives me confidence every day that my son is in a safe environment. The playground is always clean, well-maintained, and a place where the kids can play safely. The communication is another huge reason we love this school. Through their app, I receive updates throughout the day with photos, what my son has eaten, diaper changes, water refills, nap times, and more. It makes such a difference knowing exactly how his day is going while I'm at work. I am so grateful that my son gets to grow up surrounded by teachers and staff who love him so well. If you're looking for a school where your child will have lots of fun, learn new curriculum each day, be safe, encouraged, celebrated, and genuinely loved, I cannot recommend this school enough. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this amazing community!!!

Since attending Knowledge Treat Academy, I have already seen so many wonderful milestones in both of my children's lives in such a short amount of time. Both of my boys are autistic and require extra patience, understanding, and care. Jordan has been absolutely incredible with my son Liam and always gives me a sense of comfort and ease when dropping him off each day. Ms. Tasha has also been so patient, kind, and supportive with both of my boys. Ms. Andee is amazing as well, and I truly appreciate all of the love, care, and dedication she shows my children. The entire staff has been so welcoming from the very beginning and truly made us feel like family. It means so much to know my children are in an environment where they are genuinely cared for, supported, and understood. Ms. Katie at front desk is also so welcoming and amazing. I am beyond grateful for everyone at this school. The snacks are well thought out, the nap time has created a routine at home when I didn't have one in place before, and my kids are happy to be there when I drop off which is huge for me as a mother.

She is learning an incredible amount -- academically, practically, and interpersonally. The teachers are absolute gems who are professionals in every sense of the word and foster the most warm and supportive environment for the kids. The Montessori curriculum lets kids thrive in their independence within a structured, orderly & prepared environment. I am in awe of what our daughter has been able to do, even at such a young age. This school is so special to us & I consider it a staple of our Rocklin community!

I believe that every child has a unique set of talents and interests, and my program is tailored to meet each child's individual needs. The Montessori approach is centered around the belief that children are natural learners who will thrive in a prepared environment that allows them to explore and discover at their own pace. I use hands-on materials that encourage children to engage with their environment and develop important skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. The Montessori materials are specifically designed to support the child's natural development and provide a foundation for future academic success.

I have two boys currently enrolled at Merryhill (Rocklin), ages 2 and 4. Our boys have been…read moreattending this school for the past 8 months, after we relocated our family from Southern California to Rocklin. My boys had both been with a private nanny their entire lives - and we were extremely nervous about transitioning them away from private home care and into a school environment. The Merryhill team was fantastic and so supportive during the transition. My youngest especially had a difficult time with the transition. The teachers were so patient and kind with his crying at drop off - and would provide us updates on how he was doing via the school app. I also really like how they have big windows into each classroom; I am able to watch my boys and see how happy they are in their classroom before they notice I am there to pick them up. Both of my boys absolutely adore their teachers (Ms. Lindsey, Ms. Liz, Ms. Nicole, and Ms. CeCe) and look forward to seeing their friends every day. Beyond my boys being comfortable and happy - they have also learned so much in their time at Merryhill. Nearly every day I'm surprised by something new they've learned - like my 4 year old learning how to count up to 100, count in tens, learning the months of the year, and starting to read. My youngest learns new words every day, has learned his colors, how to count to ten, and is learning important social skills (like how to share). We feel very fortunate to have found this school and have already re-enrolled them both for next year.
