I wanted to make sure I found a place that was a good fit for him after so much change. We're so fortunate to have found Storybook. Miss Nicole, Miss Amanda, and Miss Monica are amazing. They truly take the time to know each child and it appears to me that they really nurture the unique personalities of each one. My son is so happy to go to school. He talks about all the things they do and he is flourishing in their care. Knowing that my son is thriving eases my Mama heart and that's all I can hope for in this world.

My husband and I both have very high stress demanding jobs and it is so nice to know I don't have to stress while my son is at la petit because I get constant updates and photos/videos! I like to pop on the video stream to see the fun activities in his program and he loves playing! I recommend this school and have nothing but great things to say! The only tiniest complaint would be that it says the school opens at 6: 30 ,but they actually open at 7am , which is really what I needed so it's been a little hard to drop my son off but other than that 10/10. We've had a very great experience so far! And the teachers love to snuggle with my baby boy(he's a big cuddler), and seeing that just melts my heart!

Our family loves La Petite Academy in Santa Rosa! My 3 year old currently attends preschool and my…read more9 and 11 year old attended from babies until Kinder. My youngest has the same teachers my older ones had, Ms. Maria and Ms. Amita :) and she gets to visit Ms. Ranee is the two's classroom. A highlight for me is being able to go on the app and watch a live feed at anytime of my daughter in class and updates with photos throughout the day. As a busy, working mom it keeps my mind at ease being able to see her happy and thriving all day. I highly recommend La Petite if you're looking for childcare. They will learn and have fun all day, they even have extra curricular activities you can sign up for like soccer and Spanish class. I'm forever thankful for ALL of the teachers and directors here! 5 Stars!

Initially, the transition from home…read morelife to a school environment was somewhat challenging, but thanks to the kindness, patience, and support of Ms. Ranee and Ms. Katie, he adjusted quickly and comfortably. During his time here, he has learned and grown tremendously. He recently transitioned to the preschool classroom with Ms. Maria and enjoys it just as much as his previous class. The staff have created a warm, nurturing environment where children feel supported and engaged. It's clear that the children are genuinely happy, which speaks volumes about the quality of care and education provided.

It's nearly impossible to put into words how much we love and are thankful for Plum Oaks!…read morePlum Oaks was the most loving, nurturing, supportive environment and the best educational opportunity we could have ever given our children. We sent both of our boys to Plum Oaks at the age of 2, and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. Both Jody and Gail cultivate a nurturing, explorative, and positive environment you cannot find anywhere else. Nestled in the countryside between Sebastopol and Santa Rosa, Plum Oaks is the perfect setting for your kids to learn and explore their surroundings. Preschool age educational activities, gardening, feeding animals, and outdoor play are just a few of the things your child will experience at Plum Oaks. Both Gail and Jody are "toddler whispers" and know how to positively communicate with your child for their age level. My husband and I have learned a lot from both of them. Now that our boys entered elementary school, we feel that Plum Oaks helped prepare them for the transition. We miss the entire Plum Oaks family and couldn't recommend their childcare highly enough. Thank you, Gail and Jody, for all you have done for our family.

My son excelled at Plum Oaks and we are so grateful for our time there.

First and foremost, I just wanted to take a tour of the school, no commitment. However it seems at…read morethis school that is not an option. When I called I was told they only have a "tour season" what ever that means. Which I would think would be right about now for the Aug 2017 school year but apparently this "tour season" it's already over and tours are not given at this time. Instead I was instructed to go on the their website to get all the info I needed and fill out an application to be put on a waiting list. Hmmmmm, waiting list for a tour? I'm not even sure I want my child to go here as of yet. Why would I want to be put on a waiting list for school I wasn't even allowed to see?? Kinda of hash stance to take for a school who only has a 3 star rating. Any case, first impressions are everything to me whether it be on the phone or in person. Needless to say this was not a good one. With so many choices for preschools in the Santa Rosa area I'll be moving on ...

When we were searching for daycare/preschool for our then 2-year-old, who needed stimulation than…read morewe or a nanny could provide, our priorities were cleanliness, a large outdoor area, and, most importantly, warm and caring teachers. Little Wildflowers exceeded our expectations. And their awareness of how parents feel entrusting their children to someone else was beyond what I had expected. Our son was in a phase of 'stranger danger' when we first met Ms. Maria, but he felt immediately comfortable with her, which was a sign for us. Initially, we wanted to start with just a few days a week and gradually increase, but thanks to the integration period at LWF, within a few weeks he was happily attending full days and loving it. Both Evelyn and Maria work incredibly hard and are true professionals. There have been weekends when my son wanted to go to LWF. Statements directly from my little one: Me: How was your day at school? LO: It was great, just great! Me: Do you like going to school? LO: Yes, I do! Me: What do you like about it? LO: I like my teachers and friends. He always comes home happy, and we are so thankful for LWF. They even helped potty train our son, something I expected to be much more challenging, but like everything else, Evelyn and Maria made that transition relatively effortless.

During a day and age where many of us just don't know what to believe - the best we can do no…read morematter our belief, is to keep ourselves and loved ones safe. Better to be safe than sorry right? Little Wildflowers Preschool has instilled this idea deep into their moral fiber so that you - the parent will know without a doubt that they are always doing everything in their power to keep your children and family safe. Safe from viruses, predators and/or all dangers alike. This private preschool is female owned and operated by two highly experienced individuals with over 10 years experience. They will give your children the highest level of education, care and LOVE while keeping their program fun and exciting for their developing minds. With a HUUUUUUUGGGEEE backyard for outdoor fun, exploration and exercise your kids will get the perfect balance of indoor/outdoor time. Anyone who is in process of looking for a preschool for your children I leave you with this advise. Read their school policies. Read about their covid policies. Ask them questions about these policies and their program and if you agree with it all then send your kids here - you wont regret it! On the other hand if you don't agree with any single policy at all, find a place that fits your views better because there is no leniency here for any parent who thinks they will come and challenge the school. Thank you Maria and Evelyn for building a safe and protected environment for the children!
