I have been a stay at home mom, and her transition has not been an easy one, but the staff has been so amazing and helpful. They really focus on the individual child and work with both the child and the parent to really create a comfortable environment.

From the moment my oldest daughter started attending in 2021as well with my youngest starting at 5 months old in 2023 , I felt welcomed and confident in the level of care and attention they both received each day. To now having my oldest graduate preschool. One of the things I love most is how much emphasis is placed on learning through play. The curriculum is both educational and engaging, and seen such growth in both my daughter's social skills and independence. The environment is clean, safe, and thoughtfully organized to encourage exploration and creativity. Communication with parents is also great. So grateful to have found a daycare that feels like a second home for my daughters. Watching them thrive here has given me so much peace of mind, and truly appreciate everything the staff does to create such a nurturing and stimulating environment. Highly recommend!

Little Wildflowers (LWP) is hands-down one of the best preschools in Sonoma County. Maria and…read moreEvelyn (the co-founders/directors and primary teachers) have created an incredibly nurturing school that has made a lasting impact on our family. These two amazing women have poured so much of their lives into developing the school and programs over the last several years, despite the challenges of opening a preschool directly before the COVID shutdown in 2020. The school was initially recommended to us in mid-2020 by another family whose child started there when the school first opened. Looking back, we're incredibly grateful we were told about Little Wildflowers as many of the other preschools had completely shut down due to COVID or had very limited hours (unlike LWP which is open 8am-5:30pm). Our initial meeting/video tour with Maria and Evelyn immediately put our minds at ease given how warm and caring they were, in addition to being very apparent to us that they were not just your standard preschool teachers, but rather business founders and educators who cared deeply about the success of their school and students. Our daughter began attending Little Wildflowers when she was 2.5 years old in the Spring of 2021 and she stayed through her "graduation" in August 2023. She recently started Kindergarten and we can already tell how well prepared she is from both a social and academic perspective. During her 2+ years at Little Wildflowers she made huge strides in her emotional, cognitive, and social development. Not only is the education program here top-notch with daily time spent on arts and crafts, reading, music, language, number/letter work, etc, but also a large amount of time is dedicated to learning more broad behavioral and social skills. We enrolled our daughter here as she was going through a period of transition due to multiple changes in her home life. Maria and Evelyn appreciated our unique situation and were imperative in assisting our daughter as she worked through changes at home and school. Both of them are incredibly caring and provided such a loving and intimate atmosphere for our daughter during her time there. Despite the school being located directly across from the Coddingtown shopping center, the facility is beautiful and very well maintained. The two-classroom building sits on a lovely corner lot with thoughtful landscaping and numerous trees to provide shade. The classrooms trends toward minimalist décor with a Montessori inspiration which gives you a sense of calm (unlike many of the messy and chaotic preschools out there). The school also has a huge outdoor play area which our daughter loved - most days the kids get multiple hours of time to play, explore, and participate in education activities outside. Overall, we can't speak highly-enough about the school and its educators. Against all odds (COVID restrictions, challenges hiring teachers/assistants, growing a new small business, etc) Maria and Evelyn have done an outstanding job creating an environment where young kids can grow freely in a diverse, nurturing, and caring community. Our daughter truly flourished during her time at the school and ended up making many close friends and countless memories (as did we with the other wonderful parents). To provide full transparency, some families might be surprised with the school policies and high level of expectations for both parents and students. These include strict drop-off times, numerous COVID policies (though these have been greatly relaxed over the past year), uniforms requirements, and home-prepared food to be sent every day (other than Fridays). While sometimes challenging, we viewed these polices as overwhelmingly positive which contributed not only to the success of the school, but also benefited the families and students. Plus, preschooler's wearing uniforms is just plain cute. Overall, we're extremely grateful for the school and the amazing talent and hard work that Maria and Evelyn put in every day. If you're on the fence about choosing a preschool for your child, or brand new to the search process, we highly recommend setting up a time to speak with them. If you want your child to be in a safe, nurturing, and educationally focused preschool with the most caring teachers in the world, Little Wildflowers is the place!

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.

My daughter can't wait for her turn to attend. The teachers are wonderful. They are caring & experienced. My son's teachers Ms. Julie, Ms. Nancy, Ms. Vicki, and Ms. Ally are the best of the best. They really love the children and it shows in how happy all of the children are. My son development has flourished here. Besides the usual educational developments like numbers, letters, motor skills, he's learned how to take care of his basic needs, be more independent and interact in a group of children. I love that the school uses the play based learning method & also gives the children ample outdoor playtime. The grounds are beautiful. It's like being in the country with big tree, gardens, and fresh air. BCNS is a great community where the teachers, parents, and children all become friends. They also have a wonderful summer camp program.

We love this preschool and are so glad that these wonderful people (staff members, other students,…read moreand their families) are in our lives. The preschool's web site attracted my attention when I first started considering preschool, and it was the first preschool we visited. We knew, just a few minutes into our visit, that we'd found the perfect place for our child. The program is play-based, focused on the children's interests, and the staff are very warm and engaging with the children. It's a small place (less than 30 children) and has a cozy quality since the preschool is within a former single family home. The food is great (all homemade, generally healthy, and lots of fresh veggies) and the art activities are a lot of fun for our child and have added color and texture to our home. Best of all, our child really loves the teachers and they seem to know her very well despite the fact that she's only there a couple of half days a week. The teachers are gentle and kind to children while helping them learn cool stuff, play, and experiment with various educational materials. It is wonderful to collect our child and to find her immersed in a fun activity, whether it's story time, meeting time, discussion, or outdoor play.
