We couldn't be happier with our experience at Smart Start! From the moment I called to schedule a…read moretour as a panicked first time mom leaving her child somewhere for the first time, it was clear that this place is special. The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and truly passionate about the children and the parents honestly. My daughter flourished here as the learning is fun and educational, with plenty of hands-on activities and lots of things to take home as memories. By the age of 3, she knew all of her ABCs, could point out any letter, numbers and started learning how to write her name. I loved the daily updates and photos I got. The teachers also took the time to understand my childs needs and interests, and if any changes happened at home, they ensured to help with them at school the best they could. I couldn't have asked for a safer, better school to help keep my baby safe and get her a jump start on school.

If you were looking for the best preschool in Chico, CA, look no further!! We've had our daughter…read moregoing there since she was an infant and can't say enough good things about Smart Start!! They're about "the whole child" and not of the philosophy of simply a "day-care"; but truly invest in the learning, social skills and overall best well being of all of their children. Their staff is amazing and give each and every child the individual attention that we, as parents, hope that our children get. Their facility is consistently clean, and their classrooms are large and spacious. If you've done your research and looked into other pre-schools (as we did...and quite extensively), you'll know exactly what I'm referring to. Bravo Teacher Ann, and her loving staff for investing in OUR next generation and future!!

This review Is long overdue, but I cannot overstate the…read moreprogress that my toddlers have made here at Little Treasures. My daughter was 2 years old when she started but very behind with speech due to isolation from the lockdowns/mandates. This Preschool has performed wonders as she is now talking up a storm and singing her heart out with all the adorable songs they learn. She even teaches them to her baby brother at home! It is literally the most heart-warming experience to see my babies suddenly singing in unison. Aside from education (she can count to 30 now), she has developed super close friendships here and social skills at such a young age! My baby boy was 10 months old when he started. I felt completely secure with him at Little Treasures right away, as the child care is top-notch. I do not exaggerate when I say these teachers are truly loving and genuine, not to mention experienced. Every single one of them. Miss Michelle really knows how to find the good ones. Also, Director and Teachers alike have impeccable memory and organization. That's big for me since I'm very detail-oriented! It's been wonderful being able to depend on this daycare/Preschool. P.S. I watched as Miss Michelle put her heart and soul into this new location, perfectly planning all the different stations that intertwine learning with play. Also, the outdoor playground is akin to an amusement park as my daughter is always begging to stay. You know it's a good sign when your children race to put their own shoes on, ready to go to Preschool! Thank you Little Treasures for being such a special place in our children's lives

I've seen Growth in his development and growth in his personality. The teachers are the kindest people I've ever got to know and work so great with the kids. The curriculum is set and consistent and it shows when my 2 year old comes home singing the songs he'd leaned! He's singing the days of the week and counting to 20! My kid delayed in speech and Michelle was the only person to support and guide me to give my son the help he needs to communicate better and develop better speech. The teachers also helped him with regulating his emotions through helpful communication and now he uses more words than I expected him to use. I'm proud of my son of who he's growing into because of the dedicated support from all the teachers. I trust these teachers with my son's life and I couldn't ask for a better family to help me support my son.

I have a student at Ipakanni who has gone full force ahead on her schoolwork, thanks to one of her…read moreteachers, Mr.Free. My daughter had previously struggled academically at another local public school. We had the opportunity to speak with Mr.Free about her difficulties, in which he in turn explained the possibilities for her at Ipakanni. She started school at Ipakanni the very next week. Because of the school's model, my daughter has had the opportunity to complete two history books in just two months. She is on target to graduate next year, which is a year earlier than if she were in a typical public school. Now, I obviously owe a huge (loving) thumbs up! to my daughter who has taken responsibility for her education, but I'd also like to thank Ipakanni for being there and giving students an opportunity to excel and succeed. Ipakanni is positively changing the lives of many students, who elsewhere may not have the same encouragement and unique opportunities that only Ipakanni offers. Thank you, Ipakanni!

5 Stars Our son just turned two and has been attending Chico…read moreChild Development Center on Palmetto since March. He's always been a very sensitive and clingy little guy, so leaving him anywhere has been tough for us in the past. But this center has really helped with that. From our very first visit, Shelly made him feel right at home and he didn't want to leave--he loved playing, exploring, and immediately connected with the staff. The team is warm and welcoming, but I have to highlight a few people who have made a huge impact. He absolutely adores the lead of the center, and his favorite teachers are Miss Jada and Miss Chloe. Miss Chloe truly has a gift when it comes to working with kids--she's incredibly gentle, kind, and understanding. She just has this calming presence that makes me feel completely at peace leaving my child in her care. She's also amazing about sharing updates through the parent portal, with thoughtful notes and sweet pictures that give us a real sense of how our son is doing throughout the day. Miss Jada is also wonderful--she's so thorough and attentive. I really appreciate how she keeps us informed not only about how much he's eaten and what he's played with, but also how he's doing emotionally. That level of care means everything to us. We feel so lucky to have found a place that feels like a second home for our son. Knowing he's in such loving, capable hands brings us so much comfort. We're truly grateful for the team.

If I could give zero stars I would!! I hate this place and…read moremy son ended hating it as well. I will repeat this as in my pictures, Val, was amazing she should be the one running the place. I will say a little more than what my pictures say, my son was picked up by his dad there were times he would find him playing outside, in nothing but underwear, sometimes he'd be dressed but with no shoes. And in bad weather. We'd show up to get him they would also not know where is stuff is including shoes which is always supposed to be in cubby, and if it wasn't my son would get blamed. He was a toddler. I don't understand how they put all of these expectations on small children not even school aged just starting to learn these things. Ang, has been fired since but she would literally tell us our son was put of control and she couldn't handle him and she would be mad!!! This place blew my mind.
