    Building Blocks Preschool

    Building Blocks Preschool

    (5 reviews)

    While it's difficult to rate a preschool when it's the only one my daughter has attended, I have…read morebeen quite pleased with Building Blocks. The staff is friendly, professional and I get a sense that they are all quite personally invested in what they do. Our daughter was previously attending a small family daycare with 5-6 other children, most of which were younger than her. We've been extremely pleased with her progress since she started coming to Building Blocks and interacting with both a larger peer group as well as older kids, from whom she's learning more advanced behavior. A major factor in choosing this preschool vs. others was our schedule. It was shocking to me how may preschool's charged what were (in my opinion) excessive rates for afternoon care. Though we sometimes feel like a minority in Sonoma County, my partner and I both work full time, so 5:30 is the earliest possible pickup time. Cost wasn't the primary factor for us in choosing Building Blocks, but saving several hundred dollars a month and feeling like our needs were understood was definitely a plus.

    I felt the need to defend Building Blocks Preschool, after reading a review that just popped up…read moreagain this morning from three years ago. Just to be clear, Building Blocks is a PRIVATE Preschool/Pre-K. In a private school setting, monthly tuition is never prorated over breaks such as the typical 2 week winter break. Fortunately, Building Blocks only closes the campus for winter break and a handful of major holidays. They do not take any time for Spring Break, Ski Week or "Teacher in Service" days. So, no, I do not feel taken advantage of. The tuition is reasonable. I currently have two children attending Building Blocks and it's worth every penny of my hard earned money. The kids are never left unattended and are very happy there. It's unbelievable to me, the education and experiences that Building Blocks offers. PS- MaryJo has a lot of responsibility as director of a three level preschool. It's not that you're old news after the "honeymoon period" as previously stated by another reviewer. She's busy!

    Rainbow Bridge Montessori School

    We absolutely love Rainbow Bridge Montessori! My son started here right after his 2nd birthday, and…read morethe positive effects were almost immediate. His manners, his helpfulness, his patience, his independent play, his friendly sociability - all blossomed with the help and gentle guidance of his wonderful teachers! After keeping my son at home with me for the first two years of his life, I was concerned he would have trouble adjusting to a group environment, but he has absolutely flourished and is excited about school and seeing his friends and teachers every morning. We cherish the photo updates we receive throughout the week of whatever the outdoor seasonal activities the kids are doing, along with their regular engaging classroom work. We love this school so much.

    My daughter started at the preparatory class last February, when she was 2.5yrs old. After a few…read moreweeks, I started to hear her say please and thank you. She started helping me with the dishes and asking if we could sit outside to eat. She would tell me about the songs she is learning and teach them to me. Now she's in the primary class, and I couldn't be happier. She just asked me tonight if I could show her California. I google-imaged it. She traced it with her finger, on my phone! Now, I'm certain the kids aren't tracing states on I-Phones in the classroom, but the fact that my 3-year old daughter wanted to see California and was curious about it is so fantastic. She is curious about everything now, she loves books, music, puzzles and spending time outside. I am so pleased that when she's not with me, she's at Rainbow Bridge.

    Carolynn's Montessori for Toddlers - At Peterson's Bee Farm

    Carolynn's Montessori for Toddlers

    (8 reviews)

    Ms. Carolynn and Laura have been such a huge and wonderful part of our lives. When we first moved…read moreto Petaluma we searched all over town for an in-home daycare that would offer quality care at an affordable price for the times that we needed. That narrowed the field quite a bit immediately. With a little more research it was quickly evident that Carolynn's stands apart from the rest. Here's how: While Carolynn runs a small operation, she is professional and offers many things that come with the bigger organizations. She is priced competitively. She offers extended care, before and after the normal school day at a small additional rate. (Extended care was HUGE for our family.) She helps to build community by offering several annual and monthly events including drum class, wood shop class, parent nights, and potlucks. Carolynn offers breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack to the kids. She serves organic foods for the most part. She also has a beautiful garden and nearly everyday she serves produce from her garden to the kids (which the kids often helped to plant and harvest). The kids learn so much about taking care of plants and really enjoy eating all the veggies. Aside from the garden, Carolynn has a small above ground fish pond (not in the school area), small colorful birds, chickens, and many play areas in the school yard. She is a huge animal lover and her beloved dogs and cat mingle with the students throughout the day. Her love of and respect for animals is shared with the kids. In the classroom, Carolynn and Laura work as a united team. They are consistent, kind, fun, and firm. They use a positive discipline approach to correcting misbehaviors. The kids learn many important life skills like putting their things away, hanging their coat, washing their hands before eating, meditation and giving thanks. Students learn through themes (ex: rainforest) and practice all sorts of skills through independent work. They focus on one letter and number each day and the hand sign that goes with it. Both Carolynn and Laura communicate easily and often with parents. We don't go more than a couple days without a picture or a story in text-form. It always brightens our day. When they have successes or concerns with our son they share them immediately. Carolynn seeks solutions to any problems in a loving and persistent manner, often seeking parent participation in the solution. Carolynn and Laura know our son. They really know him. He is VERY energetic, opinionated, caring, and intelligent. So, in short, he's a handful. We couldn't imagine any place better for him. He goes to a daycare (school) where the adults care for him. They are consistent in their expectations of him. And he is challenged by them. We are very thankful we enrolled our son in Carolynn's Montessori and had 3 wonderful years there! We can not wait until our younger son starts there! (Many families send multiple kids through her program!)

    Our son loves going to Carolynn's. When I say we are visiting Carolynn's, he runs to the door…read moreyelling, "Visit Carolynn's! Visit Carolynn's!" We can't get out the door fast enough. And he always comes home with new phrases or idea about what is going on around him. He's not even two, yet, and we see his mind is open a little bit more each time he comes home. It is run out of her home, but it is a separate, good-size, room. In addition, the children go out back and play in an amazing play-yard. They also help garden and feed the chickens and clean up. Carolynn is wonderful with the children. She really understands them, since she has been working with kids for many years. Her experience shows and helps us, since this is our first child. Her two assistants, Joanie and Geneva are also fabulous. They are all so patient and understanding with the kids. We couldn't be happier with where we send our son.
