My grandson feels very comfortable and at home there. I appreciate the healthy rhythm of each day which includes lots of time for play-inside and out, circle time, art, cooking, and shared mealtimes. The outside play area is lovely, with plenty of opportunities for sensory experiences with sand and water play, swings, a climbing structure and more. Inside is peaceful and serene with toys that inspire the children to develop their imagination and creativity. I also appreciate that the children are supported in working together, speaking their needs, and developing practical life skills by doing what they can for themselves. Birthdays at Colibri are very special too!

Miss Megan and Miss Mary are in tune with the kids and create a bond that helps build self esteem, knowledge and all while still having fun. Miss Megan has been a pillar in the community for over 20 years and I have to add has left an everlasting impression on all the little people she encounters. A gem of a preschool.

The teachers are very good at helping during drop off. Everyday, my child is welcomed with a warm and loving teacher. All the staff is wonderful. I trust them 100% with my child. I know they are taking good care of her and she is all smiles there. This is the BEST DAYCARE! I would encourage anyone to pick this one.

I am so happy to have found this magical place. My son is generally hesitant and cautious around…read morenew people and new places that it takes him awhile to warm up. We started last fall in the Parent and Me class and the growth I have seen from day 1 to now is just incredible. He's able to have conversations with other adults, wave and give high fives, and love being around the other kids. We bumped up to 2 days a week last January, and I feel very strongly that the older kiddos really helped my son find his voice. It's nice that we weren't locked in for the year going 1 day a week. We are able to discuss with the director how we as parents feel things are going and can change our program when we all agree it's time. The director is absolutely top notch. She's intentional with every activity she sets out for the kids, and lets the kids take the lead (within reason). She's in tune with the needs of every child, flexible, caring, and has helped me as a first-time mom relax and trust my son's timeline. It also helps that my son is also really drawn to her, and talks about her all the time! A co-op is a co-operation program where both parents and teachers are helping to guide children throughout their early developmental years. As parents, we contribute to the learning environment by fostering communication skills, gross and fine motor skills, develop social-emotional understanding and respect, and learning independence. I love how I get to stay and be there with my son. I am able to see how he grows, and I can take on duties to ensure a healthy and clean environment. I'm so excited to see how "Caterpillars" go this year because this will be the first time my son will be at school 3 days a week for 3 hours and only 1 of those days I will be with him.

I wish I had this experience when I was a kid! Our oldest just graduated from CRPCNS and our two younger kids are so lucky they get to experience the school too!!!!

. This was by far the worst daycare experience I've ever had…read more Staff were consistently unprofessional and disorganized. I regularly dropped my child off with people who weren't her teachers--including kitchen staff--which is completely unacceptable. Teachers called out so often that my child was frequently left with unfamiliar caregivers, DAILY and parents were never properly informed. The environment felt chaotic every single morning--screaming children, no structure, and no sense of control. Even more concerning, when my child had issues with other kids being abusive . staff did nothing to address it. There were also serious concerns about staff behavior and overall supervision that made me question whether this is an appropriate or safe environment for children at all. I would not recommend this place to any parent. They need major changes in staffing, accountability, and basic professionalism.

5 Stars - KinderCare Has Been a Blessing!…read more We came to KinderCare after a difficult experience at a previous daycare that felt unprofessional and poorly managed. My older son would come home angry and sad. He was regularly put in timeouts and had his playtime taken away for what they called "bad behavior." They even claimed he had choked another child at just three years old, which was shocking and completely out of character. He would cry and beg not to go. That's when we knew we had to make a change. From the moment we toured KinderCare, we felt a difference. The staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. They also accept 4Cs, which was a huge help. From day one, my son came home smiling. He has been happy to go every single day since. His teacher, Emily, has been especially wonderful. She's patient, kind, and really understands my strong-willed child. She works with him thoughtfully and helps him thrive in a way that feels supportive rather than punitive. She's been instrumental in helping him adjust and grow. KinderCare also recently welcomed my one-year-old, and again, the experience has been amazing. I could tell from the very first day that he had a great time with the staff and the other children. It gave me so much peace of mind to know that both my kids are happy, safe, and truly cared for. KinderCare doesn't just supervise children--they see them, understand them, and support them as individuals. I can't recommend them highly enough!

This is the best daycare in Sonoma County. My children attended this school for three years, and we…read moreonly left because we had to move. Both of our children loved every teacher and every classroom they were in throughout the years. They were always excited to go to TLE, and they believed that every classmate was their friend. The classrooms were lovely, clean and well organized. The meal plan was superb, and very convenient. The outdoor play areas were large, shaded, customized to age range and abilities, and filled with bikes, water pads, and sensory toys. Communication with the director, Kenzie, and assistant director, Rosie, was immediate, considerate and thorough. Our eldest was fully prepared for kindergarten when she graduated from TLE. She understood classroom dynamics and expectations, and she had mastered measurable skills in language, reading, math and art. Our youngest was loved and nurtured during his time at TLE, and the teachers were incredible at supporting us during potty-training and different developmental stages. There is a lot of love, care, and attention to detail in this safe, professional and fun little school. We miss it a lot!

She's warm, welcoming, and has this effortless way of connecting with both kids and parents, which, in my book, is a rare and magical combo. My kids absolutely adores her, and I can see why. She brings such positive energy and always seems to be in ten places at once, without missing a beat. She's also incredibly organized! The kind of person who somehow makes school events, updates, and reminders feel easy to keep up with (and I barely remember what day it is). You can tell she really cares about the families and puts her heart into the work. We feel lucky to have someone like Ms. Kenzie at the school, it's made all the difference for our family!

I can't say enough great things about Mixed Greens!!! Our son LOVED going to school from day one :)…read morewhen we went to pick him up he had the biggest smile on his face and didn't want to leave! Everyday he says how excited he is to go to school... it's just so priceless to see that sparkle of joy and curiosity in his eyes. He constantly mentions how everyone is just do kind, fun and welcoming. We looked at many preschools and knew it in our hearts that Mixed Greens was the right place for him. We know how early childhood education is extremely important because it is the foundation for their emotional and social development. Mixed Greens has a Reggio Emilia approach that is incredibly thoughtful in so may ways and rooted in the belief that children experience the world and express themselves in a hundred different languages (like words, movement, drawings, paintings, buildings, sculptures, and more), recognizing that children are extremely capable of having agency to lead their learning process. Mixed Greens is much more than a traditional preschool and truly creates an environment that develops the whole child to inspire a life-long love for learning. Thank you Heather Ashton Black and the entire staff for creating this amazing preschool and allowing us be part of that beautiful family!
