Since Mrs. Robin took over last summer, Merryhill has undergone an incredible transformation. Under…read moreprevious leadership, the school faced numerous violations--so severe that the state took them to court in an effort to revoke their license. It was a deeply concerning time for families, but Mrs. Robin stepped in and turned everything around with remarkable speed and dedication. Her proactive approach, attention to detail, and genuine care for the children, staff, and families have completely reshaped the school into a safe, nurturing, and well-run environment. The difference is undeniable--our most recent inspection under her leadership was completely clean, with zero violations. It's incredible to see how quickly she addressed past concerns and built a community that prioritizes both education and well-being. She is hands-on, communicative, and always looking for ways to improve. Any learning environment she is a part of is truly fortunate to have her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! A special mention also goes to Mrs. Amy, who stepped in as temporary admin when the transition began--her hard work in getting the school back on track was invaluable. And my daughter absolutely loves spending time in Mrs. Mayra's classroom--she always comes home so happy on the days she's with her!

The teachers are very talented and connected with my son from the first day. Their activities were amazing: well thought out crafts and fun learning tasks. My son loved the activities and couldn't stop talking about them afterwards. The outdoor area is a beautiful and natural setting, and the size of a small park. Lots of room to play. The indoor setting is incredible. All around, this is a fantastic place. I wish my son could go here for years.

We love EGM! Our family has been bringing our children here since early 2022, and we're so grateful…read morethat our youngest is able to attend as well. We believe all the EGM staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the students. We have complete confidence knowing our kids are in such good hands every day. Our oldest first started in the toddler room (S/o to Ms. Emily!), and what he learned throughout his time at EGM was incredible. Although he wasn't eligible for TK in EGUSD due to the birthdate cutoff, he entered kindergarten well prepared. We couldn't be happier with the care and education our children have received and highly recommend this daycare to other families.

They create a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, encouraged, and excited to learn every day. What stands out most is the school's dedication to helping each child become confident, independent, and respectful. The communication between staff and parents is excellent, and it's clear that everyone genuinely cares about the students' success. I've seen so much growth in my children since attending this school, and I couldn't be happier with the education and support they receive. I highly recommend Elk Grove Montessori to any parent looking for a nurturing, high-quality learning environment. Thank you to the amazing teachers and staff for everything you do for my children!

My older children who are now in grade school miss it so much and have fond memories and life-long friends who they see at annual alumni events. Ms. Taz has a ton of experience and her presence brings calm not just her students but to parents as well! The practical skills that they learn are so wonderful in addition to other experiential learning opportunities like field trips, story book days, Holi, and more! Thank you, Ms. Taz for providing such an amazing experience for our children.

My son was previously attending a traditional pre-school setting (a very popular corporate named…read moreschool in the Sacramento area). We had mixed luck with his teachers, and I was left wanting a closer relationship with the person spending a bulk of the day with my child. From the moment I met Ms. Taz in her classroom for a tour, I felt an instant sense of calm and connection. My son felt comfortable enough to start interacting with the classroom materials. Not to mention, it felt pretty amazing to see a South Asian woman of color (just like me) leading the classroom. Over the last 2 years, I've been able to see my son gain independence, social skills, and learn how to be respectful. Ms. Taz is always available to answer any concerns or questions that I may have. I feel comfortable approaching her, and appreciate the small and diverse classroom size which fosters a close relationship between my son and other students in the classroom. As a newish parent, it has also been comforting to finally have a small community of parent friends that we spend time with and can depend on. I can't wait till our baby girl is old enough to be an LLM student.

Peace Preschool has been an absolute blessing for our family. All three of our children have…read moreattended this incredible school, and the positive impact it has had on their early development is undeniable. Each of them entered kindergarten not only prepared academically but also socially and emotionally ready to thrive. The teachers at Peace Preschool are truly remarkable--patient, compassionate, and so skilled at nurturing a love for learning in every child. They create an environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to explore. The curriculum strikes the perfect balance between structured learning and creative play, fostering curiosity and independence. One of the things we've appreciated most is how much Peace Preschool emphasizes building strong social skills and character. Our kids learned kindness, teamwork, and conflict resolution, which have carried over into their relationships and classroom behavior in kindergarten. As a parent, I always felt completely at ease knowing my children were in such capable and caring hands. The communication from the staff is excellent, and the entire community of families is warm and welcoming. If you're looking for a preschool that will give your children the foundation they need to excel in school and beyond, look no further than Peace Preschool. I can't recommend it enough!

They did a great job of not overloading us (parents) with bad news, and only offered suggestions when asked. Sabrina, the director, always provided good news to go along with bad.

There's so many other centers in Elk Grove (that take child action) please don't need to settle for this place. Sara the owner will gaslight your child before they take anything serious other than protecting her business. In it for the money, not for kids. Said my son was a liar for communicating the way his four year old brain knows how. She shouldn't be involved in childcare. She's a business owner & that's it, she needs to be in another industry. In the video where my son got hurt, an employee walks past as my son holds his eye and somehow no one noticed. No one investigated camera footage or filed injury reports or told his dad or me until I said something the next day (even though his eye was visibly red.) My son crawled towards a kid who accidentally poked his eye. Sara the owner said either my son poked himself or this other child did, because my son fast crawled towards him to headbutt him. My son crawled normally towards him and was clearly not trying to headbutt him, he was acting as a four year old would, going up to someone to play. His eye got poked and she was turning it around on my son as if it's his fault, rather than being a mature adult. He is four years old. The owner Sara said all these kids are like her kids, but she spelt my sons name wrong & I have never seen her. She said think about the other child and his mom, what about my son- the one who got hurt? No one said they were sorry my son got hurt or hoped he was okay. She disenrolled my son without ever asking about my sons eye. She does not care about a child more than her business. During the time he went there my son told me that he plugs chargers in the wall and that his teacher told him he will be fat if he doesn't workout. Other situations would happen and I would ask about them, not accuse. I would tell them what my son would tell me and ask about it. Every time I'd be told that "they didn't see or hear anything like that happen." Somehow no one sees or hears anything here. It's clearly a communication problem and/or not paying attention. I got attitude from his teacher before too, and when I brought it up it was just denied.
