    Both of my children (boy and girl) attended El Dorado Hills Preschool and I cannot speak highly…read moreenough about the program and the teachers! My children developed their social skills, acclimated to structure and were academically prepared for kindergarten. I volunteered extensively in both of my children's kindergarten classrooms and was pleased to see that El Dorado Hills Preschool had them at an academic level (knowing letters, numbers and some basic sight words) that put them at the top of their classes. While this is wonderful, what makes the program exceptional, is that they were always having fun and it never felt like work. Their imaginations and creativity were encouraged! EDH Preschool made learning fun so they loved to learn, which continues to serve them well in elementary school. Miss Kim and Miss Stephanie are nurturing and gifted teachers. They have endless energy and their passion for children and teaching is evident. There is no one I would recommend more than these two to help mold my children and prepare them for elementary school.

It was always nice dropping her off and knowing that she was well loved and would be taken care of. The classroom setup is perfect for little ones. They do education based activities, but in a very age appropriate way...lots of singing, arts and crafts, and hands on activities. Their hours are better than most preschools that I looked into and the cost was very reasonable. As a former teacher, I could not be happier with my decision to send my daughter to El Dorado Hills Preschool. Stephanie E.

From the very beginning, the director and teachers in my daughter's classroom created a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment where she is genuinely cared for every single day. As a working parent, there is no greater gift than the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is safe, happy, and in caring hands. Every morning, I drop my daughter off with complete confidence, and every afternoon, I pick up a happy little girl. That sense of trust and reassurance means more to our family than words can express. The site director, Sandra, has built something truly special. Her leadership is reflected in every member of the staff, who consistently demonstrate kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for the children they serve. We are incredibly grateful for the care they provide our daughter every day. The peace of mind they give our family is invaluable, and I wholeheartedly recommend the Broadstone location to any parent looking for exceptional childcare. I also want to give a special thank you to Ms. Leah. My daughter loves her, and her care and kindness have made a meaningful difference in our experience.

Moving to Cadence was a blessing. We had researched many different facilities prior to choosing this location. Their standards for cleanliness and curriculum are above superb. Their staff ratios are always followed, and everyone is so kind hearted. Leah has been absolutely amazing in the cuddle bugs classroom. She always keeps us well informed and updated on his progress. This facility really does go above and beyond for the children and their families.

When I asked what happened to my daughter to the main teacher, the teacher had no idea and the teacher said to follow up but never got a response back. COVID-19 response The staff never wore masks and never required kids to wear masks but one Monday all staff were masked up, it was eerie. Later that day, the school notified me that my kids were exposed to COVID-19 with no details of exposure, and the school was closed for a week. The tuition was reimbursed. Discipline Policy There was a child who is disruptive and harmful to other students, the school had no procedure to correct the kid's behavior. The kid was aware of no consequences for his behavior and bullied kids who were playing alone or kids who doesn't retaliate. Teachers appeared not responsive until kids scream, cry, or tell teachers for help. Basic manners such as taking turns, sharing with others, and being kind to others were not important to teachers and were not disciplined. If these are not taught in a school, why should I even bother sending my kid here? My kid got chased, sand over her hair, and her sand castle was destroyed by one kid. The staff never tried to stop the bullying behavior, they didn't even know it was happening. Teacher-to-Student ratio The school advertises a 1:6 ratio. One teacher and two assistant teachers for 18 kids. However, that's only in the classroom. When kids are outside at the playground, the teacher stays inside the classroom and only assistant teachers are monitoring the kids.

I was skeptical at first worry that the curriculum is similar to the preschool class they are in. It is NOT the same. Ms Seema first year teaching the STEM class. She is amazing, very caring, and patience with the kids. The girls love her. I love seeing the girls get excited on the subject they learned and telling me about it when I picked them up. Their favorite is the binary code, electricity, technology & circuits.... Their dad was working on something over the wknd and the girls said to dad, "that is a circuit board". Melt my heart that they remember and talk about it at home.

It is such a wonderful and welcoming community. All the teachers and staff know our daughter and us and it feels like dropping her off with extended family in the mornings. The mixed age class has been such a great way for our child to learn when she was younger and, now, develop into a leader and teacher. Her teachers have been amazing at developing a relationship with her and honing in on how she likes to learn so all the learning feels fun for her. We are so thankful for the past four years and sad to move on!

They are in the Primary and Toddler rooms and have learned so much just in the year they have attended! I am constantly in awe at their growth, independence, learning of life skills and respect for others, themselves and the environment. They immediately felt right at ease here and are excited to attend each day. This school teaches all the right things at this age! My 4 year old is on the verge of reading already and my 2 year old's language skills are exceptional with her communication skills and ability to make connections. The guides, assistants and entire staff are all phenomenal and so caring and attentive to my little girls. The school really feels like a family and I am so grateful they attend here. I wish the programs extended to elementary and middle school as it will be a sad day when they have to leave this caring nest! Bergamo is Worth. Every. Penny!

(Also I didn't feel like half day K was enough for her inquisitive mind.) The school was flexible about our unusual attendance arrangement, though understandably, it didn't cost much less for a half day slot vs. full day. They always made her feel welcome when she came in mid-day. She really loved it there, despite being a kid who chafes at rules at home - she really thrived in that environment. Teacher Angela was fantastic and they quickly gave my child appropriate work for her level since she started already knowing how to read and being able to do basic addition and subtraction. Their written evals were detailed and helpful, and I felt like they really got to know my child in a short time. Their summer program was fantastic and their extended care option was flexible for the times we needed a little extra care. They also had a fantastic "Parents Night Out" where they also welcomed siblings, and we took advantage of that a few times. This is a true Montessori, where kids are expected to learn how to be self-directed. We came from less-rigid Montessori schools, so getting used to the strict dress code was hard for us as parents, but my daughter was fine with it. Our daughter entered a rigorous Mandarin immersion program the next year in 1st grade, and Madrone prepared her VERY well for it. I'd highly recommend it if you are open to a more academic environment for your pre-K/kindergartner and want to encourage independence.

    **Welcome to "Strictly Business Daycare" - Where Parents' Frustrations Are Our Specialty!**…read more Are you tired of peace of mind and need more daily disruptions? Do you enjoy being pulled away from work for mysterious fevers that magically disappear the moment you arrive? Then look no further than Strictly Business Daycare! At Strictly Business Daycare, we pride ourselves on making sure your life is as difficult as possible. We know it's just daycare, but we believe in making you jump through every hoop we can think of - because, after all, it's "required by code." Need to use diaper cream or kid's ibuprofen? Better have that doctor's note ready! Want to switch to oat milk for your lactose-sensitive child? Get that prescription form signed and stamped, please! But don't worry, after you provide it, we'll either misplace it or start insinuating that you're sneaking vitamins and minerals into those bottles, sending them back home with a warning that you're violating "code" while we still give your child dairy. Because why bother with consistency when we can keep you constantly on edge? And for everything else, we'll make sure to turn it into a paperwork marathon, because we're all about "following the rules." Our receptionists are multitasking masters, constantly running between handling parent issues, bus transportation, and the occasional break to actually man the front desk. And if you need to speak with the director? Good luck! They're always "too busy" with important issues like focusing on making sure the office is seasonally decorated to perfection. Real concerns? Not so much. But hey, at least the place looks beautiful and smells like pumpkin spice in Fall, even if it's all fake - just like the care we claim to provide. But don't just take our word for it - experience firsthand how our subpar cleaning will keep little ones perpetually snotty. After all, what's childhood without a constant stream of colds? We're proud to say that in just four months, we can make even the most seasoned daycare parents wish they'd never walked through our doors. But don't worry, after those few long months, you'll be just as grateful as other parents who have finally escaped to a new daycare that actually cares about your child's well-being. It's night and day - literally. Where else can you almost lose your job and your sanity? Only at Strictly Business Daycare! **Strictly Business Daycare - Because Who Needs a Nurturing Environment When We Have Rules to Enforce?*
