If you're looking for a preschool where children spend their days outdoors, learning through…read morecuriosity, creativity, and genuine engagement rather than simply being supervised, Seasons is something truly special. Simone has created something remarkable. With over 20 years in early childhood education, a Master's in Early Childhood Education, and a background in psychology, she brings an incredible depth of knowledge to the school. But what impressed us just as much is how much she genuinely cares. She is constantly going above and beyond to create a magical experience not only for the children, but for the families as well. From community-building events and moms' and dads' nights out to thoughtfully curated classroom experiences, you can feel how intentional everything is. The curriculum is one of the school's greatest strengths. Rather than following a static program, each unit is child-led and immersive. During our time there, our daughter explored topics like architecture, airplanes, insects, and famous artists. She came home excited to tell us about Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, and Van Gogh, and her artistic abilities and confidence have flourished in ways we never expected at her age. Every theme feels carefully designed with hands-on experiences that make children genuinely excited to learn. Oftentimes parents are invited to shows ending the larger projects. The teaching staff deserves equal recognition. Simone has surrounded herself with educators who have dedicated themselves to early childhood education. They aren't simply hourly childcare workers--they are professionals who understand child development and clearly love what they do. We've been so grateful for the consistency, warmth, and enthusiasm of Astrid, Stephanie, and Jocelyn over the years. Seeing the same familiar, smiling faces each day gave our daughter wonderful continuity and helped create such a secure environment. One of the things we appreciated most was that the children are outside almost every day, regardless of the weather. It teaches resilience, fosters a love of nature, keeps them active, and encourages imaginative play in a way that's difficult to replicate inside four walls. We've never referred to Seasons as a daycare because that's simply not what it is. It is a preschool in the truest sense of the word; a place that nurtures curiosity, confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. We feel incredibly fortunate that our family found Seasons. Our daughter has thrived there, and there isn't a stronger endorsement we could give than the fact that our younger daughter will be attending as soon as she's old enough.

The teachers are true professionals: knowledgeable, experienced, and the perfect balance of structured yet kind. The school is expertly designed by Simone who holds a Masters in Early Childhood education with decades of experience. Every detail from the mud kitchen, to the various imaginative play areas, to the garden, to the sand area encourage learning in various essential ways. The school is child-led in many of the activities and units of study, yet the staff has the developmental goals of students are always carefully woven in. We had a choice of doing a 3rd year at Seasons or TK and we chose Seasons for the staff and the beautiful community they have built. I never once worried at drop off that my child would be safe, loved, and guided. Thank you Seasons of Wonder!

The community of parents is extraordinary and we've made some amazing friends.

I had to just edit cause her name popped into my head. Her name was Ann. And I got emails to prove…read morethat she said that I was forcing my kids to read for punishment. It was fucking rude and disrespectful like, who the fuck are you. And our kids are supposed to read 20 minutes a day. This email will be in my book about the trauma that my kids have gone through since 2015. I wanna give you four stars cause you helped me with kids in their homework, but you also were not beneficial to them in private emails. My kids went there for years. But some shady shit was going on. I can't remember her name but she told me I made my kids read for punishment and an email that I still have. But my kids were supposed to read for 20 minutes every day. It was a great place for my kids. They helped with homework because my ex said he doesn't do homework. Everything was put on me and my kids and then when they weren't failing, it was all my fault. But there were also secret court dates in Napa Courts that I do believe that they were involved in and hopefully, the truth comes out with our investigation. Sylvan is a great place as long as they do not get involved in your business. Our traumatize or help traumatize your kids. Our help traumatized are ruining your kid's education to where they do not care anymore. I will not have my kids go back here at all. And you sat there and listened to conversations and still chose the other side and not my kids. Documentations everything I say I've been undercover since 2015. Emails are everything. And yes, I do believe they were in a family court having private meetings. But everybody's gonna know because I have a book and I shared all my information so if anything happens to me, somebody else will publish my book. I would ask for the money back is probably in the hundred thousand. But I didn't pay for it. Precaution and careful and pay attention. And stick up for your kids, even though I did. But I don't know why it took so long for the corruption that's going on around me and my kids to stop and maybe if I had done something a long time ago my kids would've had a better education. I'm not gonna say it on here but if you want further investigation and you're going through hell in Napa Courts and they get involved, there's always a loophole in the law. And if I do find out you were in secret courtrooms trust me I'm posting it everywhere and will pay for advertisement. I don't know how many stars I should give you because you helped me out, but you also went behind my back and neglected my kids in the process. This may not have anything to do with them, but I and a bunch of other people piled up in cars and went to the FBI. Hopefully, everything's investigated now. But there's another investigation going on. I wanna know about this court date. And who is there? So do I give you five stars cause you help my kid or do I give you one star because you kind of screwed us over in the process?

Every month the school sends out the curriculum and theme they follow, and days are filled with fun activities, dress up ideas and projects all focused on learning. You get a full schedule (art, circle time, literacy, outdoor and STEAM) of what they do and updates of their day via the app. I loved seeing pictures of my child enjoying each project they curated for the week. The children are so loved and nurtured, you can tell teachers are intentional about their care towards each child. Snacks are always healthy and yummy! They've managed to get my kid snacking on veggies. Go figure. Furthermore, as a mother of two children on two campuses- the rooms were always very clean or being cleaned. As many of you know, preschools can be a breeding ground for a plethora of germs and I'm glad Little Ivy does all they can to combat that. So thank you Miss Angie, Miss Verenice, Miss Heidi, Miss Erica, Miss Ana, Miss Monica, Miss Clovelly and Miss Briana. My child has been forever changed by you.

Lali was incredible -- she fully prepared both of them for Kindergarten and gave them such a strong academic foundation before they even started school. I know some people hear "home daycare" and think there's a stigma attached to it, but this was genuinely the best possible place for my children. She provided excellent care, healthy meals, structure, and an education that I honestly don't think they would have received at many other daycares in the area. Because it's smaller, the one-on-one attention she gave each child helped both of mine excel academically before and after entering school. She came highly recommended to me by another mom whose three daughters attended for six years, and now I completely understand why. We are forever grateful for the love, care, and dedication Lali gave our family over the years

We happened to stop into Nimbus Art during the hours they were showing a ceramics and fire demonstration yesterday. The demo was taking place out front, and we went inside for more information about the gallery. We were greeted and offered champagne or wine. Welcome to Napa Valley! Many students had art on display and most of it was for sale. Very unique creations and beautiful displays captured our attention as we walked around. We saw fliers that listed information about classes being offered. There was even a table of nice cheese and other hors d'oeuvres sitting in the back. If youre in this area, this little store within the small strip of businesses here is definitely worth a stop in. Support the students and bring home some art! Next door is a soap-making company and a couple businesses down sits the Napa Valley Visitor Center, so if youre not a local you can find good ideas of what's going on in the Napa Valley during your trip.

As a nonprofit…read morededicated to the arts, offering summer camps for kids and providing opportunities to showcase creativity, it has so much potential to be a positive part of the community. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. While the programs themselves seemed promising, the interactions we had left us feeling uncomfortable. Something about the overall atmosphere and the way some of the people there interacted with us just didn't feel welcoming. More importantly, my children also said they felt uncomfortable, and as a parent, that's something I have to take seriously. Every family's experience may be different, and I'm glad organizations like this exist to support the arts. However, for us, the environment simply wasn't the right fit. I genuinely hope Nimbus Arts continues to grow and reflects on ways to create a warmer, more inclusive, and more comfortable experience for every family who walks through its doors.

In response to comment from Owner:…read more First of all, the little boy did not receive any of the treatments. That is simply untrue, yet we were charged an extra 50$ for him anyway. I booked what the website suggested. "UP TO 4 CHILDREN TWO HOURS ONE THERAPIST $250...1 additional child may be added for $50 to any party" Even that 15 minutes we were behind (sorry, I understand it is not your fault, but it just happens with kids) would not have been enough time for all of the services missed out on. (4 foot and lower leg massages, 4 neck, shoulder & arm mango massages, and 1 chocolate facial, not counting the boy who sat out). These are all things taken directly from your list of services offered on your website. My daughter was happy with the party. Of course she was, she got to see her friends and eat cake. It's hard for a child to miss something they didn't know they were supposed to get. The entire reason I chose this location is because she loves this kind of stuff. However, the location did not even have all of the proper supplies ready to render their services as promised (such as the white chocolate face mask not being white chocolate, which I see has now been changed on the service menu, or hardly spreadable). All of the children who received services were over 5 besides my 4 year old daughter, and she was perfectly patient. We were not offered extra time, we were told that there was another party coming in directly after ours. The party package offered to clients is simply unrealistic in the time given. "LAVENDER AROMA THERAPY CHAMOMILE TEA FOOT SOAK FOOT & LOWER LEG MANGO MASSAGE NECK, SHOULDER & ARM MANGO MASSAGE CHOCOLATE FACIAL SHIRLEY TEMPLE MOCKTAILS FINGER NAIL POLISH WHITE SPA ROBES WHITE SPA SLIPPERS HEADBANDS CUPCAKES CHOICE OF COLORS FOR BALLOONS & DECORATIONS​ Treatment time 90 minutes Last 30 minutes set aside for cupcakes, refreshments and opening presents" I do not blame the therapist for this. She did the best she could in the time she had. This is not her fault. This falls on management.
