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!

We love Merryhill. Our daughter and us never had a bad experience. The staff here are friendly and…read moresupportive. My daughter had Ms. Kat and Ms. Sandy the first year and she loves them both. Currently, she is in Ms. Nimfas and Ms. Kairyns Class and she loves Ms. Nimfa and all of her classmates. The classroom is a positive environment for her to grow and learning is made fun so she likes to go to school. Thank you Merryhill for providing us a safe , and supportive environment to learn.

We're really happy with our time at Moore so far with my 2 year old. At previous schools we'd get…read morenonstop phone calls about him not staying on his mat during nap, not handling transitions well, not interacting with kids the same way other kids do, playing with the dirt or bark too much while outside, etc. The teachers at Moore have done a beautiful job meeting him where he's at and providing an environment that lets him be himself while still learning how to be in a class environment. From day 1 with Moore we noticed a big difference. He's much more regulated, he actually naps (!!!), he's made friends and he genuinely enjoys going to school each day. The app allows for direct communication with his teacher if needed and we get updates all day on what he's up to. The teachers are friendly but still firm with the kids when needed which is great. They do a ton of activities including learning numbers, letters, their names, doing sensory activities, practicing fine and gross motor skills, etc. Moore isn't going to be your standard daycare center with pristine rooms and strict schedules. They're a daycare center with a home daycare feel. My son often comes home covered in dirt with shoes full of sand and we LOVE it. We like that you can tell the kids have played all day because it means they got to be kids.

Moore Learning was a beautiful experience for our daughter. As an educator myself, I was very keen…read moreon touring various preschools and looking for qualities that make me feel like my child is going to grow and is safe. Their philosophy is much more creative and evidence-based, promoting more independence and exploration which was refreshing compared to the other preschools I toured. The interior is very homey, clean, and creative. They are always making upgrades and changing it up, keeping it refreshed. The cost is comparable to other preschools I toured. The teachers are phenomenal. My girl had Ms. Emma, Ms. Tasha, and Ms. Esther. I love the clear communication, and they were all so patient and sweet but still had high expectations for the kiddos. Moore's uses an app to check in and out. I got so many adorable pictures of my girl throughout the day with updates on what she was doing and what she ate that made me feel at ease. Ms. Yasmeen is the assistant director, always at the site. She is so sweet and helpful. She loves the kids, always getting them little trinkets for special occasions and helping out in all areas. Moore's curriculum is very organized with themes changing each month like space, sea animals, cooking, and so on. The art is actually made by the students themselves to encourage creativity. By the end, my girl was drawing her whole family on many of the art projects she brought back. Quite a bit of focus on handwriting as well, which I appreciated. The kiddos get an abundance of playtime outside with all the cool obstacles and activities they have out there. Moore has many guest presenters like Dan the pirate who come and talk about their professions. My girl learned so much and would always tell me little facts that she learned at school. Moore's has a plethora of events throughout the year. My girl attended the Thanksgiving, Easter Egg Hunt, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day Tea Party and so on. There are many others such as the Trunk-or-Treat and pretty much something for every holiday. They also do free photoshoots with Santa and the Easter Bunny! Overall, I am overly pleased with the experience here. My girl made so many friends and even got invited to her first birthday party here from a classmate. I feel very blessed and thankful for Moore Learning and I highly recommend!!

I'd like to share my experience with Elk Grove Montessori School as the mother of a 5 year old who…read morewas born during the pandemic. As a pandemic baby, my child was initially shy and hesitant to talk or interact with others. However, after attending Elk Grove Montessori for over two years, she has become enthusiastic about sharing stories from school every day. You can see in her eyes how much care and attention she has received from her teachers. She often tells me how much she likes all her teachers. On several occasions, we've run into her teachers outside of school, and each time, she rushes over for a hug, which her teachers always return warmly. Afterward, she proudly tells us, "That's my teacher!" Academically, she can now recognize all the letters along with their phonics, spell simple three-letter words at times, count from 1 to 100, perform addition within 10, and talk about different stories. She did mention that some children occasionally behaved inappropriately, but I believe that can happen anywhere--I heard similar stories from my two older children when they were in a different preschool. We shared our concerns with the school, and since then, she hasn't mentioned it again. The school and the teachers are attentive, caring, and truly listen to the children's needs. Overall, I'm very grateful for the positive impact Elk Grove Montessori School has had on my daughter's growth and confidence.

I signed up 9 months ago and was beyond excited. I was…read morecalled in about a start date 8/1. I asked if I could bring my daughter in two days prior to tour and get comfy. We did and the tour went great. After I emailed a couple follow up questions (how do I pay, where were the bathrooms ect, and the days/times) i was ignored . I emailed again a week later (also after my start date ) that email also ignored . I do understand life can get busy but this very much felt intentional and unprofessional. I emailed a 3rd time weeks later and finally heard back with a short answer and offering my deposit back . Not quite sure how we go from a start date to not following up with me at all. 9 months I waited just to have to start over to find a school. It's disappointing and the administrator clearly did not want us there . Sad because my daughter is quite amazing. Brianna

We enrolled our son at Peek A Boo Daycare (an in-home daycare) in September 2022 when he was just…read moreover 1.5 years old, based on a trusted recommendation from a colleague. Now, almost three years later, he's transitioning to TK, and while we're excited for this next chapter, leaving Peek A Boo feels incredibly bittersweet. From the very first visit, my husband and I felt confident in our decision. Joy took the time to give us a tour of her home and walked us through everything she provides--structured routines, meals and snacks, learning activities, and most importantly, a safe and nurturing environment. Signing the contract shortly after felt like a no-brainer. The setup was exactly what we were looking for. Peek A Boo offers so much more than just care. Each day includes circle time (songs, counting, shapes, projects to bring home), marker time (drawing, coloring, learning to write names), outdoor play, naps, and consistent routines that help young children thrive. Our son's speech and confidence noticeably improved within the first few months--something we attribute largely to the positive environment and social interaction at daycare. Joy and her two amazing caregivers truly became like family to us. They celebrate birthdays and holidays, and there's a real sense of community. Trusting someone with your child, especially at such a young age, isn't easy--but not once did we ever feel our son was unsafe or uncared for. Joy is incredibly transparent, professional, and communicative--whether it was a quick text, a newsletter, or an email about upcoming vacations or events, we were always in the loop. We are so grateful for the love and care our son received at Peek A Boo. He adores Joy and his friends, and we know he's going to miss seeing them every day. We absolutely loved our time here and already plan to enroll our next child when the time comes. Thank you, Joy, for giving our son such a beautiful and loving early childhood experience--we will always hold Peek A Boo close to our hearts. We highly recommend Peek A Boo Daycare to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their little one.

My daughter started coming here right before she turned 2. From the very first day, we felt…read morecomfortable leaving her here and she enjoyed it and never cried or whined about going to daycare. Joy has a great structured program with circle time, outside play time, arts and crafts, and much more. The kids learn a lot...She is only almost 4 and already knows how to write her name! I also love the flexibility of drop off and pick up times. A bonus is that breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided too! They celebrate birthdays and have events for the kids for Halloween, Easter, and other holidays. Her 2 assistants are wonderful and great with the kids as well. Peekaboo daycare has truly become like family to us. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, reliable, trustworthy, and affordable daycare for their little one!

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.

I am so glad that we found Little Flowers daycare for my son, Brandon! He was enrolled at a…read moredifferent daycare before coming here but it was not as clean and organized as Little Flowers. The hallways, classrooms, and outdoor playground was always so clean and well kept. The teachers and administrators were also very great with my son. He showed great improvement with his speech and was always happy to go to daycare. They also helped us with getting him potty trained. We were sad to leave since my son was able to enroll in a preschool closer to home but I'm hoping to enroll my baby daughter in the future when she's old enough. Thank you to all the staff at Little Flowers for helping Brandon grow .

This Montessori is a diamond in the rough! We've been through 4 other daycares and I am so glad we…read morefinally found the BEST one. Our toddler has never been this HAPPY in last 3 years. Directors and every single teachers are always welcoming, nice and so friendly which makes it so much easier to leave toddlers on rough mornings. The ratio of teacher to kids is the best part, all kids get personalized attention and care. I am not even exaggerating, they all get their own set of stationary with names labeled, every day my toddler mentions about something new she's learned and shows work at the end of the week (pretty amazing!) especially for parents who really want balance between play and learning in pre-school. Having been through Goddard and KinderCare I thought we just had to compromise on overall cleanliness/hygiene of the center and kids being covered in food, snot, colors, dirt and marks. Nope! this preschool is so clean and well maintained every single day! they all look so clean at the end of the day because they really make an effort to keep up with the hygiene. They don't have any apps or digital portal for update and it took us some time to adjust but to be honest in pre-school it's not really a big deal. We've never had any situation where we've felt the need to know every single update of the day. They pay such good attention to each child that if we really wanted to know about how much they ate, frequency of potty time etc. they easily update us verbally at end of the day. Overall we are extremely satisfied with our decision. Just seeing all kids being loved and cared by every single teacher is so heart warming. Really appreciate LFM family for proving such a safe and happy environment for our kids in Elk Grove location.

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.
