We couldn't be happier with our experience at Smart Start! From the moment I called to schedule a…read moretour as a panicked first time mom leaving her child somewhere for the first time, it was clear that this place is special. The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and truly passionate about the children and the parents honestly. My daughter flourished here as the learning is fun and educational, with plenty of hands-on activities and lots of things to take home as memories. By the age of 3, she knew all of her ABCs, could point out any letter, numbers and started learning how to write her name. I loved the daily updates and photos I got. The teachers also took the time to understand my childs needs and interests, and if any changes happened at home, they ensured to help with them at school the best they could. I couldn't have asked for a safer, better school to help keep my baby safe and get her a jump start on school.

If you were looking for the best preschool in Chico, CA, look no further!! We've had our daughter…read moregoing there since she was an infant and can't say enough good things about Smart Start!! They're about "the whole child" and not of the philosophy of simply a "day-care"; but truly invest in the learning, social skills and overall best well being of all of their children. Their staff is amazing and give each and every child the individual attention that we, as parents, hope that our children get. Their facility is consistently clean, and their classrooms are large and spacious. If you've done your research and looked into other pre-schools (as we did...and quite extensively), you'll know exactly what I'm referring to. Bravo Teacher Ann, and her loving staff for investing in OUR next generation and future!!

Chico Christian excels on many levels, but one of the most important to us was their communication across the board. Every employee there is truly special and if we had a third child they would be attending Chico Christian as well. Thank you to all of their staff. My wife and I both highly recommend sending your child to Chico Christian if you're looking for a great and safe daycare.

As a first-time mom, I was nervous about leaving my baby in someone else's care, but they went above and beyond to ease my worries. Everyone here genuinely loves what they do -- they care for the kids as if they were their own, showing real warmth, attentiveness, and dedication to their safety. Updates through the app are so great! They often send pictures and even videos, too. We definitely recommend Chico Christian.

I have a student at Ipakanni who has gone full force ahead on her schoolwork, thanks to one of her…read moreteachers, Mr.Free. My daughter had previously struggled academically at another local public school. We had the opportunity to speak with Mr.Free about her difficulties, in which he in turn explained the possibilities for her at Ipakanni. She started school at Ipakanni the very next week. Because of the school's model, my daughter has had the opportunity to complete two history books in just two months. She is on target to graduate next year, which is a year earlier than if she were in a typical public school. Now, I obviously owe a huge (loving) thumbs up! to my daughter who has taken responsibility for her education, but I'd also like to thank Ipakanni for being there and giving students an opportunity to excel and succeed. Ipakanni is positively changing the lives of many students, who elsewhere may not have the same encouragement and unique opportunities that only Ipakanni offers. Thank you, Ipakanni!

The teachers loop with their students 1st through 8th grade which creates deep bonded relationships between teachers, students and parents. Rich specialty classes are woven into the students daily experience to support variety for the students. Each student is met at their educational level, and social emotional needs. It is a beautiful thing to see children that enroll with struggles at other schools blossom at Blue Oak. Of course this program is not for everyone, but if you are interested in helping your child learn how to be compassionate, accountable, critical thinking, culturally competent individuals then this is your school!

The environment could be better regarding the protests that happened and the staff did not do anything about it. An example of this is the anti transgender protest that students held at PV.

So overall, the learning experience is great, but the environment can be changed so every single student will feel included at school.
