“This is a gem of a daycare and preschool. The teachers love your children like their own and treat the parents like family. My daughter started shortly before turning two and left at 5 to start kindergarten. She is excelling at reading, math and socialization and I believe it’s because Penleigh equipped her with those skills. My son started at 4 months and was immediately embraced by the teachers’ love. They have taught him behavioral skills, songs, numbers and colors. He is 2 now and I think he has an excellent vocabulary for his age. Ms. Marivel, the director, is warm, kind and communicative. Some teachers have stayed for 10+ years, indicating it’s a good place for staff as well as children. I can’t say enough good things about this center!”

“My son started at Cadence December 2021 and he had just turned 3 years old. It was a big step for us to put him in daycare/preschool and I was nervous, but I felt comfortable after talking and meeting the staff. Ms. Kelly made the transition much easier. She and my son have a special bond and I know it's because she was the one who would take him inside and to his class. His teachers have been amazing and so loving. My son has learned and grown so much since he started and he has made so many friends. Tomorrow is my son's last day because he will be moving onto Kindergarten and we are very sad to say goodbye. We have had an amazing experience with Cadence Academy and will definitely keep in touch with the staff.”

“I still remember the first day I took my little Miranda to Apple a Day Care because I knew it was time for her to socialize. It was a very emotional day for me; I didn't want to leave her, but instantly I knew she would be in good hands. The energy and love from all the teachers, and the director Michell, gave me absolute confidence. I would even come back mid-morning just to hug my little one, and it felt like home.This year with my little Miranda in the care of the entire Apple a Day Care staff will remain in my heart forever. Thank you so much.”

“This place has been the best experience for my son. More growth in one month than two years with IEP resources at our assigned district school. Whether or not your child has a dyslexia diagnosis, but is below grade level performance standards, send them to Read. Reach out to education advocates and/or lawyers. There are ways to afford the tuition. Make it happen for your kid. Literacy is a right and unfortunately the public school system does not guarantee this. Make it happen for your kid.”

“I am so happy my son was able to spend a year of his life at Acorn to Oak (A2O). We would recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately we are moving out of the city and can no longer have our son attend. Some of the highlights of A2O:Communication: A2O is extremely open in their communication. From school updates, to safety measures to the daily activities. They always keep me up to date. I probably check the app too much but it is always nice to see when he eats, when he naps, how much he ate, and all the fun photos.Learning/Development: At A2O my son went from crawling to walking and even said some of his first words at A2O. They always have fun age appropriate activities, music circles, and outdoor play.Teachers: We love them so much, they are all very friendly and the passion for their work shines through. At the end of each day they go over the highlights of the day or any of the milestones they are working on with our son.”

“We were glad we found Inspire preschool for our elder kid. It was her first day care. We(I and my spouse) were bit anxious while sending our first kid to day care first time. But we were so happy with how she felt comfortable there in her first week itself. Caring staff, excellent program curriculum and extreme safety measures. After an year, My kid had to leave Inspire preschool as We moved to a different city couple of months ago. She miss her teachers and kid friendly environment over there a lot.”

“We have had a great experience with our kids at Merryhill at Karitsa. Teachers are very dedicated to the children's behavioral development and academic growth. Administrative personnel is always very attentive and responsive to requests and always available to answer questions. There is no better review that the fact that my kid is always excited to go to school to participate in the activities and interact with his peers and teachers”

“Press 2 to hear this information ready to return with my child but heartbeat is not open to the public can you update and let me know send me text messages or call so I can no my grandchild is here from Atlanta and I would love to bring her there have her to do some painting what we can't do at home thank you”

“Making the decision to start our little in daycare wasn't easy, but we knew (or at least hoped) it would be beneficial to her development, social skills, and independence. Choosing the right daycare seemed scary, and we definitely toured a couple we were not fond of. After our tour at Cadence we were impressed, and pleased. Fast forward to now, and we are so grateful we made the decision to enroll our daughter here. She started at around 12 months and is now almost 20 months, and in the older toddler room. It was an adjustment for us all, but now she is just flourishing. The staff are on top of it, and easy to talk to and most importantly make our daughter feel comfortable.”

“I have had 3 of my children go to something extra. They are amazing! I can go to work with the peace of mind they are not only safe but are being loved and nurtured. They learn so much and at the end of the year they give you a binder full of pictures and their art they did throughout the year. I like they do parent conferences to let you know about their development. This is amazing school my 3 year old is there now and has been there since he was 12 weeks old his speech, knowledge of is Alphabet, his number skills always impress my friends and family I wish I can take credit but it’s all from the preschool. I love the school and the teachers so much they will always hold a special place in my heart it will be sad the day comes my son will graduate.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Playhouse Preschool! My daughter attended Playhouse for three magical childhood years! Michelle and Jessica have been wonderful and I have referred many friends to enroll their kids here and have been thanked numerous times for referring them! My daughter still reflects on so many happy memories she remembers from her Playhouse days. The teachers are wonderful, the crafts, the playtime, the meals! They learn their numbers, letters, how to write their name, ADORABLE Christmas pageants and graduations! A fun Harvest festival every year! I can’t recommend this place enough or have asked for a better Preschool experience for my little girl!”

“Alyce Norman Educational Center is really good!All stuffs, specially teachers are well trained!Secured, Enviroment, Education Activites, Heath Monitoring are some of great things you can find there!Thanks Alyce Norman Educational Center :)”

“My son has been attending Shalom School since he was two and will be entering 6th grade in the Fall. The staff is extremely tuned in to the character and needs of each and every child. His dyslexia was noticed early and in-school intervention and accommodation commenced immediately. Today he's confident and has developed the skills he'll need to live an unfettered life. Beyond academics, simply put Shalom is Home - a place of Peace, Love, Nourishment, and Enrichment. I can't recommend this school highly enough”

“It's the best cooperative school in town, based on excellent community values, montessori curriculum and culture. The teacher(s) at the school are excellent, thoughtful, informed educators, who care about the well being of your children. The teachers upload pictures and updates about your kid over the school's app. Also, the school gives the caregivers a lot of tools to help you work effectively with your little ones. The location-- inside and outside the classroom are spacious and charmingly cute..”

“Forever Young is a very special place for our family. The staff are some of the warmest, kindest, most caring individuals who go above and beyond to ensure each child is cared for and loved. My son started there when he was 4 months old and continued on into the toddler room. When he aged out, it felt like we were moving away from family. I could not recommend FY enough.”

“I absolutely love the staff here! Everyone is super pleasant, and I feel like my child is safe and in good hands. My daughter has learned so much in these last 4 months. Before she started coming to this preschool, she had an appt scheduled for speech therapy. She wasn't making full sentences and only would just say a few words here and there. After attending 1 month, she became a mocking bird, and now she does not stop talking. All she needed was to make some friends and teachers to help her open up. Mrs Barbie, Mrs. Angelica and Mrs. Rachel are my daughters teachers, and I appreciate them all for always keeping update on the daily on how my daughter day was. I also like the fact that she has homework, I know this is teaching her to start being responsible at such a young age. I totally recommend you bring your child if you're in need of a preschool.”

“Childtime Natomas is nothing short of exceptional! From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with warmth and enthusiasm from Ms. Bev and Ms. Preet. The teachers here are not just caregivers; they're educators and friends to every child under their care.The facilities are awesome, designed with children's safety and comfort in mind. From the colorful, stimulating classrooms to the secure outdoor play area, every space encourages exploration and creativity.What truly sets Childtime apart is their dedication to individualized care. They understand that every child is unique, with their own interests, strengths, and needs. The teachers take the time to get to know each child personally, tailoring activities and interactions to support their development.Communication with parents is outstanding. Daily updates, photos, and even occasional videos provide a window into our child's day, fostering trust and peace of mind.Our child comes home happy, engaged, and eager to return the next day. We have been sending our two kids here since 2019 and we couldn't be happier with our choice and wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking an enriching environment for their child.”

“Best preschool! My oldest daughter has been going here since she was 1.5 and she just turned 5, about to go into kindergarten. Mrs Art and Ms Dianne ACTUALLY care about the kids. That is something so rare within this career now a days. I greatly appreciate all that they do for my child in keeping her safe and educated. I can’t wait for my youngest child to start there but I am sad that my oldest will be moving on. Not only do they have great staff but the staff will update you with an app and you can look into the rooms with cameras. I love that I know what my child is doing and get several pictures. We have definitely created a wonderful relationship.”

“I absolutely adore this preschool. The staff here truly cares about this age group. They are so nurturing, kind, and respectful. My son was so well taken care of during his time at Fremont. He had fun every single day and truly enjoyed coming to school here. I am a Fremont Nursery fan for life.”

“We recently moved to Carmichael and needed to find a preschool for my 3 yr. old. We were specifically looking for a Montessori school and stumbled upon MCS googling schools. After touring, we decided to give it a try, and ever since, we have been extremely happy with the school. My child is self-motivated and loves working with Montessori materialse. Love the place and the people!”

“Every thing was good . My son has learn so much from this school. I am really really thankful to the teacher who helped Yuvaan in his journey of preschool and got him ready for the next chapter of his life . special thanks to miss. Samina . who has worked really hard on Yuvaan in his potty training and also overall .miss. Samina did a great job on him .
The only concern i had was on the day of graduation , there was an unfortunate incidence happen . A man become violent and blown up my son's graduation balloon and it also hit me .I felt there was some kind racist behaviour towards Indians ,which
I personally experienced in Merryhill on few occasions .Other than that , everything was fine .”

“The teachers here are phenomenal, and they provide a very structured and effective plan to take care of my son in the safest and the highest standard of care. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate these teachers.My son was having a hard time finding the right fit for childcare. He was turned away by private live in daycare, which totally devastated my wife and I. We were welcomed into Merryhill with open arms, and the staff has been nothing short of phenomenal. My son loves going here and he loves his teachers. He plays with the other children and looks forward to the teachings that they provide every day. He has excelled by every measure. He is speaking in full sentences he is socializing. And most of all, he is curious. These teachers create a learning environment that supports his style learning. Even in a class of 12+ children (with several overseeing teachers), he is getting the individualized care that one would hope for their child.I would like to thank this facility and every teacher that works here. They do a phenomenal job, and I cannot give them enough praise.”

“I have been an employee at LP for four school years now. I seriously have nothing but positive things to say about this place. The positive, and supportive environment truly reflects on each and every student and staff member. I have worked at other preschools before this one and I never felt as at home and respected as I have here. The Director and Pastor who over look the entire school are so supportive and reassuring to all the staff, there isn't a day that goes by that they aren't reminding us how important and special we are. The classrooms are all ran by amazing and loving teachers who pour there all into their classrooms and the students that are in them. We are a family here at LP and we support, love and respect each other. I truly am not just saying this because I work here, I tell everyone inside and outside of work how proud I am of this place as a school and a work place.”

“Our son attended the infant program at Smallville. We are first time parents, and we felt totally at ease leaving our child there. The Director as well as all of the infant teachers are lovely. You can tell that they care greatly for all of the children and that the kiddos well care for during the day. When we drop him off, he is so excited to go with the teachers and start his day at school. We have loved all the projects that they do with him. He has come home with art work and they have shared photos of him playing in their wonderful play area. He has learned and grown so much and we attribute this to the hard work of Smallville! Overall, we highly recommend this program. It has been a wonderful experience and we could not be more grateful for the staff and all that they have done for our little one!”

“My 2 daughters go to kiddie academy and it is absolutely amazing. My girls have grown so much in the little time here and they love all of there teachers, the director Ms. Blanca is the sweetest and most caring person. All of the staff truly care about the children and show my kids love everyday they are there. I never want to take my kids out of here, they love going to “school” everyday to see there friends and teachers. They have great educational activities and you get a daily report of how there day went, what they have ate during there day and how long they have slept. Plus cute pictures. It’s been such a great experience I would recommend everyone to put there children in kiddie academy!!!”

“RMA has been a great school for my little one! The director, Mrs. Janet and the teachers are amazing with the kids and very caring. The curriculum is age appropriate and my daughter absolutely loves the school and teachers/assistants. 10/10 recommend!”
