We couldn't be happier with the well rounded education our children are receiving. The school holds a special place in our hearts because my husband attended as a child, and he has very fond memories of this school. The staff are really fantastic and caring! We appreciate the small class sizes so our children get plenty of attention. Echo Ridge is an excellent school, and we are so thankful to have this little gem in our community!

This place is just awful. I brought my friends daughter to her preschool for him, because he had to…read morework early one day. I have a 5 month old as well and I would never ever send my daughter to a daycare/preschool like this ever! I walk in and there are 3 ladies in this room and they all just look at me and look away. I have my daughter in my arms, holding my friends daughters hand, have her snack pack and booster seat in my arms and not one person greeted me, asked who I was, not one word. So I stand there for a few moments and look around. One lady finally comes over and says to my friends daughter "come on I'll take you back" I look at her and say I also have her booster seat for when she gets picked up later. The woman takes it and walks away. I'm just left standing there with my friends daughter still. The woman comes back inside and I'm almost yelling because she's across the room, and I ask if there was anything I needed to do, and she says " no, I'll sign her in" just like that. So I said goodbye to my friends daughter and told her to have a good day and walked out. When you work at a daycare/preschool and you see someone new bringing in a child your supposed to greet them and talk to them, not be rude and say nothing. It was so unprofessional and something that you don't do when you have children involved. I looked around the whole room when I walked in, made eye contact with all 3 woman and not one of them greeted me, or said anything when I left. I can only imagine if they do that when you bring the children in what they would do when the children are picked up. My daughters only 5 months old but when that time comes for her to go to preschool kinderland will not be and option for my family. I would have given no stars, but yelp makes you add a star before you can post. So this actually is a no star

We live on Banner Lava Cap and I drove by a beautiful Poppy Preschool sign every day while…read moresearching all over the area for a preschool for my 2 year old. Because they're relatively new, I wasn't finding a lot of information online about it. I called the phone number on the sign and got in touch with Teacher Deva who was delightful to talk to and let me come and tour the school on a Friday morning (a day they have off) with my little one. My daughter immediately clicked with the space. There's tons of forest, a garden, ducks, and even a cat that roams the property. We had seen a lot of really great schools in the area, but this one just felt special. After seeing the space, my daughter didn't want to leave. We knew we had found the one. Poppy Preschool is a Waldorf-inspired preschool where the kids enjoy singing, arts and crafts, gardening, cooking, and lots of play. They also learn a lot of collaborative skills like cleaning up. The teachers Deva and Sarah are calm, gentle, and patient. I've watched them first-hand moderate conflicts between kids where they help the kids verbalize their feelings and gently deflect any physical altercations. It's lovely to see. On the first day of school, I was worried my daughter would cling to me and not want to go, but she took one look at the ducks and the garden and immediately felt comfortable jumping in. Every day since her first day she's excited to go to school and she doesn't want to come home. She's also *delightfully* dirty at the end of the day, which I love. She's engaged and learning so much, she even teaches us all the songs they learn at school. I also love that they garden and cook their own food. Every day of the week has a different focus, so the kids feel grounded in a bit of routine, but there's still plenty of room for exploration and play. It's been a real joy having my daughter in Poppy Preschool. I highly recommend this incredible forest preschool to anyone in the area!

This one suits our needs best, and we have looked around Nevada County at great length. They are flexible in allowing you to take classes elsewhere. They have a good selection of books, which you go and choose off the shelf at the start of the semester. They are moving their headquarters this summer to Nevada City, which is more convenient. Some of the families are aging hippies, but if you don't like that, so what? It comes back to how much effort you, as a parent, want to put into the task of home schooling.
