Orchard Montessori offers a combination of experience, professionalism, and a structured curriculum that is nearly impossible to find, especially in a place like Fairfield! Our daughter now has the head start she needs to flourish in a classroom setting, from social behavior and manners to geography and history. We strongly recommend that anyone in the area in need of childcare reach out to Orchard and see for yourself. Ask for my contact info and I'd be happy to share more about our experience. Thank you again, Miss Virginia!

I believe that these early years of learning are so important for a child, possibly the most…read moreimportant. Ms Virginia does an exceptional job at cultivating a well rounded learning experience. The children learn effortlessly as the learning is done organically through changing monthly themes, pracical life activities, class pets, gardening, crafts, parties, play, music, cooking and so much more. The children are always treated with such great respect, respect for their needs, their differing personalities, their learning styles, and their health. Ms Virginia is a true leader and the children all reciprocate respect back to her. I wholeheartedly believe this was the best possible place for my son, and I only wish I found it sooner so I could have started him there earlier. He was already an amazing person but this school really fed his desire to learn; he is more creative, even more curious, and he has an incredible foundation to be a lifelong learner.

She learned how to write her name and beginning phonics. As a three year old I am so impressed by her advancement in a years time.

Thank you to all the wonderful teachers/staff we will never forget you.

Here's what I love about it. #1: Everything is very clean. #2: Check in and out is a very secure process. #3: Staff is always warm and kind, my son feels loved and cared for. They really know him, his personality, his emotional needs & they would let me know if he had even a slightly off day. They never made him feel unwanted and I never worried about him not being looked out for. #4: So many fun dress up days, water days during the summer, the cutest winter recitals and a great park! #5: Just the right amount of programming placed on math, reading writing, and we would get assessments on our sons progress and where his strengths were/where he needed work. As a busy family with full time jobs we don't have a ton of time to get a head start on education so he can start Kindergarten with confidence. Little Flowers is doing that for us. #6: The price is fair, it's right around where everyone else is priced, in fact, when I was shopping for child care, this place was the most affordable in Vacaville, other than in home daycares. If you're on the fence, let this be your sign to get signed up. We did have to get on a waitlist as they do take staff to student ratios very seriously and they were full, so don't wait! Thanks again Little Flowers!

Ms. Christine and Ms. Annie ( preK teachers) were wonderful- warm, genuine and provided a fun learning environment for the kids. I love the Montessori method of teaching. I believe my son's experience at Little Flowers prepared him for kinder. During covid times staff was diligent about temperature checking, wearing masks and notifying parents if any staff or students tested positive for Covid19. Prices were $550 per month to attend Mon, Wed and Fri from 8am to 5pm, towards the end of the school year prices went up to $625 for the same hours. They also had a 5 day a week option or tues/thurs only option. Money well spent.

When he started, he wouldn't let go of my hand at drop-off. By the end, he was running through the door before I could finish saying goodbye. That change didn't happen by accident.

My first encounter was with Lizette. Lizette, was the one to give us our very first tour. She was…read moreso friendly and made the whole process feel easy. That first meeting really stuck with me, and it made me feel good about choosing L&P Montessori for my son. Ms. Norma, Ms. Karima, and Ms. Ava have been amazing. They go out of their way to make every child feel comfortable and cared for. My son can be a handful; he's energetic, can be wild at times, and is very selective about the people. They have been nothing but patient and kind with him. I want to comment about Ms. Jackie because I recently saw a negative review about her, and it made me really sad to see what was written about her. It's tough to see something like that written about someone, knowing that words like those can really hurt a person's character and reputation. I've never seen any of the behaviors mentioned in the negative review but only kindness from Ms. Jackie, even the times I would drop off my son and didn't know I was there. She's always sweet and patient, especially with kids who are having a rough morning. My son is talkative and not afraid to speak his mind if something's wrong. If there was ever anything off, my son would be the first to tell me if Ms. Jackie was not nice. Even in the older kids' classrooms, the staff and teachers are friendly, nice, and acknowledges you during drop off/pick-ups. It's a place where I know my son is safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. I'm so glad we found Learn and Play Montessori.

This review is so long overdue and should have been written months ago! I had both my daughters…read moreenrolled at Zerghon's Daycare, and both of them started at about 6 months of age. Before touring any daycare systems, I was very hesitant to take such a young infant to a school/daycare. I had toured other schools in the area and met with in-home nannies. It wasn't until I met with Ms. Zerghon for a tour that I finally found a place where I knew my baby would be safe. Zerghon met me with warm and open arms, explained the Montessori theory, and even allowed my daughter and me to stay for an hour after we toured as we can familiarize ourselves for a bit. Both of my children stayed with Zerhgon's daycare throughout the pandemic until they could enroll in a formal TK system, for a total of est 3 1/2 years. Ms. Zerghon is kind, warm, and nurturing, and has treated both of my daughters and the other children like family! Not only do I know that my children are treated like family and well fed with warm homemade meals, but they have also learned so much! Both of them, by age 3, could write their names, write their alphabet, and do basic arithmetic! They were over-qualified for TK, in my humble opinion. I cannot express the gratitude I have for the loving care and teachings Ms. Zerghon has bestowed on my children. She is one of the sweetest, brightest, most caring teachers out there and we need more of her in the world. My children are 5 and 6 now and still talk about their fond memories at Zerghon's Daycare. Please. If you are seeking daycare look no further than this gem. Highlights: * No shoes in infant rooms * Small furniture to help infants learn to sit at tables, walk ramps, climb stairs, * Infants nap * Infants learn to eat with spoons, forks and drink from cups * Infants learn to hold writing utensils * Infants learn to write, basic arithmetic, and craft * Buggy for outdoor walks * Holiday family days * Crafts - painting, coloring, footprint projects * Socialization, independence, communication skills * Storytime * Photo updates * Clean and comforting atmosphere * Warm homemade lunches provided to children

I found Zerghon's daycare after interviewing several other providers. I was impressed with the Yelp…read morereviews and the overall structure of the program she offers. We agreed that my son would start right after his first birthday and I was very excited and hopeful that we would be a good fit. My son was born during a pandemic and has some anxiety being away from mom for too long because he's so used to being at home...but he generally does well. On his first day, he did relatively well and I got photos of him engaging with the other kids and napping. On his second day, after being there for an hour, I got a call to pick my son up because he was crying. The assistant said they checked him for fever and that he was fine but then went on to say that they just didn't think he was a good fit for the program. She then proceeded to say that my application was cancelled and wanted to know if I wanted my payment back in cash or money order. No plan to work with him to help him transition, no concern for if there was an underlying issue, no nothing. Just come get your baby and don't bring him back because he is crying. I'm just so disappointed, hurt and offended at the idea that a 12 month old baby gets kicked out of daycare on his second day for crying for an hr. Especially when Zerghon herself told me how other kids in the program had hard transitions and ended up working out over time! I mean, isn't that a typical process for babies? What makes my baby different? I can't help but think there is other motivating factors at play here. My baby fell asleep in the car while we were driving home by the way. He was crying because he was tired.
