Since Mrs. Robin took over last summer, Merryhill has undergone an incredible transformation. Under…read moreprevious leadership, the school faced numerous violations--so severe that the state took them to court in an effort to revoke their license. It was a deeply concerning time for families, but Mrs. Robin stepped in and turned everything around with remarkable speed and dedication. Her proactive approach, attention to detail, and genuine care for the children, staff, and families have completely reshaped the school into a safe, nurturing, and well-run environment. The difference is undeniable--our most recent inspection under her leadership was completely clean, with zero violations. It's incredible to see how quickly she addressed past concerns and built a community that prioritizes both education and well-being. She is hands-on, communicative, and always looking for ways to improve. Any learning environment she is a part of is truly fortunate to have her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! A special mention also goes to Mrs. Amy, who stepped in as temporary admin when the transition began--her hard work in getting the school back on track was invaluable. And my daughter absolutely loves spending time in Mrs. Mayra's classroom--she always comes home so happy on the days she's with her!

Are you looking for childcare with a truly caring staff and nurturing environment? Look no further…read morebecause L'Academy is the place! I haven't stopped raving about it since my daughter started a few months ago. Ms. Quynh was incredibly professional and guided me every step of the way through the enrollment process. She was always quick to respond and thorough in her communication, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The environment felt safe, clean, and welcoming from the very beginning. The cost also felt very reasonable and huge bonus is you work for the state or healthcare as there is a discount (not sure if they are still doing this but I was able to get the discount when my daughter started). One of my favorite features is the app they use to track the children's daily activities. I love being able to see photos and videos of what my daughter is doing throughout the day--it gives me peace of mind and helps me feel connected even when I'm away. The teachers are so warm and attentive. On the rare occasions when my little one is having a tough morning, they were patient, creative, and compassionate in helping her adjust. Knowing she's in such good hands has been a huge relief for me as a parent. Earliest drop off was 7:30am and latest pick-up was 5:30pm. What really sets L'Academy apart--beyond the amazing staff--is their language program. They teach Spanish and Mandarin, which has been a wonderful way for my daughter to learn about different cultures while also stimulating her intellectual growth. In the short time that she was there, 4 months, she learned how to count and say certain animals or objects in Spanish and Mandarin. I can't recommend L'Academy enough to my friends and family. It's truly a gem!

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!

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.

Now that he has left for Kindergarten, I wanted to write a review because the foundation that Tots of Love helped build has brought him great success at his new school. From my experiences, the staff truly enjoyed their jobs and they made every effort to help him grow confident and become a better person. I am really proud of that kid and his core is solid. He didn't always love school and we did have to try a couple other preschools before we settled at Tots but Tots was the only one he didn't want to leave at the end of the day. In the beginning, he had difficulties sharing with others and I noticed a lot of patients & tenderness towards our little guy by the staff. I was most impressed with how much time was devoted to understanding each child. Towards the end, I even felt like he had become family to most of them and I guess (as a parent), isn't that what we all want to feel to know we made the right choice? When he was younger, they focused on the social aspects of his personality with potty training, which helped so much. They gradually went into basic problem solving and a great deal of attention was spent on his self esteem. Then general reading and writing, along with focused communication. This sort of stuff came in most handy when we would go to birthday parties and he was one of the only children not throwing a fit if he didn't get to use my iPhone. I would whole-heartedly recommend Tots of Love if you are looking for a preschool.
