Both my sons attend Sierra Preschool.My oldest gets dropped off and picked up from school and that…read moreis such big help since my work hours do not allow me to do the drop off/pick up on time. My little one has been there for over a year, when he started he was not potty trained and his first teacher was Ms. Patty. She was great, she was always so patient, kind and loving with him. She was a huge part of his potty training. Ms. Melissa was the first to receive him every morning, when it was difficult for him to stay since he was getting to know them. She has always been so patient and kind with him and all the kiddos. Once he moved to the preschool group with Ms. Claudia, he was a little hesitant like any kid would be when there is change in their routine. But he adjusted quickly, she made him feel comfortable with her kindness, silliness and the way she is playful with him. And now comes home and tells me what he has learned from Ms. Claudia. I can definitely see his growth and how much he has learned. I especially love to receive photos of the activities my son is doing during the day. And what can I say about Ms. Marlene the director she always has a smile on her face and has always shown how much she cares for the kiddos. Always willing to help with any questions or concerns. All the staff at Sierra Preschool are truly wonderful! My family is truly lucky to have found Sierra Preschool!

My kids have been coming here for years, and we're so grateful for the care, consistency, and love they receive every time.

One of the best preschools in the inland empire! It used to be called Big Sky preschool (a nature…read morebased school that prioritized outdoor learning/exploration and sunshine). Parents considered it a diamond in the rough, a hidden gem, and therefore it attracted students from up to 30 minutes away! It was recently sold and renamed to Sunny Hills Montessori Academy, but heart of the school has remained the same. There is a chicken coop and a garden on campus (where children are encouraged to explore caring for animal life and growing their own food), weekly Spanish learning, dress up days, summer camp, and more! The children enjoy vegetarian meals with an emphasis on healthy, whole fruits and vegetables. They are still outdoors most of the day, but the indoor classrooms are just as robust with a wide array of hands on activities. The teachers are not just standing around babysitting, but actively engaging each student in opportunities to learn and grow and sharpen their developing minds. From potty training, to handwashing, and encouraging self-reliance, this school is 100% dedicated to the whole human. With a diverse staff & student base, supportive parents, and a loving director keeping it all running smoothly, truly, it is worth checking out.

just now New It's…read moretaken me some time to get around to this but wanted to make sure I did this before the new year begins. When I came to Big Sky Preschool it was owned and operated by different people and in the time I was there is was sold to the now owners. Prior to the sale Big Sky was a dream, as soon as the transition to new owners began things immediately started to change despite being promised they wouldn't. To start this school has slapped the name Montessori on their name but are not actually accredited. Second they lied to parents and withheld to let parents know about construction that was occurring on property while class was in session. Be sure to research the school as they have a a type B citation because of the way they chose to handle the upgrades to the space. Furthermore this school chose to terminate the care of my child because I was vocalizing my concerns and questions and the owners refused to ever meet with parents. Lastly, they terminated her care on a Monday upon arrival, I had no back up for work it was very traumatizing for us all. The owners sent an email at 1am to the "Director" Lucita, whom also is known to yell at students and be the least gentle if you ask me, whine then just printed the email out to me and handed it to me with my stuff. The email claim I made baseless claims about the school. Obviously not so baseless since they were cited for putting the kids at risk with the construction that took place there. If you are looking for a play based school that actually cares and isn't cold and clinical like this school Che k out You're Invited. They are amazing and took me in during this traumatic experience.

He enjoys biking, bubbles, swimming, arts and crafts, and writing. It's been amazing to see how much he has grown. His teacher, Mia, is awesome--sweet, kind, and always looking out for the kids. She even makes sure to put sunscreen on my son before he plays outside, just as I requested. Tanya, the manager, is wonderful too, and all the staff are attentive. I feel safe leaving my son there. There is someone at the front, and the entrance is secure. I know he is supervised and well cared for. Thank you, Mia, Tanya, and the whole team!

Our son wakes up excited every morning to go to school and affectionately calls it "Mrs. Mayte's House," which says everything about the warm, nurturing environment she has created. Since attending The Learning Experience, we have watched him grow so much academically, socially, and emotionally. He comes home talking about what he learned, singing new songs, and sharing stories about his day. It's clear that learning is woven into fun, engaging activities that keep the children excited and involved. Mrs. Mayte and the entire staff are incredibly kind, caring, and approachable. They truly get to know each child and make families feel welcome. We also love the family events and activities they put together throughout the year they go above and beyond to create a sense of community. We feel very fortunate to have found such a special place for our son. If you're looking for a preschool that feels like a second home and is filled with people who genuinely care, we highly recommend The Learning Experience. Chavez Family

Hope Kids Academy has been such a blessing for our family. From the very beginning, it has created…read morea warm, nurturing environment where my daughter truly feels excited to learn each day. It's amazing to see her wake up in the morning eager to go, talking about the fun activities, the things she's learning, and the friends she's made. What makes Hope Kids Academy so special is that it feels like more than just a preschool--it feels like a caring community. The home-based setting creates a safe, comfortable atmosphere where the children are genuinely seen and supported. The program balances meaningful learning with creativity and play, helping kids build confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning that I know will stay with them. One thing that truly sets Hope Kids Academy apart is Mrs. Alvarado. She is not only incredibly loving and nurturing with the children, but she is also deeply supportive of the parents. Shortly after enrolling my daughter, I found out I was pregnant with twins, and Mrs. Alvarado was so understanding and encouraging during that time. She always made space to listen whenever I needed to talk and consistently showed genuine care for our family. She doesn't just build relationships with the kids--she creates real connections with the parents too, forming a sense of community that makes families feel welcomed, supported, and valued. Mrs. Alvarado supports the children's social development fantastically! My daughter has formed wonderful friendships there, and she's also learning important life skills such as respecting others, understanding boundaries, and communicating kindly. Those lessons are just as meaningful as the academic ones. That was my biggest priority when I was first looking for a program. Watching my daughter grow through her preschool experience has been truly amazing. She has learned so much in such a natural and joyful way that she often surprises me with the things she knows. Sometimes she'll start singing little songs and rhymes she learned at school, and hearing them unlocks a sense of nostalgia for me--reminding me of the same kinds of school songs I had long forgotten. Recently at church, they asked her to sign her name on her drawing, and to our surprise she confidently wrote the first two letters of her name. Moments like that show me that the learning happening in her classroom is deep and genuine. It's not just memorization--it's understanding, confidence, and curiosity beginning to grow in such a beautiful way. I'm incredibly grateful to have found a place that not only teaches but truly cares. Hope Kids Academy , Mrs. Alvarado, has had such a positive impact on my daughter, and I couldn't recommend it more highly to any parent looking for a loving, supportive, and enriching faith based preschool experience. **Mrs. Alvarado does use an app program to directly send you pictures and updates of your child throughout the school session. It's huge relief for the anxious parent, like myself, and a splendid inside look of the day's activities**

Talking with the other Moms, She truly pays attention to each student's needs and helps them grow both behaviorally and developmentally. Our son is still very young, but he was very socially ready to interact and learn with other kids. We weren't looking for a full-time daycare, so the part-time option was absolutely perfect for our family. And let me just say he loves going to "school" here! He looks forward to seeing Mrs. A and his friends all the time. Mrs. A's background, experience, and heart for children shines through in everything she does. She is passionate, nurturing, and treats every student like family. We couldn't be happier, and we highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and faith-filled environment for their little one.

There…read morearen't too many schools or daycares that advertise themselves as you drive around, so Yelp was a huge help in my search. I'm so glad I put in a request because that's how I discovered this school. From the start, the owner was very kind and helpful, directing me to this location--and it has truly been a godsend. The staff is amazing at meeting my child where he's at and working with his abilities. At his previous school, I used to get calls almost every day about his "bad behavior." Here, it's completely different. Now I get messages highlighting how smart he is, how well he's doing, and all of his positive qualities as both a student and a person. The change has been such a blessing, and I can finally see him thriving in an environment that uplifts him. The only downside is that the school only goes up to age 5, so unfortunately he won't be able to stay next year. But aside from that, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a daycare or preschool.

From my very first conversation with the director about their teaching philosophy to meeting the warm and caring teachers, I knew this was the right place for my kids. My daughter attended Kids Time for a little over a year during 2022-2023, and my son attended for about a year and a half during 2025-2026. What meant the most to me was being able to completely trust the people caring for my children. I could see the positive impact Kids Time had on both of them, and they always spoke so happily about their time there. They both absolutely love Ms. Leo and Ms. Tanya. My daughter still remembers them and misses them, and I know my son will miss them very much as well. I am incredibly grateful to all of the teachers and staff at Kids Time for the care, patience, and love they gave my children. They truly made such a positive impression on our family. I constantly recommend Kids Time to friends and coworkers who are looking for a preschool or daycare, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, nurturing, and wonderful place for their children.
