It's not just a day care where the kids just spend all day playing. Mrs. Robyn and her staff plan educational games/activities with the kids. Her house and yard are very well maintained and exceptionally clean. You can tell she truly loves what she does and the children she cares for. If I could give her more than 5 stars I certainly would!!

This place came highly recommended to me when I was looking to go back to work full time but hesitant of taking my kid to a daycare. I toured the facility and it was perfect for our needs. Robyn and her team are amazing. This daycare and preschool provides the kids a blend of home and school environment. I enrolled my oldest when he was 9 months old, and my youngest when he was 3 months old. They both love it! They learn so much through group activities and games. I enjoy hearing from my oldest about what he learned with teacher Robyn as he brings home a craft he did during the day. And Alyssa has a way with kids as well. She is so kind and sweet and my kids love her! My children are my greatest treasure. I wouldn't recommend Hugs and Kisses for your little treasures if I didn't trust Robyn and her wonderful team with my own.

Sierra Preschool is a top notch preschool. In fact, it's the best in Auburn by far…read more I toured about 10 preschools in Auburn and Grass Valley, and there were only two preschools out of the ten-ish that we loved. Sierra Preschool was one of them. The other was in Grass Valley and had a waiting list, so it wasn't an option because we wanted our son enrolled in classes sooner than later. That was a blessing in disguise. GENERAL INFO: Sierra Preschool is a cooperative school, which means that parent participation is required and thus the monthly tuition is reduced substantially. I initially was looking for a preschool where I could drop off my son and go about my business of shopping, working out, cleaning the house, etc., but as it turns out, I LOVE that I am so involved in his daily activities and learning. I love the other parents at the preschool, and I love that I know the kids there as well. It is such a family environment! The teachers are top notch and really care about every student. LAYOUT: The school itself is in an old house, fenced yard, in a convenient location. They have a lot of toys for the kids to play with, indoor and outdoor. There's a separate room for circle time, and a general area for crafts and snacks. There is a kitchen for food storage/prep and a large counter and sink. The office is located upstairs. CLASSES: The toddler class is fantastic and fun. Right now it's Tuesdays from noon to 1:30p. There is an hour of playtime, then 15 minutes of circle time (reading books, games) and then 15 minutes of snack time. The parents rotate bringing healthy snacks each week. The 3-, 4-, and 5- year olds can take a Tu-Th class from 9am to 11:30a. It also has a specific schedule of playtime, circle time and snack time. The class is limited to 18 students. And there's a 4- and 5- yr old class on Mon-Wed-Fri which is geared towards getting the kids ready for kindergarten. That class is from 9am to 1pm. The class is limited to 18 students. They also have summer school classes. In 2011, it's a 6-week program from 9am to 1pm. PHILOSOPHY: The philosophy of Sierra Preschool is "When I play I learn." And all the crafts and stories and outside play are great for these developing minds. My son can't wait to go to class each time. He's socializing and making friends, and I feel it's readying him for elementary school. It is such a relief to have found Sierra Preschool! LOCATION: Sierra Preschool is conveniently located off of I-80. Sierra Preschool is on the corner of Channel Hill Lane and Luther Rd. You can also get there easily by CA-49 to Luther Rd as well. PARKING: They have their own parking lot which fits about 6-8 cars. The parking lot entrance is on the side street, Channel Hill Lane; you can't get to it directly from Luther Rd. So, turn onto Channel Hill Lane and then make a quick right into the parking lot. Overflow parking is available on the neighborhood streets. TOURS: I recommend visiting any preschool before enrolling your child. Take your time; watch and listen while you're there. Take notes. Ask questions. See how your child reacts to the surroundings and the other kids. Talk to the other parents if you can. (When I was looking at preschools, I accidentally met a few parents of Sierra Preschoolers at different venues -- Mighty Mites class, the local library, and while I was there at the school), and every single one raved about Sierra Preschool and how we would love it. Now I know why and I agree!) JUST DO IT!: And if you have any reservations about being a participating parent, don't! It's not that big of a deal, doesn't take up too much time, and you get to meet wonderful people from the community. Message me thru Yelp (upper right corner of my review) if you have any questions.

First as a preschool teacher and then as a nanny. I searched and did research for 4 months before choosing Bell's. I wanted a classroom setting where my son could grow and move to different classrooms but I also wanted the warmth that comes from an at home daycare. Bell's is the perfect combo for us. To say my son is fair skinned is an understatement. He loves playing outside and they have made sure he comes home sunburned free every time. He's into anything that makes a mess and when I pick him up I know he played hard and had a blast because he is covered in fun dirt. His diaper is always clean and he has never had a diaper rash so I know they are watching him non stop and taking care of all his needs. Everyday he comes home with a new life skill. For example today he was able to drink from the drinking fountain all on his own. He's a early 2 year old and the youngest there. The other kids there are so sweet and always say hi to him when we walk in and love to inform us of all his shenanigans of the day. The teachers are patient and loving. They know exactly what my son is capable of learning behavioral wise which is much needed for our first baby who we underestimate how fast he's becoming a big boy. Thank you for helping us grow without being condescending. My little guy is excited every time we walk through the door and runs without looking back into your amazing yard.

The progression from the "little kids" class to the Preschool class is such a mile stone for the kids because they have to meet specific requirements to move up.

My son spends his day in a loving environment surrounded by a farm. There are gardens, and animals, learning and fun! When I was looking for a place to have my son spend each day, I never imagined I would be so lucky to find a place like Bells!

Stephanie and her crew were always so loving, creative and nurturing, we were so happy the three years my daughter went there. On top of being a great first "school" experience, the environment is warm, friendly and very hands on. They were always doing a cute project, in fact we still have the ornaments and plates they made. Stephanie has a wonderful outside area for kids to play and roll around on the grass, they definitely aren't cooped up inside all day. Anyhow I hope everybody is doing well there and they will always have my recommendation and that of our family.

It is small and in a country setting, there is lots of land to run, play climb and get dirty, and has lots of natural play, climbing areas with a plethora of materials to explore. The teachers are exceptionally qualified, and in tune with each individual child and their developmental needs. They are a true Montessori school. Every time I pick up my son he has learned so many new things. He is talking more, is happy, asks to come back, and is becoming a more independent, self sufficient, confident, well rounded child. Before attending this school we attended two other preschools (one was a co-op, and the other was a day care/ preschool). Neither of those programs were remotely as high of caliber as The Children's House. This school has really become a blessing for us as it provides an incredible amount of enrichment and exploration with individual attention and higher standards for our child. My only regret is not starting with children's house sooner!
