She comes home sharing all the things she has learned, singing songs and looking for books or toys she can share that goes with their monthly unit. She loves her teachers, all the art projects and fun events they have all year long. My son just recently started in the toddler program and he is loving being at school too. He comes home singing songs, pointing to colors and counting. He talks a lot about his friends and teachers. We love seeing the pictures of the kids working and doing fun activities each month. It is so nice to know that they are safe and taken well care of. It is even nicer that the director and staff go above and beyond for the kids. They truly care about their happiness and growth!

I'd like to share my experience with Elk Grove Montessori School as the mother of a 5 year old who…read morewas born during the pandemic. As a pandemic baby, my child was initially shy and hesitant to talk or interact with others. However, after attending Elk Grove Montessori for over two years, she has become enthusiastic about sharing stories from school every day. You can see in her eyes how much care and attention she has received from her teachers. She often tells me how much she likes all her teachers. On several occasions, we've run into her teachers outside of school, and each time, she rushes over for a hug, which her teachers always return warmly. Afterward, she proudly tells us, "That's my teacher!" Academically, she can now recognize all the letters along with their phonics, spell simple three-letter words at times, count from 1 to 100, perform addition within 10, and talk about different stories. She did mention that some children occasionally behaved inappropriately, but I believe that can happen anywhere--I heard similar stories from my two older children when they were in a different preschool. We shared our concerns with the school, and since then, she hasn't mentioned it again. The school and the teachers are attentive, caring, and truly listen to the children's needs. Overall, I'm very grateful for the positive impact Elk Grove Montessori School has had on my daughter's growth and confidence.

We did and the tour went great. After I emailed a couple follow up questions (how do I pay, where were the bathrooms ect, and the days/times) i was ignored . I emailed again a week later (also after my start date ) that email also ignored . I do understand life can get busy but this very much felt intentional and unprofessional. I emailed a 3rd time weeks later and finally heard back with a short answer and offering my deposit back . Not quite sure how we go from a start date to not following up with me at all. 9 months I waited just to have to start over to find a school. It's disappointing and the administrator clearly did not want us there . Sad because my daughter is quite amazing. Brianna

Absolutely Exceptional - More Than Just a School…read more Year after year, this Montessori school continues to amaze our family. It is rare to find a place that balances rigorous academic excellence with such a genuine focus on character development and respect. We have watched our youngest (now 4) blossom here over the last two years. The growth in his education level is nothing short of outstanding--he is learning concepts I wouldn't have expected at his age, yet he is doing it with joy and curiosity. But beyond the academics, what impresses me most is the school's commitment to constantly bringing in new activities and enhancing the learning environment. They never settle; they are always finding ways to be better. A few amazing days of the year for you and the family: All the Holidays - The school ensures we celebrate holidays from across all cultures and life. Fathers' Night: An amazing way to connect their children with their fathers. One of the best moments I look forward to every year. I Mother Tea Time: Another amazing experience for the children to spend some quality academic and fun time with their moms. This standard of excellence isn't limited to just one teacher; it is consistent across the board. Every staff member, at every level, cares deeply about these children. If you are looking for a place that will truly invest in your child's future, this is it. We couldn't be happier.

It's extremely difficult to be on the same page with her. This place is money hungry. A random teacher aide asked me to pick up my son 30 minutes earlier, because my son was crying... The aide said Lily asked her to ask me. Wouldn't Lily need to bring that up to me? I spoke with Lily and asked why would I need to pick up my son 30 minutes before, when I pay for 4 hours? I asked if my tuition would be lowered and she immediately was defensive and took back her absurd request. To top the day off my son was covered in dirt. From his face, hands, and shirt. I understand kids will get messy. However, my son was covered in filth. The aide who was walking with him didn't bother to wash his hands + face after coming in from playing outside. Please think twice before coming here unless you want to deal with the concerning amount of turnover for teachers. I highly suggest you check out INDEED. You will find teachers complaining about lack of pay + structure.

It was a bit embarrassing as a parent but shows how much love is poured into our child. My daughter excelled academically and I noticed a difference immediately. When there was a disagreement or an incident Ms Leah informed us and let me know what happened and what actions were taken right away. We worked one on one to reach the same behavior goals. She truly wants all her kids to succeed! It was always nice to get pictures with smiles and crafts and always knew my daughter was well taken care of. One of the differences that sets Ms Leah apart is her communication and love for kids. She is quick to respond to messages and you can see her passion for children. All the parents I've talked to agree that each day our child is motivated and wants to go to school and that really says it all!! Since my daughter is now going into elementary school, our time here has come to an end. We love you Ms Leah and will miss you!

I was given very detailed information about what the program would entail and was able to see a class in session before enrolling. As my son completes pre-k in a few weeks, I have to give a shout out to Ms. Mayte and the team (especially Ms. Seena and Ms. Miriam) for all they have done for us. My son started the school year pretty shy and apprehensive and has blossomed into a bubbly and social preschooler. It's been an amazing thing to see. The school gives us regular updates throughout the week on the Brightwheel app and anytime I've had any questions or needed some time to chat, I would hear back from his teachers promptly. We get photos through the app as well that are always exciting. Sometimes it's a snap of playtime, a celebration, or completing a milestone and receiving kudos. Along with the basics of letters and numbers, my son has gotten to learn about different cultural holidays and has loved telling us what he's learned. He always seems to be doing a new activity and doing the half day program has definitely been the right choice for our family. Ms. Mayte took the time to really get to know our son and has been instrumental in all areas of his development this year. I can only hope that he will continue to have great teachers for the rest of his academic journey!

Our family has been with Sylvia, John, and Joan since 2018. They have become a second family and…read moremade it so easy as parents to find a sense of peace knowing our kiddos are being well cared for. All of my children have been with them since they were infants (2 months & 5 months old). Their day to day is structured which helps create a routine for the kids and they know what to expect each day. The program includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks which are all nutritious and my kids love (I give credit for my kiddos being great eaters, they love veggies, to the balanced meals they receive). Even from infancy formula is provided if needed along with food plans outlined once solids are introduced. Once old enough they facilitate a preschool program, my two year old can hold a pencil correctly and does his worksheets daily. The early introduction to these skills continue on to help prepare for kindergarten. We decided to keep our kids at Harvest House until they started kindergarten, and credit the curriculum and dedication they set in place of reading, sight words, and math to setting them up for success. My 8 and 5 yr old progressed at different paces but both felt more confidence going into kindergarten. In the eight years we have been with them they haven't been closed outside the Holidays and Vacation days outlined at the beginning of the year, providing us working parents with the reliability and stability needed. Harvest House has been a blessing for our family creating a safe, caring, and structured program for our kids. My eight year old still wants to go back to ZaZa's and Papa's on her school breaks. Truly could not recommend Harvest House more as top notch child care provider. Ainsley, Hadley, Dalton, Doug and Kali

Harvest House Daycare, led by Ms. Sylvia with the loving support of Ms. Joan and Papa, is truly a…read morehidden gem. From the moment you see the space, you can feel the difference -- her home and large backyard offer room for children to move, play, and grow in a calm, nurturing environment. It feels like family, not a crowded commercial center. The children are well cared for, fed fresh organic vegetables and even home-grown fruits, and they come home happy, clean, and secure every day. What truly sets Harvest House apart is the focus on early learning, especially reading and math. Ms. Sylvia follows an old-school, pen-and-paper approach that emphasizes literacy, numbers, and repetition over constant arts and crafts. I've had two daughters here -- my first (Delaney) attended from age 3 to 5, and my second (Henley) started as a newborn at just 2 months old and is still with Ms. Sylvia now at age 5, entering kindergarten next year. My youngest has already surpassed the kindergarten curriculum: she knew sight words by age 2.5, began reading by 3.5, and now reads at a second-grade level. When my first daughter was born, I called Harvest House Daycare when she was six months old and there was no space available. At the time, I enrolled her in an expensive, brand-name private school believing the higher price would guarantee better care and education. I later learned that branding and cost do not equal quality. The structure, academic focus, and individualized attention at Harvest House far exceeded what we experienced elsewhere. We were incredibly fortunate to later secure a spot, and both of my daughters thrived here academically, socially, and emotionally. The price is absolutely worth it when you consider the long-term growth, confidence, and academic advantage your child gains. With reliable hours from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., genuine care, and a strong academic foundation, Harvest House Daycare offers something rare -- a place where children are truly prepared for school and life, not just watched during the day.

The Montessori approach allows children to learn at their own pace while building confidence, independence, and curiosity about the world around them.
