Our son attended Bert & Ernie's Preschool in Dixon from the time he was 4 months old until age 3,…read moreso our family was part of this school community for nearly 3 yrs. During that time, he successfully transitioned through every classroom. When he moved to blue room, which has a much more structured environment, he struggled with the adjustment. Like many toddlers learning new classroom expectations, he had difficulty following directions at times. During one incident, a teacher physically picked up my son while redirecting him and he reacted by hitting the teacher. We were shown a video of this interaction during a meeting with the owner and staff. At that same meeting, the owner informed us that our son could no longer continue in the program, stating he was not developmentally ready for classroom structure despite being in their care since he was 4 months old. This was extremely disappointing after trusting this school with our child since infancy. We expected the school to work with us on a behavior plan or transition support rather than abruptly ending his enrollment. We later requested written documentation of the termination and received a letter from the director stating that we voluntarily withdrew our son, which is not accurate. The decision for him to leave the program was made by the owner. Since leaving, our son has transitioned to another daycare and is doing very well, which suggests that the issue may have been more about the environment than his ability to participate in a structured class. Parents should be aware of how behavioral challenges during classroom transitions may be handled. I hope the school reviews how situations like this are handled in the future so that families whose children are adjusting to new classroom expectations receive support rather than immediate removal from the program.

VACAVILLE LOCATION Recommend: NO…read more Advice: RUN Appreciation to the director, Lisa and the Bumblebee teachers (Ms. Penny, Ms. Z, and Ms. Amanda) We have a young child and am speaking from our experience with the ladybug class (1 year olds). We are sharing from a place of flexibility, a understanding that mistakes happen, and that we are all ultimately human. However, it becomes concerning when it becomes a pattern. Some teachers presented as overwhelmed, stressed, unkept, careless, burned out and not interested in the child's well-being. Here are several examples: 1. At pick up, another child was wearing our child's change of clothes, despite the clothes being clearly labeled, inside of a clearly labeled bag, AND even inside a clearly labeled cubby that displayed a 8 x 10 photo of our child. 2. A teacher would gossip about other parents in my presence. 3. Our child came home dirty everyday. Let us repeat EVERYDAY. Dirty clothes, yes, but we are referring to filthy face and hair. Dirt, food, snot. Perhaps wiping a face of a child not old enough to do it themselves is not in their standard procedure? 4. Almost weekly, our child's pacifier was being used by another child. This was documented in their posted photos to sutterfly. Teachers did catch this and we understand these are 1 year olds. however, at times teachers have been observed talking among themselves and just sitting there not presently engaging the children and makes one wonder if there were times this was not caught. 5. MULTIPLE times we were asked to update the same paperwork within days to a week of submitting the original. Perhaps misplaced? Overwhelmed? Careless? 6. Eliminating the lunch service was a disappointment. On numerous occasions, teachers verbal report of our child's food and milk intake were inconsistent with the daily written report and even the food left in their lunchbox. We had to throw out perishable items from their lunchbox after we arrived home as numerously the items (yes, nutritious) were not offered to our child at lunch time. When inquired, it was not due to the child declining the item, the teacher took the initiative and decided to save the item for the child's snack. BUT the center provides a snack and the item was forgotten to even be served at snack time. 7. The director and teachers information to parents were numerously inconsistent and contradictory. Confusing. The center did not foster an application of individual development for the 1 year olds. Infants, less than 1, are able to nap based on the child's needs. However, the 1 year old class is structured for children to only have 1 nap at a set time and bottles are highly 'discouraged.' Not child-centered. The littles are forced to fit inside this one-size-fits-all box. Again, not focused on individual development. This may work great for some children but our child at 14 months sometimes needs 2 naps. They may 'say' they will offer another nap but some teachers are not attuned to individual needs and cues. When masks were required by the State and County, a few teachers wore masks inappropriately or even not at all. Unfortunately, they were maskless for the young children that at the time didn't have the option of vaccination due to their age. This was not a isolated experience as the department of social services licensing observed a staff wearing their mask below their chin in the preschool class when required to do so.

We had our son at L'Academy for nearly two years…read more His one year-old care was exceptional, and the school facility itself is brand new and clean, with bright happy colors, and some wonderful people. The school looks very appealing. Unfortunately, there has been much turnover within the staff, to varying degrees of quality. Recent months have proved very concerning. There has been a lack of control surrounding gun-related content among the children, which I never thought could be an issue at a preschool. One child had very specific, graphic violent language (my initial review included a few of his phrases and was flagged by Yelp). This child told me he was making guns from legos, and said other deeply alarmingly violent things to other children, observed by staff. We and other parents expressed our concerns over this issue for months on end, and the staff hemmed and hawed and sat on their hands. Many meetings were offered, but there was no corrective action taken. We left because we wanted to protect our child from gun-related content, but there were other issues. Despite touting otherwise, there is no "curriculum", no learning goals established week to week or month to month. The plan seems to be to survive the day, understandably. We had hoped for more kindergarten preparation, and less "daycare" as our son got older and more capable. There also was not one, but two, separate instances of teachers posting pictures of students to their personal Instagram accounts, obviously without parental consent. This school looks super sweet, but optics deceived us, as there clearly is no global plan. Every childcare facility will have its issues, and there will always be other families and staff members with different values than you - but it's up to the school to ensure there is a safe learning environment, which this school failed at, in our experience.

I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about this preschool/daycare! My search for…read morethe right place for my children was incredibly stressful like many parents, I'm very particular about who I trust with my kids. When I came across L'Academy, I called to ask a few questions, and they immediately offered to schedule a tour so I could see if it was the right fit for our family. The moment I walked in, I knew this was the place for us! My daughter started at L'Academy when she was just over a year old in the baby room. She had never been cared for by anyone other than me or her father, so naturally, we both cried that first day. But the staff handled everything with such warmth and care. They welcomed her with so much love that her tears disappeared within seconds -- and mine soon followed. One of my favorite things about L'Academy is the parent app. It keeps us updated throughout the day with details on meals, nap times, diaper changes, and even adorable photos of our little ones (shared securely only with parents). Now, my daughter is over two and in the toddler room, and her development has been amazing. Her speech and knowledge have grown tremendously -- she can sing her ABCs, count to 20, and even count to 10 in Spanish! (Neither her father nor I speak Spanish, so I know she learned that from her wonderful teachers!) The staff is incredibly attentive and proactive. If there's ever a minor incident, they immediately intervene and document everything in the app for parents. I recently enrolled my second daughter, who is now six months old, and this time there were no tears at all -- from either of us! It's such a relief knowing both my babies are in a loving, safe, and nurturing environment while I'm at work. As parents, we all know how hard it is to entrust someone else with our children. As an admittedly overprotective mom, I can confidently say L'Academy has been the perfect place for our family. The teachers are truly amazing, kind-hearted, patient, and full of genuine love for these kids. Seeing the way they interact with the children often brings tears to my eyes. My daughter talks about her teachers constantly and how much she loves them. Thank you to the incredible staff at L'Academy for caring for my babies as if they were your own, and for giving this anxious mom such peace of mind. You are all truly a blessing!
