    It is a really fun place to dance the environment is so inclusive. The teachers help the children pick a pace that works best for them. It's a really kind and caring environment.

    My tween daughter has been dancing at Mirror Image for nearly five years and it has been fantastic. They offer a wide variety of classes for all ages. The studios are clean and comfortable. My daughter dances with the competition team. It is a lot of work and time consuming, but she absolutely loves dancing as well as the sense of community Mirror Image has created. I highly recommend Mirror Image to anyone who wants to have fun taking high-quality classes.

    Since the age of two, my daughter has been dancing. Mirror Image Dance Company recently became our daughter's new dance studio, and it has been the best move for our family. It is amazing how much her dance technique has improved! The owner treats us as if we were family, and she loves it there. Marlaina is extremely gifted in the way she runs her dance business. Her organizational skills and communication skills are second to none! Each and every girl who walks through that door is treated with genuine care by her and her staff. It is impossible for me to express my appreciation for the dance studio, its owner Marlaina, and the members of her staff as well as the teachers. For me, the cherry on top is having UC Davis alumni dance teachers. Marlaina is also a UCD alumna!

    My experience here was brief but it left a bad taste in my mouth…read more I had some surgery and needed a supportive environment to help me get back in shape. I had heard Kaia was a great place for women of all she's and fitness levels. It was close to my house. Perfect! I stopped by at a time when there were no classes going on. There was one instructor there and she barely made eye contact with me when I entered. It was clear throughout our exchange that she was really not interested in answering my questions. She kept referring me to the website. It was almost as though I had annoyed her by coming in and checking it out. To be perfectly honest, I was pretty disappointed. It was pretty clear that if this was going to be my instructor, I would not get the encouragement I would need. Sadly, I decided I wasn't going to come back.

    I cannot say enough about Kaia Fit Davis. It has been under new ownership since the beginning of…read morethe year and it became the best place to exercise in Davis. In the past two years I tried almost every gym in Davis (I went as far as Natomas) but I stopped looking for anything else after my first day at Kaia. They have all kinds of classes, and instructors help you modify each exercise as needed. Nobody cares how you look, what you are wearing and your fitness level. This is a group of women of all ages who come to challenge themselves (whatever level of fitness they are at) and want to enjoy their hour of exercise. Everyone was very engaging from day one at Kaia. This is so refreshing! I made real friends. This is an amazing place, with wonderful instructors and owners.

    When we first moved to Davis, we assumed our kids would go to one of the great public schools here…read more-- that was part of why we chose this area. After the first few months, with 27-30 kids in our son's class, we observed that it was hard for him to get individual attention, and during our first parent-teacher conference, it felt like his teacher didn't really know him. A friend mentioned Peregrine, and at first we weren't sure -- especially because of the tuition. But when we visited, the campus immediately stood out. There were tree forts, gardens planted by students, zip lines, hay bales, and ample space to run. It just felt alive. Our son absolutely loves it there. Every morning he sprints onto the playground before we can even say goodbye. The teachers know him -- really know him. Within the first two weeks, they even noticed he was having trouble pronouncing certain words and suggested we check with our pediatrician about a speech evaluation. That early attention made such a difference. We've also been amazed by how intentional the academics are. He has one-on-one reading time twice a week, small group literacy sessions, and a class library full of graphic novels like Dog Man and Zita the Space Girl that keep him excited about reading. His progress has been incredible. He learns outside -- rain or shine -- with teachers who guide gardening, cooking, ceramics, and project-based lessons. The school celebrates different cultures through music, food, and dance, and the meals are cooked right on site and actually healthy. What stands out most is how much the teachers care. They communicate proactively, notice social dynamics, and address things right away. It's clear that he's seen, supported, and surrounded by people who genuinely care about his growth. After his first week there we received a detailed assessment of his reading and math levels with handwritten notes explaining areas of improvement and where we can help him further. This sort of detailed individual feedback really showed how they truly took the time to get to know our son. We also really appreciate the weekly class emails we get from his teachers. They summarize what the kids learned that week in reading, math, and other subjects -- along with photos and little anecdotes. It's such a thoughtful touch, and it makes us feel connected to what's happening in the classroom day to day. In addition the teachers are always accessible before and after class for us to discuss concerns and questions that arise. As the more financially cautious one in our family, I wasn't sure how we'd feel about private school -- but seeing how happy and curious he is now, it truly feels worth it. Watching him grow, ask questions, and grow his love of learning has been such a gift. One thing we've learned is there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to school. Davis has so many great options -- I'm just glad we found one that fits our son so well. We ended up enrolling our daughter there at the preschool as well!

    This is our forth year at the Peregrine school: my daughter started at 3 years old in their…read morepreschool and now she is in their elementary school. I wanted to share our experience from this most recent school year. The school's full-day kindergarten program has small student-to-teacher ratios, a nurturing environment, a terrific teaching team, and an immersive project-based curriculum. My daughter was in a classroom of 12 children and three teachers. Two of the teachers swapped places depending on the subjects that were taught that day, so there were always two teachers with the kids. The school created a trilingual program where the kindergarteners were learning a bit of Spanish and Mandarin in addition to having the core curriculum in English. What I particularly appreciate about the language component is how the teachers wove in cultural literacy into their lessons along with language instruction. There are many things that set apart this kindergarten program from others. Six hours of daily programming allows teachers to create a rich experience filled with language arts, math, science, gardening, cooking, music, and movement. The program allows you to drop off your kid at 8:30 am and pick them up by 3:15 pm with before and after school care available to those who need it; instruction takes place between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. Children are served healthy, nutritious, and well-balanced meals that are prepared on site and given at snack time and lunch. The food is so good that my child begged me to get a recipe from the school chef for a "lentil dish that is better than candy." The school's acre of gardens and play space allows the children to learn and play while being surrounded by beautiful nature. Kindergarteners spend at least an hour outside each day. Additionally, the school has three teacher specialists who work with the students weekly in the areas of gardening/cooking, music, and movement. The incredible food program coupled with the gardening lessons exposed my child to lots of new food that she was resistant to try before. My daughter particularly enjoys the kale and peas she gets to eat straight from the school garden. This past year the class got to go on five field trips to visit the Davis food co-op, a farm in West Sac, and attend three events at the Mondavi center. (This does not include many smaller trips to the playgrounds and parks near the school.) The Peregrine school also arranges for performances around Chinese New Year and other holidays on the school site. Towards the end of the school year, as part of their science unit, the class got to watch caterpillars hatch out of eggs and transform into butterflies. Children also witnessed the entire lifecycle of silkworms ending with moths laying eggs. I feel lucky to have this kindergarten program available in our town and I wanted to share our experience in case this may be a good fit for other families in this group. The Peregrine school offers instruction at all elementary grade levels through sixth grade in case you have an older child and you are interested in their program.

I thought it would be hard to go back to work and put my young children in daycare, but they were both so happy. I felt great knowing that they were having an amazing time at school.

I have not seen teacher turnover since enrolled, which is a good sign. Their outdoor area is awesome. I love that they teach the kids about gardening and let them have lots of outside time, digging in the sand and dirt, getting messy and exploring, building their immune system and just being kids. Learning about growing food and tasting peas off the vine. It's such an enriching environment and my daughter has learned so much and developed her language skills (English and Spanish!) and vocabulary about bugs and colors and all that, as well as motor skills and social skills. I like that we get reports about her development and digital picture albums and blogs, it helps us feel involved. I see so many pictures of my girl painting and playing with water and making crafts and dancing! Right now due to COVID, they are being very careful with all adults and older kids wearing masks and sanitization and temperature checks every day. We also get updates about if anyone is testing and the results (anonymously). We toured lots of places before deciding on Peregrine West and will stay here as we love it. A major major benefit is the made from scratch balanced meals they give to the kids every day. It's nice to not need to worry about packing lunches and snacks. The teachers tell me if my kid tries veggies all the time. All I can say is they take good care of my daughter and I highly recommend!
