Our son started attending Noah's Ark this school year after a very difficult and disruptive…read moreexperience at another nearby preschool and I can't say enough good things about it. The staff are warm and attentive to not just my son, but our whole family, including little sister who we can't wait to enroll as well. Administration is communicative, the curriculum is engaging, and it's just a warm and lovely place to be a part of. I also appreciate that they regularly have events open to the whole family so you feel like they are invested in knowing your whole family. The school is very diverse in both the children that attend and the staff as well, which is incredibly important to us. We are choosing to keep our son with Noah's Ark an additional year, rather than going to our local schools pre-K program because we have been so happy with it. 100% recommend to everyone.

My son went here over a year ago as a preschooler right when he turned 4. I wanted him to develop…read moremore social skills since we had just moved to the area at the time. When picking him up, I always observed him left by himself to play in a little corner while the other kids would gather together in a separate part of the classroom. One day, one of the teacher's aids called my son "abnormal" and suggested I have him checked out. At the time, I had an existing appointment for him to be seen for an autism diagnosis - which has since been confirmed. The main teacher also said that the preschool wasn't a good fit for him after I had asked about facilitated play to encourage more socialization. They were not willing to put in any extra effort for my child with special needs. Fast forward, I ended up taking him out of this preschool and brought him to Napa Junction Elementary preschool which was an integrated class for autistic and neurotypical kids. It was inclusive and the teachers and aids were excellent. It was truly a judgement free atmosphere and my son has been thriving ever since. Being a Christian school, I thought Noah's Arc would be more inclusive of kids with different needs and judgement free. This was not the case. I don't usually like to write bad reviews but hopefully it will help parents decide whether or not it is a "right fit" if their child is autistic.

My son went here from 2 years old until he entered TK. This was the best experience that he could…read morehave had. He is very prepared for TK and knows his ABCs and how to count to 30 (he's 4 years old). The teachers always listened to him and to me. They were able to assist when he was diagnosed with autism. The schedules that they offer work extremely well for a FT working parent. The school is located in a safe area and I never had any concerns. The majority of the teachers have been there for over a decade (some twice as long!) And during the graduation multi-generation families spoke about the school; that just shows you how well known and loved this school is by the community.

They are also very thoughtful with teaching the kiddos new topics each week, and they do tons of art. The facility is also very new-- new paint, new carpets, new play structures. I highly recommend Sunshine house.

I'm writing this review as a former parent whose children attended St. Vincent Ferrer Preschool…read more Unfortunately, our experience left me extremely disappointed, particularly when it came to the school's ability to understand and support children on the autism spectrum. I truly wanted this school to be a place where my children could learn, grow, and feel accepted. However, I often felt that there was a lack of understanding, knowledge, and appropriate support when it came to my child's individual needs. Instead of feeling like we had a team working alongside us, I felt like I was constantly having to advocate for basic understanding and accommodations. Eventually, I felt that I had no choice but to discontinue my children's education at the school because I did not feel confident that their needs were being adequately understood or supported. What is especially frustrating is seeing resources and effort being put into things like a coffee cart and taking yoga classes while families of children with additional needs are struggling to receive the education, training, and support they deserve. There is absolutely nothing wrong with creating something nice for staff and families, but I believe the school should also prioritize investing in staff training, autism awareness, individualized support, and resources for children with special needs. Children on the spectrum should not be viewed simply as difficult or disruptive when they need additional support. They deserve educators who are knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and willing to understand their differences. I sincerely hope St. Vincent Ferrer takes feedback from families like mine seriously and makes meaningful changes. Our children deserve to be supported, understood, and given the same opportunity to succeed as every other child.

Heather welcomed my family and provided us with a tour. The classrooms were clean and well organized. Your little ones will enjoy the room themes and toy collection.

If only the management team would consider opening as early as 6am for drop offs, then most single moms like me would appreciate it in the future: I highly recommend St. Vincent's Preschool program to families who desires to grow in their faith and become part of a loving community in Vallejo.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Fairfield Montessori. When our family first moved…read moreto California, finding the right place for our daughter was incredibly important to us, and finding Fairfield Montessori was such a blessing during that transition. From the very beginning, we knew our daughter was somewhere she was genuinely cared for, supported, and encouraged to grow. The entire Fairfield Montessori team has always been incredibly kind, welcoming, communicative, and supportive of our family. We have watched our daughter grow so much during her time at Fairfield Montessori, both academically and personally. Most importantly, we always felt confident dropping her off each day knowing she was in a safe, nurturing environment surrounded by people who truly cared about her. As she moves on to kindergarten, saying goodbye to Fairfield Montessori is incredibly bittersweet. This school will always hold a special place in our hearts because it was such an important part of the beginning of our life here in California. We are so grateful for the role the Fairfield team played in our daughter's early years and for the wonderful memories she made there. If you are looking for a loving, nurturing Montessori environment for your child, I wholeheartedly recommend Fairfield Montessori. Thank you to the entire Fairfield Montessori team for everything you have done for our daughter and our family. We will miss you tremendously!
