My grandson feels very comfortable and at home there. I appreciate the healthy rhythm of each day which includes lots of time for play-inside and out, circle time, art, cooking, and shared mealtimes. The outside play area is lovely, with plenty of opportunities for sensory experiences with sand and water play, swings, a climbing structure and more. Inside is peaceful and serene with toys that inspire the children to develop their imagination and creativity. I also appreciate that the children are supported in working together, speaking their needs, and developing practical life skills by doing what they can for themselves. Birthdays at Colibri are very special too!

The environment at Peek a Boo playhouse helped to support and encourage both my kid's rhythm of learn and play. This is a non judgmental haven for both the children and parents/families.

Miss Megan has been a pillar in the community for over 20 years and I have to add has left an everlasting impression on all the little people she encounters. A gem of a preschool.

If only we began here sooner! If only I had listened to our neighbors' recommendations. Super…read morelong story short, we (finally) ended up coming to Learning to Learn Preschool after we ruled out that the preschool our daughter was in just was not right for her. We had been there for almost two years. Lots of ups and downs, behaviorally, emotionally... we just really wanted it to work out, but it didn't. We had visited Learning to Learn twice when we were narrowing down our options. Honestly, we wanted somewhere which would work best with our budget and our work schedules. We just should have picked this place first. My daughter was a student for approx. 3-4 months this year, during the summer. In that time, we saw dramatic improvements with her behavior and personality. I believe the teachers here really do care about the children's well being. All the staff was extremely pleasant and always greeted us with a smile. They offer field trips and family activities outside of the school hours: Pizza park picnic, movie night... It was a great experience in the short time we were with them. Highly recommended.

The staff is sweet and caring and so thoughtful. They provide amazing learning opportunities. My children are learning and growing each day. They feel safe and loved and genuinely excited to be there. I can't recommend learning to learn enough.

First...the staff. We have seen multiple teachers come through since our son attended Mt. Taylor in…read moreRohnert Park. They've all been amazing and our son loved all of them. (They didn't get to retain all the staff, mostly due to the free TK as many preschools and daycares likely felt the hit.) But let me tell you about Martha (the director) and Maria, one of the teachers. They are both absolutely fantastic. My son adores them both. When he started there at a little over 2 years old, he was still in diapers and had a speech delay. They allowed his speech therapist to come in and see him once a week and even helped them find a less distracting location when my son wasn't focusing as well. Once we started potty training, his teacher, Maria, stepped up and not only helped train him at school, but helped train us parents, too! Her advice during that time (my guy was a stubborn one) was incredibly helpful and welcome. We are leaving so that our guy can attend a preschool down the street from our house and that is open during winter break as it was very hard last year, financially, when I couldn't find a place to take him while they were closed due to his severe food allergies. Which reminds me, they handled that amazingly! They made sure he didn't eat others' food and if they were going to give a treat to all the kids, they either provided our son his approved treat we left at the school or sent us a photo of the ingredients to be sure he could have it. Highly recommend this school and I'm so sad to leave. The monthly rate was excellent and competitive and they left huge impressions on our son (and on us) in such a good way. His speech, potty training, counting, letters, etc. all improved dramatically here. More people need to hear about them. They're fantastic! And they're so easy to talk to! Highly recommend. We'll miss you guys!

I would give them six stars if I could. The staff and experience with Mt Taylor in Rohnert Park has…read morebeen a great gift to me and my family. My daughter Sofia was embraced with open arms. Because she has Down Syndrome, Sofia receives daily therapies that Mt Taylor was gracious enough to host at their school, making it possible and easier for us to ensure her success. I love how easy the staff is to talk to and how comfortable they make the parents feel with everything; I never feel stressed and am greeted like a friend every time I pick Sofia up or drop her off (especially when I pick her up lol). Sofia thrives at Mt Taylor and I have been so proud of her maturity and growth while under their expert and compassionate care. Not only that, but they charge an incredibly reasonable monthly rate with flexible pickup and drop off times to accommodate any schedule without requiring a complicated fee schedule or extra work for the parent. Thank you thank you again Martha, Maria and Natalee for your kindness!!

We started last fall in the Parent and Me class and the growth I have seen from day 1 to now is just incredible. He's able to have conversations with other adults, wave and give high fives, and love being around the other kids. We bumped up to 2 days a week last January, and I feel very strongly that the older kiddos really helped my son find his voice. It's nice that we weren't locked in for the year going 1 day a week. We are able to discuss with the director how we as parents feel things are going and can change our program when we all agree it's time. The director is absolutely top notch. She's intentional with every activity she sets out for the kids, and lets the kids take the lead (within reason). She's in tune with the needs of every child, flexible, caring, and has helped me as a first-time mom relax and trust my son's timeline. It also helps that my son is also really drawn to her, and talks about her all the time! A co-op is a co-operation program where both parents and teachers are helping to guide children throughout their early developmental years. As parents, we contribute to the learning environment by fostering communication skills, gross and fine motor skills, develop social-emotional understanding and respect, and learning independence. I love how I get to stay and be there with my son. I am able to see how he grows, and I can take on duties to ensure a healthy and clean environment. I'm so excited to see how "Caterpillars" go this year because this will be the first time my son will be at school 3 days a week for 3 hours and only 1 of those days I will be with him.

5 Stars - KinderCare Has Been a Blessing!…read more We came to KinderCare after a difficult experience at a previous daycare that felt unprofessional and poorly managed. My older son would come home angry and sad. He was regularly put in timeouts and had his playtime taken away for what they called "bad behavior." They even claimed he had choked another child at just three years old, which was shocking and completely out of character. He would cry and beg not to go. That's when we knew we had to make a change. From the moment we toured KinderCare, we felt a difference. The staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. They also accept 4Cs, which was a huge help. From day one, my son came home smiling. He has been happy to go every single day since. His teacher, Emily, has been especially wonderful. She's patient, kind, and really understands my strong-willed child. She works with him thoughtfully and helps him thrive in a way that feels supportive rather than punitive. She's been instrumental in helping him adjust and grow. KinderCare also recently welcomed my one-year-old, and again, the experience has been amazing. I could tell from the very first day that he had a great time with the staff and the other children. It gave me so much peace of mind to know that both my kids are happy, safe, and truly cared for. KinderCare doesn't just supervise children--they see them, understand them, and support them as individuals. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Both of our children loved every teacher and every classroom they were in throughout the years. They were always excited to go to TLE, and they believed that every classmate was their friend. The classrooms were lovely, clean and well organized. The meal plan was superb, and very convenient. The outdoor play areas were large, shaded, customized to age range and abilities, and filled with bikes, water pads, and sensory toys. Communication with the director, Kenzie, and assistant director, Rosie, was immediate, considerate and thorough. Our eldest was fully prepared for kindergarten when she graduated from TLE. She understood classroom dynamics and expectations, and she had mastered measurable skills in language, reading, math and art. Our youngest was loved and nurtured during his time at TLE, and the teachers were incredible at supporting us during potty-training and different developmental stages. There is a lot of love, care, and attention to detail in this safe, professional and fun little school. We miss it a lot!

I can't say enough great things about Mixed Greens!!! Our son LOVED going to school from day one :)…read morewhen we went to pick him up he had the biggest smile on his face and didn't want to leave! Everyday he says how excited he is to go to school... it's just so priceless to see that sparkle of joy and curiosity in his eyes. He constantly mentions how everyone is just do kind, fun and welcoming. We looked at many preschools and knew it in our hearts that Mixed Greens was the right place for him. We know how early childhood education is extremely important because it is the foundation for their emotional and social development. Mixed Greens has a Reggio Emilia approach that is incredibly thoughtful in so may ways and rooted in the belief that children experience the world and express themselves in a hundred different languages (like words, movement, drawings, paintings, buildings, sculptures, and more), recognizing that children are extremely capable of having agency to lead their learning process. Mixed Greens is much more than a traditional preschool and truly creates an environment that develops the whole child to inspire a life-long love for learning. Thank you Heather Ashton Black and the entire staff for creating this amazing preschool and allowing us be part of that beautiful family!

He is now 4 and can write his name. He enjoys practicing writing words & counting. He wants to learn to read and I can see him trying. The best thing I have noticed that you probably don't see anywhere else, is this: At the end of a long day when he's the last kid to be picked up (this is at 5 or 6 pm), I find him engaged in an actual activity with a teacher, and both of them are 100% involved in it. He has grown so much there, and I know it's because of the way they interact with him at Small Miracles.
