Best school ever. We've had such a positive experience here -- the staff and teachers genuinely care about the students. My kids have been coming here for years, and we're so grateful for the care, consistency, and love they receive every time. Ms. Marley, Vernica, Melissa, Michelle, Jessie, Patricia, and Claudia are AMAZING. They go above and beyond, and it truly shows. read more

He tenido a tres de mis hijas en este preschool. Les enseñaron a todas a ir al baño y me ayudo mucho. Las maestras son super amables. Mi hija se queja cuando la recojo temprano porque no se quiere ir. Tienen actividades como yoga, en verano una resbaladilla de agua y aprendido mucho que esté avanzada para cuando entre a kinder. read more

Quality care, above service, caring, educational and lots of activities for each age group. Very happy with them and will continue to recommend them to others.

Sierra Preschool & After School - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Riverside, California

This is the best preschool hands down! My daughter transferred here about a year ago from another preschool in the OC, and she loves it here! The coordinators and instructors are friendly and they develop excellent curriculum for the kids. They provide monthly calendars so parents know what their child will be learning in their class. Ms. Claudia and Ms. Leslie are amazing teachers and my daughter has learned so much in the short time she's been at Sierra Preschool! I enjoy the events and performances the school organizes, and parents are invited to attend! My daughter is starting Kindergarten next year and she will be attending the after-school program here! Sierra Preschool will drop off & pick up my daughter from her elementary school! This is so helpful since me and my hubby both work very far! If you're looking for a great preschool that's affordable, has wonderful staff, and provides enriching curriculum for your child--then you have to visit Sierra Preschool! read more

If I can recommend any preschool/after school care it would be this one. My son started here about a year ago & I can honestly say that I love & appreciate this school & its teachers. They have not only been so helpful with potty training but I've noticed such an amazing improvement in my son's vocabulary & learning skills since he started here. Ms. Melissa & Ms. Martha are also sooo sweet & friendly but that goes for all the teachers at this school. The tuition is also very affordable! read more

Excellent preschool , after School & summer school! A lot of creative & enrichment activities. Good balance between fun & learning. Teachers are dedicated and friendly.

This is an excellent daycare. I have my 3 kids that attend; 1 school age and 2 pre-school. They look forward to going, learning and playing with the other children. They have even made friends that we meet for playdates outside of school. The teachers are very involved and make the children feel welcomed. The daycare is affordable compared to others in the area. They have many activities and do cute projects for each holiday. They are also helpful in potty training which is big for me. I highly recommend this pre-school to anyone considering it. read more

Where to begin?! We have been enrolled at Sierra Preschool for about 4 years. All of our children have gone to Sierra and they're awesome! They give each child attention and love. They work with you on challenging situations as long as you're willing to work with them (one of our children has ODD). The staff is amazing. We love their Christmas shows and the activities they do with the kids. Our kids are always excited to go and happy at pick up! Highly HIGHLY recommend! read more

Edited: My son attended to this school about two years ago and just added my experience from a couple of years ago. I also spoke with Nicole and she was very kind and we had a great talk. I understand there's new staff so this may not be the case today. Thanks for hearing me out. This is just a heads up to a lot of other parents. If your child is not related or in some way "known" to the the teachers or staff then they will not be getting great care. I had my son at this facility for at least a year and I understand separation anxiety but also children know when they are not being treated fairly not sure if it was by the staff or other kids but regardless he would cry each and every time I left him here. There was at least twice I picked him up and his shoes were on the wrong feet. Also parents when looking up schools or daycares please check the community care licensing website. They give you details of there's been any violations or complaints at the facility. read more

I love love this preschool! My daughter has learned so much after she started coming here. She always talks about her friends and how good her teachers are to her. Also, she started counting in Spanish at age 3! They have curriculum all day long and they take 2-hr naps! Im so glad that we chose this school for her! read more

My experience with Sierra Preschool began 6 years ago when my oldest turned 2 and was old enough to start going to preschool- this was the only place that didn't have a weird smell, was colorful and clean, and offered reasonable pricing. Since then, all 3 of my children have attended!! The staff is so friendly, kind, and incredibly patient. There is no better feeling than knowing my kids are safe, happy, learning, and having fun! They bring home cute projects, rave about the delicious foods and snacks, and are always excited on the days they get to go to preschool. The teachers and staff are transparent and communicate very well, but are always readily available and helpful if ever I have any concerns. My daughter came home reciting small sentences and counting in Spanish! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Sierra Preschool, even after all these years. We absolutely love it here!! read more

My son has been attended this school for about 3 months and he seems to enjoy his class and his teacher Ms. Claudia. The place is nice and clean, staffs are friendly, they have many activity for children to learn and play. Fee and tuition are affordable. Thank you everyone for your awesome works :) read more

Where to start. I love this preschool. This place is affordable and wonderful. I have been taking my daughter here since she was in the two's with Ms. Jessie and Ms. Kristine. They were so good with my daughter, they did a lot of fun activities with the kids. They potty trained my daughter. My daughter potty trained late, she stayed in the two's for a while before she moved up. My daughter moved to Ms. Melissa class and she loved it in that class. They always did fun things and she learned a lot from her. My daughter is now in Ms. Claudia's class. She is a nice teacher. The directors Ms, Marlie and Ms. Veronica are so wonderful, they are always very helpful and sweet to my kids. Every time my daughter looses her jacket, they always go out of their way to help find it. I would highly recommend this school if you are looking for a school that treats your kids good and a school where your child will learn so much from. read more

My 2 year old has been going to this pre school since June and we could not have found a more better place to take our daughter for childcare!

My 4 year old son has attended Sierra Preschool since July 2022. This school is great, he has advanced so much with his reading and is doing so well with his sight words. The prices are affordable and the school is in a great location. My son is very comfortable with his teachers and peers. He loves to learn and being able to socialize with other kids on a daily basis. My son has a hard time transitioning to new schools and Sierra Preschool has always been very patient with my son, he loves attending Sierra Preschool. Sierra Preschool always has fun things happening for the kids during holiday season and making sure the kids are not only learning but also having fun while they are in the care of Sierra Preschool. I would definitely recommened to other parents who are looking for childcare in the Riverside area. read more

Sierra Preschool & After School - Santa Day with TK class - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Riverside, California

First time having someone else look after my son, and he loves coming here and he looks forward to coming every day. They have very friendly staff and do lots of activities throughout the week.

Our son did have an adjustment from being at home with mommy all day but once we got over that hump he has flourished!!! The staff here are so friendly my son loves his teachers and classmates and leaves with a smile everyday knowing he will be back... I can't thank the entire staff enough read more

My daughter has been attending Sierra Preschool for 2 years now and She has learned and grown so much in that time. She loves her teachers and the friends that she has made there.I am confident that she will thrive in Kindergarten because of the awesome curriculum the school has for them daily. Working full time I also love that the school provides breakfast, lunch and snacks. I am happy with the staff who is caring about the children's needs and they truly feel like family. My daughter will be in Kindergarten in September but I will continue to take her to Sierra Preschool who will help me drop her off in the morning and pick her up from school. Thank you Sierra Preschool Staff. read more

My son has attended Sierra for 2 years now. It's a safe and fun environment for kiddos! He loves Miss Jay and his other teachers. Shoutout to Ms. Veronica, Ms. Michelle and the Director Ms. Marlie for always being helpful and professional. Thank you for the continuing support with my kiddo! If you have a problem, it doesn't stay unresolved, Ms. Marley is ready in the office to talk it out. Also, staff always greet you and make conversation. Your family would enjoy the school. Activities, learning, and well-being is what Sierra Preschool is all about! read more

I have a love-hate relationship with this school. Ms. Michelle the morning person in the office is rude and lazy. I almost always see her glued to her phone and only greets the parents that she likes. The other lady that works in the office with curly hair never seems to know anything and will always say "let me ask Ms. Marlie" or "I'm not sure" and then there is never any follow-through. Ms. Marlie is the worst of them all, she doesn't address any situation directly. She always seems to be lost and has no idea about anything going on in the school. She talks at you really fast but never resolves anything. There is definitely a lack of communication and manners with the management. Last Friday there was an incident with my child and nobody answered me about why or how it happened. Almost a week later, I have yet to hear why my child came home with marks. This situation really bothered me especially because this is not the first time something like this has happened. I went to the Department of social services to look up there school violations (https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/ licenses are 334818113 and 334818112). I suggest everyone look at this before enrolling their student here. I am definitely looking for another center. The difficult part is leaving the teachers because the ones my child has had are amazing with the children. As well as most of the morning staff. My child loves his teachers and raves about the activities they do in the morning. In the afternoon the school looks like chaos and students bounce around classes very often. They have the older and younger kids mixed together. Way before 5: 30p.m. which is the time Ms. Marlie says they blend. The teachers in the afternoon don't seem to care for the children. read more

My children just started this school last year and they have learned so much since being there! They actually love going everyday! They use to hate going to school before starting here! The staff has been extremely helpful with all of my littles and they are so attentive to their needs. The pay lots of attention to the detail in teaching them and the classrooms are just right for a learning environment! I'm very happy that they are going to preschool here! read more

Awesome place to take your little ones. The care is outstanding and the staff is amazing. I definitely recommend this place.

This is a great preschool and daycare. They've taught my child some spanish & she even sings songs in spanish. They offer numerous fun activities during the summer break. They host great events, graduation, spaghetti dinners, Back to school night. The staff are awesome, friendly & truly love our children. The preschool is very clean & smells good all the time. I feel my child is safe and is thriving while attending this preschool. read more

One of the best schools in the area. Marlie and the other staff are very friendly and open to talk to when it comes to what is needed for our child to learn. Thank you for allowing our child to learn in a safe environment! read more

My son went here for preschool services only and we had a great experience. He was well prepared for kindergarten, no problems with communication, they were flexible, and we had no issues with the other students or with the staff. read more

I am a first time mommy and this will be the first time I am separating my son from family day care to an actually child care center. I would not recommend this place. My tour was, I walked in and I walked out. The rep walked me to the back went over things quickly, showed me outside then led me back to the front to leave. I have been on a lot of tours and this was the most unfriendly to the point were my son wasn't even allowed to roam. Mind you I drove from la county to the inland empire for a 2 minute tour. After an hour drive! Ridiculous. Waste of time and my son could've just relaxed at home. I should've read the bad reviews first. Lesson learned. read more

This preschool is very good，when I was living 92503,my son frank is studing here.teachers are nice and friendly. My son and I miss this school read more

Stinky restrooms. Sugary Cereal every single morning for breakfast, plus limiting the children to drink milk. Several times out of ratio If is there an incident, no written reports for the parents.. accidents reports : just if there is a mark that later parents can see The director seems to be sweet, but is not... read more

I worked there for almost 2 years and my advice is to keep looking. The school is in serious need of more than a few major repairs, including (but not limited to) the toilets used by the preschool children. There are a total of 5 small, child-size toilets and one NEVER worked during the course of my employment, and another one broke about a year into my employment and was never repaired. So that left 3 working toilets for up to 12 small children (with small, infection-prone bladders) to wait their turn to use 1 of the 3 working toilets. Overflowed toilets left a mess on the tile floor that was rarely mopped up by the teachers, as they would frequently claim "not my job". Nails were constantly falling from the toy shelves that divided the rooms. I can name about 3-4 times one of the children in my classroom would bring a 1-2 inch nail to me and tell me they found it by the blocks or cubbies. If you removed the buckets (aka: cubbies) from the shelves, you could see nails sticking out that were used to secure bulletin boards on the opposite side. I thank God none of the younger children never found one or (Heaven forbid) put one in their mouth. The staff may seem friendly and accommodating, but unless you are part of their "Inner Circle", your child will not be given any special treatment. I once had a child in my class that became violent, not just towards me, but also towards the other children. Because the director had known the parent for a long time, it took nearly 2 months to dis-enroll the child, even though the violence was escalating daily and the child had broken several pieces of class furniture and would attack other children at the slightest provocation. It's really sad because this school has a lot of potential. read more

I first enrolled my son at Sierra Preschool when he was 2 years old (2011/2012) and have been referring my friends ever since. The building has its own little parking lot and garden which is really cute. The entry way is gated to keep the little ones out of the parking area, and there is awesome camera and door security. If your little one is a Hudini, they will be in good hands. When you go in, you are greeted by Miss Christi - the director - or one of the other fabulous teachers. Then, there is a short gate to the 5 "classes." The indoor layout is open, so it can get a little louder than closed rooms, but it is so much more inviting and the kids really connect with one another that way. Plus, the younger ones get to see the older kids role model good behavior (yay!). They have a nice outdoor play area also, and an indoor stage where the kids get to showcase their seasonal performances. While in their preschool program, my son was potty trained (practically right away), learned to speak better (complete thoughts), read and write (by the age of 3), and started his math journey (he is now a numbers wiz). They really set the kids up for academic and social success through play, social interaction, and really cute arts and crafts. My son started Kindergarten this past school year, so he no longer attended Sierra Preschool, but I enrolled him right away once summer came around and their summer program was in session. Miss Christi, Miss Michelle, Miss Jessica, Miss Carol, and other familiar faces are still there through the years and my son really enjoys all of the fun activities and events they have planned. I wish his school was in their zone for after school program because I would definitely send him here. The biggest highlights on paper for me are that their hours of availability are 6:00am-6:30pm (full-time/part-time available); they serve breakfast, lunch, and snack (yipee! because I can never get out the door on time in the mornings); and they have pick-up available. Sierra Preschool & After School will always be my number one so long as I am in the Riverside area. P.S. If your kids are older and don't like the word "Preschool," call it "Sierra Summer Program" or "Sierra After School Program." Works like a charm for my 6-year-old "big kid." ;) read more

My granddaughter has been attending this school for 3 years. She has breakfast, lunch and snack there. She also takes a nap. she is currently in PreK. I am amazed at what she is taught. She recognizes words and can read a little bit. I have no complaints. The teachers are amazing. They are all very friendly. My granddaughter loves it there. read more

My son has been going here since the beginning of the month & we love it :) he is always so excited for drop off in the morning. Love that they give you a paper at pick up with a review of their day, great communication with parents. read more

My kids have been attending Sierra Preschool for a year now and they absolutely love it! I was really nervous when I decided to go back to work and had to find child care for my kids. But Sierra has been amazing to my kids. My daughter is now 4 1/2 and can write full sentences. My son who just started kindergarten is great with Math and can read small sentences. They couldn't do any of that when they started going here. And they take great care of the facility. It is always clean and well maintained. I couldn't have picked a better school for my kids to go to. Thank You very much Miss Christy, Miss Z, Miss Casey and the rest of the staff at Sierra Preschool! You have all been so great in teaching and caring for my kids, even when they were difficult to handle. I'll recommend Sierra Preschool to all my family & friends. read more
