I have two boys currently enrolled at Merryhill (Rocklin), ages 2 and 4. Our boys have been…read moreattending this school for the past 8 months, after we relocated our family from Southern California to Rocklin. My boys had both been with a private nanny their entire lives - and we were extremely nervous about transitioning them away from private home care and into a school environment. The Merryhill team was fantastic and so supportive during the transition. My youngest especially had a difficult time with the transition. The teachers were so patient and kind with his crying at drop off - and would provide us updates on how he was doing via the school app. I also really like how they have big windows into each classroom; I am able to watch my boys and see how happy they are in their classroom before they notice I am there to pick them up. Both of my boys absolutely adore their teachers (Ms. Lindsey, Ms. Liz, Ms. Nicole, and Ms. CeCe) and look forward to seeing their friends every day. Beyond my boys being comfortable and happy - they have also learned so much in their time at Merryhill. Nearly every day I'm surprised by something new they've learned - like my 4 year old learning how to count up to 100, count in tens, learning the months of the year, and starting to read. My youngest learns new words every day, has learned his colors, how to count to ten, and is learning important social skills (like how to share). We feel very fortunate to have found this school and have already re-enrolled them both for next year.

Our son has been going here for 8 months and he absolutely loves it. His teachers are amazing (Ms…read moreLindsey and Ms Patricia) and the staff is phenomenal. We couldn't be happier with this school and how it's run. I highly recommend Merryhill.

Moved to area end of the school year / start of summer and to be honest was worried about kiddo…read more(4yrs old) settling in and being comfortable at a new school. "Application" process was easy and I did a virtual tour via FaceTime with Millie (one of the owners). She was super calm and answered every single question I had & showed me every nook and cranny or the school and where kiddo was going to be. PK2 here we come! 1st day I don't think it ever gets easier sending your kiddo to a new school. Kiddo was a touch apprehensive of a new environment but Teacher Nikki was so incredibly warm and welcoming to kiddo (and hubs and I)! Immediately I knew he was going to be just fine. We met Teacher Monique the next day or so - they coteach PK2 - and she's a gem. Both teachers are warm & caring (like aunties) and their love for teaching shines through! The classroom Together Monique & Nikki have created a thriving classroom full of areas to explore with defined spaces & boundaries. There a reading circle, pet fish, reading pod, and then nap mats for the kiddos to use after lunch before afternoon activities. If the kids don't nap they do have the option to read/look at books quietly. The PK2 classroom has two restrooms with kiddo sized toilets and sinks. Each season brings new decorations to the classroom (and school). There are days when kiddo is having a rough morning and both Teacher Nikki and Teacher Monique are angels getting him into class quickly, settled and then sharing with us that he's ok which I so appreciate because there's nothing worse than leaving your kiddo in tears! The school overall Goddard does a host of extra activities- summer bbq, Father's Day celebration, Trunk-or-Treat, holiday concert to name a few. Each brings the Goodard teachers & families together in a special way, along all to get to know each other a little better, enabling us partner for our kid's. Goddard is a pretty special place. One that is developing our kid in an amazing way and preparing him for kindergarten!

I have been here four seperate times in two weeks. What I had noticed as a subbing teacher is the…read moredirty classrooms with exception to the Infant room and the room past the preschool on the left hand side of the building. All of the rooms require a deep cleaning of the furniture, the walls and the doors. The toys also needed to be cleaned. Dirt and filth covered the shelving units, with blotches of paint and stuck on food particles. The walls in some rooms need to be fixed because of large gouges. The mess on top of the cabinets are disgraceful. There is food up there with just garbage thrown up there. With some rooms it smells like the smell of poverty. Stink! There are rooms that have a wall clock. Then there are rooms that have a wall clock, but it's nonfunctional, meaning that no one has the mental acuity to place a new battery in it. So when I discovered this error I was late checking out of Goddard. I was told that I needed to clock out, but to ask Ms. Angie (director of operations and proficient gossiper). Ms. Angie admitted to me three times that it was an error on their part, but she still blamed me. This is a woman who refused me from having a small shoulder bag with my inhaler in it and my cough drops. I told her that I had asthma and I also suffered from seasonal allergies. She said that I could call her if I needed it. I am not carrying a cell phone with me into the classrooms. I do not know how to use the multi-line phone. So she is going to take away my ability to take care of myself. She did allow me to have my water bottle with me. But you know what I need my cough drops and I took those in my pocket. This is a far cry from my not following direction. This is a far cry from covering my ears because a child's scream pierced my eardrums. Ms. Angie has accused me of "sneaking up on her" when her back is towards the opening of the office door. Ms. Tracey has told Ms. Angie to tell me "where to go." Ms. Tracey thought that was a funny innuendo. Ms. Angie told her that that wasn't nice. That wasn't nice. The women who have worked in the office for a long time camouflage themselves behind the arrogance and unprofessional conduct of what junior high school girls would act like. There are some really good teachers who manage the classrooms. I have had the privilege of working with them. But Ms. Angie with her misaligned emotional immaturity rescinded me from returning. What that means to me is that she holds temps at a higher standard than she does her own staff.

My daughter currently attends daycare full-time here as well. The Director, teachers and staff truly care about the development and safety for the kids. They teach them academics while having a lot of fun. As a working mom, I never have to worry about my kids. I know they are in great hands and the best part is they don't want to leave! They love this school, which relieves a lot of stress for us parents. It feels great knowing our kids thrive here!

I explained I already had one scheduled and received a confirmation email. The director said "okay see you then" and hung up. I ended up needing to cancel the tour and replied via email that I needed to cancel (as the email instructed) and stated I would contact the school when I needed to reschedule. I've received phone calls almost everyday for the last 2 weeks asking to reschedule and every time I've answered I've explained and made it explicitly clear that I would call to reschedule and they did not need to call me so frequently. I've started letting their phone calls go to voicemail.

My kids are constantly asking when their next school break is because the idea of them getting a week with their friends at KC is a total highlight for them. We are at a stage in our kids life where they could spend their summers doing different camps and trying new things, but every year it's the same answer: they'd rather be at Rocklin KC. The staff here makes it so enjoyable for these kids that being there is more fun than anywhere else. Even the food is great (trust me, I know. Mr Chris saves me leftovers). I 100% recommend this place to any family looking for a place filled with added family. Ms Denise is everything you'd want in a leader, Ms Kym taught my kids the love of science, Ms Justina taught my kids patience and respect, and Ms Lizzy is a shining light. Mr Chris will always be my number chef and Ms Sammy will always be my kids go-to for fun. I can go on and on about the wonderful teachers and staff at Rocklin KC - because honestly, everything about this place has been wonderful for my family.

The 2 yr class is tightly packed with the minimum space I have seen as compared to other places. The staff isn't accommodating at all and they want to optimize their profits without caring about kids.

Ari comes home every day glowing with excitement. If you're considering this place, rest assured Rocklin Ranch will be an excellent choice for your child!

My son attended this school for about 6 months, starting at age 21 months. We had just moved cross…read morecountry and were dealing with a lot--unpacking, adjusting, husband starting a new job, etc. We have an older son who was going into 1st at the time. Rocklin Ranch accepted our son, but had us ramp into a full day care very slowly. Like an hour a day at first. I've never had this experience--neither of my 2 boys ever had such a slow transition period across 3 other day care programs between them. This was frustrating as I my husband and I work full time and paid for full time care but the director, Aman, kept saying he wasn't ready. He was crying too much and it was disrupting other kids. Once he was adjusted things seemed to be going fine, with some comments about rowdy behavior or getting up during circle time from his teachers. We said we'd work on it and both sides acknowledged is was developmentally normal but something to work on at school. His teachers seemed fine working with him on this, but the director, Aman, constantly talked about how disruptive he was. My son was put on probabtion by the director despite a good parent teacher conference. In fact, his teachers were incredibly good natured about my son's "disruptive" behavior and we even shared a laugh over one of the more ridiculous things he did. We would check in all the time and his teachers reiterated to us that he was rambunctious but normal, one teacher said he was just like her nephew and she knew how to work with a kid with his temperament. But then, when this teacher was out of town ... and my son acted up a little cause his favorite teacher wasn't there ... the director, Aman, called and told us he was being kicked out and we had something like 2 weeks to find other care. Not only was this really disruptive for everyone, it was just sad. My perfectly normal toddler was acting like a toddler and was rejected from a school for doing so. It was definitely for the best--he went to another school and thrived and we all made good friends there. But I will never forget how bad this experience was with Rocklin Ranch and I will let anyone I know considering that school not to go there.

Our story is a bit unique when it comes to Grammy's Playhouse. We have twin girls and tried to send…read morethem to Grammy's shortly after their 2nd birthday. Prior to their first day, Grammy had us over to the preschool a few times, free of charge, to just spend time and try to get the girls comfortable for the transition. We cautiously hoped they were ready and gave it a shot. After the first official week, with tears in both of our eyes, Grammy and I agreed that one of our twins just wasn't ready. We waited another 6 months and again, Grammy gave much of her time allowing us to come 2-3 times on her days off to allow the twins to adapt to the preschool environment without all of the other kids. It took a couple of weeks but before we knew it, our girls were thriving. Grammy was so gentle with both our children and our mama hearts during this time. I think you can look at the website and instagram to get a feel of the type of curriculum and style Grammy has, but I want to speak about Grammys heart and passion she has for helping each of her students grow and succeed. She is dedicated to her kids, spends countless hours "off the clock" planning, organizing, attending birthdays, creating care packages, hosting events, all for the kids and their families who are lucky enough to be a part of Grammys circle. She truly cares and is gentle and soft and understanding. My daughters, who used to be terrified to step through the doors, now love going to Grammys and can't wait to tell me everything they learned and all the friends they have. The pure joy I have seeing pictures of them learning, playing, creating, THRIVING. I've never felt so proud. Grammy has been such a blessing to our family and I couldn't recommend her enough.
