Vineyard Montessori

Our family feels so incredibly blessed to have found this preschool! Julie, the owner, is everything you could ever hope for in a preschool leader--honest, caring, full of integrity, and truly invested in the well-being of every child. She has clearly put so much thought and effort into creating a warm, nurturing environment, and it shows in every aspect of the school.The teachers, including the amazing Ms. Jenny, are just as wonderful! It's clear they've been hand-picked, as they are so skilled, attentive, and loving. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and that positivity reflects in how they care for the children. As someone who has worked in childcare myself, I know how important it is for staff to feel supported and happy in their roles, and this team is a shining example of that.Our daughters are so excited to go to school every day, and that peace of mind has been life-changing for our family. My husband is able to focus on school, and I can work, knowing our girls are safe, loved, and thriving. Even when they get the smallest scrape or bump (because kids will be kids!), we're notified right away through the school's app, which gives us such reassurance and makes us feel so connected to what's happening during their day.Beyond the incredible care they receive, we've noticed such sweet changes in our girls' manners and behavior at home. It's so heartwarming to see them practicing the things they've learned at school. Julie and Ms. Jenny are a dream team, and their hard work and passion have truly made this the best preschool in Sacramento and Elk Grove.We are so grateful to be part of this amazing community and can't recommend this preschool highly enough. If you're looking for a place where your children will be loved, nurtured, and given the best possible start, this is it!

This place is amazing!Teachers here really go above and beyond for your children, truly providing excellent quality care. I have had both my children enrolled since November, and they both are thriving. I really love vineyard Montessori. I'm so thankful for all the dedication of the wonderful staff members.

Incredibly disappointed by their lack of communication during the enrollment and waitlist process. A heads up that they will ask you for a deposit for their waitlist and then ghost you after you have paid.As a new parent, I feel like they are taking advantage of the fact that infant care and childcare is so hard to come by in Sacramento.When we took the tour in Oct of 2022 they assured us that we would get in once our baby was a 18 months or if a spot opened up in the infant class. The only time I heard back from them was when I reached out for an update. I have since emailed them asking for our deposit back as they did not follow through and it is evident that there was no intention of our child ever being able to get in. I have heard nothing since.I am including screenshots of the email communication. It's really unfortunate that they are choosing to take advantage of parents and take people's money with no intention to actually provide a service.

Seems like a nice Montessori when we toured it and put a deposit down for the waitlist 9 months ahead so our son can start when he turns 3 for the preschool. Never was contacted for enrollment and lost the deposit. End up enrolling at a different school.

My grandchildren have been attending this preschool for the last few years. I have seen them grow tremendously academically and socially from attending there. I highly recommend them.

Vineyard is one of two Montessori academies our daughter has attended. It is easily the better of the two daycare facilities. While community engagement has taken a hit due to COVID protocols, Vineyard has been intentional and effective with maintaining daily communications (via Brightwheel app and email), community events (via Zoom), online photography (with consent... via IG) and at drop off/pick up. The COVID protocols prioritize the health and safety of the children, staff and families. Vineyard has encouraged and helped facilitate socialization, friendships and playdates outside of school, our daughter has growing friendships and so do we. Vineyard adheres to Montessori practices and we see this reflected in her language, dexterity, attentiveness, creativity, and expression. We couldn't be more pleased.

I am currently in the process of moving to Sacramento and had begun my research for daycares in the area for both of my sons,, ages 3 and 18 months. I reached out to the school and received an email stating that currently there were only openings for my 3 year old and a waiting list for my 18 month old. I was excited and set up a tour. The tour unfortunately was going to be a month a way, about a week from when we actually were going to move. I receive an email stating all the spots had been filled for 3 year Olds as well. This put me and my family in a terrible position as I was planning on my son to be enrolled after the tour. The school should have informed me that there are several other applicants in the queue for tours and there is a great chance this spot will be filled by the time my tour came around. I felt this school's offers no transparency and misleads families. Communication doesn't seem to be a strong point for the administrators of this school. I am no left in a position to scramble and enroll my son in an alternate daycare. With two deaths in my family recently, juggling all this is mentally impossible. This school really let this mourning mother down. What a shame! Hopefully future families don't make the same mistake I did. I really wish they would have been more transparent in telling me that their were other kids waiting for the same spot, just like they had no problem mentioning the waitlist for my 18 month old. I am in tears now wondering what am I going to do and will I be able to find care for my son in such a short turn around time. There is no empathy from the administrators as to the position they have put me in. This school is a great disappointment along with it's administrators.

I looked at quite a few daycares all over Sacramento and was beginning to get a little frustrated. They all were lacking everything I wanted for my daughter. But then the clouds parted and I finally found this little gem of a school. To say I was impressed is an understatement. I never even considered a Montessori school before my tour, but I now think this is a perfect fit for my curious 15 month old. The classrooms are not only new but clean and organized. The staff is caring and have been helping my daughter transition into a learning environment away from home. I would definitely recommend Vineyard Montessori to anyone looking for daycare.

This review is long overdue, I just can't say enough great things about Vineyard Montessori. Hands down the best school!The teachers are amazing multiplied by 1000! They truly care, nurture, and love the kids. They provide a calm and safe environment and maintain a well kept organized classroom. It takes a special person to teach this age group and they do a fantastic job. The curriculum is phenomenal, touching base on several different aspects. The daily jobs kept my son engaged and challenged while learning essential life skills along the way.Vineyard Montessori, you will always hold a special place in my heart; thank you for helping my son grow. I couldn't have asked for a better school/teachers to help build the foundation. He has learned so much here!

Vineyard Montessori is a wonderful school with phenomenal staff who truly understand children, foster learning, and support all families. As a mother of three, I have had one graduate and move on after completing the preschool and kinder programs. My other two will continue to go through Vineyard until they age out as well. Vineyard has fostered my children's independence, taught them how to navigate socially, and covered academic subjects thoroughly. My oldest is the top of her class in public schooling now and I credit Vineyard for facilitating the learning experience in a fun and effective way that catered to her learning styles. I truly believe this school sets the bar for Montessori, if you tour other schools, you will see that not all Montessori schools are this amazing.
