"Merryhill has been absolutely wonderful for our family. Both of my children have attended the school, and both of them love the school and their teachers. In the almost two years that we've been sending our kids there, we've loved the professionalism and communication from the teachers and the school. We love receiving photos of the kids throughout the day, and we receive regular progress reports on how our kids are doing. From a safety standpoint, I appreciate how proactive Merryhill has been. One of my children has a peanut allergy, and they keep his epi-pen in his classroom with his picture and an icon of what he's allergic to eating. Another part of why we like Merryhill so much is the staff. The teachers and administrators are EXCELLENT. We've had nothing but positive experiences, and my oldest who now goes to another school for kindergarten still runs in and hugs her teacher when we pick up my youngest. On the note of my oldest, she was very prepared for kindergarten. She graduated from Merryhill knowing her letters (almost all upper and lower case) and she was great at counting all the way up to 30 (recognizing many of the numbers as well). She also knew many sight words too!Overall, we've been so happy with Merryhill, and we'd highly recommend it to anyone."
"After sending our daughter to another school, where she had a bad experience, we decided to send her to the Tracy Learning Center. She has been going to TLC since January 4, 2016 and we have seen a remarkable difference in her. They not only challenge the children academically but also instill social skills. Our daughter is interacting with people and other children more now and learning other subjects appropriately. Every morning she wakes up with excitement because she love going there. That is an indication that she receives a loving and a caring atmosphere from the teachers there. If you have a young one, then I would give TLC a try and see the difference in your child."
"Our almost 3 year old son loves Learning and Playing Preschool so much he doesn't want to leave at pickup! The teachers have been amazing and so accommodating with our son. He had little to no contact with his peers for a year and a half due to Covid and they have been patient and understanding. It is a play based environment and my son loves the backyard!"
"Maestra Yaneldis was assistant director at our daughter's pre-school. We got a chance to get to know her and she has shown herself to be a responsible caretaker who is warm with children. She is responsive to parents and has worked with young children for many years. Our daughter loved her. I can recommend her care highly."
"My husband and I were looking at a couple montessori schools in the area, but we knew since our virtual tour with Ms. Pinkee that GVM was the school we wanted to enroll our daughter in. She was ready with such informative answers for the whole list of questions we had and she was very communicative throughout the enrollment process. When my daughter did so well at her first child observation, this just confirmed that she chose this school herself too :) The enrollment process was very smooth and we were able to get her started the following week after her class observation. Since going to GVM, we can already see what a positive impact it has made on our daughter. We had her right before the pandemic so she hasn't socialized as much as should have been(another reason why we wanted her to start going to school) and after a couple of days, we got an update from the teachers that she has started playing with the other kids. It was just a relief to hear she's having fun and interacting with other kids. The teachers were also sensitive to her eczema when she started, asking us if there is a cream she uses since the kids wash their hands very often and my daughter has shown us how they've taught her how to calm down for nap time. I would 100% recommend enrolling your child here if you're looking for a good montessori school in the area. Looking forward to enrolling my son here when he is of age as well :)"
"A very good enviroment for children!!!! The teachers are careing and encourageing! Our son has been there since preschool and is currently still attending. Year after year I have seen such positive influences being made to our son!!!! Academically he is being prepared for his future and spiritually he is growing all in thanks to the great teachers and principal at this school!!! You are part of a family here and not just a student! I really appreciate their online student management (Sycamore Education) this helps you stay in contact with the staff and keeps you on track with your child's weekly assignments. I highly recommend this school for future parents!!! You won't be disappointed!!!"
"Still the best of the best preschool around. As a parent with a degree in early child education this is everything I hoped for and wanted for my child. Not only that but this school came highly recommended from not only parents but professors in the field of ECE. My daughter was happy and excited to go to school each day and loved her teachers. We will miss the teachers the classroom and the friends that we meet at the school!! Ms.Barb & Ms.Mel are simply THE BEST."
"Parents searching for a good preschool/day care in Stockton - NewDay is one of your better options in town. Our son attended since he was 2 years old and in his time there I can't recall a single bad experience.The teachers keep the kids on task during class time and have their agenda's posted for parents to see every week. The staff here are all excellent with the kids. It's nice that staff are available for early drop off and late pick up and the kids are kept busy with activities - not just running around the entire time ready to have a meltdown when you finally show up after your work day.The outside play area is large, well kept, and has a huge shade tree which makes all the difference during summer.There is some bible time each week, but the church aspect is not pushed on the kids toooo hard - in fact we're atheists but don't mind our kids having some exposure to religion... when they're old enough they can make their own decisions about it. I don't think their Mom or I have ever been asked about attending church there. I'm sure they're blissfully unaware of our atheist beliefs :)Pricing is *very* fair (better than many other options in town) although there are some mandatory "fund raisers" a couple times a year, but nothing extreme and it's always something for your money. We had our choice to go to another highly regarded school in Stockton, we liked what we saw at NewDay and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did. NewDay deserves much more praise here."
"Absolutely Amazing! This place has been absolutely wonderful to my son, it was had to find a new school after because they set the bar so high. The staff will be truly missed. I want to Thank every one of the staff / teachers who had an amazing impact on my child's life. He has came home everyday and has told me new things he's learned / happy stories he will have as memories. He had a great kick start to his education because of you. Thank you."
"I can't express how much we highly recommend TLC Monticello. This is our son's first "school" environment since he had been at in-home daycares since he was an infant. It was a smooth transition with no hiccups. Additionally, we were new to Tracy so we were very selective on the preschool for Kam. We are so glad we did the due diligence to research, tour, and meet the teachers beforehand. We absolutely adore the care that Ms Heather, Ms Cole, and Ms Emma provide. Not to mention, our son looks forward to going to school everyday!"
"We've been utilizing their summer program and part-time Daycare for some time now and have been thoroughly happy with our experience with La Petite. The staff is wonderful. I appreciate the cameras and photos sent via the app. We've had nothing but a great experience."
"When we moved to this area we literally toured 10+ preschools to see which one would best suite my son's needs. Majority of the schools we looked at were more like daycare/preschool combo. During our tour with Little Cookie, it was evident that Ms Mercedez was a good teacher and that her curriculum would prepare my child for kindergarten. She was the ONLY preschool that gave me a hand book, and printed materials such as what the typical day would look, monthly themes, her background etc. We went with this school and I have no regrets. My child is thriving and learning and he is excited to go to school during school days. Ms Mercedez reports to me throughout the day and sends photos to update me on how my child is doing. I am beyond thankful I found this preschool and highly recommend it!"

Our son has been attending this school for a little under a year and he loves it!! The teachers are friendly, the communication is great and he is so ready for kindergarten. We would definitely recommend this school. So many awesome memories created here.

I sent my kid to Miss Ana and Miss Danielle for over an year and he used to love going to their place. My kid is very shy and took care of him well. They have many activities designed for kids and mine used to love them. Definitely recommend this place!!

Both of my kids got amazing care from Maestra Yaneldis when they were in preschool. She was warm and fair, and really understood what made each child unique. The feedback and assessment of each of my kids at age 3 and 4 are still spot on today at ages 8 and 10. She really sees each child for who they are. And she had them fluent in Spanish! She was also the directors, right hand, helping with administration, and ensuring communication to parents was thorough and clear.

Global Village Montessori is a phenomenal child care provider. I've taught students for thirteen years and immediately recognized that this is the best option in town. It's such a relief to know that my child is in the hands of caring and supporting staff. The kids get to do art projects as well as reading and science activities. They saw butterflies grow, and did an experiment on cloud formations. GVM also holds holiday parties, cultural fairs and even has its own yearbook. My daughter has learned and matured so much from the past year. I also received daily reports that noted what activities she learned and what time she took a nap and how much she ate. I'm very happy with my experiences here.

We were new to Century this last year and have been very happy with our choice. The teacher student ratio is fantastic! The individual attention our kids receive is making a big difference in their education. The staff is cheerful and they really enjoy and care about each child. After carefully looking at the other schools in Lodi we decided that the teachers at Century exceeded the observed ability of teachers at similar local schools.

We love CMNS! Our oldest daughter is currently in her last year here (the 4's program). We started her in the 2's program and have loved each year. All of the teachers are great. The playground is age appropriate and our daughter has learned so much these past three years. They work on such fun projects each day. The kids are given jobs and weekly homework in the 4's class and our daughter loves it. They also offer after school care which is great - more time for kids to play outside and work on more projects. Our youngest daughter will start the 2's class this fall and I know she will love it. I can't recommend this school enough. The prices are extremely reasonable too.

Two of our three kids attended Newday, and if it weren't for our recent move away from Stockton, all three would have been alums. We love Miss Becky and Miss Lori. And they love our kids. My kids remind us to pray before meals as they learned in school and that is worth so much. They always come home happy with beautiful projects. 2010's summer session was quite different from a few years ago, not as pleased with it this time, but my daughter still had fun.

"I've been taking my kids to Merryhill Calvine Preschool for two years. During our time here, I've only come to appreciate and enjoy what the preschool program here has to offer. From the front staff to individual teachers, this preschool embodies the structuted learning environment and nuturing environment that Merryhill is striving for.I've had my children at multiple Merryhill schools so I've seen a quite a few of the schools in the Elk Grove area. Starting with the front staff, I have had nothing but friendly interactions with the staff and they are great resources to use if you are having issues. During our time here we've had some minor issues but they have always been accommodating. Especially now in the covid restrictions, interactions have been very courteous and the front staff are doing quite a bit to make sure the kids are safe. I like that we have been kept informed throughout the process.I don't get to see the teachers much anymore but prior to Covid my son had specific teachers that I got to know and who were very attentive and communicated any issues or concerns with us when we dropped off or picked up our children. The teachers that teach kids are really the backbone of the preschool and so far I have felt good about all the teachers that have taken care of my kids.Moving on to the environment, the school is located off a busy street on Calvine which is not ideal but the school is enclosed and the teachers seem to be pretty attentive to the kids as they play outside. This is something that really is out of their control do despite the busy street off Calvine I don't have too much other issues with location. It's important to watch for drivers driving into the parking lot but I haven't seen anything really dangerous beyond people not as attentive at the exit. The only other issue I found regarding location is they the building is older than some of the other Merryhill locations, this isn't really bad and they have updated some areas such as the kids play areas.Moving on to some of the issues, we've had some issues with the communication apps that Merryhill had used and we've communicated this to office but it doesn't seem like they have a way to fix it and it might be something organizational. Also considering the location and size it seems slightly pricy but I still think it's worth the value as Merryhill has a structured learning environment better than most. I live closest to this location but at times I have considered others due to the quality of facilities. The prices seem relatively the same but there can be disparities such as with other locations like Merryhill Midtown.Despite this I believe the positives greatly outweigh the negatives of this place and I highly recommend this location to those that live nearby. The teachers in the individual classrooms really are the spotlight and during this pandemic they have been seemingly good at following precautions to prevent the spread"
"I have three children that began Bella Vista from kindergarten. They love the caring environment that reinforces respect and Christian values and lessons. The teachers so far have always given me the opportunity to volunteer and get a pulse on how well my children are doing. If you are in Tracy and want the best for your child I can't see many better options than Bella Vista Christian Academy."
"Heritage is not just childcare. The program implements best practices in child development. It is difficult to find any preschool program in our area that offers an advanced curriculum for both academic and social emotional growth. Heritage takes a whole child approach to learning and encourages children to explore. My son is tired and happy at the end of the school day. He never liked preschool until we sent him to Heritage, now he can't wait."
"La Petite Academy of Elk Grove - 5 StarsFormer employee, colleague, mentor, and pillar to my community. I started in the school-age program working with Mr. Kyle. Mr. Kyle has accrued experience working in child care for years. He brings a fierce spirit, intellectual mindset, and charismatic attitude to young children in the space. We collaborated in the school-age classroom working off our strong skillsets and helping each other grow in other areas. The children are the heart of our work. They learn through play and build social skills with their peers. In addition, children create activities where Mr. Kyle and I implement classroom wide. Later in program, I transitioned over to early preschool. I worked in tandem with Ms. Tay. Her knowledge of early childhood, charismatic attitude, and bright mind is unparalleled. At this age group, children's brain are similar to a sponge where they are learning, attaining knowledge through play, social interaction and developing essential skills which will lay the foundation for their future success. Children are on different wavelengths. It's important to be mindful that children learn at different rates. Be patient, resourceful, and practical. We as teachers understand this and strive to serve children on all wavelengths regardless of time. I am thankful to have worked with Ms. Tay. Ms. Tay always remember you are a pillar to our community and your hard work goes above and beyond. Ashley Sanchez, current director is an intelligent, savvy, and professional leader in the school. She maintains focus, attention to detail, and is a true pillar to our community. She has cultivated strong relationships with teachers and all staff who work for the program school-wide. Furthermore, she has cultured respected relationships with families in our community. The program continues to enroll children of all ages and she works with families to bring excellent services. I respect Ms. Sanchez for her sheer efforts and unwavering spirit. Thank you for all the work you do for families, and teachers. Halley Wegner is the Assistant Director. Her resumé speaks for itself. She has been working in child care for 10+ years. She is knowledgeable, approachable, and respected by her fellow colleagues. Her passion for children is beautiful and illustrated school-wide. She was my mentor during my time at La Petite. She pushed me to strive for excellence, excel as a teacher, and stay true for my love of Education. She works hard in office, and puts in work behind the scenes away at home. I love her spirit, kind heart, and professional attitude. Her skill set is unmatched. She typically is in charge of tours in school. Please be courteous when scheduling a tour. If you plan on canceling a tour, please do so 24 hours in advance. This allows the program to reach out to other families who are interested in enrolling their child or children, and provides flexibility to do other tasks school-wide. Thank you!Ms. Megan is an outstanding chef at La Petite. She brings years of experience working as a chef in the Education sector. Her bubbly personality, keen awareness, passion to do good by children, and tenacious spirit is unmatched. As a former employee, we as teachers recognize how infectious her spirit is and how it "impacts" the school. She deserves whole credit, and recognition for the hard work she puts forth day in and day out. She's one of the backbones of the school and her work is highly recognized throughout the region. As a former bus driver, we do provide bus services to Irene B. West. and Barbara Comstock elementary schools. We provide drop offs in the morning, afternoon, and after school hours. If you have questions, please reach out to Ms. Ashley Sanchez or Halley Wegner. Families please utilize Sprout About. This is a free app you can download to your mobile device. These are real time updates. Plus, you'll also have secure access to live streaming video to see your child in action, anytime! In addition teachers upload meal service information, potty breaks, and activities whole day with photos of your respected child or children. Overall, La Petite here in Elk Grove is a wonderful program to enroll your scholar or scholars. Reach out to Ashley Sanchez or Halley Wegner to schedule a tour. For more information please check online and call ahead. Thank you.The program, children, and staff will hold a special place in my heart for life. 2025 & beyond."
"My son attends the preschool and we couldn't be more pleased! Ms. Tiffany, Ms. Leticia and Shana make you feel at home! The chapel service on Wednesdays is fun and entertaining. Keeps students engaged. We found our home school!"
"I actually volunteered at this place my senior year for my government class cause we had to do community service as part of our grade. I never went to preschool here but the lady that runs this place knows all my cousins that went here a long time ago. Everyone that works here is so nice and hopefully one day will take my children here to attend preschool."
"My youngest went to preschool at WVCA and that still stays as a great memory for me. The staff has been excellent thru the years and I know many families that have put their children all the e way through school there. I give my e-credits via food from groceries and restaurants to them. Great job Tim & Teresa!"
"I was very hesitant to enroll my son here (or anywhere), since he's only even been at home with us. They accept children 2 and older so we decided to enroll right after turning two. Ms. Daisy is the teacher for this group and she is incredible. My son absolutely adores her and even on weekends, asks to go see her. The first few days were rough. My son cried for me and didn't eat much. I contemplated removing him but so glad we stuck it through. After just one month of being enrolled we saw a huge improvement in social skills and speech.I read a few reviews about the tour/director, here is my observation:We toured the school and like a few others said, the tour felt a little awkward. In my opinion, it's just that. Mrs. Eva, the director, is reserved and quiet but very well mannered and seems to be liked by the children. We've had zero issues with her or the school. I wouldn't choose against this school because of the tour. To me, the most important thing is that my son enjoys going here and continues to grow and he's doing just that 2 years later. Cost: it's a private school and fees aren't outrageous, I've seen at-home daycares cost the same or more."
"I've been touring places with my family and friends since I work in early childcare. We went here once last year and it was a terrible mess. Nobody knew what the other was doing. Took 15 minutes to get someone to answer the door. Parking was terrible. Anyways, on to the present time! The staff was knowledgeable, kind and seemed to love their job. The place had SO MUCH potential and even the before and after already is amazing. The place is definitely unique and you should definitely check it out. Not sure where my friend will be enrolling yet but if she chooses one near her job I recommend the campus!"
"While searching for schools for my two year old, I only had two schools in mind montessori and merryhill. I couldn't decide which one was the best fit for my daughter. During merryhill open day, my husband and I were impressed talking with stephanie gill regarding the schools curriculum and structure. My main focus was discipline, learning Spanish and social interaction with peers. Teachers: We drop off my daughter at 6.30am and Miss Nina is there to take care of her until 7am. She's very sweet and caring. She comforts my daughter whenever she cries. Around 7am she takes my daughter to her classroom which is the beginner stage 2. In August, her teacher changed to Miss yasmeen. Miss yasmeen is the sweetest person. In a short span of time, she has won my daughter's heart. She is my daughter's favorite teacher. All she talks about is Miss yasmeen at home. when she's naughty at home, we always tell her that tomorrow we'll tell Miss yasmeen. She'll always say no mommy. She does not want to disappoint her teacher. Food: I love the fact kids get to explore variety of food during breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack time. Reports : we enjoy receiving daily reports with my daughter's pictures and activities she's doing at school. Currently, we've been trying to do potty training and Merryhill helps kids. And they send report on her potty activity. We enjoy sending our daughter here."
"Snell's is amazing. The teachers are all wonderful and very attentive. My daughter went here for Pre-k and she enjoyed going to school every day. I cannot say enough good things about Snell's!!"
"If you are good with your child contracting hoof and mouth, head lice, getting bit by other kids and have repeated diaper rashes all within a few months, then this place is a great place to take your child."
"Our first daughter transitioned to Parvin's just before 3 years old and attended from preschool through kindergarten ... When we had our second we anxiously awaited her second birthday so she would be able to attend as well... she has now turned four and both my girls most days would rather be hanging out at school with their friends and their teachers then at home with boring mom LOL... Parvin, Fatima and every other teacher/team member at this school has become true family more than anything else. They have seen us through transitions, the special days, the hard days, and the amazing ones. We have gotten to share every birthday and even my second daughter's adoption. You will not find a more special or dedicated group of people... They give everything that they have to making sure that the children have what they need and are happy, healthy, and are given every opportunity to grow and learn. They have taken every necessitated change during the current pandemic and implemented it in a way that not only are the adaptations satisfied but the children don't feel so scared or overwhelmed by all that is going on. Our youngest even missed the first day of preschool because she wasn't feeling well and the teachers went back just to do the first day project with her just so she would be able to bring it home and have it like everyone else. We love you all... You are the real depiction of what true heart and dedication look like"
"Vinewood Preschool is one of the best preschool programs in the area. It is one of the few that has some California credentialed teachers and it shows in the amount of effort they put into the curriculum. Vinewood is not simply daycare, but a place where the children learn valuable lessons and are prepared to enter the Kindergarten classroom. Both of our children went there and I was thoroughly impressed with the balance of structure and letting the children have fun. They cultivate the young minds to find fun while at school, but carefully groom the children to also follow rules. Mine always looked forward to their time at school. My wife, an elementary teacher who is very critical, always had praise for the preschool.I'm not sure about the other comment on here from Christina. I don't know how she could miss all the artwork and goodies the children brought home everyday. I cannot remember a day my kids did not come home gleaming ear to ear about some thing they made that day. Then again, she did say that her child had behavior problems and maybe he could not do the art projects. Overall, this does not reflect poorly on the school. I know that all children are a little different in their development and some are just not ready. Our boy benefitted from an extra year prior to Kindergarten. I would suggest Vinewood preschool to anyone looking for a Christian Preschool. They are kind and have a great program there. You should not take my word for it though. We went and checked the place out before we enrolled our children and I would suggest anyone else do the same. Be forewarned though--go a year or two early to check it out. They are so good and have such a great reputation that they are many times booked solid years in advance."
"My son and daughter both attended Merryhill (at different times) from June 2022-January 2024. We experienced the Infant Room, Toddler B Room, and Beginner A Room. I learned almost of this information after my son had left and I pulled my daughter as soon as I found out. There is a lot of information here but if you're short on time, please know that this school currently employees one teacher who abused an infant -- there is a video of Ms. Megan aggressively "placing" an infant onto a Boppy pillow on the floor. Both licensing and corporate are aware of this issue and the school was given a citation for the incident. However, Ms. Megan still works at Merryhill. My daughter was in the infant room when this happened (in August 2023) but I did not learn about it until the end of December 2023.I personally heard Ms. Megan aggressively yelling at children outside on the playground for seemingly no good reason (no safety issues, etc.). My son also told me that she yelled at him, covered his head with a blanket, and took his blanket because he was being "too loud." He's three so take that with a grain of salt but he said many concerning things about Merryhill and specifically Ms. Megan (mostly after we pulled him). I personally witnessed other concerning things in the Intermediate Room, which I passed by everyday on the way to drop off or pickup my kids. Teachers Malika and Teara were often yelling, speaking harshly, and using aggressive body language. I have heard that Ms. Malika has a reputation for pinching children - current and former teachers said this but I didn't see it personally. The intermediate room teachers received a citation for "wrapping" up a three year old in a blanket at naptime. Further, the school has a policy against time out but the intermediate room teachers sometimes make children stand in front of the "blue wall" in the classroom to get around the no time out policy. I personally saw Ms. Teara aggressively use her body to block a sobbing toddler girl at the blue wall in the classroom. While my son was at Merryhill he said he was "scared of the blue wall." I was devastated to learn all of this because there are some wonderful teachers at the school. Ms. Arrianna in the Beginner room, Ms. LaBrea and Ms. Naomi in the toddler room, and Ms. Sophie, Ms. Jenny, and Ms. Rakaisha in the infant room are all kind and caring people.Ultimately, we pulled both of my children because we did not feel that they were safe at Merryhill and we were disappointed in the lack of quality control for teachers. If you're considering Merryhill, PLEASE check the California Department of Social Services Childcare Licensing website and look at all of the complaints and citations. They paint quite a picture of Merryhill.Update - the school was recently cited and penalized because a child got out of the playground gate and was found by strangers wandering around the parking lot. This new citation is also available on the licensing department's website."
"Gymboree has been a real boost in physical and social development for our daughter, who began attending at 1.5 years of age. Ms. Stephanie is our daughters go-to! She now walks in, removes her shoes and hurries to the circle mat for the intro circle time, to see what her teacher has to share. All the staff as SO sweet, feels genuine and parents can be friendly. Our daughter is almost 2 and yells "bo-ree, bor-ee!" When we are near Lakeshore or when asked if she wants to join a class for that day. She even sings the songs and looks for Gymbo at home, and don't get me started on the parachute but she never wants us to stop! It really means something to us to see our child light up for something that benefits her in numerous ways. - 1st class is a free trail, don't be shy - mingle! - Nice bi-weekly rotation of developmentally appropriate play structures- Very clean! I've seen teachers clean between classes - Pretty inclusive child demographic- Focus group-time is short, maximizing children's open play time - Teachers know children's names and temperaments- Activities are challenging but child orients their experience with adult support - Weekly mixed-age class has art and open playWe are really grateful to the Gymboree teachers and for our great experience. See you there! :)"
"This is an amazing preschool/daycare facility. The staff are awesome and cared about my daughter even through her seperarion anxiety from me. They we understanding and helpful. My daughter spent 2 year here and she absolutely loved everyone. They are open from 6:45-6:00 so this allowed me to take many college courses while my husband worked. It is nice to have a place that you can trust to take your children to. I would recogmended this facility to everyone. Very happy to call the staff at the Learning Tree friends."
"KinderCare Stockton has been apart of our family for over 15 years. They are absolutely AMAZING teachers and staff. Cleaniness & safety is their highest priority. They have grown with our children and have become like family. If you are hesitant about childcare, KinderCare is the BEST in town. This is not any typical daycare. My children come home learn new things everyday. You can keep up with their daily activities with photos and class posts right from their classroom teacher through out the day. I have had all my 5 children attend KinderCare Stockton from infant to school age. It always gives piece of mind, that my children were always in great, excellent, caring hands.Thank you Stockton KinderCare Teacher & staff. Our family will forever be great full for caring for our children through out the years. Est. 2003-2021"
"Update after 1+ year.The staff have cared greatly for my little one, fueling his independence, learning, speech, and overall development. To my surprise, he even learned his 1-10 in Spanish before he turned two! If you're wondering if this facility is worth it, it is."
"I have two children who go to Little Investigators. To say they like going to school here is an understatement. They LOVE it and are often disappointed during holidays when they're not able to go to school. I especially love that the focus on learning is based more on what interests the children and developing social/cognitive skills. Both my children have built up their confidence in the time they've attended this preschool, and have grown a lot as individuals. The "academic" piece of learning feels more natural and integrated into daily encounters vs. other preschools where a lot of focus is purely on memorizing ABCs, counting, and worksheets. I am happy with how my children are doing hands-on learning in the context of the world around them, working on social/emotional skills, expanding their vocabulary and communication skills, etc.All of the teachers and the director have been exceptional. They communicate often and share tons of cute photos via the app. I have never felt uncomfortable leaving my children at the school and trust that the teachers have my children's best interest at heart."
"Absolutely love the ladies who work here. My daughter absolutely loves them and only calls them "Teacher" followed by their first names. They helped me out so much with my daughter and after struggling to find an affordable daycare and researching all daycares in Stockton I thankfully found them. I don't get any assistance and their prices are waaaay more affordable then others. I would drop my daughter off around 6:15 - 6:30am, they would give her breakfast, take her to school, pick her back up, give her a snack, do homework before she could play and then I would pick her back up before 6pm. Mrs. Vicki (the owner) and Ms. Felicia are such a sweethearts, but they definitely put their foot down when the kids are doing things they are not supposed to and they'll make the parent(s) aware as well so that's great. Very clean environment as well, you'll always see them cleaning and wiping everything down with Clorox wipes so that's much appreciated. We really loved them here! Highly recommended."
"Very friendly and attentive staff; my daughter academically excelled in reading and math. Being surrounded with other kids she learned how to be more social. I like how the atmosphere mimics a classroom facility setting when comparing it to other Montessori at home-based ones. Highly recommend!"
"My husband and I found out about Stockton Montessori from one of his co-workers. Our son has been a student there for two and a half years (summer 2016-present day). Sending our son to this preschool has been one of the best choices we've made. The director and teachers are amazing, friendly, and very welcoming. The education and social skills that my child has received at this school is more than I could have ever expected. I would definitely recommend Stockton Montessori to anyone who is looking for a school that provides excellent early childhood education."
