Schools near Cotati, CA

“This was our first year at CRPCNS and we couldn’t be happier! It’s exactly what our family was looking for. Our daughter loves going to school everyday and spending time with her friends and being creative. Lyndsey is an amazing teacher! So patient and present in the class. The kids do so many hands on projects that we get to see and take home everyday. The space is so fun and inviting, and the outdoor yard is the best!! So many things for the kids to do and be creative in their own ways. They garden and play all sorts of games out on by the parents who work in the class. Truly such a fun atmosphere to be In.

We wanted something where we were involved, especially with it being her first year in preschool and not home with us. We get to make community with the other families and also be hands on with our daughters learning and fun! We couldn’t recommend this co-op more!”

“It’s reasonably close to my home. Reasonable price. Hours are good during the weekend. It would help if they closed at 11 pm during the work week instead of 10 pm. The bathroom ceiling has leaked during heavy rains the past couple of years. They fixed it much more quickly the last time it happened. Otherwise mold starts.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my child has received at The Learning Experience! The staff is kind, caring, and creates a safe, loving environment where children can learn and grow.
Mr. Mario’s dedication and leadership has created a wonderful place for families. I highly recommend TLE to anyone looking for quality care and an environment where their child will be well cared for and valued!”

“La Petite Academy in Santa Rosa has been a fantastic experience for our whole family. I can't say enough great things about the staff. Our daughter started in the preschool room at 3.5, and the first few months were rocky. She really didn't want to go. But her first teachers, Ms. Maria and Ms. Amita, were absolutely fantastic, and over time those tears turned into excitement. She moved up to the TK room, where Ms. Lynn and Ms. Melissa have been wonderful. Ms. Lynn has a special place in our daughter's heart, and she talks about her a lot at home. This past year she has really blossomed, academically, socially, and in her confidence. She's made friends, learned to write her name, and lights up talking about the activity centers and her teachers. The Spotlight on Kindergarten books have her excited and ready for her transition this fall.

A special thank you to the center director, Sarah. She's great at communicating what's going on at the school and making sure every family feels comfortable. She spent so much time answering my questions during enrollment. Our daughter was on the waitlist for a few months before a spot opened up, and La Petite was absolutely worth the wait!

Our younger daughter is now in the Twos room with Ms. Katie and Ms. Ranee, and her transition was so smooth. She'd already gotten to know the school and teachers from tagging along to her big sister's drop-offs. The whole team greets the girls (and us) warmly every single day, and we love how connected we feel to their activities through the app updates. It gives us real peace of mind knowing they're so well taken care of.

We're so grateful to everyone at La Petite, and we'd recommend them to any family.”

“I am taking his online classes from Florida. Michael is very wise from years and years of training, and he weaves in that wisdom into his training which I appreciate. Pricing is fair and reasonable. I highly recommend his courses to anyone.”

“Thank you tiny treasures for making us a part of your family, today was my daughters last day of school before heading off to kindergarten. These beautiful lady's made the biggest impact in my baby girls life! She is so sad to be leaving you guys but I can't thank you all enough for being such an amazing part of her first school experiences! I loved see her connect and bond with all of the teachers and friends she made! Nevaeh and i will always remember All of the amazing things she learned and experienced along the way! TTP is #1!”

“The school is a wonderful place. Rhio and her staff have taught generations of my family. I wouldn’t bring my children anywhere else. The best Montessori in the county!!”

“Mt Taylor is a well considered preschool they go beyond the limits to care of your child. My daughter has developed and grown through her years ready for her next chapter in TK. Im so thankful for Slivia Maria, Martha, and Maya for there never ending support.”

“Our family has had a truly wonderful experience at this preschool, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the very first day, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that our children were in caring, capable hands.
The teachers are exceptional—kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about early childhood education. They take the time to understand each child’s unique personality and needs, creating a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. It’s clear how much thought and heart goes into everything they do.
The curriculum strikes a perfect balance between learning and play. Our children have grown so much academically, socially, and emotionally, all while having fun. We’re constantly amazed by the skills they’ve developed and the confidence they’ve gained.”

“Very friendly teachers. The children do lots of activities and I can tell the kids are learning and building social skills, and getting outdoor exercise. Love this place!”

“We Praise God for First United Methodist Church Pre-School for loving and taking care of our Son. We have been through 4 different preschools in the area and FUMC is the best we have ever been. The school has been there for 33 years and the staff have been there for 28 to 30 years, this speaks volume on how they understand the needs, growth and development of our son. With their seasoned experience in Child Development they give a wonderful, loving, safe environment and beautiful state of the art toys appropriate for our son's needs. And most of all we are deeply grateful and thankful for the teachers Ms. Debbie, Ms. Joanne, Ms. Lupe, Ms. Carlee who have been there for years and to our Director Ms. Jamie, they Angels from heaven who gives loving care and understanding to our son every day. Our son does not want to go home and he loves being there and this is how we know FUMC is a safe and loving place for our son.”

“We love Achievers so much. I do not have a worry while my son is at there child care facility. They are so communicative through there procare app. I have access to message staff at anytime and they always respond so quickly. Always sending me pictures of my 2.5 yr old through out his day. Achievers is so flexible, accommodating, understanding of different family types and different childrens need for that matter. My son is thriving at Achievers daycare and school happy at drop off, always happy and willing to share about his day at pickup. I could not be happier with our choice of 1st day care environment for my son. I did not have to settle for me needs and wants for my child at Achievers.❤️”

“This is our third daycare (our son is four and we've moved a couple times) and we are so happy with the staff and facilities at this location. Classrooms are well-maintained, our child adores his teachers and every interaction we have with a staff member is genuine and thoughtful. They are communicative about the curriculum and special events, and in the time we've been there we have seen numerous improvements to the facility and academic offerings. We chose this particular KinderCare because of the hours and location but even when one of our jobs moved and it became slightly less convenient we opted to stay here and are so glad we did.”

“When we moved out of the city it was hard for us to find placement for our youngest in a preschool, so we went with the pretty and shiny local preschool that all the kids in the neighborhood went to. It was rough.
Every morning I had to pep talk our son to get him to go to school.
He was miserable. I was miserable. Our family was miserable.
And then gratefully there was an opening at Children's Corner and we finally got in.
It has been an absolute game changer.
The school is wonderful.
The teachers are wonderful.
The administration is wonderful.
The environment is wonderful.
I should have reviewed the school sooner but kept forgetting until this morning when our 3-year-old was super upset that he wasn't going to school today. He loves it there.
We had reduced his school days at the old school to 4 days per week to minimize the stress of being there and my husband and I have been coordinating our work schedules to make this work.
And now our son is genuinely disappointed on Mondays when he doesn't go to school.
Children's Corner is exactly what a preschool should be an we're incredibly grateful to be a part of it.”

“With my daughter heading into tk this school year, I had to leave a parting review as we couldn't believe how lucky we got with this school. After going to 2 different schools/daycares where we had not so good experiences, Bridge school was a total dream. The owner goes out of her way to give such memorable experiences to the kids, and I know my daughter will have the best memories to look back on. The teachers are honest, communicative and caring, and most of all fun (and funny!)! There was always something exciting and fun happening when I'd pick my daughter up, and more often than not, she wouldn't want to leave. I am so grateful for all Bridge school has done, and will be taking my family back to visit the wonderful staff in the future. So so so happy we found this place!”

“Wonderful. Really great staff. Very nice, very helpful, very accomedationg and patient. Didnt feel rushed and wi was informed clearly.of everything.i appreciate there compasión very much .”

“5 Stars - Amazing Experience at KinderCare!

KinderCare has been a lifesaver for our family. We switched from a poorly managed daycare where my son was unhappy and misunderstood. From day one at KinderCare, he came home smiling and excited to go back.

His teacher, Emily, has been incredible—so patient and supportive with our strong-willed little one. She truly understands him and helps him thrive. They also recently welcomed our one-year-old, and we could tell right away he had a great day with the staff and other kids.

The communication, care, and professionalism at KinderCare are unmatched. They truly see each child as an individual. We are so grateful and highly recommend them!”

“As a grandparent, I am so thankful for Seedlings and Sprouts Preschool. My grandson has been there for over two years, and the love and care he has received mean everything to our family.

Watching him grow in confidence, kindness, and excitement for learning has been such a gift. The teachers create a warm, safe environment where children truly feel loved and supported. My grandson is happy, thriving, and always excited to go to school.

There is no greater comfort than knowing your grandchild is in such caring hands. I highly recommend Seedlings and Sprouts to any family looking for a preschool that feels like home.
