Schools in El Dorado Hills, CA

“We absolutely love this place and beyond thankful for the tremendous work they put toward our son! Our 3 year old started attending Montessori manor in august after almost two years of no schooling due to Covid, and so he came with a large package (to say the very least). We were worried about him not adapting and such because he's not the adaptive type. Not only did it take him ONLY TWO DAYS, but he has showed a magnificent progress in every aspect that he was completely lacking and in such short period of time. Ms. Leslie is a remarkable, experienced, and warm teacher and she has the best hand picked staff. Our son loves his school and we are beyond thankful for Ms. Leslie and the team of teachers.”

“We have had a great experience with Bergamo, and our son has loved attending school there. He started in one of the Toddler classrooms when he was about 20 months old, and was there until he transitioned to a Primary class for his last few months attending the school. All of the teachers and staff members that we've interacted with in both classes have been wonderful; they're so caring and create a welcoming environment, and we've been amazed by how much he's learned and developed skills during his time at Bergamo. He's also very excited to go to school each morning, and has so much fun during the day while he's there. The school itself is incredibly well-run; the communication is excellent and we always feel informed about how he is doing during the day and what he is learning and working on. I couldn't recommend Bergamo highly enough, and we're so glad our son has been able to go there.”

“Staff AND students are incredible! What a blessing to have such an amazing school for our children. Teachers have such a way of making the school a fun, yet safe learning environment. We love you MVA!!!!”

“Beautiful friendly childcare center used for my grand son - started in the toddler room which he and we all adored (such great staff works w those under 2s and the seem to genuinely love them) and now the 2s room which is taking a while longer to fit in. But the kids are safe and well fed, they nap midday and seem to have fun interacting w their peers. I do NOT however like the hitting that has occurred since moving out of the toddler room. This may be par for the course but it’s a daily battle at home now, will take some time to extinguish this unwanted behavior.”

“Opened in 2017 and couldn't be happier! Principal is a great mentor to the kids while the teachers are very excited to be at Valley View. Lots to look forward too and son was so excited to start his new school this year.”

“As a former elementary principal, my standards are HIGH! I have two girls who have attended Busy Bees - one who is still there and one in elementary school (but is ecstatic each morning to visit the school for little sister's drop-off). The teachers are warm, inviting, and truly care about the safety and well-being of each and every child.Communication with families is a strong suit of the teachers and owner. I always know what's going on in my child's class. Teachers truly care about the whole child - helping them learn but also encouraging and supporting their activities and interests in and outside the classroom. Our Busy Bees teacher even came to our girls' ballet recital and cheered on (and brought flowers for) all the Busy Bees students who performed.I have never questioned safety of my children while at Busy Bees. The curriculum is top-notch and has undoubtedly prepared my girls for TK and kindergarten. This preschool is phenomenal and I'm going to be sad when our littlest kiddo graduates and moves on to the next chapter. The way the school handled Covid protocols was very much supportive of the childrens' well-being and comfort level with face coverings, etc.”

“My son is in his second year at Golden Hills School, and we could not be happier with the education he is receiving. We chose GHS for our son largely because they do teach a curriculum that is advanced (a grade level ahead), and we have seen our son grow so quickly in his reading, writing, and math skills. Thanks to his teachers in JK and Kindergarten, he is developing a true love of learning, and he is constantly asking us questions about math and Spanish, and loves reading new words all the time. We also love that GHS offers exceptional enrichment classes, including Spanish, technology, art, music, theater, and daily P.E. Another thing our family appreciates about this school is the diverse community of welcoming families, and many opportunities to get involved. We look forward to many more years at GHS.”

“Well organized, excellent decor , welcoming and happy staff made us choose this location for infant care as the above enabled us be confident to trust their team to take care of our infant!”

“This is one of the best daycares that I've had experience with. Having 3 kids and having lived in several areas around California this is by far the best one I have sent my children to. Jenn the owner is fantastic! She is caring, sweet, and experienced. She knows what parents need and want for their children to experience in daycare. - They have an app which notifies you of the daily activities, meals, and updates. They "over communicate" in a good way. I know what my son eats and how much he eats every day. I know when he is changed, when he naps, if an incident has happened, what they are learning, and if there is a change in their menu all through the app. - Meals and snacks are included in the tuition. It's great because they provide a variety of nutritious foods. I believe they have very fair tuition rates in comparison to other daycare in the area. I had to research a few as the first daycare my son attended closed abruptly. - They always have fun events for holidays and they have several parent date nights on the weekends. They offer extracurricular activities like dance and soccer shots to name a few. They have picture days which can include siblings! - They spend lots of time outdoors and have a very spacious facility inside and out. I believe the building is on about an acre and so the outdoor space is large and fun for kids. My son does lots of arts and crafts, water activities during the summer, and learns songs & dances. They have recently gone through some turnover and everything is communicated very well to the parents. The teachers that are there are so kind to my son and even teachers who are not assigned to my son's class know him and call him by name. I was sad to see that there are some reviews that judge this Daycare based on a short intro interaction. My son has been going for a year and we are very happy with his progress with social interactions and his ability to adapt to new environments. I'm so grateful for the Gift of Kids Daycare!”
