Schools in Lincoln, CA

“My son started attending Morningstar Montessori Preschool in January 2025. We had relocated from the Bay Area, where he had been attending another Montessori-inspired preschool. Leaving that school was the hardest aspect of relocating and finding another school he loved and that we felt comfortable with was our number one priority. It was an easy transition and he loved it immediately. He seems to enjoy the outdoor space most- the sandbox, swings, mud kitchen, trucks, and farm animals (goats and chickens). Over the summer, he enjoyed the daily water play. I have appreciated the changes the owner Gigi has made since taking new ownership in 2024. My family initially had some concern about the negative reviews online left over from the old ownership, but none of those have continued to be present. All the current staff are friendly and patient, and we know our son is in a safe learning environment each day. He comes home saying he had “a thousand hundred fun” each day. My family recommends Morningstar Montessori to all our family and friends looking for a local preschool in Lincoln.”

“My son recently moved into their preschool from their toddler program. I cannot say enough positive things about this place. He is encouraged to play and explore while learning to cooperate with classmates. All of the adults know his likes and dislikes. They notice his strengths and encourage his areas of interest. They treat him with kindness and fondness that make him feel at home. There is plenty for him to play with both inside and outdoors. He’s never discouraged from investigating or getting messy. I absolutely love this place. I will be enrolling little brother the moment he turns 18 months!”

“Best preschool in town. They make my child feel safe. Kids learn a lot. Helps them prepare for kindergarten and life. Very family oriented and have the parent involved. The staff is so loving to my kid and I can’t ask for anything better. So happy my first born has so much love from this school. Can’t wait for my second one to start in a couple years.”

“My son has been going here for over a year and we absolutely love it! They also offer great enrichment classes such as music and dance.. I’m updated daily through their app with photos and videos of my child and what they are learning. The teachers and staff are patient, kind and communicative. They basically potty trained my child for me :) highly recommend!”
