Schools in Sacramento, CA

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Cadence Academy location! I obviously can’t speak for the other locations, as I have not had a child attend anywhere else, however the staff at this location are amazing. The directors, Bethel and Laura are the best and always make sure things run and operate smoothly! My son has been attending here since he was 3 months old and we have never had to deal with any issues!y son gets excited going to daycare everyday and has learned almost everything he knows from his teachers. Everyone who works here really cares for these kids and it shows!”

“This place has been the best experience for my son. More growth in one month than two years with IEP resources at our assigned district school. Whether or not your child has a dyslexia diagnosis, but is below grade level performance standards, send them to Read. Reach out to education advocates and/or lawyers. There are ways to afford the tuition. Make it happen for your kid. Literacy is a right and unfortunately the public school system does not guarantee this. Make it happen for your kid.”

“This is the absolute best preschool in Sacramento! I went there as a child 45 years ago and loved it so much that I wanted to have my own children go there also. I ended up sending my children to Fremont for their preschool years and loved every minute of it. Their program was exactly what I wanted for my children. My children have such fond memories of their time at Fremont. The wonderful staff is caring and they put forth an exceptional preschool program. The facilities are perfect. I highly recommend this preschool to anyone in the area.”

“The BEST school in town! We are so happy with our experience as parents. The education, community, communication, and staff are amazing. I highly recommend the Shalom School.”

“My son attended Penleigh 5 days a week for the last 2.5 years. We have absolutely loved our time at Penleigh. The staff are all wonderful and kind - we felt very safe leaving our son in their care. They also create a lovely community for the parents at Penleigh. We will miss the staff and all of our friends as we transition to TK next year. We would highly recommend Penleigh!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Inspire Preschool! My daughter attended for almost two years, and was more than ready for Kinder. I only wish we had started her there sooner. She was at an in-home preschool previously. We toured so many preschools in Natomas but they all felt institutional and impersonal. Inspire was the perfect blend of a real school environment but warm and intimate. The admin and most teachers have been there for years. They truly LOVE their students. My daughter was so happy there and they quickly felt like family. They have story time, music time, and art, daily. Fun, hands-on learning! Science projects. Nature walks. Every week is a different theme of learning (e.g., bodies of water, insects (they study real bugs), planets, etc.), and they decorate for each theme. They go all out for holidays and have super fun events. The staff put in SO much time and effort. They not only educate our kids in such fun ways but they teach emotional and social skills, and they are amazing when handling crying kids or separation anxieties. They are super communicative and provide pictures, messages through an app, and daily emails. They are tucked in a business complex that feels very safe. They even go trick-or-treating during Halloween to nearby businesses or take field trips to the vet’s office in the complex. Don’t let the small outdoor space fool you; they conduct outdoor games and activities, have a garden, and provide more than enough toys etc. during recess times, and they add shade in the summer.”

“Miss Nana and Miss Aileen are the best!! We feel incredibly lucky to have Miss Nana and Miss Aileen as our daughter’s teachers. From the very beginning, they’ve shown such warmth, patience, and genuine care—it’s clear they truly love what they do. Our daughter lights up when she sees them each morning, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing she’s in such nurturing and capable hands.

They take the time to understand each child’s unique personality and needs, and we’ve seen our daughter thrive socially and emotionally under their care. Whether it’s the creative activities they plan or the way they comfort and guide the kids, Miss Nana and Miss Aileen go above and beyond every single day. We’re so grateful for the joy and kindness they bring into our daughter’s life!”

“Every thing was good . My son has learn so much from this school. I am really really thankful to the teacher who helped Yuvaan in his journey of preschool and got him ready for the next chapter of his life . special thanks to miss. Samina . who has worked really hard on Yuvaan in his potty training and also overall .miss. Samina did a great job on him .
The only concern i had was on the day of graduation , there was an unfortunate incidence happen . A man become violent and blown up my son's graduation balloon and it also hit me .I felt there was some kind racist behaviour towards Indians ,which
I personally experienced in Merryhill on few occasions .Other than that , everything was fine .”

“Forever Young is a very special place for our family. The staff are some of the warmest, kindest, most caring individuals who go above and beyond to ensure each child is cared for and loved. My son started there when he was 4 months old and continued on into the toddler room. When he aged out, it felt like we were moving away from family. I could not recommend FY enough.”

“We adore Ms. Marina in our household! She has a wealth of experience and expertise. Her patience, gentleness and passion create such a warm connection with the children! The curriculum is brought to life by her and Ms. Juliana, creating classroom management that engages students in learning, classroom community and fun! We are grateful our child has had the opportunity to attend this school and have amazing teachers in Ms. Marina and Ms. Juliana. We are indebted to them both! Thank you!! The rumors are true about Merryhill ; it’s an excellent school and worth the cost! (Karista Ave. location)”

“5 stars all the way for Alhambra Preschool! We are new to the family there but they immediately made us feel right at home. I began speaking with Tania a few months before my kids started. She was so organized and made sure my kids had spots when the time came for them to enroll. Chef Mari (who cooks fantastic, healthy kid-friendly meals) always greets us with a big warm hello on our way in and we are then welcomed with a warm “Good Morning!” by anyone who is working the front desk.

My 5 year old was only there for a short period of time before moving on to Kindergarten this year, but it was such a magical time for him. Ms. Melissa (the teacher in the Butterfly room) is a wonderful teacher and our son came home everyday raving about the fun activities she planned for them. She is active on the app they use for the school and often posts fun pictures and videos so we could get a glimpse of what they were up to each week. Much appreciated!

Ms. Barbie and the rest of the staff in the Bumblebee classroom (the younger kiddos) are all amazing as well! The first week our 2 year old daughter started there, it was her first time ever in a classroom/daycare setting and they were so kind and patient with her at drop off when she was having a hard time with the transition. Ms. Barbie would hold her in a warm embrace each day when it was time for me to have to say goodbye. It helped me be able to get out the door and it gave my somber heart comfort in knowing she was in good hands and being given the extra love my daughter needed in that moment.

I highly recommend Alhambra Preschool. Thank you to all the wonderful people who work there!”

“We can't say enough good things about A2O! Our son loved his time here. The staff are all so warm and welcoming and truly care about each of the kiddos. I highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare!”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience at this school over the past year. Our daughter started when she was just one year old, and from the very beginning, she felt so comfortable and welcome.

The teachers are incredibly creative with their activities and always find ways to make learning fun and engaging, even at such a young age. We truly appreciate their dedication, warmth, and effort.

Although we sadly have to leave the school due to changing schools to be closer to family, we’re leaving with only positive memories and deep gratitude. Thank you to everyone at the school for giving our daughter such a happy and nurturing start!”

“I went to smythe my whole elementary years & now I’m 20 , I’d recommend this school for your children because personally I felt safe being there my entire years of education with them and it was very diverse. I always felt safe took rn care of and I always had fun at recess and lots of friends lol. I’d send my children here when they reach that milestone!”

“My son has been at home with me for almost 3 years so I was very nervous putting him in preschool. Mrs. Krystal and the entire staff made me feel at home with their warm personalities ! My son never cried once and calls the staff and his friends "his people" . Love the diversity the center carries and so happy to be apart of it!”

“I wish I would’ve known about this school before my daughter loves it everyone there is so nice and caring for the kids they are really amazing teachers the director Dana is really nice and helpful she’s really awesome, I truly recommend this place 100%”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Playhouse Preschool! My daughter attended Playhouse for three magical childhood years! Michelle and Jessica have been wonderful and I have referred many friends to enroll their kids here and have been thanked numerous times for referring them! My daughter still reflects on so many happy memories she remembers from her Playhouse days. The teachers are wonderful, the crafts, the playtime, the meals! They learn their numbers, letters, how to write their name, ADORABLE Christmas pageants and graduations! A fun Harvest festival every year! I can’t recommend this place enough or have asked for a better Preschool experience for my little girl!”

“I have a tremendous sense of gratitude for the teachers at Learning Pointe. They treat my kids as if they were their own. You can feel there is a genuine love to nurture and teach.

Not only do they treat my kids well, they set a good example for new parents.

We love the program director Miss Vanessa! She is very understanding and flexible with parents. She holds the school together and helps organize events to make parents feel special on holidays.

My toddlers teachers, Miss Tracey and Miss Erika both have helped my son develop and walk quickly! I can tell it’s a great place because of the energy my son has when I drop him off, he’s always smiling and happy to be there. They are both very pleasant individuals, I feel at ease and confident when he is with them.

I have known my daughter’s teacher Miss Lindsay the longest. She is truly a gem, one of a kind teacher! She has taught my daughter so much and helped shape her interpersonal skills. Her vocabulary and curiosity has also expanded under her tutelage. Miss Lindsay also has thrown very cool kids parties during holidays, and her classroom always is decorated very nicely. There hasn’t been a day my daughter didn’t want to go to school.

Lastly, I love how clean Learning Pointe is. On top of that, it always smells fresh! It’s nice to know that my kids are in a clean and safe environment!”

“My wife and my children attended this school. Fond memories. Had lots of fun during days they had evening activities. But one of the Fondest Memories was when a former Principal suggested to me that my child wouldn't make it and he had given up on them as a student...”

“We are happy to say we’ve been coming here for a few years now and have gotten to know majority of the staff over time. They treat us like family and we are confident our kids are safe while we are at work. Would recommend this location for anyone looking for childcare!?”

“I am one of the vendors throughout the years I have worked at LCG this location has the best Director and best people working for her good communication very understanding.”

“I can say here is great place for kids and clean,the staff are great as well I was waiting just couple days then got a call from office told me you got approved and can bring your kids from next week 5 ⭐️”

“I love this place because I can trust the staff with my kids. My children ask to go back everyday. I was amazed at how affordable it is to have 2 kids attend. There's lots of enrichment activities, Bible-based learning and awesome field trips. The children get breakfast and lunch everyday. The staff communicates with you through an app, so I never have to worry about what's going on while I'm busy.”

“Childtime Natomas is nothing short of exceptional! From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with warmth and enthusiasm from Ms. Bev and Ms. Preet. The teachers here are not just caregivers; they're educators and friends to every child under their care.The facilities are awesome, designed with children's safety and comfort in mind. From the colorful, stimulating classrooms to the secure outdoor play area, every space encourages exploration and creativity.What truly sets Childtime apart is their dedication to individualized care. They understand that every child is unique, with their own interests, strengths, and needs. The teachers take the time to get to know each child personally, tailoring activities and interactions to support their development.Communication with parents is outstanding. Daily updates, photos, and even occasional videos provide a window into our child's day, fostering trust and peace of mind.Our child comes home happy, engaged, and eager to return the next day. We have been sending our two kids here since 2019 and we couldn't be happier with our choice and wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking an enriching environment for their child.”

“Before my son started coming here I was really cautious about who I allowed to watch my son. Being that I have years experienced in childcare I decided to do pop ups before signing him up. Every time I came at any time of the day I was greeted and all my concerns were answered. I also loved that it is black owned and diverse. My son has been going there for 4months now and we love it. They make us feel like family And respect my request to not feed him cows milk. They make sure to care for him just like I would. My son is in the infant room and loves playing with his baby friends. Every time I drop him off I see the bigger kids either doing circle time or arts and crafts. The teachers are doing a great job and I don’t play about my kids. I’m glad that I didn’t listen to the reviews and check things out myself.Me and dad approve”
