Vineyard Montessori

My grandchildren have been attending this preschool for the last few years. I have seen them grow tremendously academically and socially from attending there. I highly recommend them.

I am currently in the process of moving to Sacramento and had begun my research for daycares in the area for both of my sons,, ages 3 and 18 months. I reached out to the school and received an email stating that currently there were only openings for my 3 year old and a waiting list for my 18 month old. I was excited and set up a tour. The tour unfortunately was going to be a month a way, about a week from when we actually were going to move. I receive an email stating all the spots had been filled for 3 year Olds as well. This put me and my family in a terrible position as I was planning on my son to be enrolled after the tour. The school should have informed me that there are several other applicants in the queue for tours and there is a great chance this spot will be filled by the time my tour came around. I felt this school's offers no transparency and misleads families. Communication doesn't seem to be a strong point for the administrators of this school. I am no left in a position to scramble and enroll my son in an alternate daycare. With two deaths in my family recently, juggling all this is mentally impossible.  This school really let this mourning mother down. What a shame! Hopefully future families don't make the same mistake I did. I really wish they would have been more transparent in telling me that their were other kids waiting for the same spot, just like they had no problem mentioning the waitlist for my 18 month old.  I am in tears now wondering what am I going to do and will I be able to find care for my son in such a short turn around time. There is no empathy from the administrators as to the position they have put me in. This school is a great disappointment along with it's administrators.

Vineyard is one of two Montessori academies our daughter has attended. It is easily the better of the two daycare facilities.   While community engagement has taken a hit due to COVID protocols, Vineyard has been intentional and effective with maintaining daily communications (via Brightwheel app and email), community events (via Zoom), online photography (with consent... via IG) and at drop off/pick up. The COVID protocols prioritize the health and safety of the children, staff and families. Vineyard has encouraged and helped facilitate socialization,  friendships and playdates outside of school, our daughter has growing friendships and so do we. Vineyard adheres to Montessori practices and we see this reflected in her language, dexterity, attentiveness, creativity, and expression. We couldn't be more pleased.

I cannot recommend this preschool enough! All 3 of my boys attended VM for their formative years between 15 months- 5 years. I toured many schools because I wanted to find a preschool closer to my house, but none were nearly as nurturing, safe, or as happy as VM. The staff members are all so happy, patient, wise, and loving.  They are magicians who can charm these toddlers into using their words, cheerfully clean up after themselves, and take turns participating. The facility is beautiful, large, and full of the most engaging learning materials. We are so thankful to have had this amazing community during our children's preschool years.

If you are looking for a school that will ignite your child's passion for learning this is the place!!!!! I toured many pre-school programs before choosing this school. And as they all seemed like they did a good job. I had an immediate liking to this school and their program. My daughter has attended this school for 1.5 years and  her desire for learning has steadily increased. Before she turned 5 she was writing her first and last name, spelling and reading small words, adding and subtracting numbers and requesting to read chapter books! She is also able to express herself with the various art projects they do. The staff is amazing and caring. They notify me immediately of any concerns they have. And during this Covid pandemic have taken immediate measures to keep the children teach and their staff safe. By taking each child's temperature each morning and having a front door drop off. As a working parent through this pandemic,  it is one less stressor knowing your child is able to safely continue their education! Thank you all staff for setting up my child with such a strong educational foundation for her to enter kindergarten with! We will miss you
