""Such a gem of a preschool in our small town! The teachers at SPA truly feel like a second family--deeply invested in each child's well-being and committed to creating an environment that is inclusive, safe, and full of meaningful play and learning. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care our children have received at SPA. We truly believe they've had one of the most special preschool experiences a child could have.
Being a working parent is hard, but knowing my kids are being cared for and loved each day brings such peace of mind."

Parent Testimonials
"My son went to school here between 2021-2024 (age 2-5) and we loved it! I was so nervous to drop my son off to any school because he was so little and truthfully it feels unnatural to be apart at such a young age but i work full time so we had to. I felt so much ease with this school which made for a smooth drop off. All of the teachers are very loving and have a strong focus on the social/emotional development of each child. The teachers quickly felt like family to us as they really loved our son and supported him with where he was at. Of course he learned to write his name and other important skills like counting and art but where this school really shines is their sense of community. They also focus on small class size so they can really support each child. I can't recommend this school enough!" -Aubree V. 2025
"SPA was Leo's first school! It was a big step for me to watch him for his first 2 years and step away and have others take care of him, but I knew he would be in good hands. From day one he was shown kindness, love and laughter. I could always tell he had so much fun at school. He was always excited to show up and never wanted to leave. SPA has paved the way for my son in how he thinks about learning. I can only hope that he continues this journey and is surrounded by educators like those at SPA"

"Sonoma Preschool Academy has exceeded our expectations. Our daughter has accelerated her learning of social skills and increased her toddler smarts due to the excellent and caring teachers, the close interaction between her and students of varying ages, and the superb facilities at Sonoma Preschool Academy. So glad that we chose Denise and her team for our daughter's first venture into school."

"We have had two children went to SPA from age 2-5, and have loved every single moment of this preschool experience. The teachers become family (the way they love every individual child is incredible to watch!), the low teacher-to-child ratio is unmatched, and the lessons in both humanity (how to be a good person!) and academics are top notch. The artwork the children create, the friendships they make, the interactive activities with the world and current events have brought me as a parent to tears over the years! I cannot say enough positive things about this school, Sonoma Preschool Academy is the best preschool in town, hands down"

"SPA has been a second home for our two children (now 5 and 7) and we have been in love with the school ever since their first day of preschool. The teachers/staff treat their students like their own and make every child feel special. Both our children have now graduated and I can honestly say they were more than prepared for Kindergarten than I ever could have imagined. SPA helped them become confident, loving, and respectful children with a love for learning. Thank you SPA!"

"After a previous preschool experience that wasn't quite the right fit for our family, we transferred to Sonoma Preschool Academy. I can honestly say it is one of my best parenting decisions I have made. I followed my instinct to SPA and it has been such a beautiful experience for my two daughters and whole family. The teachers are so warm and welcoming to the children and their caretakers every day. The teachers and staff have created a stable, warm, and stimulating environment for all of the kids. My eldest daughter especially has gained more confidence than I ever could have imagined, and I believe her teacher taught her that the confidence was inside of her all along. My younger daughter has fun everyday with friends and teachers. Soon, my son will attend SPA as well and I know that he will be in good hands. Thank you, SPA teachers and staff for taking care of my precious babies like they are your own."

"Sonoma Preschool Academy was our daughters first school experience and this year has been more then amazing. Every teacher is hands on they fill you in on every detail of everyday. They send out pictures at the end of the week which my family looks forward to every Friday. Denise is amazing she has helped us in so many ways throughout the year. Mea has made many friends and has succeeded in everything this year to listening, making friends, potty training, cleaning up, etc. My whole family loved them so much she’s going back to Pre-K next year. Thank you SPA!!”
