I cannot recommend this in-home preschool enough! Natalie, the owner and facilitator, brings an exceptional blend of academic rigor and vibrant energy that seems tailor-made for engaging young children. Alongside her, Chuck, her co-founder and husband, provides a calming yet playful balance, and our son absolutely thrives under their combined guidance. Their daughter, equally sweet and intelligent, has been a wonderful influence on our son as well. Our son has been attending since he turned two, and every day he returns home both joyful and wonderfully tired—a sure sign of a day full of learning and fun. Natalie is not only attentive to the children’s interests, helping them delve deeply into various subjects, but she also ensures that their approach is in perfect harmony with our family’s routines and practices at home. Being relatively new to the area, this preschool remains a hidden gem—for now. It truly embodies its mission, empowering children like ours to discover their passions while developing critical thinking skills through play. It’s a community treasure that enriches not only the children but also supports us parents with invaluable resources and knowledge.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this Reggio Emilia inspired in-home preschool in Castaic! From the moment we stepped in, we felt welcomed and knew it was the perfect place for our child. The environment is warm, nurturing, and beautifully set up to inspire curiosity and learning.

The educators are incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the Reggio Emilia approach. They take the time to understand each child's interests and needs, fostering a love for learning that is evident in every activity. The emphasis on hands-on, child-led exploration has been fantastic for our little one, who comes home excited and eager to share what they've discovered each day.

The small class size ensures personalized attention and a close-knit community feel. It’s clear that each child is valued and encouraged to express themselves creatively. The outdoor play area is a real highlight, providing endless opportunities for imaginative play and exploration in nature.

Communication with the staff is excellent; they keep us updated with regular photos, progress reports, and are always available to discuss any questions or concerns. It’s reassuring to know our child is in such caring and capable hands.

We have seen tremendous growth in our child's social skills, confidence, and enthusiasm for learning since starting here. I highly recommend this preschool to any parents looking for a loving, enriching, and inspiring educational environment for their child. It's truly a gem in Castaic!
