Play Matters Preschool

"Our daughter has been at Play Matters Preschool for the last year and it has been such a wonderful experience! Naomi has a true and skilled passion for early childhood and what it takes to help little ones thrive. Her school fosters and promotes exploration, learning, experimentation, and imaginative play. Our daughter loves going to school and we know that when we drop her off she is in a safe and fun environment. Naomi mirrors the values and structure we aim to provide for our daughter, and that has been invaluable to our family. We highly recommend Naomi and Play Matters Preschool!"

"I'm so happy I found Play Matters Preschool. This is a place where your child can soar. My son jumps out of the car when we arrive and is actively engaged for the whole time he's there. At Play Matters, children are given freedom to explore and learn and play on their own terms...with supportive and gentle guidance from Naomi. I have the funniest before and after photo from my son's first day last summer. He came home covered in dirt and smiling ear-to-ear. Naomi is a dream. You won't find a better provider anywhere. I did a lot of research to find the best place for our family, but as soon as I found Play Matters, I knew I'd found *the* one. A full-time preschool would have been more convenient for my work schedule; however, I make it work because this is absolutely the best place for my children."

"Play Matters has been a huge gift to our family. Our son, who normally is very hesitant about new situations, immediately was comfortable with Naomi and loves the nurturing space she has set up. After day one, it was his favorite place, and it's harder to pick him up than to drop him off. We feel so good knowing that he has a space where he feels really seen and supported and is able to thrive. Naomi does beautiful work with children to ensure that each of them is cared for and that they are able to learn how to communicate with each other and trust each other. Couldn't recommend her more highly!"

"I cannot recommend Play Matters enough! Our 2 year old loves the outdoors and here he gets to make mud and potions and use shovels and rakes. He is thrilled to go to school every day. The small class size also means everybody gets enough attention and nobody gets lost in the shuffle. Unfortunately there aren’t many outdoor play-focused options like this in the Sacramento Area so we felt very lucky to find it and to get in. Naomi even makes her own handcrafted wooden toys for the kids!…what more can I say?"

"We have had our son at Play Matters for six months since just after his first birthday to now when he is 18 months. We switched him from another daycare that he never warmed to, and he has loved Play Matters since the beginning. He is always happy to see Miss Naomi, and give her hugs and blow kisses. she worked to accommodate our nap needs and make sure he was comfortable. I love how much outside time he gets and how engaged he is with the activities they do. We feel like Play Matters is part of our family and I can’t recommend it enough."
