CNP, Ms Brandy, and Mr Scott are wonderful! They have a wonderful play based program which is all outdoors in their perfectly designed backyard. The individual care they give to each child is fabulous. They take time to ensure each parent is well informed but more importantly that each child feels loved, safe, and important. Every learning experience, hard time, and activity reached children respect for themselves, others, and their environment. As a parent, there is nothing better in a preschool than when you know your child is excited to go to preschool and you feel confident that they are in nurturing, supportive care. Don't let street view of the home fool you - Brandy and Scott have taken great care in creating a wonderfully prepared environment with natural play spaces, animals, and a beautiful garden in the large backyard with a separate entrance to the side of the home. They have an application process to ensure it's a great match for all including a call and an in-person visit. They provide very detailed daily notes for each child every day sent same-day along with lots of photos, and a quick check in at pickup. They also create opportunities for the families to have several group events throughout the year.

If you are a family that loves being outdoors, values an environment that cultivates respect and care for all living things, and your kids love a good mud puddle, then look no further!

Thank you Brandy and Scott for your excellent care!

If you’re lucky enough to get a space, your child will flourish in this amazing nature setting. Brandy and Scott have created something truly magical for the kids that are able to attend. Creative Nature Playschool (CNP) is an amazing school that focuses on environmental education. It is a fabulous program, that is rare to the Sacramento area, or anywhere else for that matter. It encourages your child’s growth and independence for years to come. I’m sure there’s a wait list so make sure your on it as soon as possible!!

CNP was the first type of school/daycare that we took my daughter to. From day one Brandy surpassed every expectation and made us feel comfortable - which never faulted the entire year our daughter went there. I love the extra steps that Brandy takes to ensure you that your child is in good hands. For example, after rough drop offs we’d get an update of how she was doing and every time we got a photo of our happy little girl having totally forgotten about her melt down. At the end of every day I’d get a summary of her day with pictures that made me feel in the know and like I was included in her day and schedule while at work. CNP introduced us to a nature learning environment and to this day I see how it developed my little girl to be fascinated and inquisitive about the world around her, to learning up close how caterpillars turn into butterflies and watching that process in class, to playing outside rain or shine. My daughter also learned two extremely important lessons from Brandy - how to communicate with others and how to communicate her needs. My daughter now knows how to express herself and her boundaries (within reason for a toddler.) My daughter loved every single day she was at school with CNP and I wish we could’ve stayed with CNP forever. I highly recommend Creative Nature Playschool with Brandy. I am forever grateful and thankful that I found her program.
