Testimonials 

"Our family has been part of this preschool for multiple years, and it has been an incredible experience. My kids absolutely love it, and so do I.

What makes this school special is that kids truly get to be kids. They get messy, explore, create, play, and learn at their own pace. The environment allows each child’s personality to shine, and there is a genuine focus on curiosity, creativity, and joyful learning.

The parent involvement is another huge strength. Parents are welcomed into the classroom and become part of the experience. Over the years, we've built meaningful relationships with other families, teachers, and children. It feels less like a school and more like a community.I also appreciate that the cooperative model keeps tuition affordable while giving parents the opportunity to be actively involved in their child's education.

We are incredibly grateful for the teachers, staff, and families who make this school so special. I highly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, supportive, play-based preschool where children and families can truly thrive." _ Robby Bostain

"My grandsons attended this preschool for a total of 4 years. The facility, staff, and parent community are excellent! The children learn in creative and amazing ways. Educational, physical, and social skills are always emphasized, and the curriculum is top notch! Highly recommended."- Marsha Charpentier 

"We love Bakersfield Parent Nursery! Our children have been attending the school for several years now, and we are so grateful to have a school that feels like home. The teachers and staff are one-of-a-kind, and so invested in each child and family individually. The children learn so much through PLAY. We wanted an affordable preschool with a flexible schedule, where our child did not have to attend 5 days a week without losing their enrollment. We also wanted a school that was play-based and had ample opportunity for outdoor play. We got so much more than we were looking for. We got a family and a place where our children can thrive. " - Kathleen Kretzmer

"When we started our search for a preschool we were looking for a school that focused on play based learning and had an outdoor playground. What we discovered was more than we could ever ask for. Our children have always felt loved and safe at school. My girls will come home telling me all about their day and singing whatever new song they learned that week. This is a co-op school so there is parent participation involved which we loved, it allowed us to observe what our kids did during school hours. We have also made life long friendships with the kids and the parents along the way. As a stay at home mom I loved to linger on the playground after drop off to catch up with the teachers and other parents.

If you’re on the fence on whether you should send your kid to tk or keep them home BPN is a happy medium. Kids play and learn from 9-12 and are home in time for nap time.

This preschool felt like a second home and family to us. Look no further than BPN for all your preschool needs.

I know my girls will we go into public schools full of confidence and knowledge they gained at BPN." - Stephanie Lockhart

I can’t imagine my daughter’s tremendous growth & who she is today without the AMAZING teachers & staff at this school. Safe & caring is what we felt from the very first day until her last days. I can’t recommend or say enough kind words about this heaven sent Preschool. Every child blossoms in his/her own way & this school does the perfect job in understanding and naturally letting that happen on its own.

The parents that you will meet are also so supportive and we have built lasting friendship, as we ALL were on this journey together. This school has forever changed our lives in such a positive way & I hope it does the same to everyone that comes through here. The best Co-Op Preschool in Bakersfield. You will always have access and communication to know how your kid is doing. Getting to be part of your kid’s school learning process is such a gift and no one does it better than BPN! You will get to know the staff, other students, parents & feel like they are family. We will always love & miss you BPN! - JP
