We have had our children enrolled here for the past two years, and we truly couldn’t be happier. The staff is caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and happiness. It’s such a comfort knowing our kids are in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment every day. Communication is great, the routines are well thought out, and it’s clear how much pride they take in what they do. We are so grateful to be part of this daycare family and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional care.

Everyone at Aunt Sherrie’s preschool is amazing. It took my daughter a long time to warm up to everyone and the environment and all the teachers and staff are so patient and kind. The teachers make sure the curriculum is engaging and the kids are always learning new things. They also work hard to keep everything clean which I really appreciate. Thank you for all you do!

I cannot say enough good things about Aunt Sherrie’s Preschool. My son spent the year before kindergarten in their preschool program, and I truly believe this school set him up for the academic success he has now in first grade. My daughter was also enrolled in their toddler program part time, and still to this day asks when she can go back to play, despite us now living 200 miles away. I will continue to recommend this school for anyone in the Oroville area. The teachers are loving and fun, and the school is so clean and safe. We had the best experience with Aunt Sherrie’s!

Curriculum-Based Programs Geared Towards Development Milestones and Kindergarten Readiness


At Aunt Sherrie's Preschool, our curriculum is intentionally designed to bridge the gap between early discovery and formal schooling. We track key developmental milestones across social, emotional, and cognitive domains to ensure.


Our teachers are highly trained and passionate about educating young children. They create a safe, nurturing environment where children can express their ideas and feelings confidently while developing independence, curiosity, and strong social skills.

Celebrating Kids Through Different Local Events

We believe children thrive in an environment that celebrates their individuality and sense of belonging. That’s why we celebrate kids through a variety of local and seasonal events.



We also host fundraisers and family-focused events that encourage community involvement and connection. These experiences allow children to learn through shared activities while building meaningful relationships with their peers, teachers, and families. By staying active in the local community, we help children develop confidence, teamwork, and a strong sense of pride in their school.

Aunt Sherrie


Hello, my name is Aunt Sherrie. I am the owner of Aunt Sherrie's Preschool! I opened this preschool in 2019. I also have an in-home daycare :). I have been in childcare for over 30 years. I opened both of the childcare places to be able to be available for families that need a trusting, loving place for their children to grow in. I love being a part of your support system in assisting with your child's growth. At home I have lots of animals, including chickens, sheep, cats, and dogs.

I have 5 grown kids and love spending time with my grandchildren.
