Everyday, she wakes up so excited to go to school, all 3 of the teachers in the class are not only amazing but my daughter is so comfortable around all of them, and they let her express herself to the fullest. From the sports activites to educational to field trips everything has been so incredible here. It is organized, fun, informative and they will always keep you updated about your kids. They even have my daughter eating foods she had never tried before and now loves! It will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you all so much for caring for our kids like they are your own!

I recently toured this preschool two weeks ago and decided to enroll my son today. Out of all the…read morepreschools I toured, they were most communicative and were really easy to reach via phone or email. This reassured me that I can easily reach out to them if I had any questions. Even though my son does not start until March 2025, I believe he will be in a safe place. The whole preschool is gated and requires a pin lock to enter. They also use the Procare app to send updates about your child throughout the day. I decided on this preschool mainly due to location. They're about average price compared to others. I'll update this review once my attends and how his experience is. :) I'm sure he will love it.

We've had such a great experience at Enlighten Pre School over the past 3 years. Both of my…read moredaughters have attended here, and it has truly felt like a caring and welcoming environment from the beginning. All of the staff have always been kind, friendly, and supportive to both the kids and parents. A special thank you to Ms. Monisha, Ms. Hollie, and especially Ms. Margaret (who is no longer there). They have all been absolutely amazing and made such a positive impact on my daughters' early school experience. We will miss Ms. Margaret so much -- she was truly the best and cared so deeply for the children. You can tell she genuinely loved what she did, and we are so grateful my daughters had her as a teacher. The only downside recently has been the switching around of teachers. I do wish there was better communication and introductions regarding who will specifically be working with my child, as consistency and communication are important for parents. Other than that, we've had a really positive experience overall and I'm very grateful for the care and support the school has provided our family. I would definitely recommend Enlighten Pre School to other parents looking for a warm and supportive preschool.

Even during difficult times, the billing department was understanding and helpful as long as communication stayed open. I would highly recommend Enlighten to anyone looking for a warm, family-like environment where your child is cared for as if they were one of their own. Ms. Monisha, Ms. Trang, Ms. Deanna, Ms. May, Ms. Leslie, and all the teachers are so amazing. Any concern I had or shared they addressed it immediately and never made me feel like I was a burden. We love and miss this school so much. They have truly helped set a strong foundation for my daughter in her next path of school!

One of the things we love most is the incredible sense of community. Not only has our daughter made wonderful friends, but we have too! It truly feels like an extension of our family. The teachers are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's growth. Our daughter especially loves the outdoor adventures and sensory play, and it's been amazing to see how much she's learned through hands-on experiences. We're so grateful for the love, support, and memories we've made here over the years. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming preschool with amazing teachers and a strong community, we highly recommend this school!

APPS has been much more than a preschool for our family--it has become our community. Since we…read moredon't have a large extended family in San Jose, this school has given my daughter the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with other children, parents, and even grandparents. We love the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the creative, hands-on activities that inspire curiosity, scientific exploration, and creativity. A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful teachers, Ms. Sanyoo and Ms. Hamsa, for creating such a nurturing environment where every child feels seen, valued, and encouraged to grow. We are also deeply grateful to Ms. Cathy, whose Positive Discipline guidance has been an incredible source of support for our whole family. At APPS, not only do children learn and grow--parents do too. We feel truly fortunate to be part of this amazing community.

The teachers were patient, warm, and clearly understood how young children learn best through hands-on, self-directed exploration. We watched him grow from a toddler into a curious, confident little boy who loves learning, takes care of his things, and interacts beautifully with other kids. The classroom environment was calm, orderly, and full of thoughtfully chosen materials that kept him engaged. Communication with parents was always great, and we always felt like the staff genuinely cared about his individual growth. We're so grateful for our time there and would recommend it without hesitation to any family considering Montessori education for their little one.

Each of my girls thrived in their own way. The teachers took the time to understand their unique personalities and learning styles, creating a space where they felt both supported and challenged. Ms. Nisha was fortunately there for the full preschool term of both of my daughters, and I couldn't be happier about it. I fully trust her, and I know that both of my children learned so much thanks to her and the preschool director, Ms. Betty. One of the most valuable things Montessori Way taught my children is the ability to focus on a task. I saw this firsthand when my first daughter started kindergarten during COVID, with school fully online. While many children struggled to concentrate, she was able to stay engaged and work independently--and I truly credit that to her time at Montessori Way. I have no doubt that my second daughter will transition just as smoothly and thrive when she starts kindergarten in fall 2025.

My wife and I are both professionals and have volunteered in public education in secondary schools…read morefor the past 15 years. We were lucky that for the first 3 years of our daughter's life, we could rely on grandparents for complete childcare. When going to work, our minds were at ease knowing she had excellent care and attention at home. The downside was that at 3 years old, our daughter did not have much opportunity to socialize with other children or stay with an adult other than her grandparents or parents. We were, of course, concerned that the transition to childcare or school might be disastrous. I cannot be more satisfied with our decision to enroll our daughter at the Kinderwood School, San Jose CA. We began with the summer school option, enrolling her in a half day program, 5 days a week when she was 3 years and a few months old. This was the perfect transition for a child who had no experience of staying with other adults outside of family. Her cognitive, social, and emotional progress was visible immediately. That Fall, we enrolled her in a full day program in the 3-year-old class.A year later, and we are still so happy with our experience. Our daughter will be enrolled in the 4-year-old program. While the curriculum and academic expectations are indeed rigorous, the staff is so incredibly loving, caring, and nurturing. The instruction is given in a way that engages the students through music and art. The children genuinely have fun while they learn and appreciate the structure and routine. We are always impressed with the work our daughter brings home. She is only 4 and can print her name, blend letters to phonetically read and write 3-4 letter words, add and subtract numbers, and so much more. Her experience is not unique as most if not all the students in her class can do the same.On top of this, every staff member from the administration, secretarial staff and teachers are excellent. I feel as though I am leaving my child with family. This is an incredibly important feature to me as I need to feel as though I am leaving my daughter in loving and capable hands when I drop her off to go to work. We have bonded with a number of parents from her class and get together for the kid's birthday parties and other social events like Petting animals, field trips etc.I cannot imagine a better place for our child.
