    The Learning Tree in Livermore is such a wonderful school! The teachers are caring, patient, and…read moretruly dedicated to the children's growth and happiness. They create a warm, welcoming environment where kids feel safe and excited to learn every day. I've seen so much growth and confidence in my 3-year-old daughter since starting here. A huge plus for us has been the onsite enrichment programs, like soccer and Spanish class, which means we don't have to spend our evenings driving around town for extra activities. Also, the live camera access is a much appreciated added bonus that our last daycare didn't have.

    As a former parent of a child who was enrolled at this school, I wanted to write my review based on…read morefacts and what I observed at the school during that time. There were good things about this school but over the last several months, something at the school has changed. These are my views and based on knowledgeable firsthand facts. Lack of Proper Oversight - The school has been hit by licensing several times over the last 6 months (details and sign up of alerts can be found here https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/carefacilitysearch/FacDetail/013421352). The staff will constantly turn their backs, be on their phone, stand in areas that block views, and leave children unattended constantly. For example, I picked up my son in late March (5ish) and the number of kids was 18 for one teacher, all different ages playing outside on the playground. Also, I dropped off my son last week (8:20 am), and noticed the number of kids was 30+ but only two teachers were outside (Ratio is supposed to be 12-1). I have noticed a constant repetitive pattern, and it looks like other parents have communicated these same issues to licensing. Lack of Proper Teaching - During afternoon nap time, I signed my son up for additional academic learning programs that were offered. This program, Early Explorers, was designed to provide additional education to kids that were dropping their naps. It wasn't a free choice and required parents to pay extra. Over the last six months, the program went from fun academic learning to additional free play outside. During their free play outside, nothing academic or educational was provided, it was only more play outside on the playground. When questioned about why I was paying for a program that was advertised as additional learning opportunities, an excuse about lunch breaks was communicated to me. Lack of Proper Intervention / Regulation - During my time there, multiple reports were communicated to me about my son's incidents. During these incidents it was made clear that teachers were not properly trained in the right child development techniques and were constantly intervening when situations escalated to the highest levels. For example, my son had several incident reports for physical violence, when questioned about the lead up to the situation, it was clear that my son communicated he needed another child to respect his space. The teacher watched my son communicate multiple times that my son needed space, intervening after things escalated physically between the two children. During another incident, I questioned the teacher asking things like "can you tell me more about when and how you stepped in?" or "Can you provide me with facts leading up to the situation?", which caused teachers to not provide adequate details about the situation. Lack of Communication to parents by the Owner and Leadership - A situation came up last year where parents were passing around a picture of my son being restrained by a teacher. That picture was provided to me six months later when another parent asked about the situation, thinking I knew about it. Nothing was communicated to me by leadership or the owner until I comforted them about it. When asked why this wasn't brought to my attention, the excuse "an internal investigation happened" was used. Then questioned again on why I wasn't made aware of this, the comments "well the child's parents were notified", I was the parent of the child, and it was clear Leadership was trying to keep it from us.

She comes home every day with something new she's learned and it's been such a joy to see her confidence and personality just bloom! Ms Brooke is the BEST! Sending your first baby out into the world is terrifying but the staff at Storyland, especially Ms Brooke, goes out of their way to be warm, enthusiastic and welcoming in the morning to ensure for an all-smiles drop off. We are just blown away with all that our daughter has learned at Storyland so far! Traditional academics aside, they also go over emotions, baking/cooking, responsibilities and public speaking and so much more. We recently attended a tour for the TK-12 school we are looking at for her next, and we were so proud that nearly everything on the curriculum for the TK/K classes, she's already learned this past year. We love that our daughter is being set up for success with all that she is learning at Storyland! Can't recommend this place enough!

He is in kindergarten now but loved going to Storyland everyday. We now have our daughter there daily and she loves all the teachers as well. We have loved all the teachers we have had especially those that have stayed and been a comfort and familiarity to us through the years- Miss Brooke, Miss Nancy, both Miss Brittney's, Miss Aaliyah, and Miss Patty. We hate two drop offs but can't imagine sending our daughter anywhere else so we keep doing it for Storyland!!!

Robyn helped us potty train her easily and it's been such a loving nurturing environment. LPS staff has been our second family. The teachers are the reason why we chose to bring her here. Teacher Serena deserves a special acknowledgement as she navigated online distance learning in 2020. It was a tough year when she started kindergarten but LPS did an amazing job providing a nurturing and navigating through all the complexities due to COVID. I can't thank them all enough for everything they've done. We also have two little girls both in LPS in teach Sara's class and with Teacher Kathy and Becky! Our girls LOVE LPS. The staff has been there for 20+ years and even teacher Evelyn who retired comes back every now and then to help out when needed. She does this because she loves the kiddos. Robyn is now the Director which is fantastic she's been a teacher for many years and has always communicated effortlessly. Our kids love all the teachers but they absolutely adore teacher Stacey. They talk about her all the time and even ask for play dates and sleepovers with her, that's awesome!!! We are so happy with this preschool and blessed to call it our kiddos second home/family

The preschool has flexible hours and works with parents to accommodate their schedules. The staff and teachers are experienced, friendly, and supportive. The school and parent board works hard to plan fun, family-friendly activities- like movie nights, carnivals, and class plays. Through the pandemic the preschool has taken precautions to keep our kids and families safe; their communication and transparency has been greatly appreciated. My favorite part about my experience with LPS has been the friendships I've made with the other parents and the life-long friendships my kids will have. Oh, and the art projects the kids bring home are amazing!!

    This review is for their second location Free To Be Me 2 on Marina Ave. Our 5 and 7 year olds both…read morestarted going here a few weeks ago and we are so happy there so far. This is our first experience with daycare so we were a little nervous even though the girls are older now. It's only been a few weeks but I can't say enough good things about Miss Tiffany who runs the before/after school program for school aged children. We were a little nervous as the girls have always been with a nanny or family but the transition has been smooth. You can tell that Miss Tiffany really cares about the kids and my daughters both really connected with her. The facility is a bit older and still a work in progress as they settle in, so if you are looking for something sparkly and new this isn't the spot for you. If you are looking for a place that has a lot of space for a smaller amount of kids (compared to other day cares and ESS), feels quiet and serene and has someone you can rely on to care for your children then I'd definitely recommend Free To Be Me 2.

All of the teachers are loving, caring, wonderful people. The kids loved going there and often didn't want to leave. It is nice too that there are enough kids that they are in different aged rooms. We moved out of the area and were so sad to leave since they had become like family. I highly recommend them.
