My daughter has been going to the Tutoring Center for math classes. When she joined two months ago, she had severely low self confidence, was afraid of math and, in fact, resisted the idea of getting help. Last evening she told me on the drive back home that she feels much more confident about her math skills now...earlier she used to hate talking about anything remotely connected to math, now she makes multiplication flash cards in her spare time. I thank the entire team at the Tutoring Center for building up her self-esteem! The work they do is so much more than just teach the subject area.

We are lucky to have had both our kids go through Children's House of Los Altos (CHLA) and get such…read morea great foundation! CHLA offered our kids a perfect balance of freedom to follow their curiosity within a rich, loving guided framework that provided structure. Besides it being a great school for all the obvious reasons like loving and caring teachers, to a well rounded development of the kids' reading/math/science/motor skills, the school also has an amazing art program and music classes. I could talk in length about each of these (e.g. I was shocked when my 4 year old came back home once and started talking about Frank Lloyd Wright and Fallingwater! And another time was shocked how my child was able to basically do multiplication at the age of 4, but not by rote - by understanding the concept of how multiplication is basically addition over and over again). But let me move on because there is one program that deserves a special mention - its called CEC (Cognitive Enrichment Class) and what it is is a term-length project where kids get to build something and be involved in all aspects of that building, and learn about various scientific and technical elements of that. For my son and daughter it was designing their very own wooden cars for a derby race. They spent months designing the car and decorating it and learning about concepts like ramps, and friction, and aerodynamic shapes, and so on. And it all ended in a derby event where all the kids in their class got to bring their cars and the race happened. The kids even measured how far various cars went to put the hypotheses they had developed over the course of the project to the test :) The CEC program basically was the main reason why we kept our younger child in CHLA for one extra year instead of sending her to TK at our local public school. CEC is such an amazing idea - giving kids at such a tender age this opportunity to sink their teeth into a long term project and really grapple with a problem from multiple angles is simply incredible! The school is truly a special place which was started decades ago by a lovely teacher who cared about children and their development. The tradition is being continued by her children and besides education, there is also a focus on the Parent-Teacher-Child community. Through the course of the year there are numerous super fun traditions that bring the teachers and kids and the parents together. Events like the annual Nutcracker show that the kids act in and the teachers put together, the Hoedown event in a local farm where the kids sing and dance and the parents are invited to have a picnic, the Haunted House event around halloween time when the entire school is magically transformed into a maze filled with surprise (and scary) characters, the Music Together concert, the Sip & See where kids walk the parents through their art and the event happens outdoors in a setting that could put an exhibition at the MOMA to shame, and everything else that we have grown to love to dearly! When we were looking for pre-schools for our elder child we had looked at numerous schools in the area and nothing felt right. Some felt overly strict and others were very la-di-dah. And then we chanced upon CHLA which almost felt like a Goldilocks moment, with the right balance of structure and freedom. Now that we've been through the program (twice), we feel that it really is the perfect blend of those elements. We are filled with gratitude for having had both our kids go through CHLA!

We had two children that spent a total of 5 years at Children's House and they came out of the experience very well educated (e.g. over-prepared for Kindergarten), socially mature, and happy. The teachers, staff, and leadership at Children's House are absolutely fantastic and were incredible partners to my wife and I in caring for our children and ensuring their safety + educational, social, and physical growth while at the school. The school and all the priceless memories it provided for our family will always hold a special place in our hearts and they also helped ensured our children were prepared to get into the school of their choice following Children's House, which was a huge cherry on top. Can't say enough wonderful things about Children's House and you can be sure your child will be well cared for there!

My son started off with a strong foundation in this program, and for the first couple of months, things felt really promising. But after the holidays, everything fell apart. We were unassigned from a tutor and left waiting on one teacher's return, while the interim tutor had no understanding of my son's needs and just gave him random, unstructured exercises. There was no communication, no continuity, and no accountability. The only meeting we had was one that I had to chase down and schedule. At that meeting, I was told we'd receive a follow-up by the end of March. It's now almost the end of April. I followed up again and was told someone would reach out. No one did. What's most frustrating is that we were sold a program that included regular performance check-ins, progress updates, and personalized support tailored to my son's executive functioning challenges. We completed all the onboarding and surveys with that in mind. None of that actually happened. The gap between what we were promised and what we received is massive, and this is after paying thousands of dollars each month. We were sold a dream: a well-rounded, thoughtful, and attentive program. What we got was inconsistency, poor communication, and a lack of care during a time my son genuinely needed reliable support. Parents, please be cautious. If you're looking for structure, follow-through, and actual accountability, I would not recommend working with this business.

Warning! Something has significantly changed with this company, and I am warning families to be…read morecareful with signing up for automatic payments or subscriptions. After cancelling our subscription, due to the issues listed below, we were told the payment would be refunded. Instead, they billed the next session to our credit card. After multiple attempts to reach someone with the authority to refund both payments, I finally called the credit card company to dispute and stop payment. Again, with many many emails and unreturned phone calls, even to the CEOs, the bank was able to settle the dispute after almost 6 months. The owners may be Harvard Grads, but something does not feel quite right, and they do not seem to be active in the business. After a year of sessions, I asked for an assessment of our daughter's progress. We received what seemed like a lot of "mumbo jumbo" of data and words, without evidence of progress that we could track. Within a week following the assessment, our daughter's tutor, with whom she had built a good relationship, was let go. With no notice, she was assigned a new tutor, and the only time slot they could offer was late Friday evening. We decided it was not a substantial value, so we cancelled. Eventually the site closed.

Dinesh in particular is amazing. He brings so much wisdom and experience to his work with children and families. Beyond caring for the kids, he shared thoughtful guidance with us on parenting, including how to navigate sibling dynamics, which we found incredibly helpful. He has a very calming, grounding presence, and we especially appreciated that he was able to notice and point out things that were worth paying attention to. That combination of warmth, insight, and experience is rare. We're very grateful for the care and support our son received here, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this preschool to other families.

My son attended PAMS from age 2 to 3.5, and we had a truly wonderful experience there…read more He came home every week excited to show us all kinds of handmade projects like paper cows and snakes, drawings, shapes, and even letters he practiced writing. It was very special to watch his creativity and confidence grow over time. PAMS also organizes many fun events throughout the year, especially during the summer. Some of my son's favorites were the cooking classes, gymnastics, dance activities, and visits from fire trucks and police cars. The campus itself is warm, cheerful, and filled with things young kid naturally like, e.g sand boxes What stood out most to us was the kindness and care from the staff and teachers. They are incredibly warm and attentive with the children. Whenever we traveled for more than a couple of weeks, by the second week my son would start saying he missed his school, friends, and teachers. While PAMS is not the type of school that sends daily photo updates, they do keep thoughtful photo albums from school events and activities. Some of those photos are very meaningful to us, especially from when my son first joined the school. I still remember seeing a picture of his teacher holding his hand during a police car visit while he was adjusting to a much larger class than his previous daycare. Moments like that gave us a lot of reassurance as parents. We ultimately left only because we applied to the early learning center of an elementary school we were interested in, and to our surprise, our son was accepted. During that transition, Dinesh was also incredibly supportive and kindly helped by writing evaluation letters for us, which we truly appreciated. Otherwise, we likely would have stayed at PAMS through the kindergarten years. We are very grateful for the care, warmth, and joyful early childhood memories they gave our son.

After 5 days of the new school, our little family decided to drive a distance just so our daughter can be back @ Canterbury Christian School. Canterbury is where she thrives, grow, learn, & be happy. The other school was very nice, but they are missing a detailed education curriculum, discipline, sincere care for every child from all teachers & staff, mannerism, respect, a very different culture. Canterbury Christian School has a much higher standard in education & culture than a typical Christian school. There is no comparison. They are like family. The Canterbury parents are extremely friendly with Christian values. The Canterbury culture is exceptional & therefore I & our little family would recommend this school to all. Your child's core foundation will affect them for the rest of their lives so picking the right school is extremely important. We are thankful to comeback to the Canterbury Family!
