Pick up and drop off is so convenient, even with Cathy managing full safety protocols. The single best thing (aside from providing and safe and caring place to learn!) is that Cathy provides all meals and snacks. Our daughter is a picky eater, but she was trying so many nutritious foods at Cathy's and it was one less thing to worry about each day. There is a curriculum that is just enough for small children to meet milestones but also pursue their own interests with an emphasis on play.

When we first toured it was magical walking along the trails and stopping under the canopies of trees to read, draw, explore and the program is thoughtfully prepared with learning stations and developmental opportunities.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Montara Kaimana School. My daughter absolutely loves…read moreit! The teachers, Pamela and Hannah, are thoughtful, kind and basically magical. They make all of us (kids and parents) feel seen and heard, and they really make the kids feel special. Communication is huge for me, and from the moment I reached out to Pamela, she has been quickly responsive, communicative, and always takes the time to answer questions. Nature school provides so many wonderful outside of the box learning opportunities (for the kids, but also for me!). They learn through play and observation and teamwork, and in the 5 months my daughter has attended, I've noticed her communication about feelings and body awareness has really improved, as well as her problem solving skills. I was certainly a little nervous to send my daughter out in the rain, but I have to say, the rainy days have truly been her favorite school days! The kids LOVE to play in the mud! My toddler likes to hang out and play too! It really is true what they say; if you are properly clothed the weather doesn't seem so bad. The pick up/drop off location is breathtakingly beautiful and I feel pretty grateful that I get to experience it alongside my kids. And the best part for me? The teachers send a weekly report, complete with pictures, about what they all did throughout the week. They include the songs they sang, the mindfulness activities, quotes from the kids, the books they read, etc. I look forward to it every week. I hope that I can encourage more families to try it out, because this school is a blessing.

It has been amazing as they provide transportation from school to Big Bird which is a huge help.

All the teachers and staff are friendly and great with the kids. Highlights of the school include: Small teacher to student ratio; also the students form a tight bond with the small class.

Now my Kindergarten student attends a weekly pod at the Coastside Moss Beach location and we are really happy to be sending her. The location--Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and the neighboring forest--is spectacular, and I am constantly being surprised at the random nature knowledge she casually spits out. They visit the tidepools whenever the tides allow, make secret hideouts in the trees, make dams in the sand, etc. I wish I could go to forest school!

My daughter attended over a year ago, and we still talk about the special memories made there. From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, patient, and truly understand early childhood development. They not only taught my child the basics--letters, numbers, shapes--but also encouraged kindness, independence, creativity, and confidence. The school is always clean, organized, and filled with fun, engaging materials. Every week brought exciting themes, hands-on activities, and adorable art projects that filled our walls at home. My child especially loved music time and outdoor play in the safe and spacious yard. Even after graduating, my child still asks to go back and visit. That says everything to me. Thank you, Little People Preschool, for giving our family such a positive start to our educational journey. If you're looking for a warm, enriching preschool in a caring environment, I highly recommend this gem of a school.

Short story: Little Star Preschool Too is a fantastic choice because of the campus size, location,…read moreincluded meals, and most importantly, the teachers and educators who care so so much for your little ones! Long story: Little Star Preschool Too was my top choice from the beginning when I was touring preschools. I was delighted to see the campus (plenty of parking spots, quiet neighborhood, residential location and close to restaurants for afterschool pick up)! The preschool is large and has a huge yard for the children to play in during "recess" and at the end of the day. I think the actual amount of land they have for a school is impressive as the children are able to get their wiggles out without having to travel to a local park. While I was dazzled by the tour of the campus, I was absolutely amazed by the teachers and staff! They are all genuinely loving and greatly care about the well-being of the children! I am always greeted with a smile by each of the staff members during drop off. My child has so much fun playing with her peers and the large variety of toys, doing daily arts and crafts, eating their provided lunch and learning new subjects! She took a little bit of time to warm up to being in school and her teacher was so patient with her, spending extra time with her to help her transition. Other teachers and staff would step in to help out too if her teacher was not immediately available for help. Not only does the school teach "regular subjects" like letter recognition and counting, they also teach real life skills like what streetlights and stop signs are used for! (The school had a cute field trip around the neighborhood teaching the children about road safety). There are also a lot of extra features added to the curriculum to help enrich the children's education. There were dance performances, field trips, readings from books regarding different cultural festivals and traditions. The school is just so awesome and I am very happy with my choice. Thumbs up!

I chose Little Star Preschool for my toddler for many reasons:…read more- Full day care (dropoff as early as 7:30 a.m., though the school day starts shortly after 9 a.m.; pickup by 5:30 p.m.) and instruction is year-round. - Mid-year entry (my son started in January) - A large play yard and clean, bright indoor spaces - Meals and snacks are included (you send your kid with a lunchbox with sides, and they provide the main dish) Most importantly, my toddler is pretty shy around new people and slow to warm. I appreciated that Little Star Preschool encouraged multiple playdate visits before he officially started, so that he could get used to the space and staff. All of the teachers were kind, patient, and gentle with him as he transitioned from a small daycare to preschool. They allowed him time to adjust and let him just observe at first, as he preferred, while holding onto his stuffy. His language skills have really exploded (I love hearing him repeat, "Wake up, little bodies!") and I know he's cared for while learning and playing.

We have seen them both develop their social skills, and learn all of the basics that will set them up for success in elementary school. Our older son graduated last year and is now in Kindergarten at our local school. We can see how invaluable the foundational skills from Happy Campers have been, and we are immensely grateful for that. I would say the one big thing that sets Happy Campers apart from other preschools/daycares are the amazing teachers. They are all so patient and kind and caring, and they create a happy and supportive environment for all the kids. As a parent, of course I love my kids, but I really feel that their teachers do too. If you are looking for a place where your kid will feel loved, and you as a family will feel like you are part of a community, then Happy Campers is the place for you!
