    I am writing this review as a parent who has been part of the Montessori Five Canyons community…read moresince 2023. My oldest child started here at age 3 and is proudly graduating Kindergarten this year, while my second child started at 18 months in 2025 and is now thriving at age 3 and will be staying here for another three years. We specifically sought out this school because it is a true Montessori-accredited school. Many places use the "Montessori" name, but obtaining and maintaining actual accreditation requires an immense amount of time, money, and resources. While this makes tuition slightly higher than that of a standard daycare, you are paying for a high-quality educational environment, not just babysitting. My children have thrived here emotionally and academically. I trust Ms. Martha and her team implicitly. I cannot recommend this school enough to parents who want a traditional, high-standard Montessori education. If you are considering enrolling and want a real, honest conversation from a long-term parent, please feel free to DM me. It is disheartening to see "hit piece" reviews that don't reflect the daily reality of the happy, engaged children I see every time I am on campus. Many of these complaints sound like a misunderstanding of the Montessori philosophy. During the initial tours, the Director, Ms. Martha, is incredibly transparent about how the school runs. If you look closely at the complaints, most people actually admit they like the teachers and the Director, Ms. Martha. It seems the real issues stem from financial disagreements or a lack of understanding of the Montessori method. As a business owner myself, I know that an organization cannot simply "turn off" its own reviews. If Google restricts reviews, it is because they have identified that the school is being targeted by unauthentic or coordinated "smear" reviews. To me, that speaks volumes about the validity of the recent negativity.

    The 5 stars are for the Happiness Hill Preschool (HHP) teachers and the love they have for the job…read moreand the love they pour into the kids! My child has been to a few different daycare programs, including one that's literally 2x the price (Bright Horizons). However, HHP is the only place where my partner and I felt all the teachers (that we've met thus far) have a genuine passion for the kids. At a previous daycare, my child only talked about one teacher who seemed to really care, who unsurprisingly was the only teacher we felt actually enjoyed her job as a preschool teacher. However, at HHP, my child raves about all the teachers. There is a glaring weakness at HHP though, and that's the administration team. Unfortunately, other Yelp feedback about the slow and sometimes lack of responses (via phone or email) are true in my experience. Phone calls or emails go unanswered for days or weeks at a time, if at all. Fortunately, interaction with the admin office are mostly unnecessary after the child is actually enrolled. I'm hoping this area will be improved! If there are any "emergencies" or issues with my child at school, the teachers are very good about either calling or emailing us. And teachers are timely in their responses to our proactive emails to them as well. All in all, HHP has been a very positive place for my child.

    I loved Happiness Hill so much that I sent my son 5 years later. He was loved and cared for. I was…read moreso sad when he graduated but he was prepared for kindergarten and loves to learn. This school has been a blessing for our family.

My little girl started at Miss Helen's at the age of 3 and stayed for two years. Thanks to the preschool's early focus on math and reading, my daughter had already met or 95% of her requirements at her assessment by October, two months into the school year. Her kindergarten teacher was so impressed she asked for the preschool's address and contact info so she could check it out herself for her own son. Now we're in Spring and my daughter is still flourishing and exceeding all expectations for the Common Core curriculum, and I know a lot of it is thanks to her foundation she built in preschool. Going beyond just the educational requirements, my daughter loved the preschool, her teachers, her classmates, and all the activities. The school is very clean and organized, and the children are taught to maintain that. All the students are guided not just in learning their basic manners with "please" and "thank you", but also just showing kindness and acceptance for all. The schedule is well-structured for kids, and even separated for a period for the kids preparing for kindergarten. My daughter still asks to visit Miss Helen's on days off, and pulls out the little photo album Miss Helen made of her and her friends, a little gift Miss Helen was so kind enough to make for every graduating student.

    My daughter just finish been in preschool with Miss Helen, and I have to say that within the few…read moreweeks of her starting she learn how to spell her name and started to identify the shapes and etc and also been more interactive with her classmates as she was shy at first because of the language barrier but everything worked out amazing she even learn more English and she felt more confident. Miss Helen's prioritizes safety of the children and manages classroom dynamics. She truly cares about the students and works hard to make sure everyone is happy and is learning. I am beyond happy from all that she learn been with Miss Helen since 2021-2023. As now that she is in kindergarten her teachers are very happy on how she strives.

    Both of our boys attended EBM since they were 2.5 to 3 years old, and they both absolutely love it…read morethere. Both of our children had Ms. Blanca as their primary teacher. As a parent, there are a few things that we absolutely adore about EBM. First and foremost, Ms. Blanca genuinely cares about our children and understands their learning journey. She knows exactly what our children are learning and how to support them in specific areas. Secondly, they serve a delicious hot lunch and healthy snacks daily. Thirdly, the EBM team is incredibly easy to reach out to whenever we have questions about our children or the school. Ms. Sithy, the director, is also open to suggestions and always strives to improve, creating the best school and environment for the children. Lastly, we appreciate the monthly newsletter, which provides us with valuable updates from the teachers about the topics and subjects they are teaching our children that month. Our children seem to learn new things constantly, but they also maintain a healthy balance between their studies and playtime. They have developed excellent social skills and make friends easily at EBM. Both children started as timid and shy, but they have learned to overcome their shyness and make friends. They always come home excitedly sharing the new things they have learned. My oldest child is now a first grader at a local elementary school. Having my first child go through the entire preschool journey and transition into elementary school, I can confidently say that EBM prepared my son exceptionally well for Kindergarten. While each child is unique, my son was well-prepared and possessed all the essential skills required for kindergarten and beyond.

    I'm genuinely glad that some families have had a positive experience with this school, because ours…read morefell far short of five stars. My family has been part of the Montessori community in the Castro Valley / Hayward area for roughly seven years. To be blunt, our youngest son can be a challenging child. He doesn't always listen, he has tantrums when he's frustrated, and he was very resistant to potty training. Montessori philosophy is built on meeting children where they are, which is exactly why we believed he would benefit from the same environment that helped our older son thrive. We enrolled him at Early Bird with that expectation. Unfortunately, that's not what happened. The issues began on day one. We were immediately told that our 3 year old's lack of potty training was a problem and that the school "doesn't do potty training." Not only had we disclosed this on the application, but the school accepts children as young as 18 months. This was our first sign that expectations and reality were not aligned. Over the following months, the complaints escalated into allegations of aggressive behavior: biting, scratching, hair pulling, and hitting. The school began sending him home but yet could not provide clear details about what triggered the incidents. The incident reports were vague and the lead teacher was unable to answer basic questions about what actually happened. With about two months left on our contract, we received an "Formal Probation Notice" just days after submitting our intent to re‑enroll as a fallback while searching for a better fit. The notice required our son to undergo a professional behavioral evaluation. Anyone familiar with this process knows that obtaining an evaluation, scheduling assessments, and receiving compiled results cannot be done in 30 days. In the childcare industry, this is widely recognized as a soft expulsion. We recently completed the evaluation, and the results confirmed what we suspected: he has no developmental or behavioral disorders. The IEP recommended only speech therapy. The findings stated that the most likely cause of the behavioral issues was environmental, originating in the classroom itself. Our son is now in a better school where he gets the attention he needs. He is now fully potty trained and is getting along great with his peers. All he needed was some attention which EBM was not capable or willing to give him. If you still interested in EBM, make sure you read their contract and handbook. Ask them to supply their teachers' and school's Montessori credentials. Talk to them openly about their student to teacher ratio and how they handle difficult children. We found it to be inadequate for our son's needs. Good luck.
