My daughter started school in the summer of 2024 and she could not be happier. All of the teachers…read morehere are caring, nurturing, and very happy to be working with kids. Her TK teacher, Ms. Swarnali, has really created an environment geared towards fostering a joy of learning. The kids do science experiments, arts, writing, reading and so much more. My daughter is leaps above other kids her age due to her TK with Ms. Swarnali!

I started my daughter in Preschool at Harper at 3.5. She had not been to school before, and I was…read moresuper nervous about this transition for her. She started with Ms Mamta, who was amazing with the transition. She was so patient and accommodating to all of her big feelings. She very quickly started loving school. She is currently in Ms Swarnali's class, and she has truly blossomed, she is truly exceptional! From the very beginning, Ms. Swarnali has created a warm, nurturing environment where she has felt safe, encouraged, and excited to learn. Ms. Swarnali consistently uses positive reinforcement to guide and motivate her students. Her approach has helped my daughter grow not only academically, but also emotionally. I've seen tremendous improvements in her confidence and the way she interacts with others -- changes that I credit directly to Ms. Swarnali's support and teaching style. It is clear that Ms. Swarnali is deeply committed to the well-being and development of her students. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as part of my daughters early learning journey.

TLC is a nurturing learning environment. All of the teachers are outstanding, you can truly tell…read morethat they care for the kids and want them to learn and be happy. Their curriculum is very well-rounded and my daughter loves coming here every day. There is a good mix of social, emotional learning, academics, art and physical activity in a very fun and thoughtful curriculum. The front desk ladies are always helpful and polite - both of my kids love Miss Kristi, Miss Lynn, and Miss Vicki. We are so thankful for our TLC family!

We absolutely LOVED TLC! My 2 kids, a boy and a girl, went there for a total of 5 years and I can't…read moresay enough about how much we loved our experience. Lynn, Kristi, Vicki, Elena, and every teacher we interacted with was always kind and supportive, with our kids' best interest at heart. We're still in touch, 5 years later! Both of our children attended, and my niece, and from day one it felt like a second home for them. The teachers are incredibly caring, attentive, and patient--they really take the time to get to know each child and celebrate their unique personalities. Our kids were always excited to go to school, and it was wonderful to watch them grow in confidence, kindness, and curiosity. The learning activities are creative and engaging, mixing play with meaningful lessons that helped prepare them for kindergarten while still letting them be kids. As parents, we were especially grateful for the open communication and the genuine love the staff shows for their students. It's clear that the whole team puts their heart into creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. The facility is beautiful, btw! We can't recommend TLC highly enough. Our kids felt happy and supported every day, and we feel so lucky to have found such a special place for their early years.

I want to start by highly recommending The Goddard School, San Ramon and sharing our experience…read more I'd give more stars if that were an option! Moving from another city with a young child was a big step for us. It felt overwhelming, but we were comforted by Anju, the owner of The Goddard School. She was incredibly kind and patient, understanding our family's needs. The transition was made so seamless and welcoming for us. Right from the beginning, even before our child started school, Anju made sure we had all necessary documents, giving us ample time and accommodating our busy schedule. About the school and its activities: The team is fantastic, and the teachers are well-educated. There are tons of activities, all following a curriculum-oriented approach. We receive daily updates on books read (in case we want to share them at home), songs sung, circle time, outdoor play, and fun indoor activities when the weather doesn't allow outside time. Activities range widely--baking bread, painting, dancing, creative play, and so much more. With these daily updates, we feel connected and well-informed about our child's day. This school is a very happy place filled with positive reinforcements and encouragement, and our daughter had a wonderful time here. We will miss the school and only wish we didn't live so far away. Hence, I highly recommend this school for any parent looking for a supportive environment that promotes overall development for their child. Thank you so much, Anju and the entire team! And a special thanks for Andrea and Vaidehi (Class teachers of Parrots)!!

We have both of our kids enrolled at Bright Minds Preschool, and we really love it. The teachers…read moreare incredibly patient and caring, which is great because our two kids are on the sensitive and shy side. They come home happy every day, and we feel very reassured leaving them there. The facilities are excellent--there's plenty of space, lots of toys, and so many activities for the kids to do. They've really learned a lot, from writing to drawing to crafts, and every day is something new. Another thing we really appreciate is the school's daily activity tracking app. It's extremely useful and helps us feel connected to our children's day. We can see photos, updates, what they ate, their naps, and all the little things they did. As parents, it's amazing to be able to check in and see their smiles throughout the day. We couldn't be happier with Bright Minds!

All my kids went here and we can't thank the teachers enough for all they have done for our 4 kids…read more I wish we sent them here sooner. My eldest went to a Montessori and didn't know how to read when she left the school. Her previous school would just give her a piece of paper with a letter on it to color and was sent home with that as homework. Sometimes, she'd get the same letter the same week. We switched all our kids here and this school has been a blessing. Now they're all excelling at their schools. 2/4 of my kids are GATE and this school was able to identify that early and helped guide us through the process.

Ms. Mona is one of the most dedicated teachers I've ever met. She has years of experience and…read morewisdom. She is truly invested in each child's growth, development and success. I have sent all three of my children to her over the years and we strongly recommend her school to anyone who is looking for a high quality academic program balanced with a nurturing and loving social emotional environment. Her preschoolers are well prepared for elementary school and are often doing kg/1st level work before they've even graduated preschool. She helped developed excellent foundations for all of my children before elementary school with an emphasis on manners and respect. Her program is reasonably priced as well.

We feel so lucky to have found Tassajara Montessori for our son and even more grateful that he's…read morehad Ms. Mona as his teacher. She's one of those rare teachers who truly puts her heart into everything she does. You can feel her passion and patience in the way she connects with each child. Our son has truly flourished in her class. He has grown not just academically, but also in confidence, independence, and how he interacts with others. Ms. Mona has this amazing way of nurturing each child's strengths while gently helping them grow in areas they need. She consistently reinforces good manners, kindness, and social awareness in such a natural, meaningful way. The values and life skills she's taught our son have laid a strong foundation that will stay with him for years to come. She's had such a lasting impact on our son. We can't wait to send our younger one to her and see him thrive the same way. We HIGHLY recommend her school to any parent looking for a thoughtful, empowering start to their child's educational journey.

As a dad, I couldn't be happier with our experience at this preschool. It truly shines in every way…read morethat matters to me -- the teachers are genuinely caring, the environment feels safe, there's wonderful flexibility for families, and the enrichment classes offered through third-party vendors are both varied and very reasonably priced. What really warms my heart are the daily photo updates through the parent portal. There's nothing quite like opening my phone and seeing my little girl learning, playing, and even pitching in to help make food during the day. She looks forward to Friday sharing day every single week, and she loves it so much that she sometimes asks to go to school on weekends just to play with her friends! She truly adores her teachers and friends. Even on mornings when she cries a little at drop-off because she'll miss Mom and Dad, she's quickly distracted and happy -- and sure enough, the photos later in the day show a smiling, joyful child having the time of her life. The biggest and most delightful surprise has been how much Chinese she's picked up. Her vocabulary and speaking ability have grown by leaps and bounds, and she can now switch effortlessly between English (with dad) and Chinese (with mom). Watching her communicate with such confidence in both languages makes me so proud. We're deeply grateful for the warm, nurturing environment this school gives our daughter every day.

My daughter has been here since she was 3, and she has had a wonderful time all around. She started…read morein the Purple Room and is now graduating from the Orange Room. All the teachers have been caring, responsible, attentive, and so much fun! She learned so much -- songs, dances, and knowledge that have given us the most precious memories and so much laughter. She would constantly surprise us with her alphabet and number skills! She learned the cutest Halloween dance in the Orange Room, and we had fun with it every day for months! Every morning she leaves for school with fuzzy hair like Anna waking up, and comes home from the Orange Room glowing like Elsa at her coronation -- because Ms. Krystal even takes care of her hair. I even learned how to do girls' hair from the Orange Room teachers! Special thanks to Ms. Krystal and Ms. Mridula (Orange Room) and Ms. Genna and Ms. Huma (Purple Room) for taking such exceptional care of her and teaching with incredible patience. A big thank you as well to the principals, Ms. Lena and Ms. Semma, for creating an exceptional school that offers a truly cultural-immersive experience and beautifully blends two cultures together. Our son is now on the waitlist to join next year, and knowing he will be in such good hands -- learning, growing, and having so much fun -- we are beyond excited for his journey to begin!

Our son started at Redwood International Montessori 2 years ago. He is 4 now and is flourishing at…read moreschool. He can write from 1-50, knows quite a bit of Spanish, "reads" to the other kids and has learned so much more than I could've anticipated. He's an outgoing child and likes to goof around. The teachers give him space to be silly and can also authoritatively but compassionately reign him in. I know he'll be more than prepared for Kindergarten. The teachers also plan family events throughout the year such as Mothers and Fathers Day celebrations, concerts, grandparents day, and student birthday celebrations. They incorporate many days where the kids can bring items from home to share (such as hike day at school, bring your favorite book, etc.). Our son is always excited for these days. The location of the school is very convenient for our family. It's near 680 but not so close that you hear it. It's across the street from an area with swim lessons, gymnastics lessons, and indoor soccer, so our son always says "hi" to his school when we're going to activities there. Tuition is very comparable to other preschools, but this school offers helpful drop-off and pick-up times for two working parents. Not many preschools in the area offer the same times.

Our daughter is 4.5 year old and started TRIMONT(The Redwood International Montessori) 4 months…read moreago. Long story short, after 4 months, more than 2/3 of her behavioral items, such as tantrum, difficulty in listening instructions, sharing with friends, etc, have been fixed and I can tell that even at our home. Our daughter loves her school, and is happy to go there everyday. The director Ms. Annagi has almost 40 years of experience in Montessori education. Other teachers (Ms. Yessania, Ms. Laxmi, Ms. Evelyn) are also very experienced. They know how to deal with problems of kids, and they guide kids to the right path without yelling or being frustrated. I saw that their tone of voice was calm but had discipline and charisma. Teachers are very communicative and always opened to discuss issues of children. If there's any issue, they give brief verbal report with advice when I pick her up. Also, the education of TRIMONT is well-balanced and well-organized. They give the monthly schedule filled with daily themes and focuses, and follow the schedule accordingly. Of course since it's Montessori school, each student learns by their own pace when it comes to phonics, math and other Montessori work, but they all learn various topics together which covers science, culture, art, geography, season, etc. Our 4.5 year old daughter already reads Kindergarten-level books, recognizes and writes numbers from 1-50, can even complete addition and subtraction. When we had a private conference before Thanksgiving holidays, they gave us a thorough assessment sheet about our daughter. We could easily understand her status and things she needs to learn more until Kindergarten. I'm very satisfied with TRIMONT, and would definitely recommend this school to others in area.

My son attended Dayspring from age 2 to 4 1/2 years old and it was one of the best decisions I…read morehave ever made. Aside from having the most flexible schedule choices compared to other local preschools, they have the best teachers. My son moved from room 1 up to room 3 during his time there.

My son loved Dayspring so much, it was hard to get him to leave at the end of each day. :) We will surely miss Dayspring, as they became like family. I recommend this preschool to any parent looking for their child age 2-5.
