Ms. Sidhu is phenomenal and potty trained both of my children when they barely turned 2! All of the teachers are kind, professional and very hard working. They make sure the children are happy and well taken care of. Holiday activities are awesome, and the kids have tons of fun during the Halloween parade and Xmas concert. Also, since lunch is provided, it's less stress the mornings for me! The staff treat you like family, and really get to know your child individually. The Director, Ms. Angela is wonderful and very prompt in her responses to any concerns. We love Pinole Montessori!

Nyisha and her team of teachers made learning fun, and integrated learning into hands-on activities and projects to the point that my kids will now fondly flip back through the optional workbooks they were each given and reminisce about picking oranges from the tree to make orange juice or making mud pies in the mud kitchen (I think the mud was imaginary, but am not quite sure - either way it's a fond memory for my kids). Their kindergarten teachers asked where they'd gone to preschool, and I could point directly back to the way that Nyisha and her team gently and consistently guided them towards developing critical thinking skills, skills like "how to look at the book the teacher is reading so you see the pictures before she turns the page despite being in a classroom full of other interesting and distracting children", and even how they approached toilet learning with us. Thanks again to the HG Learning Academy team!

I rarely write reviews, but SKA is a school that is worthy enough to brag about!…read more My daughter has been receiving the best care here. I decided to transfer her from a local preschool to Supreme Kids Academy a few months ago, and in just six months, I have noticed a significant difference in her learning, penmanship, and overall development. Before enrolling her here, I did a lot of research trying to find a great school for my little one. I can truly say she is receiving the best care and education in the Bay Area! Their staff and teachers are unmatched. As a mom who works in education, I can confidently say their curriculum and materials are advanced. There are a lot of local centers and schools that do not have the right resources, structure, or teachers to successfully run a great preschool. Every staff member is so sweet, caring, and attentive to my daughter. You can tell they have a prestigious hiring process because every single staff member carries the values of the school. Not only is my daughter receiving the best care and education here, but she is also receiving the highest level of safety. As a working mom, safety is extremely important to me. They have an app where they send updates throughout my daughter's day. I am in constant communication with them and receive alerts throughout the day, which is such a relief as a parent. With everything going on in schools today, it is comforting knowing your child is safe and receiving the best care when they are not with you. Our children are the future, and investing in their care and education at a young age is so important. We love SKA! Thank you to the entire staff and administration for creating such a loving, safe, and enriching environment for our children. We are beyond grateful to be part of the SKA family and truly appreciate the care, dedication, and hard work that goes into making this school so special.

This review is way overdue. Two of my children attended SKA. For us, Supreme Kids Academy, is like…read morea home away from home. SKA provides a loving and nurturing environment for all children. They provide breakfast, lunch and wholesome snacks included in the cost of tuition which was a huge help. They helped potty train both my boys in just a short few days and really work with families in developing a plan that works with each child. The cost of tuition is more than reasonable for the services provided. They offer additional enrichment opportunities through music, dance, karate, and gymnastics courses. I loved that my children had the opportunity to be exposed to these different programs during the course of the day as it wasn't always possible during after school hours with a full time job and other children. They offer special field trip days held at school which my children always looked forward to and still talk about (puppet shows, petting zoos, visits from dentist offices etc). Ms. Tia and Ms. Coco welcome the kids every morning and ensure a smooth drop off. It was a huge relief knowing my children were in the hands of such loving staff. My kids literally ran to them! Not to mention Ms Tia is a professional photographer so you will never have a better school picture! They communicate any concerns in a timely manner and I loved being able to check the app for picture updates throughout the day. I always felt any questions or concerns I had were also important to them and addressed promptly. I watched my children's confidence grow as they mastered a preschool curriculum. They learned how to make friendships and how to handle conflicts with the support of their teachers. I really can't say enough good things about SKA. The owners, administrators and teachers will always have a special place in our hearts. They provided me with the "village" that I didn't have and I am forever grateful.

We chose…read moreHope principally because of its location near our house and affordability; we ended up loving it for their good communication, community feel, openness, lovely outdoor space, kind teachers, and events. We have two children there - one has attended the program from 2 years of age to graduation, and the other from 8 months to current age of 3.5. Both of our kids really enjoy it there, have made good friends, and we feel they are becoming prepared academically for TK/kinder (knowing all letters/numbers up to 10 before entering TK). We really like that the school is integrated with the church, not because we are religious, but because it provides a greater sense of community. They do really cute Halloween, Christmas and graduation events in the church space. The school is very racially and socioeconomically diverse which we appreciate. The programming is pretty standard (by that I mean, don't expect the same child-centered, organic food only, education you might get by paying more elsewhere) but it has been a positive experience for both our kids.

The classrooms are well-equipped with age-appropriate Montessori activities, keeping her engaged and offering practice in various subjects like English, Math, Chinese, Science, and Art. She loves her teachers and often talks about them at home. I can see they are doing an excellent job teaching her not just academics, but also good behavior and independence. The teachers organize a variety of well-planned activities and events throughout the year for both US and Chinese holidays. Our family enjoys participating in these events, and we appreciate the many photos and videos shared with parents afterward to capture the memories. Another great feature of Little Tree is the optional lunch program. For $6 a day, they provide a tasty, nutritious, and balanced meal, which is one less thing for me to worry about.
