I spent a long time looking for a preschool for my son (researching, tours) - and I'm so glad I found Milpitas Christian preschool. They really care about your children here. Everyone from the teachers to the staff to the principal- they're the best people ever! They genuinely love all the children. I've watched my kid grow from his first day when he wanted to go home to a kid who can't wait to go to school every morning. He even asks me to pick him up later so he can play longer with his friends! My son started pre-pandemic and continued through virtual and then back on campus- so we've seen how MCS has dealt with change and the obstacles covid-19 threw at them and wow they were amazing. They really stepped up to the challenge every step of the way. They exceeded all expectations and then some. They always helped me get to the point where I was comfortable with things and went above and beyond in every stage of the pandemic. They were amazing pre-covid but they really shined during covid. Their virtual learning was so good and the teachers (Mr. Urbach) were able to adapt so well! We went back on campus in September - and they made us feel as safe as they could - following social distancing protocols, constantly cleaning, etc- while providing such a great education and support system for my child and myself! It has been a struggle this year for everyone but the love and support and the dedication that the staff and the teachers have provided for me and my family has been amazing and I don't think can ever properly express how thankful I am for them. Also- logistically as a preschool their schedule is amazing and the kids really get to learn about themselves and Math and literature and the Bible. It's a good balance of play and fun and learning and they get to do so much art! They have a lot of activities to help develop their fine and gross motor skills. Not only does MCS provide a good education but they also provide a good foundation in helping these young children be confident and caring young individuals. They definitely give them all the tools both academically and socially for them to succeed- which seems like it'll be a great foundation for them as they move forward in life. read more

I really wanted to give this school 5 stars, but i was so disappointed in our experience this year. i think if your child attends the morning or all day session, you would have a great experience. and I would recommend this preschool to anyone looking for that time slot. but for us, my child was in the afternoon session. it was great in the beginning of the year. i saw a lot of progress and the teachers are wonderful. you can tell that the kids are cared for. but after the start of the new year, they took out some of the older kids from the all day class they kept piling in more and more new younger kids in the afternoon class. this class was supposed to be a 4 yr old class to prep for kindergarten. now over half the class are 2 and 3 year olds. the poor teacher is stuck with bored 4 yr olds and younger kids that can't keep up. no one is really learning anything new. the director was showing around a new aide and i overheard her refer to the class as the "buffet class". not sure if that's something to be proud of! if the school is going to advertise a 4 yr old program, they should stick with it throughout the whole year. I'm just am really disappointed. i was hoping to send my younger one here, but now i think I'll have to look elsewhere. read more

My 2 sons have very good experience in Milpitas Christian Preschool. MCS offers a caring environment, and the teachers are all nice and with patience. My kids always come back home happily telling me what they learned at school every day, and how much they love MCS. I do appreciate MCS taking care of my sons very well. It's a preschool I can fully trust. read more

Truly the best preschool in Bay Area! Very patient and warm director and teachers always loved and cared your child from their heart. Especially on the first day of my 2-year-old crying for mommy, the teacher always hugged him until he calmed down and felt safe. They also have done the best protocol during covid-19 pandemic compared to many other preschools I toured. The teachers sanitized the environment/playground/toys very frequently and watched every kid to wear their masks properly. When kids are having snack/lunch without the mask, they will be seated 6-ft apart. This is a preschool parents can truly rely on. I would definitely send my kid to this preschool again if time turns back. read more

Thank you Kelvin D. I should have trusted your review when I came across this ALL-ABOUT-MONEY school. From what i have experienced , There is absolutely no communication via phone or letter or email between parents and the school after they got your money and bank account. I think all they care is just $$$$, not your little precious children. Moreover, Racism is another ethnic issue for this school. Needed me say more?? CHRISTIAN!!! There should be no culture, race and religion differences when it comes to education in a preschool! My life lesson and also experience from this CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IS CHRISTIAN= PROFIT= MONEY . They know a lot of cheap, divious way to get your money in the ecomomy like this. PLEASE BEWARE!!! read more

My son is in kindergarten at MCS now, after a year in TK and a year at their fantastic preschool. He went from being shy and withdrawn, always needing an adult nearby, to being outgoing and even gregarious in dealing with adults and other children. He is reading at a level way ahead of what we expected for him at this age, and he loves to learn and he loves the Lord. I am looking forward to when he is older and gets to take part in the exciting Outdoor Education programs that occur every year from grades 4 to 8, and the annual 8th grade DC trip in his final year at the school. I am hopeful that the school will add on a high school in the future, so that my son can continue with the excellent education provided by MCS. read more

We had planned on sending our child here from preschool through 8th grade and were so excited when our child was accepted into this school. However, when our child's safety was in SERIOUS jeopardy due to the poor judgement of one of the teachers, I met with the preschool director who did little to nothing to resolve this issue. We were forced to remove our child from this school. read more

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this school!!! My 3 year old daughter started Preschool here last October and she has grown by leaps and bounds! Her vocabulary is amazing for a 3 year old and it amazes me to see that she knows how to draw, cut and color in the lines! She is exposed to different cultures as well as learning about Christ. We are a Christian family and it's so important for us that she is learning all of this! She says grace at the table and tells us all about Jesus and God. The teachers (Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Vise) are WONDERFUL. I couldn't ask for anything better. I have a 5 month old daughter and she will be going to MCS too! This is a grade A school!!! read more

This school deserves more good reviews. Thanks for all people working hard to keep this school a great school for kids. My daughter is happy and we are too. Keep up the good work and I'll recommend all my friends to send their kids to this school. read more

My oldest daughter attended MCS and my youngest is now going. This school is wonderful to say the least! My oldest daughter enjoyed each and every day at school and had a hard time leaving this caring and loving environment. My youngest one is having a hard time going to school and quite a few adjustment issues. The school is going above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and to help her transition easier. We LOVE Mrs. Tang and Ms. Jen and the school director and staff are absolutely wonderful. This is a great place for little people to learn and grow. I would give it 10 stars if I could. read more

I think in most part, it depends on the teachers. I feel how this school is run is great but that's just 1/2 of it. We enrolled our first child last year here because the low student teacher ratio, the caring staff, and the WELL shaded playground. I liked that it was a well rounded curriculum and not so academic driven. Mrs. Dennis and the aide took the extra effort to address my kid's areas of concerns. They even updated me daily until he adjusted to the class. This year we were excited to enroll our next child but only to find out that Ms. Dennis is no longer there. In this class, I didn't feel he progressed that much. He went in not knowing how to write, not socializing much. Now end of the year he still doesn't know how to write nor did he make any friends. I'll have to spend my summer working on that to prepare him for Kinder. I can't see how summer school can help him when 1 whole school year didn't. I didn't enroll my 3rd on in there yet... I am still debating. If anyone has specific teach recommendations please let me know. I still love this school and I really wish I can give it 5 stars. read more

if you are planning to have your child attend here with the thinking that they will learn the goodness and kindness of Christianity, reconsider it seriously. This preschool is for profit, and will not help your child. it is no different than other preschool. Lots of politics in this school between the teachers and so much red tapes. too young for a child to go through this Sh*t. Stay away parents. read more

I think this preschool is outstanding. It balances out emotional as well as academic focus. The teachers my children have had (Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Shipp, Mrs. Chun, Mrs. Rivera, and Mrs. Jaime) are all very loving and encouraging. My eldest child attended the 3-day a week morning session for a year and then followed the next year with the 5-day a week morning session. If you can swing the parental/family support for a slow ramp into school, it has worked for our child. She really connected with her teachers - both of them. The ratio she had for both years she attended was 2 teachers to about 16 preschoolers. She was exposed to science day, a lot of art projects (seasonal, letters, numbers), class participation (snack helper, weather helper, flag helper), field trips (to the pumpkin patch, pizzeria to learn how to make a pizza, state parks to learn about nature). The school doesn't require parent participation at school, but I was fortunate enough to participate in a field trip and a couple of in-class celebrations (Holiday program and Father's Day breakfast). Being in class or at the field trip really confirmed to me that I made a good choice about this preschool. The teachers teach kids new concepts and enforcing good habits - singing songs, making breakfast, cleaning up after themselves, being a good listener, taking turns. This year, my youngest is fortunate to be in a preschool class where she is learning to count in Spanish and Japanese! The rotating (healthy) snack responsibility is also a nice idea so I don't have to prepare her a snack every day, just every 15 or 16th day. I really enjoy the structure of teacher-student interaction, the focus on emotional as well as academic teachings, and the loving teachers. read more

I love the playground and open courtyard for riding bikes and playing with outdoor toys. All the teachers I've met are genuinely caring, while still being efficient. I really think modelling God's love and acceptance is something they are doing very well. The classrooms are beautifully decorated for play and learning. My daughter loves the sensory puzzles, and floor play activities, as well as getting to play outside everyday. They really care about meeting the needs of each child, even if it means holding them if they are crying and helping them say good-byes. I only took off a star for the food: the lunch menu choices are just not that healthy for the little ones. Especially considering that consuming processed meats are considered category 1 carcinogenic by WHO. Not to mention the increased incidence of constipation in newly potty-trained toddlers is tied to consuming processed foods. But I guess sausages, hot dogs and corn dogs make the kids happy...? read more
