This is my second review on Quarry Lane after four years. My younger one has flourished in the past…read moretwo years here and we are incredible grateful for the nurturing environment, especially thankful to his current pre-k teachers Ms. Swati. She has helped my son mastered alphabets, phonics and foundational math skills. Beyond academics, she has also been doing a great job developing his social emotional skills. My son used to be very shy and now with her patience and understanding, he has built strong confidence when interacting with others. In addition, she is also top notch in communicating with us about the development of our son so that we know how to collaborate better with her at home and at school. We feel very fortunate to have Ms Swati as our son's teacher. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking to prepare their kids well for stepping into K. The rest of the school staffs are also wonderful. Ms. Liz, the school Director warmly greets the kids and parents every morning. She is always willing to listen and truly understands the students need. We are very grateful of her and all the school staffs to make QL a wonderful place for our kids to grow and learn.

He is is also very excited everyday about the topic of the curriculum whether it's about the human body and all the organs, the ocean or plants. His confidence and love for learning and engagement at school has improved in her class. I attribute this to her teaching style and how she interacts and engages with him. I'm very pleased and happy with she was my son's pre-k teacher because I think she has instilled in him a love for school. I highly recommend Ms. Swati!

Also my son had a speech impediment and a speech therapist met with my son throughout the years and he no longer needs speech therapy. A+++

Your kid will not grow from the teachers they have now. Multiple good teachers have left the school. Research it yourself. I don't lie. My 2 kids gone to the school. But the last 5 years.

The teacher will not completely teach the book. Lots on Chromebook homework and no actual teaching. Don't put your kids in this school. If you do, reply back to me that I am wrong.

Lydiksen Elementary School Home of the Lancers…read more The location is nestled in a beautiful neighborhood with towering trees that make you feel like you're on an adventure. The school's front lawn, planters and school garden are nicely manicured. It's a good inviting place for students and their family. My daughter was in TK (transitional kindergarten) with Mrs. Foley and TA Mrs. Kaelin. These wonderful women have gotten my daughter off to the right start. The TK class is gated off since it's the first building closest to the office and is split with a kinder class. It's near the school garden and front entrance and it's really convenient, trust me. The curriculum is awesome too! They learn lots with choice time, fundamentals, numbers/letters and cooking Friday just to name a few. The school community is inviting and welcoming. What better thing to have than moms and dads working together for their family's education. My daughter will be starting kindergarten soon and I'm confident and secure that Lydiksen Elementary has prepared her and will continue to help her grow as a student and person. Mr. Berg is the principal and good with the kids. There isn't a day my daughter doesn't say hi to him and he always returns the hello with a smile! It literally makes my daughter's day and makes her feel important and like she matters, thank you Mr. Berg! Thanks for reading!!

Our son joined Montessori School of Pleasanton when he was almost 3, and it has been so special to watch how much he has grown during his time here. He came in as a little toddler, and we have watched him become more confident, independent, respectful, and caring. The school has played such an important role in shaping who he is today, and we will always be grateful for the love, guidance, and values they have given him. We were especially lucky to have Ms. Karen and Ms. Lauren as his first teachers from Oak class room. We honestly couldn't have asked for better first teachers for our son. Ms. Karen, the head teacher, is incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with the children. The way she teaches, communicates with them, and handles every situation is truly special. She takes care of the children as if they were her own, and that gave us so much comfort as parents. Both Ms. Karen and Ms. Lauren have been wonderful throughout our son's time at the school. They kept us so well informed about his development, progress, behavior, and day-to-day experiences. Their communication and dedication made us feel involved and reassured every step of the way. Most importantly, our son genuinely enjoyed going to school and built such a wonderful bond with his teachers. Seeing him grow from a little toddler into a more confident, well-mannered, and independent child has been incredibly special for us. We are truly grateful to Montessori School of Pleasanton, Ms. Karen, Ms. Lauren, and everyone who has been part of our son's journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing, caring, and quality early childhood education. If you're considering this school, don't give it a second thought--and if your child gets into Oak class you will be in wonderful hands!
