We've had such an amazing experience at Sunshine House in Concord. When we first toured, we were…read moreimmediately blown away by how attentive the teachers were, their strong communication, and how engaged all of the kids seemed. Three years later, I can confidently say we made the right choice. My daughter has been attending since she was two and will be graduating this fall to go to Kindergarten. The growth we've seen in her has been incredible. I truly feel like Sunshine House has set her up for success. The teachers are so warm, supportive, and genuinely care about the kids. They were especially helpful during big milestones like potty training, which made a huge difference for us. Both of my kids absolutely adore their teachers, which says everything. I also love that they offer onsite electives you can sign up for--it's such a convenient and fun addition to their already strong program. Another thing that stands out is how they rotate rooms and toys to keep things fresh and engaging for the kids. Overall, this school has exceeded our expectations in every way. My kids LOVE it here, and we feel so lucky to be part of this community.

We were so sad to pull her out because we could already see how happy she was there and how much she was thriving. Sunshine House was actually her very first experience being in a school setting, and I'm so thankful that it was such a positive one. All of the teachers were absolutely amazing and showed her so much love and care. She was always so happy and excited to go to school, and as a parent, that meant everything to me. I truly believe that because they made her first experience with school so positive, it helped create the love for school that she still has today. A few months later, we were lucky enough to move back, and she has now started kindergarten. Since starting, I've received nothing but compliments from her teacher about how ready and prepared she is! What makes me even happier is seeing how many of the skills Sunshine House helped nurture in her are still with her today. From the way she participates during circle time, the way she interacts with other children, and even the way she advocates for herself, these are all things Sunshine House helped teach and encourage in her. Her kindergarten teacher has been so impressed, and it makes me so happy knowing that so much of what she learned during those few months has stayed with her. I'm just so thankful my daughter had the opportunity to experience Sunshine House. Even though she was only there for a short time, they made such a lasting impact on her. They gave her such a wonderful first experience with school, helped build her confidence, and gave her skills that she still carries with her today. We will always be so grateful for Sunshine House and all of the amazing teachers who loved and cared for her while she was there!

When it came time to look for a preschool for my daughter (4 years ago) I did a lot of research…read moreonline and in person. Thanks to all the great reviews here on Yelp and also a referral from one of my very good friends we decided to go with Mustard Seed as a place for my daughter to grow. She was 4 years old when she started and was very, very shy and was nervous. But it did not take her long to warm up and get comfortable with her super sweet classmates and the wonderful staff. The following year she continued onto TK and flourished into this bright intelligent little girl. The teachers at Mustard Seed did such an amazing job teaching the all the students and preparing them for Kindergarten. My daughter is currently in 2nd grade and is reading at the 6th grade level and I can't imagine her advancing to this level of education if it weren't for Mustard Seed. Fast forward - I needed child care for my youngest son as I prepared to go back to work and so thankful they have a toddler program I was able to enroll my son in at 18 months old. They love and care for all the children like it were their own and this gives us parents a peace of mind. He is now 3 1/2 years old and graduated to the preschool room where he absolutely loves to learn and play with his classmates that he calls, his best friends.

My kids always looked forward to going to school each day. This place is very family oriented and they treat our children as if they were their own. Nothing but love and compassion from mustard seed! I'm kinda sad that it had to end so abruptly but I'm hoping and praying this fall we can have a better year for 20/21 school year! I sure do give teachers a whole new level of respect, their jobs are not easy! All teachers need to have more recognition for the work that they do!

From day one, the communication has been exceptional. I always felt informed and connected through the daily updates, photos, and activity summaries. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing what my son was learning, creating, and experiencing each day. What truly sets San Marco apart is the genuine care they have for each child. They have created a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to learn, explore, and build confidence. My son has absolutely thrived under their care. He is only four years old and is incredibly advanced academically and socially. While every child is unique, I truly believe his early childhood education at San Marco played a significant role in preparing him for success. They have done an outstanding job getting him ready for TK, and I know he is entering this next chapter with a strong foundation because of the time he spent here. I also appreciated how flexible and accommodating they have been over the past three years. As a working parent, having a preschool that is reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your child's growth makes all the difference. Most importantly, my son loved going to school. Every morning he was excited to see his teachers and friends, and that speaks volumes about the environment they have created. It is bittersweet that our preschool journey has come to an end, but we leave with nothing but gratitude. Thank you to everyone at San Marco Family Childcare & Preschool for loving, teaching, encouraging, and believing in my son. The impact you've had on his life and our family is something we'll always be grateful for. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be loved, challenged, encouraged, and truly prepared for kindergarten, I cannot recommend San Marco Family Childcare & Preschool highly enough.

It met my three non-negotiables: play-based learning, small class size, and quality educators. I am very pleased with the staff professionalism and home-school communication. The director, Mrs. McCracken, is very responsive to any questions or concerns, and she replies to emails so promptly. Responses are always more than adequate. The classroom teacher, Ms. Soares, is very knowledgeable and responsive, too. She sends weekly lessons plans and a daily recap of the children's day. Lessons and activities are developmentally appropriate. Also, she stays on top of kiddo's food allergy, especially when here are special events and the kids get little treats. Ms. Soares just has everything under control. The second classroom teacher, Miss Maddie, is always upbeat and positive. There are fun events for the children planned throughout the year, and sometimes there are opportunities for parent participation. It is such a treat to surprise my kiddo at school by showing up for a class party. My son just loves his teacher and is blossoming. CCC is truly a warm and welcoming community.
