We are incredibly happy with our experience at MCG Preschool (Milpitas branch). From the very…read morebeginning, it has been a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for our son. We've seen amazing growth in his confidence, learning, and social skills. The teachers--Ms. Abeer, Ms. Ghalia, and Ms. Doha--are truly outstanding. They are warm, patient, and genuinely care for each child. Their gentle and respectful way of dealing with the kids creates a positive, joyful atmosphere every day. They are also extremely cooperative with parents, always open to communication, feedback, and working together to support each child's development. One of the things we love most is the beautiful Islamic environment. The children learn Islamic values in an age-appropriate and loving way--like how to pray and make duaa--which has helped our son build a strong, happy connection to his faith. The preschool is clean, organized, and thoughtfully designed. Every area supports both play and learning in a safe and engaging way. We feel so blessed to be part of the MCG family. We are truly thankful that this was our child's first preschool experience--it gave him such a strong, joyful start, and we are deeply grateful for the love, care, and guidance the teachers provide every single day.

One has already graduated and the other is currently enrolled and they both absolutely love it! The preschool provides such a fun, colorful, and nurturing environment where children thrive. They learn so much, not only in English but also in Arabic and Quran, which has been incredibly meaningful to our family. The Montessori-based activities encourage independence, creativity, and curiosity, and the outdoor play area is both safe and fantastic for the children to enjoy and get their energy out. Teachers Ghalia and Abeer are truly wonderful with the kids and equally supportive toward parents. Their dedication, and genuine care shine through every day. I am so grateful for what the Muslim Children's Garden has given my boys educationally, socially, and religiously. I highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a loving and safe place for their children.

Let me start with the positive side of this school. Most of the class teachers are super nice!…read more Our child has been in this school for 5+ years and came across all the wonderful teachers. Per my child, most of the students are friendly and from good educational families. We are giving 3 stars for class teachers and their teaching skills. But there are several negatives about this school. Even though all parents knows about it we can't do nothing. We are not able to switch to another school as there are no better options at this location. Negatives: 1. They raise their monthly fees every year but they don't improve any quality to their services. My kid always complains about spider webs in the bathrooms and it's always very dirty. So, he refuses go to bathroom and holds for whole day. 2. No extra curricular activities like sports tournaments like running, soccer, basketball, table tennis or any competitive events for building children's physical and mental strengths. 3. No fun events; students should have singing and dancing, cultural events, talent show, etc. 4. No sports equipments provided to students; they could have provided at least these basic sports equipments: PingPong tables, chess boards, soccer balls, basketballs, volleyballs, etc. So, kids can have fun on recess time or after school time. We hope school administration will take necessary action work on it to improve.

I have picked up my nephews and niece from this school frequently. This institution has consistently had AMAZING teachers.  My sisters' kids had the same teacher, Ms. Michelle and even though my son has different teachers (Ms. Farishta and Ms. Denise), the quality of care and education he received is consistent with the same outcome of her kids. So even though teachers have changed throughout the years, the standards in which these teachers are Montessori trained are high. From day 1, I dropped him off confidently knowing he was in wonderful caring hands. And now that it is towards the end of the year, I reflect back and remain in AWE of the advancement he has made in terms of education and social skills.

The teachers are truly caring, patient, and dedicated--they go above and beyond to make sure every student feels supported and valued. The academics are excellent, but what really stands out is the focus on kindness, respect, and faith. Our child has grown not only in knowledge but also in confidence and compassion. We also really appreciate the strong sense of community--families, teachers, and staff all work together to create a positive and welcoming atmosphere. Communication from the school is great, and you can tell how much effort goes into making every event, Mass, and activity meaningful for the kids. If you're looking for a school that focuses on great academics, strong values, and genuine care for your child, St. Joseph is a wonderful choice. We feel so blessed to be part of this school!

As parents of a high school freshman, we had a firsthand experience with Granada Islamic School,…read moreand I believe it's crucial to share our honest observations and experiences to help other parents make an informed decision regarding their child's education at this institution. 1. Admission Challenges: The admission process involved an entry test, a paid waitlist, and additional fees on registration, totaling around $1,100. It was a cumbersome start. 2. Financial Strain: Tuition fees surged to $12,850 for the 2023-2024 academic year and when factoring in uniform costs, event expenses, and more, the financial burden exceeds. It was financially taxing and felt unjustified in the end comparing academics and other experiences. 3. Administration and Communication: * The school's administration, handled by 1-2 staff members at the front desk, appeared to be lacking in organization and communication. Notably, the school administration did not request or review the 2nd-semester report card during the admission process, a significant oversight in evaluating a student's academic performance and potential fit for the school. It also shows how much workload is on staff and they are under-hired. We came to know later from staff when classes had already started. * Communication primarily relied on emails, and the school's website was not consistently updated with essential information such as old staff, and board members' bios are still available who are no longer working in Granada. The 4-year High school plan with course offerings is not mentioned except a general description which was a deceptive factor for us. * Granada divides academics: Pre-K to 8 at Granada School and high schoolers at the MCA area. There's no dedicated vice-principal for high school; the existing one oversees Pre-K to 8. Granada board members are inactive in daily operations and intervene only in critical situations. The MCA board, the top hierarchy, acts when concerns escalate. Contacting them is difficult due to outdated website information. The principal is the central decision-maker, with other directors primarily following instructions without asserting their stance. 4. Curriculum and Academic Offerings: - Essential courses like Biology and Chemistry were missing for the academic year 2023-2024, presenting unforeseen challenges for students and parents. The school discreetly shared this information in a Google document in late July, far into the registration and tuition deduction process that began in May 2023. Many parents were unaware until mid-August. - Academic resources such as libraries and course materials were scarce, leaving parents to bear the expense of purchasing books and supplies. The lack of transparency and limited online information eroded trust in the institute. While using older editions and pre-owned books could save costs, the insistence on having the latest editions was unexpected. 5. Classroom Experience and Resources: * The classroom experience lacked structure, with 90-minute study halls for 3 days and inconsistent schedules, posing challenges for students to maintain a productive learning environment. Parents collectively trying to figure out electives and science class alternatives. 6. Counseling and Support: Middle and high school lacked a dedicated counselor. No new counselor was hired before the school year, leaving a critical gap. The website wasn't updated, causing confusion. They temporarily assigned a math teacher as a counselor for high schoolers. Dual enrollment was subject to the Principal's consent. However, the criteria were unclear, and it wasn't an option for freshmen, unlike in public schools where high achievers in 9th grade can often pursue this opportunity with a counselor and parental approval. 7. Lack of Diversity & Staff: The teaching staff was predominantly Arab for Pre-K to 8th grade, with a significant lack of diversity. For high schoolers, each subject often has only one teacher for a small high school student population, with the fewest students in junior and senior years. They have a high turnover of staff due to an overload of responsibilities. 8. Parent Involvement/ Feedback: We wrote our concerns and mentioned that we were considering leaving the school, but they only took action when they saw more parents were writing the same issues collectively. There is a lot of politics involved in school. Conclusion and Recommendation: Based on our experience, we switched the school in the first month and lost $5500 plus. None of the school staff or administration asked the reason and they didn't accept or apologize for their mistake or any mishandling. Prospective parents should thoroughly research educational options before choosing Granada Islamic School. Consider academic offerings, communication, transparency, and alignment with your expectations. If a spiritual and protective environment is a priority, connect with other parents for insights.
