As one of my sons said, "the first time we visited it for service is" I've been waiting for temple where I'll feel home, comfortable and absolutely relaxed and happy. This Chabad of San Mateo is it! You know you belong there any time you visit it. No ridiculous organ music, no ridiculous statements or opinions. Simply conservative, hones and totally common sense environment. I am very happy and proud we found it few years ago. Thank you for everything yo do for people including "donating" your own lives and time to this Nobel cause.

We go to a different school Tuesdays and Thursdays and he always prefers PTS -- he's very vocal about it. He literally saunters into PTS like a little movie star. Somehow the teachers and the staff are truly able to connect with my son, make him feel comfortable enough to blossom and explore the world here! He loves making challah bread every Friday and is always excited to eat his own handmade bread. He loves Shabbat Fridays where they have a dinosaur come. Anyhow, I can't say enough nice things about this school. The facilities are really nice and spacious and happy and bright. It's awesome.

I would give it 5 Stars!

The best part of the school is the wonderful teaching staff - especially Mrs Ghiozzi. She's the warmest, sweetest teacher any kid could have. Our son blossomed under her care.

The other teachers, including Mrs Sheldon, Mr Weber, Mrs Briones are all lovely as well. All the support staff are also fantastic. The school is well-led under the leadership of Ms Weber.

Our children started last year and the growth and progress we've seen is remarkable. I was concerned about their adjustment... both had been home with me and had no prior pre-school / daycare experience outside of extended family. I was thrilled that they were able to attend the same class, in the mixed junior kindergarten / kindergarten class. Ms. Marquardt was amazing. The second day of school my youngest raced to class and threw her arms around her teacher. My son, who is very shy was allowed to adjust and blossom within his comfort zone. Her caring is evident in the way the children respond to her. The small class size really affords each child the opportunity to receive an education tailored to his/her needs. This year they're in separate classes, and still flourishing. For the kindergarten classes, the curriculum is one of active and experiential learning. There is good focus on reading and early math basics. I'm thrilled with the use of technology in the classroom in meaningful ways. For the mixed classroom (grades 1-5), the students are encouraged to interact and share in their daily activities. I especially enjoy seeing the children working in community-based ways, instead of having distinct separation of grades that you experience in larger schools. Mrs. Lee is an especially patient and caring teacher. Her gentle leadership and constant encouragement is inspirational... My son continues to expand his general scholastic and interpersonal skills. This school promotes community and fellowship. The inclusion of bible-based teachings provide an extra layer of education that just can't be found in public schools. The only drawback for me is there isn't a "gym" or a rigorous physical education curriculum. That being said, there is ample opportunity for the children to stretch, climb, run and play during the scheduled recess periods. I'll gladly trade organized sports on site for the caring education that they receive daily.

I only visited the church once (and this has nothing to do with the school). The church is lovely,…read moreand they have a Saturday service at 6 p.m. - a perfect time for me. But the pastor and congregation belong to a conservative wing of the Lutheran church, which includes considering homosexuality a major sin. Unfortunately, I'm from a liberal wing of the Lutheran church, and since it came up in the sermon (I suspect it comes up every week), I knew this wasn't the place for me. They believe in "close communion" where they encourage/allow only like minded people to share in the Body of Christ. If you're from a liberal wing of the Lutheran church (or a Christian from another denomination), they require you to take a class before you can take communion with them. I got the feeling they want you to agree with their philosophies, or they don't want to share communion with you.
