She grew so close to her teachers and genuinely looked forward to going to school every day. As her mom, seeing her feel happy, comfortable, and cared for meant everything to me. The teachers are wonderful, and I appreciated the teacher-to-student ratio and the attention they gave each child. Ms. Lucy, the director, was so kind and made us feel like a big family.   I also loved how much the school did for the children. My daughter got to enjoy field trips, outside performers, a petting zoo, bubble fun, and so many other activities. She came home with wonderful memories, and I'll always be thankful for the love and care she received there. I wholeheartedly recommend Valley Oak Montessori to any mom looking for a preschool for her little one.

The staff made everything so easy, and now he genuinely looks forward to going every day. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Lucy, the director, for creating such a warm, caring, and welcoming environment. A very special thank you to Mrs. Catalina. She has been an incredible teacher and has cared for our son as if he were her own. He absolutely adores her--to the point that he asks for Mrs. Catalina even on the weekends! As parents, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your child feels that loved and safe. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for children shine through in everything she does. She even gifted our son a copy of a children's book that she wrote herself, which meant so much to us and speaks volumes about her passion, experience, and dedication to helping children learn and grow. The progress we've seen in our son has been amazing. His vocabulary has grown tremendously, he learns something new every day, and he comes home excited to share what he did at school. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a safe, loving, and enriching place for their child.

On my child's first day, they helped us quickly manage his separation anxiety and within 5 minutes they posted pictures of him happily playing on the Procare app. At the end of the day he was so excited to tell us about his day, the teachers, and the friends he met. I love the facility and the way the rooms are setup. There are 4 rooms connected to each other so it's easy to separate the classes during curriculum and free play, and it's also easy to teachers to hop between rooms as needed. The school provided excellent lunches and snacks, and posted great pictures of the children eating together on the Procare app. Also the outdoor play area is excellent. There are many cars, balls and toys for the children to use. The shade structures are expertly set up, and the playground equipment is fun and safe. With all the children ages 2-5, the teachers and facilities are perfectly tuned to these ages. Such a great school!

My child has learned so much and has made rapid progress here. Amanda even provides customized teaching materials tailored to each child's different level, which is impressive. The program is primarily in English with a valuable half-day Mandarin class at least once a week. We feel so lucky to have secured a spot here.

They organize a lot of events where parents get a chance to connect with teachers and other parents. The annual spring and winter concerts are very well organized and it's rewarding to see the community come together. Overall it's been a very fulfilling experience and we're glad we found scholars ! They encourage outdoor playtime and also hone kids' personal preferences as well. Their reports are also very detailed and specific for each kid. They have also started meal service which is a huge relief for busy parents. I cannot wait to send my younger daughter to scholars once she's ready.

When we first enrolled our daughter, we were at a very tough spot because the preschool she was at for 4 months was closing down. We scrambled to find a new spot.

She's always learning something or simply having lots of fun. All the teachers there are so supportive. You truly feel like a family there. Our daughter was always in good hands.

This is my family's third year with SFOA preschool after seeing my niece attend the preschool, and…read morewe absolutely love it. I initially enrolled my older son (now in kinder) at SFOA to help with socialization skills and getting him exposed to other children, however, he learned much more, and his preparation for kindergarten has been amazing. He went to the preschool for 3 summers and 2 academic years and loved the preschool so much, he didn't want to leave, and it took some time to transition to kindergarten. Before enrolling my son in kinder, I reviewed the list of concepts he would be learning in kinder, and it was great to see that SFOA had already covered a LOT of them. His current kinder teacher was also quite surprised that he knew as much as he did when she gave him a kindergarten-readiness test, which included some reading assessment. The children learn letters, numbers, phonics, vowels, simple math, sight words, basic prayers, and the pledge of allegiance. They also learn motor skills like coloring in the lines, cutting, and gluing, and the activities are themed be season or using biblical stories, such as Noah's Ark, Joseph and the Technicolor Coat, and God's creation. My younger son is in his second academic year and has also done two summer sessions. He is not as interested in learning, but his growth over the past few years has been astounding. He now spews out phonics and other concepts easily that we had been working hard to teach him at home. Ms. Rochelle and Ms. Tina are great teachers and work very hard to integrate kinder-ready and faith-based curriculum into the school year. They do not "babysit" the children. Each day, there is time for circle time for learning concepts and listening to stories, time for group potty breaks, snack time, and play time, which is also very important for a child's development. Overall, I highly recommend the preschool if you are looking for a supportive teaching environment for your children where they will learn about the faith in a fun way and be well prepared for entering kindergarten.

I've been holding off reviewing St Francis preschool because I didn't want to let everyone know…read moreabout what a good school it is and have it suddenly get crowded (yes I was being selfish) They deserve my words of kindness so here goes. After my daughter was kicked out of another preschool http://www.yelp.com/biz/san-jose-parent-participating-nursery-school-san-jose#hrid:S-XbP45qBCbYOn6UIqmIQQ we came across St. Francis of Assisi. Wife and I are both Catholics, so for us it was a natural fit. Unlike my daughters previous preschool, this one isn't parent participatory, but it's the same price! It amazed me that they could put together such a good program on such a limited budget. The facilities are almost brand spanking new. The classroom is small, but so are the classes. My daughter is in the afternoon class and there has only been 4 kids up until this week when they added a 5th. There are 3 teachers. Rochelle Leggit is the director of the preschool program and will sometimes take a spot in the classroom. Then There's Miss Maya and Miss Stella who are pretty much the regular teachers. Finally there's Miss Raquel the music teacher. Not a bad teacher to kid ratio. In my daughters class that's 1 to 1. Now if you read my review of the other preschool you'll see my daughter wasn't exactly 100% up to speed with the other children her age. The teachers here have been EXTREMELY patient with her, and treat her with nothing but love, kindness and praise. It makes my eyes well up with tears just thinking about how wonderful they've been, a godsend, an answer to my prayers. Rochelle, Stella, Maya and Raquel if you're reading this, I love you for what you've done for Elise. God bless you, I think us coming to you was a part of his plan for my little girl. I hope nobody thinks I'm being over dramatic here, but these really are special people. Going from a jackass, untrained teacher telling you your child is abnormal to St Francis staff who have never once said that, and treat her with love and guidance is nothing short of a miracle for me. No matter what your religious beliefs are, this program is really special. You would be hard pressed to find a more dedicated, loving staff for your child. My girl still has some issues, but thanks to the love and guidance of her teachers she has come a long way. She's a chatterbox now. She plays dress up and wants to be a ballerina. Thank you for giving me my daughter. God bless.
