Choosing the right place for your child's early education is always a big decision, but our…read moreexperience at Stratford School in Milpitas has been absolutely wonderful. This is my daughter's second year at this campus, and she has thrived in every possible way! A massive part of that joy comes down to her incredible Pre-K teachers, Ms. Liz and Ms. Rose. They are exceptionally caring, loving, and dedicated educators. From day one, they created an environment where my daughter felt safe, valued, and excited to learn. She has had so much fun bonding with both of them, as well as making wonderful friendships with her classmates. One of my absolute favorite highlights of the school year has been the music programs. It is so special to see all the hard work the kids and teachers put into preparing these performances. They are incredibly sweet and a joy to watch! If you are looking for a school that balances strong early academics with a genuinely nurturing, fun, and supportive environment, I cannot recommend Stratford Milpitas--and specifically Ms. Liz and Ms. Rose--highly enough!

Fantastic school.

We have to supplement her with additional home work at home. However, she's getting a quality education without us having to pay 10-20k for a private school. The most important thing is parent involvement. Money alone can't give your kid a quality education. This school has steadily gone up in ranks, and since the switch to Common Core testing instead of API, this is now a 10 ranked school. This just shows that the API can be gamed by rote memorization. As a parent, I had to relearn some of the concepts with Common Core, but it makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure why other parents hate it. The most important thing about Common Core is that there is not one way of getting the answers right. I teach my kids the curriculum method but I also teach them the old methods as well. Knowing more than one way to solve a problem and understanding *why* and *how* are the keystones of Common Core.

She makes sure every child is doing well and feels comfortable and happy at school. We are very grateful to have Ms. Filiz as Kylan's Pre-K teacher. As parents, it means so much to be able to trust someone with our child every day, and she truly gives us that comfort and confidence. Kylan loves going to school, and we can see how much love and effort she puts into teaching and taking care of the children. Taking care of so many little kids is not easy at all, but Ms. Filiz does an amazing job every single day. We really appreciate all of her hard work, dedication, and kindness. Thank you sooooo much, Ms. Filiz! -- Nickie (Kylan's mom)

Our experience at this school was deeply disappointing. My child came home in tears almost every…read moreday. The staff claimed there were behavioral issues and pushed for unnecessary testing that was never properly handled. Communication was poor--once I was told at 6am that my child couldn't attend school due to short staffing, even though there were only five kids in the class. The worst part was the lack of action around discrimination. After a classmate made a racially insensitive comment to my child, the school failed to address it appropriately. I withdrew my child, and it was the best decision I made.

My son goes to this school since Kindergarten. He is now in 5th grade. Let me tell you why I am…read morepleased with this school. 1) The teachers are very hard-working. They respond to Emails even after 8pm. 2) The teachers are very encouraging to the students. My son asked the teacher a question. The teacher will say, wow you are so detailed. They didn't just reply to the question but gave encouraging words 3) Happy Students. I have interviewed many parents before sending my son here and they all said their kids are very happy attending this school. 4) Polite students. I once took a cake to my son's school and shared the cake with his classmates. When I left, 3 or 4 students came to me and said thank you. 5) Strict discipline. My son was kicked out of school for 1 day because another kid misled him. He had to write an apology letter per the teacher's request. I am pleased with this because I want a school to be strict on discipline. If you are being late or bully other kids or misbehave, and no consequence is given, this is not good for the child. So I am glad my son learned the lesson early. 6) Extremely generous. They give generous financial aid, and I am very thankful 7) A lot of after-school enrichment program choices.

If you are looking for the perfect preschool for your child, Day Star Montessori is it…read more My daughter started at Day Star when she was 22 months old in the Infant class, moved on to the toddler/potty training class and is now leaving for TK after 2.5 years. It is bittersweet because our family loves this school, but we know she is well-prepared for elementary school because of how much she has grown at Day Star. All the teachers and staff are caring, patient, responsive and true experts in the field of early childhood education. They have the perfect balance of nurturing a love of learning, teaching respect and boundaries, instilling independence, and creating a fun environment. I trusted them fully with my daughter's safety and well-being because they truly earned my trust. My daughter is very independent and strong-willed, and it was amazing to see how her teachers were able to bring out the best in her without stifling her strong spirit. She LOVES going to school - she would actually complain about having to stay home when she was sick and asked me to drop her off earlier so she could have more time to do work and pick the lessons she wanted before they were taken! For anyone worried about Montessori teaching lacking structure compared to more traditional classroom settings, at 4 years old my daughter is able to write her full name, write all the letters and numbers up to 200, do addition, and identify all 7 continents and the majority of countries in each on a world map. Thanks to Day Star, she knows exactly where Suriname is! I am so grateful to Day Star and couldn't recommend them more.

The school hired many dynamic teachers and adopted some of the more innovative ways of teaching students and making them feel like a part of a community. In a team based small community, teachers rotated amongst a small group of students throughout the day. Every teacher wants to get to know each child and nurture their souls and accept them as a person not as another student passing through the door. In recent years, Rancho became the school to watch in our state. Students who moved onto high school would come back to visit all the time to thank their teachers.
