    We had been on the waiting list for a Stratford school location close to our home for over a year. Stratford later contacted us with a promotional offer of $1,500 off a year's tuition and mentioned that we would be placed on a higher-priority waiting list for our preferred location. We were told that seats were filling quickly, and based on this, we decided to enroll at this location on a provisional basis. We paid a $500 registration fee at that time. About two weeks later (notably before the start of the academic year), we decided this location was not a workable option and requested to withdraw. At that point, we were informed that withdrawal would result in charges of 10% of the annual tuition plus an additional $500, in addition to the loss of the original registration fee. While these fees were referenced in the enrollment documents, they were located deep in the paperwork and were not highlighted during the enrollment conversation. At the time we committed, we believed the only non-refundable amount was the $500 registration fee that we paid upfront. Even worse when completing the withdrawal request, it would only allow us to select the date of withdrawal as the day after the first day of school even though we were trying to withdraw nearly 10 days earlier. When we inquired about the breakdown of the additional charges, we were told that an itemized cost could not be provided. While we understand that policies and fees exist for a reason, we feel the communication surrounding these withdrawal penalties could have been clearer. In our case, withdrawing two weeks after enrollment, ended up costing nearly $3,500. This was a difficult and disappointing experience for our family, and we would encourage future parents to read all enrollment documents carefully and ask specific questions about any potential withdrawal costs before committing.

    My child attended summer camp at Stratford School's Milpitas Great Mall campus, and we had a…read morewonderful experience. The school offered a great selection of classes, which made it easy to choose a variety of programs based on my child's interests and learning needs. One of the highlights was the Academic Bridge Camp taught by Ms. Mandal. It was a fantastic class that helped the children review and prepare for first grade in a fun and engaging way. The lessons allowed them to continue learning during the summer without feeling overwhelmed. Ms. Mandal is very organized and methodical. She sent a weekly newsletter explaining what would be covered and also provided daily email updates about the academic activities completed in class. This made it very easy for us to stay informed about what was happening in the classroom. She is kind, encouraging, and appreciative of the children while also maintaining good structure in the classroom. My child says she is "only a little strict" and likes her very much! We are very grateful to Ms. Mandal and the Stratford team for making the summer both educational and enjoyable.

Teaching science to pre-K students requires a special kind of magic, and she has it. My child comes home every week buzzing with excitement about gravity, life cycles, the solar system, transportation, water life cycle, bursting to explain how the world works. My child is completely hooked on science thanks to their amazing experiments and enthusiastic teaching style. She makes every lesson an adventure, and the growth we've seen in our child's critical thinking skills is incredible. I am constantly amazed by the sophisticated concepts my child brings home, all learned through play and hands-on activities. Ms. Swapna haven't just taught our child science; she has fostered a deep, lifelong curiosity about the universe. We are so grateful!"

I remember I had a very kind teacher who made me feel safe and welcome. We were encouraged to take care of plants and I remember mine was in a little bunny pot.

Every time I drive along 680 and see that Day Star sign, I'm so glad the school is still there. From the recent reviews, it seems the school is still thriving. Just wanted parents to know that this school has a solid foundation as an incredible school from its beginnings. Thank you for everything, Day Star!

The teachers are patient, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's growth. Whenever we had concerns, they were always willing to listen, work with us, and support our child in becoming more confident and comfortable in social settings. Another thing we really appreciate is the schedule. The school has relatively few closure days compared to many other programs, which is very helpful for working parents. If you need extended care until 6:00 PM, there are also many enrichment activities available, giving children plenty of opportunities to explore new interests. We're grateful for the care and support our child has received here and would highly recommend Day Star Montessori to other families.

So the whole covid thing has just been crazy. Now that we are back again foe 2022 the school is still not allowing parents on campus... makes no sense as all the parents were allowed on campus for a welcome back. I mean this whole covid thing is now just like a cold and we have learned to live with it. I feel that the school should go back to normal. Hopefully the district can get things back to normal.
