Five of our grandchildren have attended Beth Emek Preschool, and we can't say enough good things…read moreabout the school! The play-based program is top-notch and the staff is exceptional, with very little turnover through the years (practically unheard of in early childhood circles!). The school is small (just two classrooms) and the environment is warm and friendly, with the children forming close personal relationships with their teachers and classmates. Families can choose for their child to attend two, three or five days a week. I personally love the 9:00a to 1:00p schedule, which allows the children to have lunch with their friends instead of rushing home after a short school day. If you know a child who is between two and five years old, do them (and yourself) a favor and check out Beth Emek Preschool!

Both of my daughters attended BEP, and choosing it was one of the best decisions we made. From the…read morevery first tour, the teachers were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and clearly experienced. I immediately felt confident that my child would be in good hands. My girls built strong friendships at BEP, learned to be inclusive, and were very well prepared for their next school. They are now in elementary school, but they still talk about their time at BEP and often say it was the best time of their lives. The friends they made there are still their best friends today. As a parent, I feel so lucky to have found BEP as my children's first community. It was a safe, fun, and engaging place, and I would highly recommend it to any family.

A Wonderful Place for Young Minds to Grow! My 4-year-old daughter attends Global Village Montessori…read morein Pleasanton, and I can't speak highly enough about our experience here. From day one, we've felt genuinely welcomed and supported by the kind and dedicated staff. What I truly appreciate is the variety of enriching projects the children get to explore -- from hands-on science experiments to creative art activities, there's always something exciting that sparks curiosity and learning. The daily structure also includes plenty of outdoor play, which my daughter absolutely loves, and it's great to see her come home happy and energized. Another standout for us is the Spanish classes! As a native Spanish speaker, I really value that my daughter can reinforce her Spanish skills at school. It's a beautiful way to stay connected to our roots, and at the same time, it's a wonderful gift to introduce the richness of another language at such an early age. The teachers manage to weave learning into every part of the day with so much care and warmth, both in their interactions with the children and with us as parents. Global Village truly feels like a nurturing community where children can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We're so grateful to be part of it!

This is just from my tour of this facility! I am also comparing this with other tours of schools in…read morethe same time period and how this school failed to make an impression, the good one! At first, I was really surprised to see a stained couch, not other friendly notes or things (live activity list, books, pictures, good notes etc) in the entrance and waiting area. There is a plastic/Glass wall on the side behind which the person sits to say Hi to you!!! The you walk in to an office room, equally disgusting and dull. Instead of showing me real kids doing stuff or just letting me ask stuff, they have a really long BOOK of photos from a time when kids did something and they captured (perhaps). Then the lady emphasized so much on potty training (FYI, it's not okay to force, you should be polite and offer good suggestions no press the requirement on a parent). Then we walked through the hallway, has like 4-6 class rooms may be, small playground, class rooms are messy and oddly structured. No diversity FYI! I don't know something about this school just made me want to walk away quickly vs other schools like stratford, primrose, quarry lane or even a home based daycare. It's like I would send another Mathilda here! It's pathetic, needs color, fun, smiles, diversity, cleaner rooms, cleaner entrance for sure, clean that white couch too please.. it looks like a prison! May be cheap but it's terrible to think I could send my kid here for the entire day

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Ms. Ekhlas as our little one's teacher at Montessori…read moreSchool of Pleasanton. From the very beginning, she has been nothing short of amazing, caring, gentle, loving, and kind. Starting school was a huge transition for our little one (and us!) but Ms. Ekhlas made it a smooth experience for our family. She gave our child so much personal attention and care during those early days, helping him adjust quickly; within just one week, he was running into her arms with hugs every morning. That's when we knew she truly cares for each and every child in her classroom. Ms. Ekhlas is incredibly attentive and communicative. She regularly sends us updates and lots of adorable pictures. It's clear she puts so much thought and effort into creating a nurturing and stimulating environment. From fun learning activities to creative play, she keeps the children engaged and excited to come to school. She also goes above and beyond for the parents, planning thoughtful events like a sweet Mother's Day Brunch that made us feel so appreciated and connected to the school community. We honestly wish Ms. Ekhlas could be our child's teacher forever. Her warmth, dedication, and passion for teaching shine through in everything she does. We are endlessly grateful for her and cannot thank her enough for the love and care that she gives our baby. Ms. Ekhlas is truly the best!

From the very first moment I toured this school back in 2023, I knew right away St. Clares…read morePreschool would be the perfect choice for our family. My husband and I toured many preschools in the area and St. Clares preschool was the only school that checked all the boxes. My oldest attended St. Clares preschool for two years (3s & 4s class) and my youngest who is now 2 yrs and 9 months is currently enrolled in the 2s class. Here are some reasons why I highly recommend this preschool- -Warm, kind and dedicated staff. All staff are knowledgable, professional and so good with the kids. I felt at ease knowing my girls would be safe and cared for at the school. The school also has CPR certified staff which is a must for me. The preschool directors Ms. Madhu and Ms. Martha are so sweet and also easy to communicate with. My youngest had a hard time adjusting when she first started. She cried at every drop off and Ms. Martha was so patient. She helped come up with a plan on how to make the transition easier for my daughter. Now she no longer cries and looks forward to playing with her friends. - Big playground with a lot of different activities to offer. This was a big one on my list. I was pretty impressed with how spacious it was. Sandbox was a plus and the school has multiple play structures. There is also a garden. -The preschool is connected to a church, so the children participate in chapel time once a week. What I really appreciate about chapel time is that the lessons focus on good morals and what it means to be a kind, respectful and caring person. I believe in addition to academics, its so important to teach our children strong foundations and positive character traits. - Fun activities! Playdates, Family nights, Special guest performers, Christmas pageant, Halloween Parades, Pumpkin patch activity, and the summer programs are also activities we have enjoyed as a family! my girls especially. We have also gotten to know the other parents and my girls have gained friendships at St. Clares. My oldest still keeps in touch with her St. Clares bestie =) If you are thinking about touring this school, I highly suggest you do. That way you can see for yourself how much of a gem this school truly is.

St Clare's Preschool is absolutely one of the best places for your child to learn and enjoy their…read moreday. My grandson has been there for 4 years now. The staff is absolutely great. They do a fantastic mix of learning while still allowing them time to play. They do take 2 year olds for enrollment, even when not potty trained. This is something that a lot of local preschools do not offer. They include a well structured curriculum that matches your child's developmental needs. They provide nutritious snacks and have a great playground. Communicating with the staff is easy using their app and you get many photos sent throughout the day of your child participating in the activities. I highly recommend St Clare's Christian Preschool.

He's not an easy kid, so I appreciate all their efforts with him. He has grown to love this school and his teachers. He even says he wants to be a teacher here when he grows up. Laura, the school director, and all the teachers were always great with communication when we needed anything. I have seen multiple times where Laura offers families help where she wouldn't be expected to. I would definitely highly recommend this school.

I recommend taking a tour to see the property and meet the Director Laura and some of the staff. Laura is incredibly dedicated, professional and supportive. Our daughter is so excited each morning to know she's going to school (day care) and always happy when we pick her up. On her second day when we went to pick her up she wanted to stay! We thought it could be a honeymoon phase of something new but she continues to be excited and comfortable there. They encourage you to drop in and welcome calls to check in, especially in the beginning which was very appreciated as we transitioned. They use an app to periodically share updates and photos about your child(ren). I also love the events they have throughout the year at the school, we get to meet more of the community and experience first hand just how much she loves the school + staff. We've seen her development and social skills progress significantly in one year with their support. We truly feel like she's been surrounded by the best caregivers and educators, we are so thankful to have found Early Years!

This is a re-visit of the…read morereview which we made 4 years ago (with an ownership change in between) This place is nurturing. It cares about developing good behaviors. It stimulates kids motions and sensors. It is a fun place with a renewed place ground. It does not punish bad behaviors. Kids need to learn to run away from bad behaviors. It could improve on its academic efforts. Don't ask kids to connect 8 dots to make a hexagon. It could improve its facilities. Keep the school open whether it's 100 degrees or pouring 2" rain outside. It could train teachers better. Praise kids' good behaviors instead just complementing their outfits. Stop calling girls weird when they love bugs and spiders.

Our son started at CL when he was 7 months. As a first time mom, I was freaking out. Miss Rocio and…read morethe infant teachers held our hands and made us feel so comfortable. Miss Sharmi said, "give us a month, and we will have him on a schedule". And they did!! At every stage, Miss Sharmi, Miss Brenda, Miss Yuly, Miss Lorena and everyone else, guided us and gave us advice when we asked. For example, I was having a hard time watching my son gagging on solids (different than choking). The teachers worked with him and he was a pro eater in no time! They also got him to nap without a pacifier when he turned one year (how???). Lastly, my kid was always so excited to be there with his teachers and friends. All I wanted was a nurturing environment where my kid would feel loved, have fun, and learn boundaries. Creative Learners did all of those things. I'm so glad Jordan had these ladies has his first teachers. I just love these teachers and this school so much. We moved schools to be closer to home (since more local schools start at 18mo), but we will be back with our second child!! We (and Jordy) miss and love you all!!! Xx

Before choosing to enroll him at Little Flowers Montessori I visited five Montessori schools spanning thru San Ramon Dublin and Pleasanton. Little flower Montessori school was the only school that had security that was up to par as well as privacy for check in and check out with a nice play area to match. Upon arriving at Little Flowers Montessori for our walk-through we discovered Ms Leisa was a teacher there. When we saw Ms Leisa, we knew this was the school for us. My son had her at a prior school and we knew how fabulous she is. I am a helicopter mom so I know she puts a lot of time and effort into daily activities, being warm, patient and compassionate with the students. At this point, my son has been attending little flowers for six months. I told Ms Leisa that he barely gets sick at this school vs his previous school he was sick every two weeks. She says that she wipes down the toys every day after the kids leave, we love her! When my son sees Ms Leisa, he brightens up and often times when he is picked up he says "Ms Leisa, Ms Leisa" and doesn't want to go home. We are very thankful to have found Ms Leisa and Little Flowers Montessori!

We've had a wonderful experience with PBMP. Both of my children started here at just 15 months old…read more My older child has already graduated, and my younger one is still attending. Over the years, they've both made so many friends and truly enjoyed coming to school every day. One thing that stands out the most is the teachers--every class has caring, responsible, and loving teachers who genuinely look out for the kids and support their growth. Academically, my older child learned a lot here. By the time she graduated, she was well ahead of what is typically expected in kindergarten, which really gave us confidence in the school's curriculum and teaching approach. We're very grateful for the positive, nurturing environment and highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a strong start for their children.

We've had both of our kids at PBMP, and it has genuinely been one of the best decisions we've made…read moreas parents. What makes this school stand out is that both classes follow the same weekly theme, so even though the kids are at different levels, they come home excited to talk to each other about what they learned that day. The curriculum is thoughtful and the take-home work is surprisingly rich (honestly, even the adults learn something!). But what truly sets PBMP apart is the teachers. They don't just watch over the kids, they genuinely love them. Even after our kids moved up to new classrooms, their previous teachers still greet them warmly every time they see them in the hallway. We toured many schools before choosing PBMP, Montessori, church-based, traditional preschools, and nowhere else did we see this level of authentic warmth. I've visited schools where the classrooms were eerily quiet and the teachers looked disengaged. For 2 to 5 year olds, that kind of silence isn't calm, it's a red flag. I truly believe the culture here starts with Principal Lena. She's hands-on, always with the kids, and it's clear she handpicks teachers who share her heart for children. As parents, safety is always a top concern. The teachers send weekly photo updates, and if they ever notice even a small injury like a cut on the lip, they reach out immediately to check in. That level of care and communication has given us total peace of mind. Our older one is now graduating and heading to kindergarten, and I can't thank his teachers enough. He's always been a sensitive, high-needs child, and the patience and love they showed him made all the difference. We will truly miss this place.
