We love Walnut Country Preschool! My oldest son went here for two years (3s and 4s program) and had…read morea wonderful time. He enjoyed the play based learning environment, the large indoor and outdoor spaces and the amazing, caring teachers. Our family truly cannot say enough good things about this school. Not only did my son have fun, but he was really prepared for kindergarten. He is in kindergarten now and performing at a higher level than some of his peers and I know that it is due to his preschool education. There are four teachers and I really feel that the low student to teacher ratio is important in this stage of learning. Being in a great school like this for two years helped my shy son blossom into a confident kiddo who enjoys school. It's evident that the teachers really enjoy their jobs and do great work with the kids. Currently my youngest son is attending preschool here and enjoys is as well! This preschool is also wonderful for the great community that it fosters. There are a number of family and parent only nights where you get to know the other families. Parents are allowed to volunteer in the classroom and get involved in so many ways. I highly recommend this preschool!

Karen and Jackie have the care, compassion, and patience to make sure every child learns and develops at their own pace.

He is now off to T-K and although we will miss SMCCAP we know we will always have a friend in them. This is a great place for your child if you are seeking childcare services. I highly recommend and I say that with no hesitation.

My daughter attended First Lutheran Preschool from the time we moved to Concord (May 2010) until…read morejust this past week. While I'm excited that she's growing up and moving on to new things, I'm sad to have to leave First Lutheran (only because she's old enough to move on to elementary school). I could not have asked for a better preschool experience for my child. We became quite attached to the whole staff, as each and every one of them truly cared about the well-being of our daughter. Many a time i actually had to chase her down because she didn't want to leave! The rates are quite reasonable (let's just say I was saving close to $400/month compared to where she was going in SF), and it's nice that they take kids starting at age 2 and still in diapers. They help potty train, also, and once they are potty trained the price goes down a bit. My daughter learned so many things at FLPS, and I especially loved when she came home singing a new song. The children attend chapel once a week, and it was always cute when she would relate the stories she learned to me, such as the story of 'Adam and E' (that's what she called it haha). I loved the "Parents' Night Out" that they offered every so often...it gave me and my husband a chance to get out, and the children have a great time in a familiar environment. I feel so lucky to have found FLPS, and I would definitely recommend it to any parents looking for a preschool in the area.

Flps welcomed us and created an enjoyable, safe, and inclusive environment. Our child thrived here, learned to speak and communicate more, learned to play with other kids (he refused to be next to other kids before here). He learned so much and gained so many skills here. Ms. Anna was amazing and always made him feel loved and welcome as well as the other staff. It's so hard to trust others with your child especially when your child can't communicate but this was best possible place for him. We wish we didn't have to leave for elementary. I would recommend this place a thousand times over. We loved it here and our child loved it here.

Our child began attending Concordia in kindergarten and four years later, they are thriving!…read moreConcordia is everything we could hope for in a school and a community. The teachers are caring and invested. The Montessori curriculum gives the child ownership and responsibility for their own learning with guidance from the teachers, while allowing room for playful curiosity. The school also places a focus on social responsibility, so my child isn't just getting an academic education but a social education as well: learning personal responsibility, learning to interact with mixed age groups, to problem-solve through conflict resolution, and to contribute through acts of kindness at school and at home. The school is delightfully "dumb" in that devices and online learning are not a part of the lower grade levels. The kids are taught cursive and write out most of their works. Homework is not introduced until the third grade level. And I love that kids have the option to work in the way that suits them best, whether that's on the floor, sitting at a desk, or standing at a table. They can work with a friend, or work alone in the quiet room to aid focus. The school understands that every kid's learning process is a little different and helps set the kids up for success. We feel so fortunate to have found this school that is so caring and inclusive of families of all races, ethnicities, gender identity, family structure, and/or socioeconomic status. In addition to feeling like the right learning environment for our child, we are so grateful to have found this community and be welcomed into it. We will be so sorry to leave after 6th grade!

We looked at many preschools before deciding to enroll at Concordia and we haven't looked back. From preschool all the way to sixth grade, this is a special place where the teachers and staff care about each and every child's academic and social development.

Its great to be a part of a long-standing community. Who knows, maybe my grandkids will go here some day!

I decided to take my son out of the previous day care he was at and put him in Happy Little Faces and the great difference of care shows. Additionally, all kids participate in all holidays and festivities. It is just so cute and adorable seeing our children recite in Spanish and dance to Latin music too.

Both my girls have attended what I thought was a daycare and quickly realized was a wonderful little school. They have both learned so much Spanish and have been thoroughly prepared to start school. Pilar and Marlene have taken such good care of my kids. They have so many great activities there including a Christmas party, a Santa visit/annual picture, a graduation ceremony (with caps and gowns!), field trips, a beautiful little book of photos when your little one finally leaves to go to Kindergarten, and more. Recently they even added an app so you can see videos and photos of what your kiddo is doing there during the day. I am sad to go, but a new travel adventure awaits us, so we must say "Adios!" Gracias Pilar y Marlene por todos!
