Cory is amazing, she is so nice and helpful and explained everything about the school. His teachers are awesome and you can tell they really love and care about the kids that they teach. My son has a nut allergy and asthma and they took the time to talk to us and ask us questions about his condition. The facility is very clean and safe and I feel very comfortable leaving my son there. It's only been one week and he is so happy there that he gets upset when we come to pick him up. If you are looking for a great preschool, I highly recommend CLC.

She comes home every day with something new she's learned and it's been such a joy to see her confidence and personality just bloom! Ms Brooke is the BEST! Sending your first baby out into the world is terrifying but the staff at Storyland, especially Ms Brooke, goes out of their way to be warm, enthusiastic and welcoming in the morning to ensure for an all-smiles drop off. We are just blown away with all that our daughter has learned at Storyland so far! Traditional academics aside, they also go over emotions, baking/cooking, responsibilities and public speaking and so much more. We recently attended a tour for the TK-12 school we are looking at for her next, and we were so proud that nearly everything on the curriculum for the TK/K classes, she's already learned this past year. We love that our daughter is being set up for success with all that she is learning at Storyland! Can't recommend this place enough!

My 10-mo. old daughter, an only child, was enrolled here, and she benefited so much from being with…read moreother babies her age. She came home having learned to crawl, pull herself up and lower herself down. I especially want to call out how wonderful the staff. Her teachers Miss Aiyala and Miss Antonia were so sweet. They call me for questions about how best to care for Olivia, and Ms. Aiyala took the best photos and videos. They were also religious about making sure her diapers are changed often, as my daughter had a stubborn diaper rash several months ago that left me paranoid. She never had any diaper rash during her stay here. School administrators Ms. Antjuanette and Ms. Sarah are amazing. They are a skeletal crew and wear multiple hats. I don't know how they manage it all. They have to be substitute teachers when a teacher gets sick, they have to fix my hiccups with their mobile app Tadpole, etc. I didn't give 5 stars because their mobile app (where they log in my daughter's feeding and diaper changes and photos) was down so many days for me, and there were 2 days when my door access code just stopped working and had to be reset. My daughter also hardly napped, because they could not turn off the overhead fluorescent lights. I was told this was to ensure visibility on the babies and prevent SID. Overall, I am thankful for and love the staff. I hope these 4 amazing ladies get recognized for all the hard work they do. I love getting my daughter's "artwork" every week, too. She definitely had a lot of fun and care here.

Robyn helped us potty train her easily and it's been such a loving nurturing environment. LPS staff has been our second family. The teachers are the reason why we chose to bring her here. Teacher Serena deserves a special acknowledgement as she navigated online distance learning in 2020. It was a tough year when she started kindergarten but LPS did an amazing job providing a nurturing and navigating through all the complexities due to COVID. I can't thank them all enough for everything they've done. We also have two little girls both in LPS in teach Sara's class and with Teacher Kathy and Becky! Our girls LOVE LPS. The staff has been there for 20+ years and even teacher Evelyn who retired comes back every now and then to help out when needed. She does this because she loves the kiddos. Robyn is now the Director which is fantastic she's been a teacher for many years and has always communicated effortlessly. Our kids love all the teachers but they absolutely adore teacher Stacey. They talk about her all the time and even ask for play dates and sleepovers with her, that's awesome!!! We are so happy with this preschool and blessed to call it our kiddos second home/family

The preschool has flexible hours and works with parents to accommodate their schedules. The staff and teachers are experienced, friendly, and supportive. The school and parent board works hard to plan fun, family-friendly activities- like movie nights, carnivals, and class plays. Through the pandemic the preschool has taken precautions to keep our kids and families safe; their communication and transparency has been greatly appreciated. My favorite part about my experience with LPS has been the friendships I've made with the other parents and the life-long friendships my kids will have. Oh, and the art projects the kids bring home are amazing!!

They create a warm, welcoming environment where kids feel safe and excited to learn every day. I've seen so much growth and confidence in my 3-year-old daughter since starting here. A huge plus for us has been the onsite enrichment programs, like soccer and Spanish class, which means we don't have to spend our evenings driving around town for extra activities. Also, the live camera access is a much appreciated added bonus that our last daycare didn't have.

As a former parent of a child who was enrolled at this school, I wanted to write my review based on…read morefacts and what I observed at the school during that time. There were good things about this school but over the last several months, something at the school has changed. These are my views and based on knowledgeable firsthand facts. Lack of Proper Oversight - The school has been hit by licensing several times over the last 6 months (details and sign up of alerts can be found here https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/carefacilitysearch/FacDetail/013421352). The staff will constantly turn their backs, be on their phone, stand in areas that block views, and leave children unattended constantly. For example, I picked up my son in late March (5ish) and the number of kids was 18 for one teacher, all different ages playing outside on the playground. Also, I dropped off my son last week (8:20 am), and noticed the number of kids was 30+ but only two teachers were outside (Ratio is supposed to be 12-1). I have noticed a constant repetitive pattern, and it looks like other parents have communicated these same issues to licensing. Lack of Proper Teaching - During afternoon nap time, I signed my son up for additional academic learning programs that were offered. This program, Early Explorers, was designed to provide additional education to kids that were dropping their naps. It wasn't a free choice and required parents to pay extra. Over the last six months, the program went from fun academic learning to additional free play outside. During their free play outside, nothing academic or educational was provided, it was only more play outside on the playground. When questioned about why I was paying for a program that was advertised as additional learning opportunities, an excuse about lunch breaks was communicated to me. Lack of Proper Intervention / Regulation - During my time there, multiple reports were communicated to me about my son's incidents. During these incidents it was made clear that teachers were not properly trained in the right child development techniques and were constantly intervening when situations escalated to the highest levels. For example, my son had several incident reports for physical violence, when questioned about the lead up to the situation, it was clear that my son communicated he needed another child to respect his space. The teacher watched my son communicate multiple times that my son needed space, intervening after things escalated physically between the two children. During another incident, I questioned the teacher asking things like "can you tell me more about when and how you stepped in?" or "Can you provide me with facts leading up to the situation?", which caused teachers to not provide adequate details about the situation. Lack of Communication to parents by the Owner and Leadership - A situation came up last year where parents were passing around a picture of my son being restrained by a teacher. That picture was provided to me six months later when another parent asked about the situation, thinking I knew about it. Nothing was communicated to me by leadership or the owner until I comforted them about it. When asked why this wasn't brought to my attention, the excuse "an internal investigation happened" was used. Then questioned again on why I wasn't made aware of this, the comments "well the child's parents were notified", I was the parent of the child, and it was clear Leadership was trying to keep it from us.

I am a former VMS student from way before they built this campus. From before the middle school was…read morea single room behind the Livermore Valley Tennis Club. I wanted to say that I attribute much of my present success to the advanced education I received at this school. They really encourage children to learn at their own rate, accommodating those who learn faster and those who need extra help. Beth Marshall was my teacher for most of my years here, and I know she no longer works there, but I hope they still teach in that style. The way they let the parents and children set the child's own standards for grading, and have the child assemble their own portfolio and present is unique (as far as I know). We kids felt like we had some say in how we were being taught and had more interest in school than I think any kids in public school had. By the time I entered high school at Amador, the only classes that compared at all in quality were the honors and AP classes. Besides the outstanding education I received, I fondly remember the field trips, holidays, PE classes, electives (enrichment), meditation, etc. It was a very stimulating environment and I'm glad I got to experience it. I am giving 4 stars because I don't know if what I experienced as a child is still the norm for VMS now. For any who care to know, I am now pursuing my PhD in Molecular Bio at UCSD. How much is nature vs. nurture, and how much VMS contributed to the "nurture" aspect, I don't...but looking on Facebook at my VMS classmates, I can say that all of them seem to be thriving as well. Really though, it may be because all of their parents are brilliant and therefore have lucrative careers that allow for them to send their children to schools like this. I don't know. PS-The teachers here (at least the ones I had) really care about the kids. I have seen and corresponded with some recently and was very touched to be so remembered. Thanks, VMS!

As a first-time mom, the thought of sending my son to daycare was honestly nerve-racking. My son…read morehad never been away from me before, so we decided to try Primrose Livermore's Discovery Days--and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. On his first Discovery Day, my son cried almost the entire time because it was his first real separation from mom. But the teachers were incredibly patient, gentle, and loving. They held him, comforted him, and truly cared for him throughout the day. What meant the most to me was how often they updated me--sending pictures and notes through the ProCare app so I knew exactly how he was doing. Being able to see that he was safe and in caring hands helped ease my anxiety tremendously. Since he had such a tough first day, we decided to bring him back for a second Discovery Day to see if he was more ready. This time, everything changed. When my son saw Miss Anna and Miss Sandra, he recognized them and calmed down after few minutes and enjoyed his lunch and snacks. He looked so much more comfortable and ended up having an amazing time! I received tons of photos again, and I could tell from the updates that he was playing, smiling, and really enjoying himself. When I picked him up, he seemed genuinely happy--loving his teachers and even interacting with friends. I left feeling so relieved and confident that he might actually be ready for daycare. Before all this, I had spoken with Adrian, the Director, because I had a lot of questions and concerns as a new mom. She was incredibly understanding and patient, answering every single question with transparency and warmth. After meeting her and seeing how she ran the school, I felt reassured and gained a sense of trust that I didn't have before. Overall, Primrose Livermore made what could've been an emotional and stressful transition into something positive and encouraging. The staff truly cares, the communication is excellent, and the environment just feels safe and nurturing. We're now planning to send our son to Primrose San Ramon once it opens, since it's closer to home--and I'm truly hoping it will be just as wonderful as the Livermore location. If it's anything like our experience here, I know our son will be in great hands.

She has already learned so much in just a few weeks, and we can see how much she enjoys her time there. The structured yet fun environment keeps her engaged, and the communication from the staff has been excellent. The updates throughout the day give us peace of mind, and it's wonderful to see her happy and thriving. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be loved, supported, and encouraged to grow, I highly recommend Primrose! A huge thank you to Ms. Sandra, Ms. Anna, and Ms. Kiara for making this transition so smooth for our family.
