You will be satisfied. Kumon day is where they can spend the KUMON BUCKS they ear for homework and good performance during class.

We only left because we moved out of state. Even when we come back and visit, they allow her to do drop ins! They supported me with everything!

They say that it takes a "Village" to raise a child and they were exactly that for me and my daughter.

Like LOVED IT. I am writing this at the end of the week because my son was demanding I cancel next week's camp somewhere else so he can go back to Cometa. They have great hours, well-planned days with lots of opportunities to learn and practice Spanish, daily outings using their vans (the outings were very fun for our kiddo), and home cooked meals and snacks. Our kid did the "cooking" week and he was truly transformed by it. I think the staff did a great job choosing simple recipes that were delicious too and were very patient and caring during the lesson. Everyday they made something new and that was super fun. We are so happy with the staff, they were very professional and child-centered, and exuded warmth and a sense of belonging for the little ones. We plan to come back next summer and for other camps during the school year. They do aftercare too, but we're based in San Leandro so that doesn't work for us. Nevertheless, their afterschool program sounds really wonderful too.

We speak both English and Spanish at home, but my kid wasn't really picking up much Spanish until she joined. Since then, her Spanish vocabulary has grown tremendously. She really loves going and always looks forward to it. Plus, the school pick-up has been super easy with no problems at all. We also participated in their summer program and loved that the kids were getting exposed to different settings like a ranch and my child loved seeing chickens and horses. I'd definitely recommend this program to other families!

Every school has its issues and qualms, but at the end of the day, the school is solid, the curriculum is sound, and the community is loving. You get what you put in; if you're an involved parent who attends meetings, chats at drop off/pick up, and signs up to be on the boards and play in the CYO sports, you'll feel the incredible sense of the OLG community. If you only drop off and read the emails, you'll feel excluded, and the love will be lacking. Writing a negative review about your and your child's experience is very easy, but you must give a complete and truthful review. Pieces are missing, and no one is a victim in the situation. I love OLG and the foundation that it has built for my children. It's disheartening to see negative reviews that bring down a score for a lovely school whose staff and students work very hard to build a community filled with Truth, Unity, and Love. In the end, experience it for yourself. If interested, please attend the open house or welcome day. All are invited to tour the classes, meet the teachers and staff, talk with other parents, and, most importantly, meet some students. Don't let negative reviews impact your decision without experiencing all of OLG's excellent qualities firsthand.

When searching for a preschool, my criteria was an environment that epitomizes the Montessori…read moremethod as well as being safe and clean. Not only did I encounter that at The Montessori Giving Tree but I found an environment that my little one thrives in. My child has been with the school for almost one year and is excited to go to school every day. Tasha teaches the children respect and helping others out when needed. She is always there to answer any questions I have regarding the curriculum or if I feel my child needs to focus on an item she is more than happy to assist. I visited 6 different schools and this school was the only one that held up to my standards. Children are not running around screaming when in the classroom and Tasha ran me through each Montessori learning item and explain how the child will use the tools. The other schools just showed me where the tools were and that they were available to the kids. She has a little area outside where the kids can run around and play (this is when they probably do scream and it's okay) when the weather is nice. I read the review about limiting the snack quantities. Personally I find this acceptable because this way all the children will get an equal amount of food. If you just let the kids gorge themselves on what they like then they will not learn to share and inevitably 1 or more child will not get the item. In addition, if a child is given a bowl of carrots and a bowl of crackers, which snack do you think they will inhale? This way, each child will get a more balanced snack. Overall, my little one is extremely happy with the school and has never complained. In just a little under a year, she has already learned so much and made some great friends.
