Schools in Concord, CA

“Both of my kids attended St Michael's preschool. We absolutely loved it. All the teachers are amazing and so supportive. My daughter was attending pre K during the pandemic and had to bring a computer every day to do online school. They put a classroom in place to support all the kids who had online learning. My son did pre K with st michaels since his birthday was outside of the time to attend public school. The difference in my kids is wild. My daughter did public pre k and with the online learning has a really hard time still in second grade. My son did the program offered at day care and is so advanced for kindergarten. The teacher put their own pre k curriculum together and my son learned so much. I can not recomend this school enough. They are so loving and kind and really teach the children the same principles.”

“Awesome place for special needs people to go each day. Loving, caring people work with them. They learn different skills, go on outings, play and have fun. I drive for Keolis transportation, pick up at home, take to program and home again. The staff is the greatest. Keolis is looking for drivers. I've been driving them for 28 years and love watching the excitement and smiles when they arrive at their program.”

“Where do I start. I can't thank sunshine house enough for how my daughter Gracie has been growing and preparing for starting school next year. Gracie started at sunshine house last year and has improved in every way. The staff at sunshine house through their positive attitudes and engagement with Gracie have shown her structural learning and play but, in the same breathe also shown her that she has the freedom and ability to try/ do new and challenging things. Miss Crystal and her staff have been amazing to say the least. Gracie has turned into a social butterfly and has been demonstrating everything she is learning at home with me and her little sister Glory. My interactions with all the teachers at sunshine house has been nothing but positive as well. They have been welcoming during every drop off and pick up, especially with Ms. Elisha in the mornings. Ms. Elisha is her favorite teacher. Gracie has enjoyed the bond that her and Ms. Elisha have formed. When I have a question Ms. Crystal has been prompt in response to any and all questions that come up. The staff at sunshine house has been very supportive and I'm grateful for them. Miss Crystal and all the teachers are really committed to providing a safe, fun and nurturing learning environment to allow Gracie to grow and flourish. I am very happy to be apart of the sunshine house family.”

“Our 4 year old just finished his 2nd year at the wonderful Step by Strep preschool and is now transitioning to TK. It's a very bittersweet experience as we hate to leave, but we are so grateful for the preparation and knowledge that he has gained over the past 2+ years. Without the mental, physical and emotional growth he has made in the last two years at SBSM he would not be ready. We are extremely appreciative of Marzi, who runs the program, and the rest of the wonderful staff.”

“Both of my sons attended Beginnings and Beyond Montessori School for two years and it was an incredible experience for our family. The teachers were absolutely wonderful - they were kind, caring, and truly invested in my son's growth and development. Ms. Cristina was especially amazing - she always went above and beyond to make sure my boys felt comfortable and engaged in their learning.I also appreciated the Principal, Ms. Robin's strict approach - she holds the teachers and students to high standards and it really paid off. My son made incredible progress during his time at Beginnings and Beyond. Ms. Robin also has a master's degree in Montessori Education and it really shows.Thank you to all the staff at Beginnings and Beyond for making such a positive impact on our family”

“Building Kidz is absolutely fantastic! Both my kids started here at 4-5 months and loved all the teachers. They've both learned so much. My oldest just started kindergarten at a public school and I have to say that BK prepared her so well for it. She is doing amazingly well because of all she learned at BK! My youngest is still in the toddler room and loves the music classes. The teachers are all so loving, understanding and willing to listen to any of your concerns. The director, Karen and the owner, Sangita are just wonderful at running this daycare and preschool. Communication is always great and the BK app is so helpful to get a peek at how your kids are doing during the day. Thank you, BK for taking such good care of my kids! :)”

“The faculty's dedication to nurturing each student's potential is evident in every aspect of their curriculum. From innovative teaching methods to a supportive environment, my daughter has thrived both academically and personally. The school's emphasis on holistic development ensures that she's not just learning facts but also gaining essential life skills. I'm grateful for the school's commitment to excellence and couldn't be happier with the education my daughter is receiving. Highly recommend!”

“My son have learned a lot going to Parkside Joyful Academy. He learned to count in Spanish and in English here. All the teachers are very friendly and he gets along with everyone. He loves following his teacher around and love to play with everyone. Sadly we are in the process of moving so we have to find a new daycare later, but overall this daycare is amazing.”

“My son has been going to King's Valley since kindergarten and is now in second grade. Enrolling him in this school was the best decision we've ever made! The teachers are amazing, loving and communicative - they treat their students like their own children. The office staff is friendly and eager to help with anything they can. Every student in my sons class is lovely and kind! I don't worry about him at school at all because I know he is being taken care of. His confidence has grown so much since he has attended and he comes home happy every day and excited to go the next day. If you want to be apart of a school that truly feels like family I would highly recommend King's Valley!”

“We brought our kids (age 6 and 2) to La Petite Concord for a week while visiting family in the area, and had a truly wonderful experience. The teachers and staff were loving, kind, and professional. Even our 2 year old, who struggles with new places and faces, didn't fuss and drop off. If we lived nearby, I would definitely bring my kids here full time--and we'll be back next summer!”
