“A great experience coming here. The teachers are very kind and caring and are always hosting an interesting and engaging curriculum for the kids. It's a play-based learning school and I feel like my daughter has grown and learned a lot here.”
“We were very lucky to have found Latchkey for our 2023 summer camp option. First, and most importantly, the staff are genuinely engaged with the children and enjoy what they are are doing. Ms. Nicole and Mr. Matt (along with the rest of the staff) were constantly being talked about how fun they were by my daughter when we picked her up. Second, the hours of operation were perfect for us working parents. Latchkey offers standard 8am-5pm summer camp hours with the option of early 7am drop-off or late 6pm pick-up for a nominal cost if needed. The regular 8am-5pm hours were so much more generous and practical for the working parent than almost all other summer camp options I had researched (most of which started at 9am and ended 3:00/3:30pm, which would never had worked out for us). Third, the activities and excursions offered are varied and fun. They had a TK/K small summer camp group which did not go on all-day excursions like the older kids did, which was great because my K-rising daughter would not have been able to handle all-day field trips. The patience the staff had with the children was especially admirable (my daughter cried at drop-off everyday and still the staff were so nice and understanding each day). I totally recommend Latchkey as a great summer camp option and I'm looking forward to next year's enrollment. It's run by wonderful people and they deserve much appreciation.”
“I can't say enough praises to this school and it's Principal!The values of the school and it's leadership and teachers are beyond believe!! The way every student and parent is treated at the school is outstanding!All subjects are taught at least 1 year above all other private schools and actually at a High schools level. The education children get at Hilldale is PRICELESS!!PLEASE, TRUST ME, IT IS WORTH YOUR EVERY PENNY AND MORE!!The discipline at school is very strict which is perfect and creates very organized and structured environment, which promotes education, not playing around. Don't take me wrong, they have lots of fun days, activities, parties, etc. "Work hard and play hard", but work is Hilldale's first priority. It gave my daughter an invaluable experience and education which prepared her for high school better than all other students in her grade from different private schools. Hilldale school leadership will always accommodate a student whether he/she is above or below the average and needs some curriculum adjustment. There are many, many more plusses and advantages at Hilldale, that i can't even fit all in this review. The most personable and amazing principal, who cares about every single child GENUINELY and is always willing to help.If you are looking for THE BEST EDUCATION in Bay Area, this school is for you!”
