Schools in Monterey, CA

“My son has been at Great Beginnings for a year now, but several months in it was very clear that he was flourishing so much there. He started at 2 years old with very limited vocabulary, but within a few months he was very talkative. The staff has always been very kind and attentive. It can be uneasy to be away from your child at such a young age, but we always know he is in good hands there. There is a variety of activities for the kids to do, all while balancing learning and play. My son always usually comes home in a good mood after spending the day there. We highly recommend Great Beginnings!”

“So happy we found this preschool! My cousin highly recommended them, and were so glad to have chosen them for our son. The teachers are amazing, miss Debbie and miss Olga are so warm and my son loves them. They encourage the kids to be adventurous and curious, and even noticed my son loved art and encouraged him to continue to explore it. Miss Monique the director is amazing. You can really tell they love what they do. They follow Covid protocols and made us feel comfortable with our son return to school. So sad that this is our son's last year but can't wait to bring our youngest there in a couple of years!”

“Teddy Bear Preschool is amazing! My son has been going there since November of 2020 and absolutely loves it. It was a difficult decision to put him in school with the worry of Covid but Teddy Bear takes all the necessary precautions to keep the kids and staff safe. Additionally, the director and teachers are responsive and communicative- I feel like I can reach out anytime.My son loves the classroom environment, seeing his friends and teacher each day, as well as the different playgrounds they rotate through during the week. Mrs. Connie has been an amazing teacher and he is always so excited to go to school. Each month there is a different theme that coincides with the daily art projects they do which helps him learn and develop new skills in an easy going manner. I couldn't be happier with the decision to pick Teddy Bear as our preschool for our three year old.”
