Schools in Monterey, CA

“Our children (ages 2 and 4) attended Great Beginnings for only 10 months, but in that time we truly grew to love the school. The teachers are all responsive, caring, and truly seem to enjoy their jobs. The outdoor play areas are fantastic, and the variety of activities throughout the day are age-appropriate, fun, and purposeful. We truly felt sad when it was time to move on, as it was difficult to say goodbye to such the wonderful staff and the excellent learning and socializing opportunities for our children. We would absolutely recommend this school to anyone looking for quality childcare in the Monterey area.”

“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.”

“This school is really fun and the teachers, staff, and kids there are very friendly, however this school is way too expensive ,but other than that is a perfect place to get education:)Class of 2015”
