Schools in Pleasanton, CA

“Ms. Molly is the best. She is kind, bright, and positive. My baby really likes her and always enjoys the time at Gymboree. Just a small wish is the music class was a little bit more developed.”

“Great director and teachers! Directors are friendly and always provide coordination, help, and flexibilities with their best efforts and in a timely manner. The teachers there are professional and friendly too, to whom I can easily approach and talk about my kids. Overall Yangfan is a very friendly and caring afterschool and day care. Both me and my kids are happy with it!”

“TCDS is a hidden gem and I feel fortunate that a friend told us about this school. From the first visit, I was impressed with the school's clearly articulated philosophy and the number of ways they've incorporated research to optimize learning. At the foundation, the school fosters a safe and connected environment between the students, teachers, and the families, knowing that this is necessary in order for children to access their brain's executive state. All the teachers care about the kids, saying hello and goodbye to them by name, and practice conflict resolution skills to help develop awareness, empathy, and life skills. When it comes to the curriculum, they've incorporated research-based approaches like projects webs and high scope so kids can be hands-on, engaged, and develop a love for learning. Since my son started at TCDS a couple months ago, I've seen him become much more confident in himself, be more self-sufficient, and is excited about what is he doing and learning at school.If you have an opportunity to send your child to TCDS, I'd highly recommend it. The teachers genuinely care about the kids, and I've always felt comfortable asking questions or discussing concerns.”

“Our son has been going to the early preschool classroom for almost three months now.Choosing this school has been the best decision we have taken for our son.The teachers and staff are very nice and warm people. The facility is very clean and also pretty secure.The classroom schedule is a very good balance of indoor and outdoor activities.We get to see daily updates and pictures on the Procare App.A special shoutout to the teachers of the early preschool classroom. You guys are making a huge impact in our son's life.”

“How lucky we found the Beth Emek Preschool for our little son's first preschool. We love all the super friendly staff. The communications from the school are top-notch even though it's such a small setting school. My son learned good manners and to follow rules and orders, after attending this school. He wasn't an easy kiddo to manage at all, but I never heard about complaints or issues from his teachers here. He was having a lot of issues while he attended the summer camp at Gingerbread (the tolerance at Gingerbread seems to be low). I worried if he could fit in well at Beth Emek when he started in the fall. He adapted really well, and he is enjoying going to Beth Emek to see his teachers and friends. We commute from Dublin to here for 5 days/week, it's a long drive, but we feel it's totally worth it. I cannot describe how much my son and my whole family love this school. And the pricing is very reasonable compared to other schools. Highly recommend this school to everyone.”

“This review is for my daughters favorite teacher Ms Swati. My daughter likes her a lot and will miss her so much once she transitions to a new school. Ms. Swati is an exceptional pre-K teacher who has had a great impact on my daughter's learning. Her passion, innovative methods, and nurturing classroom environment have helped my daughter grow academically and gain confidence. I have seen so much improvement in my daughter when it comes to handwriting and math. Ms Swati is an outstanding educator!”

“Highly recommended! We started our daughter here when she turned two and she has absolutely loved it! I recommend taking a tour to see the property and meet the Director Laura and some of the staff. Laura is incredibly dedicated, professional and supportive. Our daughter is so excited each morning to know she's going to school (day care) and always happy when we pick her up. On her second day when we went to pick her up she wanted to stay! We thought it could be a honeymoon phase of something new but she continues to be excited and comfortable there. They encourage you to drop in and welcome calls to check in, especially in the beginning which was very appreciated as we transitioned. They use an app to periodically share updates and photos about your child(ren). I also love the events they have throughout the year at the school, we get to meet more of the community and experience first hand just how much she loves the school + staff. We've seen her development and social skills progress significantly in one year with their support. We truly feel like she's been surrounded by the best caregivers and educators, we are so thankful to have found Early Years!”

I am very impressed with all the health safety measures that they have taken to ensure that my daughter My daughter was guided towards toilet independence in an excellent manner. She is excited to go to school every morning and talks more about her classmates. Most importantly my daughter demonstrates good manners which makes me so proud.The classrooms are clean, safe and well-equipped with materials specifically designed to promote exploration and learning. My daughter is gaining so much confidence, learning so many life skills, improving academically in math, writing and critical thinking.The communication system is absolutely amazing. Ms. Lena and Ms. Huang give a call right away if there is any concern and they keep us updated with app Bloomz where we can keep track of classroom learning experience, activities and outdoor play as well during the day. The Montessori curriculum and hands on activities are excellent and I really appreciate that her teachers spend time to sit and assist her with drawing and writing, and actively communicate her progress with me. She is gaining so much confidence, learning so many life skills, improving academically in math, reading and critical thinking.I just love the events in this school especially Halloween parade, winter concert and Chinese new year parade. The tuition fee is very reasonable and my daughter likes school lunch and snacks very much. My daughter is truly passionate with all the enrichment classes that include Kung-Fu, Art, Dance and STEM. She is gifted in her educational, social and enrichment talents with the children. I highly recommend PBMP and consider it as a blessing for my daughter.”

“I can't say enough good things about Genius Kids in Pleasanton! The owners and staff are all great educators and caretakers. My child grew tremendously during her time there as a preschooler. Verbal and social skills, confidence, and academics.”

“My daughter attended this wonderful institution, and I couldn't be more pleased with the education and care she received. One of the standout aspects of Quarry Lane Preschool is the exceptional teaching staff. The teachers here are not just educators but also inspiring mentors for young minds. They have a remarkable ability to engage and encourage children, fostering a love for learning. My daughter was particularly inspired by her teacher, who played a significant role in her educational journey. The STEM curriculum at Quarry Lane Preschool is top-notch. It's structured in a way that not only introduces children to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics but also makes these subjects exciting and accessible. My daughter's interest in STEM subjects has grown significantly during her time here, thanks to the engaging curriculum and hands-on activities.”

“Little flower is our favorite school among the few my son attended. They have great teachers and the playground is very nice. Their food is great and my son always ate a lot there and told me about the snacks he had, like pita bread with hummus m! I think they order food from Costco as I saw the delivery truck some times. I recommend this school to every kid who would like to be taken care of and educated well.”

“Excellent center! Incredible support staff! Been with KinderCare for over 3+ years, with two kiddos, & this site and exceptional on communication, which was big for us! Highly recommend:)”

“I'm a first time mom, but this place checked off all the boxes for us (state certified, regular communication with parents, covid safe). Our four month was only there for a little over a month, but we would have stayed longer if we could! I took too long deciding, so we were only able to have our baby go during the interim of when the new babies were starting. They strictly follow state guidelines on infant to caretaker ratio and require certifications for new teachers. We were hopeful they would find someone in time, but we knew eventually we'd have to pick someplace closer to our home because my husband is deploying later this year. They use brightwheel to send photos and communicate diaper changes, feedings, naps and Watch Me Grow to see real time video inside the classroom. I would regularly share the Brightwheel photos with my friends/family and she was always so happy looking! It was obvious she was enjoying her time there. The only caveat is that it is expensive, but still cheaper than a nanny. And they still did plenty of one-on-one time with her and the other babies as well. Our baby who never took a bottle started downing 3-4oz of 2-3 bottles. She also would only contact nap with us, and she slept on her own in a crib there. It was well worth the $$ in my opinion!”
