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.

We're very grateful we found TCDS and wish we found it earlier. Prior to TCDS, we were in a couple different montessori schools in Pleasanton, but found a really great fit at TCDS. The teachers and all the staff are amazing. Our son loves his friends and teachers. He learned tons of social emotional skills, and we are very impressed. He is graduating this summer and he will be missing his friends and teachers a lot.

We have been parents at TCDS for about 5 years now, my son and daughter have both gone through most of the classrooms. This is such a lovely little school! The staff is caring, they are creative in projects and how they teach the kids and you can just tell the kids have a great time. We've been so grateful to find such a great preschool and will be sad to leave when my youngest goes to elementary school. It's been a great experience!

TCDS is a fantastic pre school. We have a son, 2 who joined the Busy Bugs last year and a child 5, who just graduated and is going to Kindergarten at Lydiksen in the Fall. We cannot say enough about how great the staff, care, and teaching are at TCDS. The kids absolutely love the school. Our kids have made amazing friends, hit their milestones, and have had fun doing it. The teachers are wonderful and truly care about the kids. Even though our daughter is no longer going to the school, she still talks about her teachers and gives them hugs when we pick up her brother. I highly recommend TCDS.

This school is wonderful. My son has been attending TCDS since October 2021, enrolled in the Jr-Kindergarten program with Miss Nicole. Searching for a preschool was challenging given the fact that my child has a severe peanut allergy. I was relieved to find out TCDS was a nut free school and, overall, a perfect fit for our family. Miss Lindsay, the Director, has been especially accommodating since day one. She sends out updates often so all parents stay in the loop. I truly feel that all the teachers genuinely care and that my son is in good hands when I drop him off. My son made friends, had fun learning various subjects, been involved in hands-on/interactive projects and is now ready for kindergarten. I couldn't have chosen a better school!

Referred here from a parent's group, and was lucky to get both of my kids into the school. The Child Day Schools, Pleasanton is so wonderful. The staff are great, kind, easy to talk to. They do a wonderful job mixing learning and play time, plus a lot of outdoor time which we love. It's hard leaving your kids in the care of others while working, but TCDS Pleasanton has made that easy for us. It's a magical place!

We were lucky enough to get a referral about The Child Days Schools in Pleasanton, and had been touring so many darycares/preschools at that point. Once we walked in to the campus, we immediately knew this was where we wanted to send our kids. The staff here is wonderful-- they are warm, fun, easy to talk to, and very much love the important work that they do. We felt the tuition was fair-- especially compared to many other larger corporate run centers in the area. Our kids love it here, and have learned so much, but have so much fun doing it.
