To the point that, I wasn't sure if I was going to send my daughter to pre-school before Kindergarten. That was until I learned about Tree of Life and met the owner Kelley, If you are looking for a place where you feel comfortable and happy every day to send your child to school, this is the school for you. This was my daughter's first experience being away from me and after only one day going School she fell in love with it. My daughter woke up every morning excited to go to school and sad to leave. She would count down the days when school was closed and ask me to wake her up early when the break was over. While my daughter quickly learned how to spell her name and read, in my opinion, what I appreciated the most was the life skills she gained. My daughter was taught kindness, honesty, giving back to the less fortunate and how important it is to respect all cultures and people. The owner Kelley is truly a gift. She has created a family dynamic on campus that is felt in every class. She is present on campus, connected with all parents and students and she staffs her school with the most amazing group of educators that truly love your children as their own. I feel extremely grateful and blessed to have gotten the opportunity to send my daughter to Tree of Life. It has set my daughter up for success for the rest of her life.

My daughter absolutely loved her time there. She had a transition period when she first started preschool, and the teachers did such an incredible job making her feel safe, loved, welcomed, and truly cared for. They created such a warm, nurturing environment, and as a parent, it meant so much to know she was with people I could completely trust. Ms. Carolyn, Ms. Amala, Ms. Venus, Ms. Joelle, Ms. Leanne, and all of the other teachers have been so kind, sweet, and loving. They truly go out of their way to make every child feel special and welcomed into their community. We are so grateful for the experience our daughter had at La Petite. It's honestly hard to find a preschool that matches the warmth, love, and sense of community they've created there. We will miss everyone so much and would recommend La Petite wholeheartedly to any family looking for a truly special preschool.

We love seeing how much she enjoys interacting with her friends and hearing her tell us about her day. The teachers are wonderful, caring, and attentive. I especially love being able to check in on her through the video during the day, as well as receiving daily pictures and videos of what the kids are doing. It gives us such peace of mind and lets us feel connected to her day. We're so grateful to have found such a great place for her to learn, grow, and have fun!

Most importantly, the kids really look forward to going! Here are the things we love most about Diablo hills country school: - flexible hours and reasonable pricing - incredible outdoor play area for the kids - kind teachers and communicative administration - so many fun and enriching activities - we also really like that it's family owned with a long history in the area.. that's hard to find these days.

Our daughter started at DHCS when she was two and she's now almost five. When we were looking for a…read morepreschool, we wanted a safe place where she could flourish creatively while also building the academic foundation she would need for kindergarten. We visited many other schools, but none of them made us feel like our child's happiness and safety were truly the priority. Many were Montessori programs with rigid classroom settings and rules that we felt were unnecessary for kids at this age. The family-run team at DHCS has always made us feel like partners in raising our daughter. Communication has been great and it's clear they really know each child individually. They've been flexible with schedule changes and even welcomed us back without requiring re-enrollment when we briefly tried a school closer to home after our second child was born. We continue to do the 30-minute drive each way because of how much benefit we've seen this school provide to our daughter. Over the years we've seen our daughter become more confident, social, and excited about learning, which has been wonderful to watch. They teach the kids about different holidays and cultures and always find a reason to celebrate. We also really appreciate how diverse the student body and teachers are, which helps create a welcoming environment where kids are exposed to many different backgrounds. They're not the cheapest school and not the most expensive, but for us it has absolutely been worth it. Every concern or piece of feedback we've provided has always been taken with great care and met with a professional, non-defensive attitude. A huge added bonus is the location -- the police station is right next door, which gives us extra peace of mind as parents. They also have a giant playground with all kinds of outdoor activities for the kids, and they strongly encourage outside play. The only downside is that they don't have a third location in Castro Valley or Hayward. One can dream... hint hint, Miss Angie and Miss Coco :)

We are so grateful for the amazing families we have met and the community that VPP creates. We cannot say enough good things about it or recommend it enough.

Another bonus - because it's a co-op, you get to know the other families really well and my children and I have all made what I hope are life-long friends through VPP!

We had an incredible experience at La Petite! Both my children attended from age 2 all the way…read morethrough age 5, until they transferred to TK at the nearby elementary school. I always felt completely confident in the care they received. The teachers are attentive, thoughtful, and create the sweetest crafts for the kids. I also really appreciated how they managed nap time--providing a structured 'quiet time' for children who didn't feel like sleeping so everyone felt included and rested. As a neighbor who lives nearby, I can personally confirm how clean and well-maintained the facility is, as I often saw the maintenance or cleaning crew coming in weekly after hours. One of my absolute favorite parts was their annual school pictures. They brought in a professional photography company to set up a temporary background in one of the classrooms for half a day. The professional photos of my children at that age are truly priceless, and I will forever cherish them. The Director, Ms. Anna, is truly beyond amazing--quite honestly my favorite human! She goes above and beyond to ensure every single child is cared for and was always attentive to our family's needs. She is warm, accessible, and remarkably perceptive; if she noticed friends having trouble playing well together, she would thoughtfully rearrange activities to keep things positive. I never once doubted that my child was getting the absolute best care with Ms. Anna and the dedicated team at La Petite.

Our son started at Redwood International Montessori 2 years ago. He is 4 now and is flourishing at…read moreschool. He can write from 1-50, knows quite a bit of Spanish, "reads" to the other kids and has learned so much more than I could've anticipated. He's an outgoing child and likes to goof around. The teachers give him space to be silly and can also authoritatively but compassionately reign him in. I know he'll be more than prepared for Kindergarten. The teachers also plan family events throughout the year such as Mothers and Fathers Day celebrations, concerts, grandparents day, and student birthday celebrations. They incorporate many days where the kids can bring items from home to share (such as hike day at school, bring your favorite book, etc.). Our son is always excited for these days. The location of the school is very convenient for our family. It's near 680 but not so close that you hear it. It's across the street from an area with swim lessons, gymnastics lessons, and indoor soccer, so our son always says "hi" to his school when we're going to activities there. Tuition is very comparable to other preschools, but this school offers helpful drop-off and pick-up times for two working parents. Not many preschools in the area offer the same times.

Long story short, after 4 months, more than 2/3 of her behavioral items, such as tantrum, difficulty in listening instructions, sharing with friends, etc, have been fixed and I can tell that even at our home. Our daughter loves her school, and is happy to go there everyday. The director Ms. Annagi has almost 40 years of experience in Montessori education. Other teachers (Ms. Yessania, Ms. Laxmi, Ms. Evelyn) are also very experienced. They know how to deal with problems of kids, and they guide kids to the right path without yelling or being frustrated. I saw that their tone of voice was calm but had discipline and charisma. Teachers are very communicative and always opened to discuss issues of children. If there's any issue, they give brief verbal report with advice when I pick her up. Also, the education of TRIMONT is well-balanced and well-organized. They give the monthly schedule filled with daily themes and focuses, and follow the schedule accordingly. Of course since it's Montessori school, each student learns by their own pace when it comes to phonics, math and other Montessori work, but they all learn various topics together which covers science, culture, art, geography, season, etc. Our 4.5 year old daughter already reads Kindergarten-level books, recognizes and writes numbers from 1-50, can even complete addition and subtraction. When we had a private conference before Thanksgiving holidays, they gave us a thorough assessment sheet about our daughter. We could easily understand her status and things she needs to learn more until Kindergarten. I'm very satisfied with TRIMONT, and would definitely recommend this school to others in area.

The "whole child" approach here isn't just a slogan. Beyond the impressive academics, the school places a strong emphasis on character development and kindness. My daughter has gained so much confidence in her abilities, and my son has made wonderful friends and developed a real curiosity for learning. The faculty is approachable and communicative, making us feel like true partners in our children's education. Having siblings at the same school can sometimes be tricky if the school only suits one personality type, but QLS has been fantastic for both of them. We are very proud to be a QLS family!
