The teachers are great and they have very fun activities for the kids - especially for holidays like Halloween and Valentine's day. My son was reluctant to leave when it was time to start TK. One other thing I appreciated was that there was a lot of care and consideration for both kids and parents from the director - there was clear communication on expectations, upcoming events and changes so that things didn't come as a surprise. I would highly recommend!

She is about to…read morestart Kindergarten, and while excited for her next step, we are truly going to miss Grow Smart. She had an incredible experience there and loves going everyday. When we go on vacation she always says how she misses school, her teachers, and friends, and is genuinely excited to go back, which is so reassuring as a parent. We originally chose Grow Smart after touring many places because the facility feels very secure and private. They have an amazing outdoor play area but it's completely private and cannot be seen from the street at all, which I love. All of the teachers and staff have been great and they really go above and beyond with things like their summer program with themed weeks, water days and special guests, a preschool graduation that was better than many kindergarten graduations I've been to, and my daughters favorite, Pizza Fridays! We can't say thank you enough to Grow Smart for their loving care of our daughter for the past 2 years.

    About 6 months ago, my son's daycare closed leaving my family in a lurch. We loved his former…read morepreschool but didnt have a choice but to look into our options. I reached to to Silverman based on the recommendation of a friend. We immediately were scheduled for a tour, however upon arrival to the school, there were no staff around to welcome us. Eventually my husband found someone who does maintenance for the school and he gave us a brief tour. No one really answered our questions or directed us from there, and ultimately we found another school that was a bit more engaged on the front end, which made us feel more comfortable. I also am a bit concerned about the intense negativity on this page and attacking of former parents. Does not seem like a healthy environment for any of our children.

    This school is such a disappointment and I'm actually very heartbroken. We first enrolled in 2020…read more It was a great school, despite COVID, and the campus is beautiful. But, the long-time preschool director left in 2021. Ever since, the school has gone downhill in quality, compassion, and communication. Year after year we kept hoping it would improve and the administration assured us improvements were forthcoming, so we stayed. They never materialized. We also stayed because the teachers are really wonderful. But, they're working against an administration that does not care about them. The failings of the school fall squarely on the shoulders of the administration that constantly demands the teachers take shortcuts. I highly recommend any potential new parent consult the California Department of Social Service's website about this school (and any school) before enrolling. Silverman has had many complaints lodged against them by numerous individuals in the last 2-3 years. Many of the complaints have been substantiated, including a Type A violation on November 27, 2023 where they put babies in immediate danger (Complaint No: 51-CC-20231117141330.) The school administration did not inform enrolled parents (including us) that they received this violation despite direct instructions from the licensing department to do so. I only learned about this violation and the website to find complaints a few days ago. The website is: https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/carefacilitysearch/. (It might be easier to google CCLD Transparency). The facility numbers for Silverman are: Infant center: 376701134; Preschool: 372001648 Additionally, I agree with another reviewer - besides poor management, the operating hours are very limited, the school does not provide food, there are many days the school is closed throughout the year (including a 2-week winter break, spring break, and summer break in addition to Jewish holidays and Federal holidays), they do not consistently provide pictures or updates throughout the day, the administration does not clearly communicate with parents or staff, and the facilities require maintenance. Recently, a tree crashed through the window of the infant classroom. Thankfully, no children or teachers were harmed. Overall, you may pay a little bit more for another school, but you will have increased services, proper administrative oversight, transparency, and peace of mind.

There is so…read moremuch to like at this school, from the focused and kind leadership of the director, to the Reggio-inspired philosophy, to the diversity of staff and families (which our queer and mixed race family values). We feel like our kiddo has learned a lot about community and herself. There are some downsides, as there are everywhere. I don't love the location, right off a busy road, and there's been some teacher turnover, but the school feels really safe behind gates, with a lovely outdoor play area, and there's been a lot of continuity with other teachers. We're headed to TK soon and are really, really bummed to leave the BunnyBears family, but are so glad for the experience.

    We've been at BunnyBears for two years, and it's been the best experience for my son. We chose this…read morepreschool because we wanted a focus on social emotional development, and a place that allows the kids to play and explore. This school is exactly that - they put so much effort into giving the kids freedom to figure out who they are and explore their interests, all while teaching them how to be good friends and kind little humans. This is not a traditionally structured preschool - you won't find worksheets or desks, but you will find a Reggio style environment that intentionally allows the kids to lead. No school is perfect, but it's clear the teachers are all trying their best to create a safe and open environment for the kids. Teacher Donna, Teacher Linnea, and all the other teachers, have had a huge impact on my son, and we can't thank them enough. We'll miss the sweet little BunnyBears community!

    My kids have attended FHPP for a couple of years and now that my almost 5 year old is about to head…read moreinto kindergarten I wanted to let others know that their children are in safe and caring hands at FHPP. I think that teachers make so much of the difference in a child's experience so I feel pretty fortunate that my sons have had Mrs. Dominic (4 year old room) and Mrs. Conway (3 year old room) during their time at FHPP. Both ladies are sweet and loving and seem to genuinely love teaching the littles. Mrs. Dominic has pulled me aside to show me pictures she took during class of my son playing nicely with other children (I previously expressed concerns about his social skills) and she even mentioned one other child in particular with a disposition similar to my son. I have since arranged wonderful private play dates with the other child and his mother! Mrs. Conway always welcomes my youngest with a big warm greeting and although he somewhat reluctantly enters class at each drop off, he enthusiastically reports back to me that Mrs. Conway is his "best friend"! And the office is managed by the nicest ladies around. Robin (director) and Melissa (assistant director) always greet me like a member of the family... sometimes (okay, often) I'm late, they are warm; many days I'm disheveled, they are welcoming; and on more than a few occasions I've needed a few minutes of adult interaction, they are willing to take 5 minutes to ask how I am. They take a true interest in my kids and my family. I feel fortunate to have found FHPP!

My son, who is 1 1/2 years old currently goes there for their newly opened infant room. I love it and so does he! As soon as we get there, he waltzes right in and starts playing, and get this, he doesn't even cry when I leave, rather, he cries when I come pick him up and take him home haha. The teachers who take care of the little ones in the infant room are so loving, and take the time to teach and play with the kids. Also, the director Robin is so amazing. Super kind and understanding! It is an all-around great program, and can't wait to have my son spend his next few years there!

She has excelled so much socially and in her motor skills, routine skills, and so much more. We also brought our 2 year old to BB after being in an at home daycare and were thrilled with the gentle and kind care Ms Megan gives to the little ones. Both kids really enjoy the playground, learning by play activities and the special crafts they get to make every day. Our family loves the events that BB puts so much effort into, like the Holiday Sing, Thanksgiving tea and more throughout the year. We also love that they offer soccer shots (added cost by separate company) on site optionally. Our oldest is transitioning to TK and will surely miss BB, but we are happy to keep our little one there throughout the next 2 grades. Thank you to all of the kind and special teachers and admins. Ms Francesca, Ms Thavey, Ms Megan, Ms Karen, Ms Egle, Ms Tonya. Our oldest will miss you all so much!
