The teachers were very attentive to each student's needs, and we loved their creative lesson plans. There was a follow-up email sent to the parents after each class with photos. This was very helpful for the parents to know what they were learning during each class. We also met such wonderful parents and other students. The Director, Sandy McCracken was very responsive to any questions that came up throughout the school year and is so passionate about the program! They have so many fun seasonal activities for the kids! Would highly recommend!

This preschool is such a gem. When I toured the site, I was very confident that this was the place…read morefor my child. It met my three non-negotiables: play-based learning, small class size, and quality educators. I am very pleased with the staff professionalism and home-school communication. The director, Mrs. McCracken, is very responsive to any questions or concerns, and she replies to emails so promptly. Responses are always more than adequate. The classroom teacher, Ms. Soares, is very knowledgeable and responsive, too. She sends weekly lessons plans and a daily recap of the children's day. Lessons and activities are developmentally appropriate. Also, she stays on top of kiddo's food allergy, especially when here are special events and the kids get little treats. Ms. Soares just has everything under control. The second classroom teacher, Miss Maddie, is always upbeat and positive. There are fun events for the children planned throughout the year, and sometimes there are opportunities for parent participation. It is such a treat to surprise my kiddo at school by showing up for a class party. My son just loves his teacher and is blossoming. CCC is truly a warm and welcoming community.

They take time to understand your child and help them progress in the areas they need it the most before kindergarten. They keep the kids on track to understand what they need to know before moving up (since now a days it is sooo much more). Our son will for sure be going here as well. If your looking for a school where the teachers are involved, personal and all around great with kids this place is it!

My kids made best friends there and the kids there are all good mannered and friendly. One thing I also love the most about Fairys Day Care is the delicious and healthy food she makes. I would recommend this amazing place strongly!

Her warmth, professionalism, and the loving environment she creates made the transition so much easier for our family. My daughter started with Golpar when she was just two years old, and now at three, I'm amazed at how much she's learned and grown. Every day she comes home excited, using new words and phrases, and sharing things she learned through Golpar's creative activities and thoughtful teaching. It's clear that so much care and intention goes into everything she does. What I appreciate most is that Golpar creates a space that is both nurturing and structured. She shows each child love and kindness while also setting appropriate boundaries, which has helped my daughter thrive socially and emotionally. Golpar has truly become like family to us. I feel so lucky that we found her, and I couldn't be more happy or grateful for everything she does for my daughter.

I would recommend SBSM to anyone who asked, it was really a wonderful experience from start to finish.

I came across the school simply driving by on my way home from Walnut Creek to Pittsburg. I now live in Clayton but used to commute and drop my daughters off everyday! They have part time and full time programs as well as half day preschool programs. They have three rooms and over eleven teachers some who have been there over 15 years. The teddy bear room is for children two years old and over and they help with potty training! They had my daughter potty trained in the first three weeks of the program. The butterfly room is for children 3-4 years of age. They have a pre-kindergarten program for children 4-5 years old. They do a fantastic job with kindergarten preparation teaching my daughter the solar system, stories, songs, science and continents. I am a nurse and I'm extremely focused on both the academic curriculum, class size and cleanliness of the facility. Michelle and the teachers do a fabulous job of keeping the facility clean. They send bedding home every week, apply sunblock to all children on sunny days, send out monthly reminders and academic calendars that outline what the children are learning as well as bike day, water days and festivals. They host the most adorable fall festival and holiday program where the children of each age group perform Christmas and winter songs. I have had two children in the program and they more than prepared my daughter for her kindergarten education.

The school is very particular on who they allow into the school. I like this because they seem to have really sweet kids, and kind families. I also respect the school keeps the class size small.

I then went on to join California's GATE (gifted and talented education) and eventually onto the University of California Santa Barbara. Wee Three Bears honestly set me up for the rest of my life, and I will always be grateful to the staff for their hard work and dedication and to my parents for sending me to Mrs. Casey and Ms. Teresa!
