I don't believe the director, Wendy, had my sons best interest. Everything seemed great until we…read morementioned he doesn't nap unless waking up earlier, from then on it seemed as though she had made up her mind as to whether or not my son would be a "good fit". She called me twice with this concern before starting. We adjusted his schedule and he began napping at home around noon. 2.5 hours into his first day I received a phone call stating he's extremely overwhelmed, not wanting to participate in activities and trying to leave the classroom. He's 3 and has never been to a school before only home daycare. Of course he's overwhelmed. Instead of giving him a few days to adjust she was insistent he would not be a good fit and had us withdrawal. I also offered to become an aid and help him for the first few weeks, she refused. Children learn from consistency and repetition. They are also extremely receptive to rejection and my has never been more relieved to be see me. Be careful when looking into this place! They filter out any children that don't immediately conform to their standards.

This is my truth; I would not recommend this daycare or school. The way the director handled my…read moreson's situation did not align with the school's mission, which claims to promote diversity, allow students to grow at their own pace, and help them achieve success. Instead of helping behavioral kids improve, this school chooses to remove them. My son started in September 2025, but it only lasted two months. He was 27 months old when we decided to disenroll him, and it felt like we were forced to do so. September started off well, and I was hopeful this daycare was right for him. In October, however, there were many reported behavioral issues, and he was sent home almost every day he attended. He was only enrolled part-time on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. It started with biting. Apparently, there was no way to redirect or stop him, even though it happened right in front of the teachers' feet. This lasted two weeks. After that, it was hitting for a week, then throwing toys. We couldn't find the reason why he was doing this at school but not at home. Every conversation I had with the teacher or director was different, and their stories conflicted. The teachers would say his behavior was appropriate for his age, but the director would say the same thing, then add that my son should know better by now. As a first-time mom, it's hard to hear that my son is causing harm to other students. I could only do so much at home, and he was not doing these things there. When asked, there were many excuses: -he's overstimulated, language barrier, lack of communication, he's not around many 2-year-olds and at home it's only mom and dad, he's doing it all unprovoked, he would be a better fit in a smaller classroom with one-on-one support, there is no way of stopping him and if he wants something he just goes for it, why are we denying speech therapy (when the director did not know that when we spoke with the NorCal consultant, she said we could add it if the evaluator felt my son needed it, and as parents we did not feel he had a speech issue for his age), we budgeted to bring in another teacher to help, which didn't happen until a week before his disenrollment because I told them we were meeting with the NorCal referral people and were trying to make it work until then. My son started a new daycare a week after leaving Early Foundation, and he is doing great there. It wasn't all my son's doing, because two other students from his class at Early Foundation also joined after my son left. This shows they are not equipped to handle behavioral problems as they claim, and it's sad how easily they give up on a toddler. When I asked about a partial refund since my son did not attend the whole month of October, which I paid for out of pocket and not with any assistance, the director said no. Even though he was not there, he was sent home for bad behavior and kept a spot another child could have had. That, to me, shows it is all about business and greed. I did get a refund for Halloween, when I kept my son home because I was sure they didn't want him there anymore. Even depositing that refund felt embarrassing. We continued with the NorCal parent-infant program referral, just to give us some ease as first-time parents. All the consultants who came to evaluate my son said there was nothing wrong and that he didn't qualify for any assistance. So, if you are looking for a place that can handle many 2-year-olds and actually has the patience to help them grow, this is not the place!

My son has attended Shady Oaks since October 2011, beginning in the toddler program at the age of 2…read moreand continuing into the primary class (age 3-5). I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Montessori. I had a difficult time initially understanding how the system would work. Without structured lessons, how can your child earn the necessities like reading and numbers? It turns out that by allowing my son to spend as long as HE wants on a given activity he has flourished and gone so much farther than I'd ever imagined a child his age could in the subjects that most interest him. He's working with numbers in the 10,000s and can complete geography puzzles that would have me stumped. He spent months sewing yarn on square canvases to create a box, a little bit each day. I'm astonished by the focus and dedication a child under 6 can have to a project when allowed to work on what they choose, instead of at the teacher's behest. It's been a truly eye-opening experience about education. We are definitely Montessori converts and our 2 year old will be joining in the Fall. All the teachers and staff members are kind and attentive with many years of Montessori experience. They've encouraged my son to learn while guiding him through the lessons at his pace. He's excited to show me his work and takes pride in his accomplishments. It's been an awesome experience.

My daughter did 1st grade to 6th and this has been the best school. Ms Amy, incredible teacher!read more
