Our child spent three years at MSLM and received a tremendous educational start. She will soon be…read moremoving on to a well regarded private school, and our family is still bummed that's she's aged out of MSLM. Enthusiastically recommend MSLM for other families looking for a well-rounded education (age-appropriate STREAM/SEL) and phenomenal educators in a very supportive environment for their kids. Children learn a lot because everyone at MSLM does a great job of making learning fun, interesting, and challenging. MSLM celebrates the uniqueness of each child, with teachers regularly customizing lessons to meet the individual needs of the children. The school is very organized thanks to top-notch administration. Communication is outstanding. MSLM is exceptionally dedicated (as evidenced in part by remaining safely open in-person during the entirety of COVID). It is also a kind and friendly place. MSLM is an absolute gem. We are convinced that they could easily increase their tuition. If you're lucky enough to secure a spot for your kiddo at MSLM, jump at the opportunity. Your child will thank you.

We started in 2022 when my daughter was just over 2.5, and PCNS has become a 2nd home for us. The…read moreschool has a great playground (open to the public during non-school hours) and is housed in a unique and very cool old Quonset hut! There are bathrooms with tiny toilets & sinks (which my early-potty trainer loved), lots of great toys, an area for imaginative play, giant blocks for building forts, a swing in the middle of the room they pull out on rainy days, and an area for arts and crafts. They have tricycles, sand toys, a vegetable garden, swings, a giant play structure, a mud kitchen...the list goes on. The new Director has super creative ideas and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to kids this age. The Co-op structure is brilliant. It really is the answer to the 'village' we all need as parents, but no longer have. If you want a school where you get to know all the other families and their kids, and create lifelong friendships, this is the place for you. I've also learned a ton about my own kids (my 2nd just started at PCNS this fall) - how they operate in their first real social group, what their challenges are, etc. AND I have learned plenty about parenting, from watching how the teachers handle big feelings and tricky situations, to seeing my peer-parents with their own children. PCNS is a play-based school, and what the children really learn is how to interact with each other socially, and appropriately in a classroom. All of the PCNS Alumni that I know are now in Kindergarten and TK at local schools are thriving. It's a lovely school and an absolute gem in Pacifica.

There's life before PCNS and life after. My 4 years old previously was in a Montessori that was…read moregreat but the sense of community was not there. My little one is incredibly outgoing and needs plenty of outdoor time and play learning activities. There's no better spot if you as me than this coop. All of the teachers are amazing at what they do, they really make the little ones feel heard, held and nurtured, and there's is so much structure and involvement from all of the parents so it really makes it feel like a little village effort of raising healthy, happy kids. We also have a 1 year old and I can't wait until he gets to be at the coop too! This is a huge resource for Pacifica families!

The curriculum stood out right away. It's well-rounded and includes activities like yoga, sports, ceramics, and field trips. I also like the student to teacher ratio here. My daughter has absolutely thrived since she started in August. She is learning so much every day and it's incredible seeing all the arts and crafts she proudly brings home. Beyond the classroom, we have found a true community amongst other Brighton families that we feel very lucky to be a part of. I am so grateful we found this preschool, and I couldn't recommend it more highly!

My daughter was born just before covid so needless to say, she didn't spend a lot of time with…read moreother kids for her first 3-4 years. When we were finally able to potty train her, we sent her to WPWL and the experience was GREAT! I seriously cannot recommend them enough. My oldest is at TK now and she has blossomed. The teachers are all so nice and caring, the first day for my daughter was rough but Teacher Lisa was there instantly to help soothe her. She was a little shy for a bit but Teacher Jeovanka and Teacher Rebecca really worked to help her play and socialize with other kids. They also knew how to read her emotions and allow her time to spend with the adults on days where maybe she was struggling. My daughter was there for one year and it made an immense difference. We still get to see the teachers from time to time around the area and they still remember us and our daughter. We now have an 8 month old and I cannot wait to get her into their Early Learners program. In all honesty, I was very nervous about sending my daughter to school, I think change is just hard. But they were sure to send photos on their app and they made me feel very secure with her. Their graduation ceremony was also super adorable. They had toddler sized cap and gowns with "diplomas". They also gifted them a pencil box that was completely full of pencils, markers, pencil sharpener, erasers. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place. In my experience, I really feel like they were trustworthy and genuinely cared for their students.

La casita offers the perfect balance of learning and fun for these kids. Everyday when I drop my son off it's the most relief driving off knowing he is in the hands of these people. My son really loves spending time with me,but when it comes to his school he is always looking forward to spending the day there with his teachers and friends.
