Had to email the School Superintendent just to get them to act right. Lastly be careful where your address is actually assigned to school district wise. Parts of Martinez falls under Mt. Diablo, but Martinez has a history of accepting students into their schools only to bump them later. Unless you want your child settling in, making friends, and adoring their teachers - only to have to start over - I suggest you verify your address with Mt. Diablo. They're bigger and better with real leaders over there.

My son is a current student at Lasting Impressions Preschool. It is a small preschool located in…read morethe same parking lot as Morello Park Elementary. They offer both preschool and child care if your child is fully potty trained. Snacks are provided, but you must provide their lunch. Part time and full time is offered. There are some really great things about Lasting Impressions, and some not so great things. Let's start with the great... I love their flexibility. My son currently attends for preschool in the mornings only. However, when the need arises, I can pay an hourly rate for him to stay longer. I love this! Also, they will walk over and get my daughter, who attends Morello Park, if I need them to. Teacher John is wonderful! My son absolutely loves him! He offers experiences the kids won't get anywhere else. They have science experiments, jam sessions, go on explorations, scooter races - the list goes on and on! There are a few things I'd like to see changed. Some of the toys and equipment (tvs, vcr, etc..) look tired and worn out. I'd like to see new items brought in. Overall it has been a great experience for my son. I'm not sure if he will be returning next year only because he wants to go to a preschool where they talk about Jesus.

Instead their actions undergo to having my child be conditioned by valuing children for what they do, rather than for who they are.

For the time my child has been going there, he has always been getting a cold. I kept him home until he got better, then I will take him back when he felt better and two to three days back in school he gets a cold again. I suspected that they were not taking care of him the way they should, I spoke t the teachers there and told them that I do not want them to keep him outside with one layer of clothing. And so they ignored my wishes and continues to undress him outside and kept him in the cold while other children were fully clothed. One day I decided to pick him up early from school and I caught them right in the ack. They had my child outside in the cold air with just a vest which he had under another layer of clothes I sent him with. I lost it and pull him out of there. If you are looking for a school that will respect your wishes, this one isn't it. If you have a child that doesn't like to nap don't consider this school. the teachers will complain every time you pick your child up. while my child was attending this school I did not notice any improvement in his educational skills. This school is a waste of time and government funding. Save yourself money and your child time don't send your child to this place

(Not meant to be a history lesson; I read the plaque but didn't memorize it, so no warranty offered for absolute accuracy.)

My son would be so excited to go to school each and every single day. He'd get into the car after school and yell, "I LOVE SCHOOL!" and would beg to be the first child at school each day and want to be the last to leave. I never had to worry about my son being well cared for as I would receive a phone call in addition to a written notification of any bumps and scraps that occurred. Today I watched my son stand on the stage and sing the cutest songs ever and have a video full of memories that will be cherished forever. If you are considering a preschool for your child in the Martinez area, do not pass them by! They're great.
