    ts the worst school i've done. tasha uses security cameras instead of going inside to help…read morestudents, who can ask for help for 40 minutes and wont be answered. i got taught there multiplication but wasn't ever helped ever after, ever. she don't do shi1. the lunches are ass, its so bad that the best thing we ever get is a white castle slider. and those are tiny. you cant get up, look any direction besides down for more then 3 seconds without being in trouble, and they treat lunch like a privilege and not a basic thing. the pe here is brutal and they don't accomodate students regardless of age. they made 5 year olds do 100 push ups, sit ups, squats, and more. there is nothing good here. i have no idea how anyone can possibly rate this hell hole a 5 star. -andrew

    When searching for a preschool, my criteria was an environment that epitomizes the Montessori…read moremethod as well as being safe and clean. Not only did I encounter that at The Montessori Giving Tree but I found an environment that my little one thrives in. My child has been with the school for almost one year and is excited to go to school every day. Tasha teaches the children respect and helping others out when needed. She is always there to answer any questions I have regarding the curriculum or if I feel my child needs to focus on an item she is more than happy to assist. I visited 6 different schools and this school was the only one that held up to my standards. Children are not running around screaming when in the classroom and Tasha ran me through each Montessori learning item and explain how the child will use the tools. The other schools just showed me where the tools were and that they were available to the kids. She has a little area outside where the kids can run around and play (this is when they probably do scream and it's okay) when the weather is nice. I read the review about limiting the snack quantities. Personally I find this acceptable because this way all the children will get an equal amount of food. If you just let the kids gorge themselves on what they like then they will not learn to share and inevitably 1 or more child will not get the item. In addition, if a child is given a bowl of carrots and a bowl of crackers, which snack do you think they will inhale? This way, each child will get a more balanced snack. Overall, my little one is extremely happy with the school and has never complained. In just a little under a year, she has already learned so much and made some great friends.

    Before I started this review, my son said "How many stars should we give art camp?" and when I…read moreasked how many he wanted to give, he emphatically said "5 Stars!" LOL the child has spoken! 5 stars it is! There are so many camps to chose from in the East Bay but what we have been loving about Aran's Art Camp is the intimate group size: there's no more than 10 kids per art camp and we've lucked out with an even smaller group during our time here. The camp is taught by a mix of Aran herself and her staff and they've been nothing but wonderful. My kiddo comes home from art camp every day bursting at the seams about everything he's worked on and learned (giving me safety tips about glass fusing and teaching me what a pinch pot is!) and he looks forward to going back each day. Each week is a different theme so if you wanted to sign up for multiple sessions, your child will definitely be working on something different each time. While the hours are 10-2, they offer before and after care for an additional fee which basically turns this into an all day camp if you were to maximize on the 9-3 aspect of it. There's a lot of half day camps out there so if you use their before and after camp, you get a good chunk of the day covered! Lastly, they go to the park every day after lunch to let them move around and get some sunshine and Fridays is pizza day! My kid said he would love to come back to art camp again next summer.

    Such a cute art studio with a variety of artsy activities! They have a variety of colors of paint…read morealong with a lot of different things to paint. It's pretty quiet in here compared to other places which I love! Parking is super easy since it's in a plaza, the people that work at this studio are super friendly and nice, and they offer so many other activities - I saw a kids painting night happening before, they have glass fusing, etc. They also have an area in the back where it looks like they do most of the classes so the pottery painting is almost always available!!

    I am so happy with our Kumon experience! There are two Kumon centers in Castro Valley, and we…read morespecifically chose this one because the owner, Ms. AJ, was incredibly warm and patient with our son. Our son started here 1.5 years ago after we discovered he was testing at a 4th grade level at the end of 6th grade. Kumon is a commitment for both children and parents, but it has been worth it. He has worked hard, gained tremendous confidence, and is now testing six months ahead of grade level as an 8th grader. The Kumon method really works. Each concept is mastered before moving on, and every level begins with a review of previously learned concepts. At first, I was surprised that my son started back at addition and subtraction even though he already "knew" division and fractions. But it quickly made sense, as he was still making small mistakes in basic operations. Building a strong foundation has been invaluable, and it's made advanced math much easier. He is also enrolled in the reading program, and we couldn't be happier with his progress. After seeing his success, our daughter joined Kumon as well. She has been attending for just over six months, and we've already seen remarkable academic growth in her, too. I cannot recommend this center enough. Ms. AJ is a wonderful teacher who creates schedules that fit each child's needs and accommodates family commitments. She is patient and gentle, so my children feel comfortable asking for help. They also don't want to disappoint her, which motivates them to complete their work consistently. Kumon has been a game changer for our family, and we are truly grateful to Ms. AJ and her team.
