So we haven't officially started yet, but I am beyond impressed with Woodroe Woods already!! I…read morenever write reviews but I was compelled to write this because of the exceptional service I've already received. I visited 5 other preschools before landing here. I was looking for a place with experienced, loving teachers and I felt comfortable the moment I walked in. Unlike other places I visited, the teachers here are 100% engaged with the kids (playing on the floor, sitting in the tiny chairs doing a craft, talking to kids on the playground, etc). I was also looking for a place that allowed a lot of physical activity as I feel that is super important for the developing brain. This place has a huge yard where the kids can run around, ride bikes, play in the sand, etc. On top of that, the office staff and director genuinely love children and understand all the fears of a parent sending their kid to preschool for the first time. When I took a tour, I was amazed at how the students ran up to hug the director and she knew them each by name!! The staff are super accessible and have let met visit 3 times with my daughter so she is familiar with her teacher and the environment. Even though I know she will probably still cry the first few days, I can tell she's going to thrive here!! Besides the atmosphere, experience, and quality of care these people provide, I am also impressed with the different schedules they offer! When I was searching online, a lot of places had set days for 2 or 3 year olds and would often make you pay the full 5 days even if you only wanted 3! This place is ideal if you have a part-time or per diem job because they offer a variety of different schedules for part or full days. This place has been a God-send already. Looking forward to hearing about my daughter's fun adventures here! UPDATE - 10 stars!!! Yes, this place has proven to be exceptional. My daughter did cry at first but now loves it. I've seen her totally come out of her shy shell and she's learned to make friends and become more adventurous. I'm amazed by the crafts she comes home with and even though this is not "academic" based she is learning plenty of life skills which I think are more important at this age. She knows the seasons, days of the week, spelling, simple math, patterns, etc all through play, crafts, reading, and fun activities! The teachers continually prove to be flexible, caring, and enthusiastic. A few perks I didn't think of before is that it's on a large campus so on rainy days they have access to a big multi-purpose room so they can still run around! They also only use their own subs (which are mostly retired teachers from Woodroe Woods or veteran parents) so even the subs are familiar to the kids! The staff here are tight-knit and supportive... they never appear burnt out or apathetic like I've seen at other places. This is a slam dunk!!

Amazing large classrooms with light filled rooms. Large play yard with swing, slide but not much…read moreshade. All but one teacher we had were decent and kids stations are fun, creative and play based which we appreciated. However, little to no communication channel between teachers and parents, sub standard old school discipline used when kids misbehave, very outdated shame based (office visits, labeling them as "if you do one more bad thing", separating kids), defensive attitude when problems arise from head of school, and teachers. In particular try to stay away from Teacher Masami's class as she is well known to be very strict and just mean.

This program has helped him to become a more independent thinker in every way. Kumon teaches him to be self discipline to the point where he is self-sufficient.

I recommend this location to anyone who's looking for an after school program for their kids. Aileen N

My son started in the Rainbow Room and moved up to the Dinosaur Room. All of the staff treat the…read morechildren as if they were their own and each room is tailored to the developmental age of the children in the room. For instance, my son was participating in arts and crafts in the Rainbow Room but was starting to learn letters and how to write his name in the Dinosaur Room. The transition to public school was seamless and a lot of the routines taught at OFT made it easy for him to adjust to the routines established for public school. The facility has a very large playground with climbing structures, shaded cabanas for the children to relax in/play together in and numerous bikes/car toys for the children to use. Inside, the facility is locked and access is restricted, children to worker ratio is low and overall spaces are neat, clean and organized well for the children. While my child didn't need it, I appreciated the allergy notice posted in every classroom for any child needing restrictions, regardless of what class they were in. There are holiday themed event days and regular themed days for the children to enjoy: easter bunny egg hunt, pumpkin patch, pajama days, picnic days, water days (where the children can play with water and get wet) and birthday celebrations. Minor con: I wish the monthly newsletters would go out a week before the start of the month so I can be prepared for any special events or closures for the first week. Not a deal breaker for this facility and child educators though! Cost is reasonable and the facility offers half day and full day options, with 2, 3 or 5 day schedules. They also have a potty trained discount, or not potty trained fee, depending on your viewpoint. I am waiting for my youngest to be eligible for entry, but once he is, we will absolutely send him to OFT as well. Thank you OFT team, we LOVED having our son attend and always recommend this facility when others are looking for preschool/daycare options!

I can't say enough great things about Our Future Tots Learning Center in San Leandro! I enrolled…read moreboth of my daughters shortly after they turned two, and choosing this preschool has been one of the best decisions we've made. The staff is caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in both the children and their families. A special thank you to Ms. Vicky, the Program Director--she is incredibly kind, welcoming, and truly cares about every child. Three years later, I couldn't be happier with our experience. My girls absolutely love going to school every day. They've learned so many important social skills, gained confidence, and even potty trained much faster because of the positive environment and encouragement from both the teachers and their classmates. Both of my daughters were fully potty trained in a surprisingly short amount of time. Future Tots also offers excellent value. It's one of the most affordable preschools in the area without sacrificing the quality of care and education. If you're looking for a loving, family-owned preschool with experienced staff who truly care about your child, I highly recommend Future Tots Learning Center!

Don't take your son or daughter to this school. Shameless

Forget Proctor with all it's hills and hoopla...Chabot is where it's at!…read more My son absolutely loves this school, yes that's right, LOVES IT! The school itself backs up to a wonderful park and has been recently earthquake retrofitted. They also installed gates to keep the bad guys out and the students in. At first, I really didn't like the gates because it did make the school look a little like an institution, but I get the reason why they did it. The teachers are WONDERFUL and all are invested in the students education. No wonder people move to Castro Valley! There are young energetic teachers and also older ones that are just as fabulous! The principle, Mrs. Hoops, is also very involved and opens her door to parents and students alike with sensitivity and sensibility! This is a GREAT school all-in-all!
