His teachers are all experienced, creative,…read moreengaging and flexible and have been able to tailor the curriculum to match his interests and learning style. His love of learning has been rekindled. Prior to Fusion, we struggled with school refusal -- now he looks forward to going, no joke! Each day, we receive updates from his teachers about his progress. The administrators are also wonderful and went above and beyond to understand his learning style as well as a few health issues. We never have to worry about him falling behind if he needs medical treatments. There is incredible flexibility with how assignments are given and he can learn at a fast pace. I give Fusion a 10 out of 10. So grateful to have this school in Marin.

The grounds of the school and classrooms allow for whimisical play, gross motor work, social emotional learning and deep dives into a variety of topics from science to art.

Twin Cities Co-op really changed our lives. For real. As non-natives here in Marin (moved from…read morePhoenix, AZ about a year ago), we initially did not know anyone or have any idea where to send our daughter (age 4 1/2) to preschool. We were incredibly fortunate to find TCCP and have never been happier. It is a school that truly cares for children. Our daughter thrives there and loves the teachers, activities (her favorites include yoga, the arts and crafts room, the big backyard with multiple playstructures and music wall and water table), and often helps out in the garden. She gets education delivered via play, and we get the sense of community and belonging and family that we were missing since moving. Teachers are wonderful. Families, kids there, parents are all wonderful. Would recommend this school to anyone and everyone. Will be sending our next two children there when they are of age.

I've had a great experience with the Kumon program in San Rafael. The instructors are patient,…read moresupportive, and truly dedicated to helping each student succeed at their own pace. The structured approach has helped build strong foundations in both math and reading, while also encouraging independence and confidence. I especially appreciate how the program focuses on consistent practice and gradual progress, which has made a noticeable difference over time. The staff is always welcoming and communicative, creating a positive and motivating environment for students. Overall, it's been a very rewarding experience, and I would highly recommend this Kumon center to any family looking to support their child's academic growth.

I really can't say enough good things about Mathnasium and Michael who runs this location. My son…read morehas always shown an interest in math so we started him here young, at age 5. Michael was so attentive and committed to helping my kindergartner get comfortable in those early days. He really understands kids!! Now my son is spending 2 hrs a day there. He LOVES it. The whole getting tickets, spinning the wheel and getting prizes is a great model especially for younger kids who are so driven by rewards. It's the best extra curricular hang out and worth every penny.

Bright Start Little School is the best daycare we could have imagined. Full stop…read more Our daughter and son attended over the course of three years, and it was a joy to watch them grow and learn in such a loving, nurturing environment. Vania has a deep understanding of child development and continues to expand her expertise and it truly shows. The activities she creates for children of different ages are thoughtful, engaging, and developmentally rich. From watching caterpillars transform into butterflies to making personalized Mother's Day crafts (I still have the German handprint card on our fridge!), every experience is designed with care and intention. Her two longtime caregivers, Esly and Yomara, have been with her for many years, which speaks volumes, especially in an industry where turnover can be high. Their consistency and warmth gave our children such a strong sense of comfort and trust. Daily updates and photos were always a highlight, and communication, whether about an illness or the rare small boo-boo, was impeccable. Our kids thrived at Bright Start. They entered school confident, curious, and well-prepared, not just academically, but socially and emotionally. Many of our daughter's closest friends today are the ones she made at Vania's. And funnily enough, most of our closest friends in Marin are families we met through Bright Start, too. It's hard to overstate what a real, welcoming community Vania has built. Especially if you're new to the area, this place is something truly special: loving, grounded, and just the right amount of not-too-fussy.

I can't say enough great things about this daycare and how incredible they have been with my son…read moresince he began attending two years ago. When we drop him off he is greeted with genuine warmth and love from his teachers and he is always excited to see them and his friends. They have many different activities scheduled for each day including gymnastics, yoga, and music classes AND they serve healthy, homemade, child friendly lunches and snacks. Additionally, the backyard area is large and filled with lot's of activities with plenty of space to run around and get his energy out. It's covered so they can be outside year round. They also go out in a buggy to the nearby park on nice days which is not something that we have seen with other school options in the neighborhood. Finally, the owner has an AS degree in early childhood education which adds to the value of this school as this is not common with home daycares. Every day we drop him off we can feel good knowing that our son is in great hands and developing his social, emotional, and cognitive skills all while having a great time!

Now that we are both working from home, and with school closures in effect with no end in sight, Allen has been helping us create a home learning environment for our daughters. When we first started with Allen, he set us up with a daily schedule, which has helped us set routines for ourselves and for our children. The daily schedule has been a game changer for us. Personally, my own stress has been reduced because Allen has empowered me with the advice, skills, and patience to work with my own children in an academic homeschooling kind of way. 100% recommend Allen!! Wonderful and intelligent individual!

In particular, I wanted a strong writing instructor for one-on-one writing development. Allen is super easy-going and approachable, and he connected quickly with my son. He was wonderful at helping sort through the various class platforms (for grading, homework assignments, resources, etc.) which can be quite confusing at Drake. He was super patient, giving thoughtful and helpful feedback to my son. He also helped my son devise study systems for each of his classes, making the course load much more manageable. We hope to continue with Allen on a project basis, and then restart weekly meetings once winter sports are over.

The preschool has locks on the doors which i though provides an extra sense of security. The entire facility was clean and well maintained. Dawn was polite, friendly and down to earth.
