Both of my children love the school and wouldn't dream of attending any other school. One of my children has ADHD and Green Valley has worked with me and my child to make sure that we have everything we need. Every teacher my child has had has taken time to really understand how my child learns and help my child grow but most important to me is my child is learning all material being taught. my child also has a 504 plan. As a single mother of two children it is important that where my children attend school that they feel safe and loved and the definitely do here at Green Valley. From admin staff to teachers you will not find a better team!

It's hard to pick a daycare that you trust to nurture and care for your child, but LS is a great place with teachers that are truly called to the profession. Teachers Jennifer, Michelle, Anna, Cat, Rosa, Jimena, Laura, and Kristie have been outstanding. Thank you all for being a safe place for us!

We are very thankful that we have chosen H&H. If you're looking for a preschool that will not only enriche your child in education but also be cared for the way you would want them to be cared for I would definitely recommend H&H for you. Update on my review: Our boys have been with H&H for 7 months now. They absolutely love school. They love their teachers, their friends that have made, play time, bible time, lunch time, singing time, etc... everything about school they love. I am so thankful that God guided us in the direction of Hearts and Hands preschool.

This was a great school, as far as I recall. We were a rag tag bunch of kids of hippies, some farm workers, academics from UCSC and pretty much everything you could think of. What I remember best is that we had great guest speakers. There was an environmentalist from up on campus who came to give a talk about unleaded gas (yes, I'm that old), and a lady from the temple who showed us how to play the dreidel at Hanukkah, someone's dad gave a translated account of Mexican Independence for Cinco de Mayo, and a sweet hippie who played us songs about love and peace in music class.
