Sharing his School Year 2024-25 assessment for Kindergarten below after attending/graduating from preschool at Seeds of Tomorrow: Name writing: He has a very strong pencil grip and formation of letters. He can move on to writing his last name too if you'd like! Our end of year "name goal" is writing first and last name in the lines with correct letter formation. Letter names: 52/52 (above standard for this time of year) Letter sounds: 29/30 (26 sounds were the typical sounds from A-Z and the extra 4 sounds were digraphs. He know 3/4 digraphs! So awesome! He just didn't know "ck"). He is above standards for this time of year in sounds. Phonemic Awareness: 18/22. I went further with him on this assessment than I did with anyone else so far. His sense of language is very strong. Phonemic awareness is hearing sounds in words. He was able to identify beginning sounds, ending sounds, he could blend words together (verbally), and also break them apart. He is further along in this area than a lot of his peers. He is above this standard for this time of year for phonemic awareness. Irregular words (sight words): 22/22 (a lot of kids come in knowing 0-3 words, he is above this standard too!) Identifying numbers 0-20: 21/21 (above standard for this time of year) Identifying 2D Shapes: 5/5 (meeting standards) Counting by 1's to 100: 100/100 (above standards for this time of year) His scores reflect that he is VERY prepared for kindergarten. He also has been doing really well in the classroom producing neat work, kind energy, and follows directions well. Well done, K*****!

We're so happy that we chose to put our daughter into this preschool. Ms. Lesia, Ms. Schlonda & Ms…read more Pam are great teachers, kind and wonderful people. They care a lot about their students. They take really good care of them. Our daughter blossomed a lot since going there. She's learned so much. She knows all her alphabets and knows how to write her name. She loves going to school. It's a wonderful and safe environment. I would recommend this preschool to everyone.

Through your patience, guidance, and dedication, you helped shape Lily into the confident, smart, kind, and resilient young girl she is today. You celebrated every milestone, encouraged her through challenges, and always made her feel safe, valued, and loved. As parents, we say goodbye with tears in our eyes but full hearts, knowing she is ready for the big world ahead because of the foundation you helped build. The lessons, confidence, and values you instilled in her will stay with her for years to come. Thank you for loving our girl and helping her become the amazing person she is today. We will forever be grateful for the impact you have had on her life and our family. Tearfully, but knowing she's ready for her next adventure--Lily is signing out. Thank you for everything.

During our very first…read morevisit my 3 year old decided this was the school she wanted to attend and was upset about leaving. Both of my kids were excited every school day to see their friends and teachers. They felt loved, supported, and encouraged to learn/grow. The kids participated in so many hands-on activities. Their favorite was the opportunity to take home the homemade, colorful, scented play dough. That stuff never dries out! While the pandemic had limited off-premise activities this past school year, there were an abundant amount of opportunities to celebrate, explore, and create on-premise. As COVID-19 regulations changed, communication was very clear. The school remained very clean and organized. I felt that the health of staff and students was top priority. Teachers went above and beyond to share each students daily/weekly activities with parents. While my kids are two completely different people this school was absolutely the best fit for both of them.

Our son spent two wonderful years…read morehere--starting in Maples, growing in Redwoods, and graduating to kindergarten at age five--while our daughter moved from the Tots (Willows) class to the Toddler (Maples) class with confidence and smiles. Watching both kids thrive in the same loving community has been the best endorsement we could ask for. What sets Growing Years apart is the people. The teachers in Willows, Maples, and Redwoods are incredibly attentive and nurturing--they notice the small things, follow the children's curiosity, and turn everyday moments into learning. Thank you to the entire teaching team for inspiring imagination, kindness, and independence. And a very special thank-you to Miss Neeru and the admin staff for running such a thoughtful, organized, and welcoming preschool. Their communication is clear, transitions between classrooms are handled with care, and families always feel included. The program blends play-based fun with real kindergarten readiness. Our kids come home talking about letters and numbers, new stories and songs, art projects they're proud of, and the games they played outside. We love the "Star of the Week" tradition that helps each child shine and build confidence. Family gatherings, Christmas celebrations, and multicultural events make it feel like a true community where every culture and family is welcomed and celebrated. If you're looking for a caring, well-run preschool/toddler program with dedicated teachers, meaningful curriculum, and a genuine sense of community, we highly recommend Growing Years Preschool. Our children have felt safe, encouraged, and excited to learn here--and that peace of mind for parents is priceless. Thank you, Miss Neeru and team, for giving our family such a positive start to early education!

Considering the facilities and that it is a professionally run preschool and daycare center, I do think they provide great value. Our daughter will be attending TK and the fact that the preschool is right next door to Castro Valley Elementary is extremely convenient as they handle both pickup and drop-off. It also provides a partial day of a familiar environment and teachers she loves as she transitions to public school, which is a big plus. Well done ABC Preschool and Daycare!

She grew so much while she was there. The teachers are warm and caring, and you can tell they really love what they do. It was always so nice to be see their arts and crafts hung up right by the front door so that you could see what they had worked on recently. I also thought it was awesome that they spoke Spanish to her. I've struggled to keep that going at home, so it meant a lot to know she was learning and practicing at school without me even being there. The school also did a bunch of family events that we loved. Daddy and Me was always a favorite because we got to come in, watch the kids perform, and do crafts together. They also put on fun things for the holidays, like Halloween and Christmas, where the kids got to celebrate and we could be part of it too. It was great watching her play with her friends and have her show me all her favorite places to play in the outdoor play area. The hours were always great so if you're a working parent you have that peace of mind that you know your kids are taken care of so you can focus on work. We're really thankful for the time our daughter had at ABC Preschool. She made great memories, learned so much, and we always felt like she was in the right place. I'd highly recommend you to check this daycare out.

My child has been to a few different daycare programs, including one that's literally 2x the price (Bright Horizons). However, HHP is the only place where my partner and I felt all the teachers (that we've met thus far) have a genuine passion for the kids. At a previous daycare, my child only talked about one teacher who seemed to really care, who unsurprisingly was the only teacher we felt actually enjoyed her job as a preschool teacher. However, at HHP, my child raves about all the teachers. There is a glaring weakness at HHP though, and that's the administration team. Unfortunately, other Yelp feedback about the slow and sometimes lack of responses (via phone or email) are true in my experience. Phone calls or emails go unanswered for days or weeks at a time, if at all. Fortunately, interaction with the admin office are mostly unnecessary after the child is actually enrolled. I'm hoping this area will be improved! If there are any "emergencies" or issues with my child at school, the teachers are very good about either calling or emailing us. And teachers are timely in their responses to our proactive emails to them as well. All in all, HHP has been a very positive place for my child.
