I would give this school 0 star if I could…read more This school is untrustworthy! I had toured the school couple times, completed all required documents and paid $100 fee to make sure we would have a spot for 2023-2024 school year. Before the new school year started, I emailed the director, asked when to go to school, the director said one teacher left and they were trying to hire a new teacher, asked us to wait, no apology at all. After three weeks, I called the school again, they were still saying we have to wait until they got a new teacher, and they would call me back and enroll my kid. Now, a month and half passed, I never received a call or an email from them. I checked their website, guess what, they already hired a new teacher! But didn't tell us and enroll my kid! so I toured many other preschools and there are long waiting list to get in! I have to quit my job and stay home with my kid! They RUIN my whole schedule!! If they have a shortage of teachers, shouldn't they give a notice ahead of time? How can they just TELLING you right before the school starts! And they already hired a new teacher, why didn't enroll my kid cause he is not full time? OMG! So disgusting and disappointing!

Both of my kids attended St Michael's preschool. We absolutely loved it. All the teachers are…read moreamazing and so supportive. My daughter was attending pre K during the pandemic and had to bring a computer every day to do online school. They put a classroom in place to support all the kids who had online learning. My son did pre K with st michaels since his birthday was outside of the time to attend public school. The difference in my kids is wild. My daughter did public pre k and with the online learning has a really hard time still in second grade. My son did the program offered at day care and is so advanced for kindergarten. The teacher put their own pre k curriculum together and my son learned so much. I can not recomend this school enough. They are so loving and kind and really teach the children the same principles.

I just want to take a moment to give flowers to the staff and director at Clayton KinderCare…read morebecause they have truly been a blessing in our kids' lives. From the time Kali-Love and Bronx were just 13 months old all the way to 5 years old, Clayton KinderCare has been nothing short of a second home. And it wasn't just the twins even our oldest son has been going there since he was 7 years old, and he's 12 now. They've always shown him the same love, patience, and care. The protection and genuine support they've given our kids is something I'll always hold close. I never once had to question if they were safe or loved. They were treated like family, and that kind of environment is rare to find. The director and staff didn't just supervise they poured into our kids with heart, structure, and real support. That's a true village. I'm forever grateful for the foundation they helped build in all of them. If you're looking for a center that truly leads with love and puts children first, Clayton KinderCare is it.

Walnut Country Preschool stands out from the rest! My son loves going to school because the…read moreteachers honestly love what they do. You can feel it when you walk in the door. We debated pre-k but could not leave because walnut country offer the space for your child to learn while being a kid instead of sitting at a desk at 4 years old. Arts, crafts, sandbox, games songs, nonnies, parent participation, love oh so much love. If your looking for the best Concord/ clayton/ walnut creek preschool this is the best! Kids should be kids, they should be loved, they should learn with their hearts and hands especially in the first 5 years. Walnut country offers this!

We love Walnut Country Preschool! My oldest son went here for two years (3s and 4s program) and had…read morea wonderful time. He enjoyed the play based learning environment, the large indoor and outdoor spaces and the amazing, caring teachers. Our family truly cannot say enough good things about this school. Not only did my son have fun, but he was really prepared for kindergarten. He is in kindergarten now and performing at a higher level than some of his peers and I know that it is due to his preschool education. There are four teachers and I really feel that the low student to teacher ratio is important in this stage of learning. Being in a great school like this for two years helped my shy son blossom into a confident kiddo who enjoys school. It's evident that the teachers really enjoy their jobs and do great work with the kids. Currently my youngest son is attending preschool here and enjoys is as well! This preschool is also wonderful for the great community that it fosters. There are a number of family and parent only nights where you get to know the other families. Parents are allowed to volunteer in the classroom and get involved in so many ways. I highly recommend this preschool!

This place holds a very special place in our hearts. My child has some special needs and after…read morehaving a bad experience at another preschool, we were afraid to try another. Flps welcomed us and created an enjoyable, safe, and inclusive environment. Our child thrived here, learned to speak and communicate more, learned to play with other kids (he refused to be next to other kids before here). He learned so much and gained so many skills here. Ms. Anna was amazing and always made him feel loved and welcome as well as the other staff. It's so hard to trust others with your child especially when your child can't communicate but this was best possible place for him. We wish we didn't have to leave for elementary. I would recommend this place a thousand times over. We loved it here and our child loved it here.

First Lutheran Preschool is the BEST! It has truly been one…read moreof the best decisions we could've made for our 4 year old son. The teachers are fun and nurturing, and credit to the director (Ms Jeni), there's very little teacher turnover which is an indication that everyone likes working there. If the teachers are happy, the kids are happy. Ms. Valarie was my son's first teacher and we always appreciated how she communicated with us multiple times DAILY...how he napped, how he ate, how he played, what activity they did etc...with pictures. It's always hard leaving your Little Ones at preschool but knowing that they're having fun and being well taken care of at school is such a relief to nervous parents like myself. Ms. Valarie was so warm and understanding-I don't think I've ever seen her even remotely impatient with any of the kids, even when they were a little too energetic, she was firm but always kind. They have a good sized playground with shaded areas, their parking lot is huge which is so nice when you have to drop off kids in the morning, they have a huge gym where the kids play when it's too hot/too cold/ rainy to play outside. There's also a huge yard/grassy area where the teachers take the kids to go on nature walks sometimes or even just to run around. And you know the kids love to run! I appreciate how they do temperature checks in the morning, wipe down all the toys at the end of the day-even the pens you use to check your kids in are wiped every day. There's no way to keep your kids from getting sick especially at this age but I think FLP does everything they can to keep it at a minimum. The tuition is VERY reasonable and we really like the convenience of being able to pay by credit card on-line, but of course you can also pay by check as well. The teacher to kids ratio is great and they usually have floaters if the teacher needs more help. We checked out many preschools before deciding on FLP and were so glad that we did. And if you're looking for a place for your kiddo where they'll actually enjoy going to school, check this place out.

Our daughter attended Discoveryland Preschool last year before we moved away from Pleasant Hill…read more She learned so much from them. She learned many songs that she still remembers a year later. They also taught her her first meal prayer which she still leads us at dinner with. The preschool is a more intimate setting where you really feel that your child is getting his or her needs met and is not just another kid. They are affordable as well as high quality.... a rare bland. Several of the teachers have been there for many many years. They have a huge shaded and gated playground and promote plenty of outdoor playtime. Our youngest was so in love with the preschool (which he was too young to attend at the time) that he would throw tantrums every time we dropped my daughter off since he wanted to stay there too. I like that they provided a nurturing, loving, christian setting for all the kids to flourish in. They have a 2 year old class the caterpillars, a 3 year old class the butterflies, and a 4/5 year class the honeybees. They offer part time and ful ltime care.

You can't beat the outdoor space along with chickens. This is a co-op so you will volunteer more than a traditional drop off preschool, but you will build a community of like-minded families.

I tried visiting their afternoon playtime to meet the teachers a couple of times before signing up…read more One time I signed up, showed up, and was turned away at the door because they didn't have enough sign ups to host the play time that night. A phone call or email letting me know that ahead of time would've been nice, because I had loaded my two kids in the car and my husband left work early to be there since they requested to meet both parents during the playgroup. The next time, same thing. I later found out that I can't bring my younger baby during my volunteer hours, which are required every other week. If my son were to attend. So in the long run, it really doesn't work if you have more than one child anyway. That information would've been helpful before I rearranged our lives to accommodate the school twice.
