I can't say enough good things about Action Daycare in Saratoga! All the teachers are incredibly…read morepatient, caring, and truly love babies and kids. My son started here when he still refused bottles, and the teachers were so gentle and patient with him -- they helped him transition to bottle feeding successfully. A big shoutout to Ikbal, who sends us detailed daily reports about baby Leo -- everything from his feedings to nap times and new little milestones. It's so heartwarming to see how carefully she observes and supports his growth. We feel so lucky to have found Actiona Daycare -- it's a place full of love, patience, and joyful learning. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a warm, nurturing environment for their little ones!

My son started attending Action Day when he was 2.5 years old and attended for two full years. At…read morefirst, I thought he would be confused by the English environment since he could only speak Japanese, but he joined Miss Marie's class the first year and had no problem with Miss Marie's generous support. My son is now a great bilingual and teaches me English :) In the second year, my son joined Miss Anna's class and learned a lot at the school, including the alphabet and numbers. He also learned to write my own name (sometimes the wrong spell though ;) Not only to Miss Marie and Miss Anna, I also am very grateful to Miss Heather, Miss Katrina, Miss Sarah, Miss Swati, Miss Carlee, and also to Miss Sandy who had to leave due to medical reasons. The classroom is not big, but I think it is enough space for children to get together, read, work, and get along with each other. After Covid-19, Action Day held events for parents such as Holiday Performances, Easter Egg Hunting, Halloween Parade, and Mother's Day Tea Party, which gave me a chance to get to know other parents. Action Day has a hot lunch service, so I ordered pizza every Friday. The hot lunch made it easier for me when I was traveling on business and had difficulty making it by myself. This is my first preschool experience as a parent, so I can't compare it to others, but I am glad I was able to choose a very good preschool.

Our son started at LP when he was almost 3 years old in the Dragonfly class, and after two…read morewonderful years in both Dragonfly and Star Room, he's now moving on to a private school to start elementary. Looking back, choosing LP was one of the best decisions we made for our family. Over the past two years, we've watched him grow into a happy, curious, and confident little boy. He's learned how to make friends, work through challenges, and speak up for himself. Most importantly, he genuinely loves school. The best proof? Almost every day he asks us to pick him up at 6 pm because he wants more time with his teachers and friends. As parents, we couldn't ask for a better sign that he was exactly where he was meant to be. What stood out most to us was how well the teachers understood each child as an individual. Our son developed strong math and early reading skills at a young age, and we occasionally wondered whether he would become bored. Instead, they found ways to keep him engaged, encouraged his curiosity, celebrated his progress, and continued to challenge him in meaningful ways. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who was part of our son's journey at LP, from Dragonfly (Ms. Coco, Ms. Gaby, and Miss Viri) to Star Room (Miss Alyssa, Miss Megan, and Ms. Daisy). Every teacher we met was thoughtful, caring, and genuinely invested in helping each child thrive. We'd also like to thank the wonderful after-school teachers, whose warmth and enthusiasm made every afternoon something he genuinely looked forward to, as well as Mr. Wes for bringing so much energy to PE, Mr. Wyatt for making music and science so engaging, Ms. Jasmine for encouraging critical thinking and curiosity, and Ms. Michelle for always helping coordinate communication and organizing the fantastic cooking classes. When it came time to apply for private school, the entire LP team was incredibly supportive. The teachers took the time to thoughtfully complete the required Current Teacher Reference Questionnaire, and we truly appreciated the care and attention they put into it. It meant so much to our family, and it genuinely felt like everyone at LP was rooting for our son as he took this next step. Thank you, LP, for giving our son such a joyful and nurturing start to his educational journey. We'll always look back on his time with gratitude, and we wholeheartedly recommend LP to any family looking for a preschool where children are truly known, supported, and inspired to love learning.

Our family is delighted to have our daughter enrolled at Learning Pathways! We came in with high…read moreexpectations seeing the 4.9 average on Yelp, yet we continue to be amazed and impressed by this incredible preschool! Incredible instruction, thoughtfully organized, and a real gem of a school! We will be sending our other children here, but I still want to write a review of my experience about 6 months in. A C A D E M I C S We were looking for a place that centralized academics in their activities, but in a fun, age-appropriate, low-pressure way. I am pleased with the way Learning Pathways not only covers advanced topics for preschool age, but always maintains a fun and low-stress attitude for the children. Additionally, we are really pleased with the breadth of topics: our child has learned about gravity, reptiles, famous artists, acclaimed musicians, and various cultures (Black History Month, Diwali, etc). This is all on top of the critical English and math, of course. Moreover, we appreciate the 3 assessments Learning Pathways administers to each child throughout the school year (September, December, and one at the end of the year). The assessment shows us exactly what our child knows, is learning, and can learn. We also see concrete improvement in specific areas between her first and second assessment, too! O T H E R S U B J E C T S While academics are important to us, we also really appreciate the educational enrichment. Our daughter is consistently exposured to art and music, and she also participates in a wide variety of athletics/sports. Everything is so thoughtfully planned, and I appreciate how LP really makes things fun. T H E S T A F F Staff is attentive, caring, and organized. Communication has been exceptional around administrative things. O T H E R This school year (2025-2026), they relaxed their potty training policy while also encouraging independence with potty training. Our daughter made very quick progress in the first month and is now very independent in this area. Thank you! Moreover, there are a few fun performances for the parents around the holidays. So far, those have been for Halloween and Christmas. Thank you, Learning Pathways, for organizing such happy and adorable memories for us! "Goodness Snakes" came to her class this month, and my daughter really enjoyed being up close and even holding (!) some snakes in a safe setting! LP is super good about taking photos of the children. We get photos (and sometimes videos) daily, and they're always a delight. A R E A S T O I M P R O V E We are thrilled with nearly everything about LP, but there are a few areas I think that could be improved: -Please consider healthier snacks. There are some snacks with a high amount of added sugar (e.g. granola bars and dried fruit), and it'd be much more appreciated to only give crackers for meeting the "grains" category of food. -Additionally, please reconsider Swank's Farms for the pumpkin patch field trip. Not only is it about an hour from LP, but it did not rival any of the local pumpkin patches (e.g. in Santa Clara/San Jose area). Moreover, it was a little surprising that there were not any group activities. My husband took a day off for this field trip so we could become more acquainted with other LP families, yet the school did not even take a photo together. We were expecting some sort of organized activity or interaction between the families, but each family was really on their own (just physically in the same space).

Our son attended MAC from September 2024 - June 2025…read more Teachers: We started our son in the green classroom (18 month old start), and he had Ms. Saideh and Ms. Jackie. I really like Ms. Jackie since she is warm towards the kids and is open to giving them a nurturing presence. Ms. Saideh seems a bit colder. I remember during the tour, before my son attended, I asked Ms. Saideh her favorite part of her job , and she looked at me and said that her favorite part was when the students were not crying and instead, were behaving. She didn't smile or laugh, which to me, indicated that she wasn't joking. Her communication wasn't the best either. When there was a glitch in the sign in/out system or if I had forgotten to sign in, she would wave towards me and say "you didn't sign in! You forgot. You need to remember to sign in." I get her point, but saying it in that tone doesn't build good relationships with parents. Positive: I will say that in the midst of our time here, Ms. Biridiana was incredible. She was so kind and loving towards my son and I always felt relief whenever I saw her in the morning, because I knew my son would be in a loving environment under her care (she does the early morning care before 8:30 AM). She would ask me questions and show care for the parents. She and Ms. Jackie were the teachers and staff that really stood out to me. Tone at the top: there is no question that this school is structured quite well and organized quite well. Their calendar is meticulous and they are quick to send parents notifications of upcoming events as well. That said, the verbal communication style is different from ones I've had in the past. There is a certain amount of formality and professionalism, which can be helpful, but also there is an overall lack of warmth. For example, when I ask the Director, Ms. Svetlana how her vacation was, her response was curt, "Good. Yours?" She was responsive, yes. However, that sort of a curt response doesn't generate a feeling of community nor does it build relationships. Unfortunately, MAC does not emphasize social emotional learning, and it is very obvious on the playground next door. I actually have to hover over my child (2 year-old), because at least a handful of times, several students at MAC have pushed him on the playground (both intentionally and unintentionally). The other parents, instead of prompting them to apologize or leave the playground, instead, threaten their kids to leave and get upset with them, but end up staying at the playground. If you care at all about social emotional learning, this is definitely not the school for you or your child. Also: if your kiddo needs diaper cream or has sensitive skin, you will need a doctor's note for even aquaphor to be applied 1x. I asked the reason for their no diaper cream policy and their reason was that if they let us have aquaphor then it would be unfair to others. I still am baffled by this policy. They did cooperate by not giving my son citrus that may irritate his skin, but c'mon now - how harmful is aquaphor? I know other centers that have a one-time physician form that parents fill out that can include aquaphor or desitin, etc. When I was touring this place, Svetlana made it seem as though the waitlist was quite long. I asked if putting in a nonrefundable deposit and paying for the entire month of September when his start date would be September 23rd would help. She said it would. I made that choice because per the reviews it seemed as though this place was worth paying for the entire month of September when he started so late that month. I regret that choice now.

Our twins attended Montessori Academy of Campbell for three years, and it has truly been a…read morewonderful experience for our entire family. The teachers and staff are amazing--kind, patient, caring, and genuinely dedicated to the children. What we especially appreciate is that they go beyond academics. They teach the children important life skills, good manners, respect for others, independence, responsibility, and how to interact with each other in a thoughtful and respectful way. Over the past three years, we have seen so much growth in our twins, not only academically, but also in their confidence, behavior, independence, and social skills. The curriculum is excellent and provides a great balance between academics, creativity, practical life skills, and personal development. As parents, it means a lot to know that your children are spending their day in a safe and nurturing environment with teachers who truly care about them and their future. We are very grateful to everyone at Montessori Academy of Campbell for everything they have done for our twins over these three years. It has been a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend the school to any family looking for a caring, supportive, and well-rounded educational environment for their children.

In the beginning, I was worried about whether…read moreshe would be able to fit in, get through the day smoothly, and enjoy herself since she didn't understand English. However, my worries completely faded away. The teachers welcomed her so warmly and provided all the support she needed. Especially on her very first day, when she arrived feeling anxious, the teachers shared an update with photos later that same day. This immediately eased our anxiety as parents. Thanks to them, our daughter quickly felt safe and started enjoying her preschool life. Throughout the year, the children get to experience seasonal events and celebrations from various cultures. We could always see how rich the curriculum was and how much fun the kids were having through photos and videos. With the daily Montessori "jobs" and lessons in letters and numbers, my daughter has grown to love writing and counting. The facility is always neatly organized, and the playground is beautifully balanced with a sandbox, play structures, and plants. Running around the yard every day with children of diverse backgrounds and different ages will surely be a precious memory for her. Most of all, I am deeply grateful to all the teachers who are incredibly kind, warm, and passionate. Thank you so much for everything!

From the very beginning, the environment felt like a warm, welcoming community, not just for our daughter but for us as parents too. We've made friendships here that continue even beyond graduation, and our daughter is still close with many of her friends from ASM. What sets ASM apart is not just the loving care but the thoughtful emphasis on manners, sharing, and social skills. The way they celebrate every occasion--Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and so many cultural festivals--makes every child feel included and celebrated. As parents, we were encouraged to get involved, whether it was sharing stories about Diwali or Holi, helping kids make pizza or avocado smoothies, or just participating in the many hands-on activities the school plans. These varied experiences made learning so much fun for the kids. Looking back, I couldn't have asked for a better place for my daughter to begin her educational journey. ASM gave her not just knowledge, but confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories. We'll always be grateful to the wonderful teachers and staff for creating such a special place.

I truly do not understand the negative reviews if you as a parent understand what Challeger is…read moreabout. They have a very fast paced teaching method. If you are the parent (and I know lots of these) who believes kids go to preschool and kindergarten to play and they can learn later...Challenger is not for you. On the other hand if you want your child to be reading books at 3 and prepared the best way possible for elementary school, Challenger might be for you. My daughter has been going to the Saratoga campus since just before her third birthday. We've gone through teachers I loved and ones I wasn't as fond of. One thing was consistent, the education she was receiving. She was begging to go to school to learn. What?!? Seriously, she was. She was reading, doing addition and subtraction, art, and making friends. I completely disagree with the other reviews, I was well aware what was going on in the class and with my daughter because imagine that, I asked. I had parent-teacher conferences with her teachers at my request when she was in preschool and the teachers were happy to meet with my husband and I. Every class except one she had a well balanced diversity of all walks (her first preschool class was sooooo small with 4 kids, it was not exactly balanced), which I appreciated so my daughter was exposed to other cultures beyond her own. The one thing no one has mentioned that is unparalleled at this campus is the class size. My daughter was in classes that averaged out to one teacher per 10 kids, often times less. At the young ages of the kids I felt if really gave the teachers the ability to identify things that the kids may need more work on, and things they are really excelling at. I constantly during pick-up was getting feedback from her teachers and I really appreciated. On the final note if you send your child here a lot of people transfer to Strawberry Park for kindergarten, but I would HIGHLY recommend this campus for kindergarten. I researched the Strawberry Park location and found the class size averaged 30 and could go to 32. My daughter was in a class of 12...with Mrs. Lemus. I am so glad she got Mrs. Lemus, she is an amazing teacher. Beyond the fact that my daughter learned like she never learned before, (and like I said she had other good teachers) she came home excited to tell us what she had learned. Mrs. Lemus is one of those amazing teachers you hope your child can encounter, and I'm only sad that she won't be teaching 1st grade next year! Besides everything she did to teach my daughter, she helped bring her our of her shell from being a shy quiet girl to a girl who was confident talking and singing in front of the the class and parents. Thank you Mrs. Lemus for everything you did for my daughter, you are truly an amazing teacher and my daughter is lucky to have learned from you!
