We had a very bad experience here. Among all our kids, we've been through multiple preschools and…read moredaycares, but this one was definitely the worst. This is the only school I actually had a bad experience. When you enter, every admin staff and teacher you greet is extremely friendly but don't assume that's what goes on when you're away. Our worst experience was when we were trying to move up our child from the 2's to the 3's class, They would not move him up because he wasn't potty trained even though he was very advanced for his age in every aspect. I've heard of many daycares requiring 4 year olds to be potty trained but not 3. And when we were transitioning and we were trying hard to potty trained and move him up to the 3 yo class (he was 3.5 and still in a class with kids who just turned 2!), he had small accident so instead of putting the extra diaper we kept on him, they put his pants on without an underwear for the rest of the day, as in "I told you so" message to me by the teacher/director. The director Vanessa was also abrasive and unkind about this whole transition process. Out of all the daycares in Pleasanton we've been to (The Child Day School, Global Village Montessori, St. Clare's, Sonshine preschool) this is the only one I tell my friends "don't do it".

I'm really surprised that there aren't more positive reviews for this school, the only thing I can…read morethink of is that the parents don't want you to find out about this little gem because all the parents that I have spoken to have all had only great things to say about this school. I have been sending my child here for 2.5 years and I have truly loved this school. The Director Vanessa does an excellent job of keeping things structured and orderly. She also bonds with the students and knows all the parents by name. Often times, the older kids in the Magnolia class get to go help at the front desk and "greet parents" which is something that all the kids truly enjoy. They sit at the front desk and color and will greet the parents as they walk in and leave. When my child first started at this school, they had a very hard time adjusting and all the teachers were very good about helping with the transition. Even the ladies who worked at the front office helped and created a bond with my child to help out with the adjustment. One of the things that alway amazes me is how well the kids behave. Even in a room with 30+ kids they all act appropriately and do what they are told. I have been there during snack time and the teachers really know how to motivate the kids and have them do as they are told such as - no running in class, cleaning up their plates, cleaning up their toys, standing in line quietly, etc. All the teachers that my child has have been lovely and my child has nothing but positive things to say about every single teacher. From an educational perspective, they are spot on. My child was learning basic math at 4 years old and some learn it even earlier. The teachers encourage the kids to learn at their own pace while helping to progress them along. Another great thing about little flowers is that they provide breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. They always make sure to have fruit and veggies and they really know how to encourage the kids to eat their salad, veggies, and fruit. My child comes home telling me about how they serve strawberries, watermelon, grapes, cantaloupe, etc. during snack time. My child who attends little flowers is a much better eater than my older one who did not attend this school. Thank you Little Flowers for creating a caring and structured environment for my child to grow and thrive!

Both of my kids started at Beyond Montessori in preschool, and we've stayed connected through the…read moreafter-school program -- so we've experienced it in more than one stage, and it's been wonderful throughout. The teachers really take time to understand each child's personality and learning style, then create a plan that helps them grow in ways that feel natural. They balance academics with culture, independence, and respect, while constantly encouraging critical thinking and curiosity. Because of that foundation, my kids entered public school confident, independent, and ready to learn. We even skipped TK because we knew they were already prepared -- and the transition went smoothly. Even now, they still love coming back for the after-school program, which says a lot about how welcoming and inspiring this environment is. Our experience has been consistently positive over several years, for two very different children. If you're looking for a school that prepares children academically and helps them grow into thoughtful, respectful little humans, I highly recommend this one.

This is my first-ever Yelp review, and what inspired me to write was a small moment that happened…read moreseveral days ago: I was struggling to roll up a yoga mat when my almost 10-year-old daughter walked over and said, "Mama, let me help you. I know how to roll it up. I learned at Beyond because that's what we did every day after nap time, we rolled up and put away our own blankets." Then she confidently demonstrated exactly how to roll up the mat like a pro! This simple moment stopped me in my tracks. Five years after graduating from preschool, she still remembered and applied something she learned there--not just the skill itself, but the confidence and independence behind it. To me, that is the lasting impact of Beyond Montessori! My daughter joined Beyond Montessori shortly after turning two and stayed until she graduated from preschool. Before joining Beyond, we were trying to find a suitable preschool. We visited several so-called "Montessori" schools in the area, but none felt right. We knew we wanted an environment that respected children, encouraged independence, and nurtured curiosity; not one focused primarily on academics at such an early age. When we visited Beyond, we were immediately drawn to the spacious playground, the garden, and most importantly, the atmosphere. Meeting Ms. Sophia was what truly convinced us. Her passion for early childhood education and her understanding of Montessori philosophy deeply resonated with us, and we felt our daughter would be in caring and capable hands. Throughout those years, Ms.Sophia and the teachers provided thoughtful updates, meaningful feedback on our daughter's development, and invaluable parenting advice drawn from years of experience. As parents of a strong-willed child, we especially appreciated guidance that focused on understanding and supporting who she was becoming rather than trying to change her. Now, we still stay in touch with Ms. Sophia and have brought our daughter back several times to visit. It brings us so much joy to see our daughter growing into a cheerful, creative, capable, helpful, and responsible person. As one of the many Asian families in the area, we sometimes feel caught in the pressure to keep up and make sure our children never miss an opportunity. But over time, I've come to believe that the most important goals of early childhood are not getting ahead academically, but helping our children develop confidence, independence, responsibility, kindness, and a lifelong love of learning. For our family, Beyond helped lay that foundation, and for that, we will always be grateful!

From preschool to aftercare, Genius Kids offers so much--from strong academics to motor skills and essential soft skills. I have seen tremendous growth and development in my child over the years.

She looked forward to attending the program every day - both afterschool and summer camps. The staff at this location, along with the owners, is truly exceptional - they are not only experienced, but also caring, supportive, and communicative. The variety of activities and curriculum offered is a major plus, it kept our daughter engaged and exposed to new ideas and challenges. From homework assistance to creative projects and opportunities for social interaction, Genius Kids Pleasanton Bernal provided a well-rounded experience. Over these years, we've also observed improvements in our daughter's socializing skills and ability to make friends (with both kids and staff), which is something we greatly value. Also, from the very beginning, we felt confident about the safety and supervision of our child, and the facility itself is very clean and organized. I would absolutely recommend this center to any parent looking for a great afterschool program. Thank you Genius Kids Pleasanton Bernal, it's been a really great journey!

We…read morenow appreciate the structure which sounded overwhelming in the beginning, considering that our daughter was only 5 years old in kindergarten. It took her a month or so to adjust but now she has found great friends and is thriving both socially and academically. The teachers and staff are very friendly, approachable, and they always update me with her progress. It feels good to be part of the community and use their support and expert opinion for my daughter's education. There are different teachers for English, Math, and even second language, like Spanish. All of them are pros, and they take their job very seriously. It's hard to control classes like this where students come from different schools, each student with different skills. Yet, the teachers have succeeded in providing a safe, nurturing and educational environment for my daughter. I am also very happy with the pick-up. There has never been any issue. Everything gets coordinated by the staff in a very clear and organized way.

Before choosing to enroll him at Little Flowers Montessori I visited five Montessori schools spanning thru San Ramon Dublin and Pleasanton. Little flower Montessori school was the only school that had security that was up to par as well as privacy for check in and check out with a nice play area to match. Upon arriving at Little Flowers Montessori for our walk-through we discovered Ms Leisa was a teacher there. When we saw Ms Leisa, we knew this was the school for us. My son had her at a prior school and we knew how fabulous she is. I am a helicopter mom so I know she puts a lot of time and effort into daily activities, being warm, patient and compassionate with the students. At this point, my son has been attending little flowers for six months. I told Ms Leisa that he barely gets sick at this school vs his previous school he was sick every two weeks. She says that she wipes down the toys every day after the kids leave, we love her! When my son sees Ms Leisa, he brightens up and often times when he is picked up he says "Ms Leisa, Ms Leisa" and doesn't want to go home. We are very thankful to have found Ms Leisa and Little Flowers Montessori!

After only touring the facility, I will let you know what I witnessed…read more 1. The facility is dirty. From the floors, walls and the bathrooms the children use. I cannot imagine what the kitchen looks like where they prep the snacks. The paint was noticeably chipping off the walls and floor molding. It is not kept up like many other facilities in the area. 2. The outdoor play yard has minimal shade. They do have sun sails up but they do not provide proper shade for the children. 3. I didn't see any children smiling or having fun when we looked into the 2s, 3s and 4s rooms. It was a quiet room, but not in a good way. 4. There were many other safety concerns but the main issue I saw that needs to be addressed was that there were clear wall tacks used on the hallways to hold up art and other things. Toddlers walk the halls and it's a huge safety hazard to them. Tacks always fall off walls and it just takes one toddler to toss it into their mouth in a split second. Using tacks and tapes on the walls is definitely not to code and a violation of safety standards. 5. They are planning on adding infants to the room that has children up to age 2. I haven't seen this done anywhere else. It's a health and safety hazard to have infants with 2 year olds. Do not send your infants here. 6. This was the least racial diverse facility I have toured. It might not be a deal breaker for some, but it is definitely something to consider as it is something to give most parents pause. 7. While the lady who gave the tour was nice enough. She mainly walked me to the rooms and set me down in her office and asked if I had questions. She didn't tell me about their curriculum, enrichment opportunities, ratios, or what makes them stand out against the many other preschools in the area. Perhaps it's because they do not. I am surprised parents send their children to such an expensive facility that is lacking. Parents should do surprise visits to check on the wellness of their kids here. Visiting this place made me so sad for the children who are stuck in these rooms all day-- especially the room with the 2 year olds.
