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.

    I am so happy my kids had the opportunity to attend Growing Years Preschool. 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.

    Growing Years Preschool has been a second home for our family. 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!

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.

    Montessori School At Five Canyons

    Montessori School At Five Canyons

    I am writing this review as a parent who has been part of the Montessori Five Canyons community…read moresince 2023. My oldest child started here at age 3 and is proudly graduating Kindergarten this year, while my second child started at 18 months in 2025 and is now thriving at age 3 and will be staying here for another three years. We specifically sought out this school because it is a true Montessori-accredited school. Many places use the "Montessori" name, but obtaining and maintaining actual accreditation requires an immense amount of time, money, and resources. While this makes tuition slightly higher than that of a standard daycare, you are paying for a high-quality educational environment, not just babysitting. My children have thrived here emotionally and academically. I trust Ms. Martha and her team implicitly. I cannot recommend this school enough to parents who want a traditional, high-standard Montessori education. If you are considering enrolling and want a real, honest conversation from a long-term parent, please feel free to DM me. It is disheartening to see "hit piece" reviews that don't reflect the daily reality of the happy, engaged children I see every time I am on campus. Many of these complaints sound like a misunderstanding of the Montessori philosophy. During the initial tours, the Director, Ms. Martha, is incredibly transparent about how the school runs. If you look closely at the complaints, most people actually admit they like the teachers and the Director, Ms. Martha. It seems the real issues stem from financial disagreements or a lack of understanding of the Montessori method. As a business owner myself, I know that an organization cannot simply "turn off" its own reviews. If Google restricts reviews, it is because they have identified that the school is being targeted by unauthentic or coordinated "smear" reviews. To me, that speaks volumes about the validity of the recent negativity.

    Ms. Martha is amazing!! She remembers all the kids and parents. Ms. Krystina is so sweet to the…read morekids. Ms. Karen has made the biggest difference in my daughter's life. She wants to be just like Ms. Karen! My child loves to go here!!

As a parent, there are a few things that we absolutely adore about EBM. First and foremost, Ms. Blanca genuinely cares about our children and understands their learning journey. She knows exactly what our children are learning and how to support them in specific areas. Secondly, they serve a delicious hot lunch and healthy snacks daily. Thirdly, the EBM team is incredibly easy to reach out to whenever we have questions about our children or the school. Ms. Sithy, the director, is also open to suggestions and always strives to improve, creating the best school and environment for the children. Lastly, we appreciate the monthly newsletter, which provides us with valuable updates from the teachers about the topics and subjects they are teaching our children that month. Our children seem to learn new things constantly, but they also maintain a healthy balance between their studies and playtime. They have developed excellent social skills and make friends easily at EBM. Both children started as timid and shy, but they have learned to overcome their shyness and make friends. They always come home excitedly sharing the new things they have learned. My oldest child is now a first grader at a local elementary school. Having my first child go through the entire preschool journey and transition into elementary school, I can confidently say that EBM prepared my son exceptionally well for Kindergarten. While each child is unique, my son was well-prepared and possessed all the essential skills required for kindergarten and beyond.

My children have had wonderful experiences here and we highly recommend it.
