My family and I just LOVE this school. My eldest one graduated here, middle one is attending now,…read moreand youngest one will be there soon. Directors, Diana and Stephanie, are doing awesome job to make the school as happiest place ever for kids. About 2 years ago my wife and I found this school by chance. We visited for tour, and we immediately enrolled our girls right after we had conversations with Ms. Diana, director and owner of the school, who was giving the tour. For us it was impressive she knows every details of individual kids. Staffs were also looking happy for their job, which was another important point for us when making decision. Staffs are friendly and kind, always be willing to help families of their students, which I sincerely appreciate. They communicate to each other very well, I can literally leave message to anyone or can hear about how my little one's day was from anyone. I also like the part that they bring in many kinds of events to the school rather than going on field trip. It is their strategy for safety. They regularly arrange visiting of fire fighters and kids just love it. Various activities make kids happier and families have full access to many events. They offer in-school birthday party for reasonable price which I had for my little ones. Sometimes during the weekend they offer child care for special days like Christmas shopping, or Thanksgiving preparation. They seriously care about their facilities. They don't let something remain in broken or dirt. I am very happy about it. As I know a sandbox in front yard is being covered for every night so kids can play with cleaner sand. They periodically install new mulch on playground. Thank you all and just keep doing the awesome job! My family and I are so lucky to have you all.

The Learning Tree in Livermore is such a wonderful school! The teachers are caring, patient, and…read moretruly dedicated to the children's growth and happiness. They create a warm, welcoming environment where kids feel safe and excited to learn every day. I've seen so much growth and confidence in my 3-year-old daughter since starting here. A huge plus for us has been the onsite enrichment programs, like soccer and Spanish class, which means we don't have to spend our evenings driving around town for extra activities. Also, the live camera access is a much appreciated added bonus that our last daycare didn't have.

I feel compelled to share our current experience at Storyland School because it is the exact…read moreopposite of the calculated negative review deliberately posted to coincide with Back to School Night. Our daughter has been here through the ownership transition, and the new administration has brought nothing but massive, positive growth to this school. First, the leadership team is incredible. Ms. Nithya, the new director, was personally selected as a trusted replacement by Ms. Brooke, and she is exceptionally warm, welcoming, and attentive. Our new assistant director, Ms. Aanchal, is equally amazing and highly organized. The entire staff is kind, and the energy at pickup and drop-off is wonderful. The teachers always greet us with a smile, and our daughter leaves giving hugs and talking so positively about everyone. Since the new school year started under this team, we have noticed tremendous improvements in our daughter's fine motor and communication skills. She is now coloring within the lines, writing her name, and communicating much more deeply. The claims about poor communication couldn't be further from the truth. Communication has actually significantly improved. We receive constant, thoughtful, and genuine updates through the Procare app. For example, last week we got an alert that our child was caught wasting food. Her teacher had a constructive talk with her and asked us to reinforce it at home. We never received this level of proactive, mindful feedback under the past administration. When it comes to safety, the teachers are observant, protective, and adhere strictly to all licensing guidelines. They over-communicate with true integrity. When our daughter got a tiny, completely minor boo-boo on the play structure, they immediately logged it in Procare. It shows how deeply they care about transparency and monitoring the kids to ensure they are safe, healthy, and playing nicely. Finally, the new management has been incredibly proactive. Right when the transition happened, we were promptly notified via email about all administrative, classroom, and teacher updates. Even better, they have actively improved the community by opening a brand-new infant care program and an after-school pickup shuttle service for public TK students! Change can be hard for some, but the new management has handled it beautifully. Storyland is thriving, safe, and an absolute blessing for our family. We look forward to enrolling our son in 6 months with Ms. Patty to learn some español! Highly, highly recommend!

The staff is friendly, kind to the kids, teach them so much while creating well rounded individuals. My Kindergartner started school well ahead of her peers, already counting to 100 while others are learning to count to 10. They've been the perfect balance of education, social interaction and playtime. It was definitely worth the wait and one of the best choices we made.

The teachers update me at the end of the day and we also get "documentation"- photos and descriptions of activities during the week. Parents get to send lunches to the school, some people hate it, I love it! I know what she's not eating cold limp pizza or some other easy to make lunch she was served at another school. The school style reminds me of 'Sid the Science Kid' because the teachers try to help kids focus on what they like and are interested in. Best of all, my daughter loves the school! She asks to go to school on the weekends and even when she's home sick. She grew so much in her first few months there, my mother commented on her growth in vocabulary and social skills.

This is the kind of school parents dream of for their kids…read more Low student to teacher ratios. On the edge of the country, with fields and farms nearby Dedicated teachers who are great communicators (with me and with her) Enthusiastic teachers They don't put labels on my kid because they can't remember her name, they know everyone's name! Healthy snacks like bagel and pears, veggies..... My daughter (two years ten months) was recently enrolled, and she loves it so much she asks to go everyday (even Saturday and Sunday). At the end of the week, you get a document of the activities the kids were engaged in, what they were doing and learning and photos. This IS NOT the kind of "Sit down, be quite and listen to me" school. This is a less controlling, more fluid style of teaching (like Sid the Science Kid) kind of school where teachers ask lots of questions and use the curiosity of the moment to encourage children to investigate and theorize (not that they know their learning). There's open indoor school rooms, multiple playgrounds, outdoor school rooms, and garden areas. Their website doesn't do them justice. I left the tour in awe of the possibilities for my daughter.

The director is on top of things and gives us piece of mind that our son will be cared for in a safe and secure environment. Highly recommend!

When we toured the school for the first time, we were impressed with the size of the school & huge play areas outside.

It was an immediate yes for us and now that we've been here since May, we are so happy that our girls come here & are so loved by their teachers. As a parent, you can't put a price on your kids being happy, safe & loved!

Robyn helped us potty train her easily and it's been such a loving nurturing environment. LPS staff has been our second family. The teachers are the reason why we chose to bring her here. Teacher Serena deserves a special acknowledgement as she navigated online distance learning in 2020. It was a tough year when she started kindergarten but LPS did an amazing job providing a nurturing and navigating through all the complexities due to COVID. I can't thank them all enough for everything they've done. We also have two little girls both in LPS in teach Sara's class and with Teacher Kathy and Becky! Our girls LOVE LPS. The staff has been there for 20+ years and even teacher Evelyn who retired comes back every now and then to help out when needed. She does this because she loves the kiddos. Robyn is now the Director which is fantastic she's been a teacher for many years and has always communicated effortlessly. Our kids love all the teachers but they absolutely adore teacher Stacey. They talk about her all the time and even ask for play dates and sleepovers with her, that's awesome!!! We are so happy with this preschool and blessed to call it our kiddos second home/family

Chandara took exceptional care of him especially because he was the youngest then and taking the separation hard. If Covid had not hit then we would have continued with care there but I opted to keep him home with everything going on especially since I was home. Then after a gap of 1-1.5 years when my son was of preschool age - and we thought of enrolling him in a preschool - the first person I reached out to was Chandara and luckily she had an opening which worked for us. My son enjoyed the time he spent there and would look forward to going everyday. Chandara and all the staff are extremely good in taking care of kids needs and Chandara provides nutritious food too which is a boon to working moms. She does take care of the kids like her own and we can confidently leave the kids in her care.

This is our first experience with daycare so we were a little nervous even though the girls are older now. It's only been a few weeks but I can't say enough good things about Miss Tiffany who runs the before/after school program for school aged children. We were a little nervous as the girls have always been with a nanny or family but the transition has been smooth. You can tell that Miss Tiffany really cares about the kids and my daughters both really connected with her. The facility is a bit older and still a work in progress as they settle in, so if you are looking for something sparkly and new this isn't the spot for you. If you are looking for a place that has a lot of space for a smaller amount of kids (compared to other day cares and ESS), feels quiet and serene and has someone you can rely on to care for your children then I'd definitely recommend Free To Be Me 2.
