I have had two children attend this school from the 2's through pre-school and I cried the day my last child left TCDS for kindergarten.

My daughter started school in the summer of 2024 and she could not be happier. All of the teachers…read morehere are caring, nurturing, and very happy to be working with kids. Her TK teacher, Ms. Swarnali, has really created an environment geared towards fostering a joy of learning. The kids do science experiments, arts, writing, reading and so much more. My daughter is leaps above other kids her age due to her TK with Ms. Swarnali!

I started my daughter in Preschool at Harper at 3.5. She had not been to school before, and I was…read moresuper nervous about this transition for her. She started with Ms Mamta, who was amazing with the transition. She was so patient and accommodating to all of her big feelings. She very quickly started loving school. She is currently in Ms Swarnali's class, and she has truly blossomed, she is truly exceptional! From the very beginning, Ms. Swarnali has created a warm, nurturing environment where she has felt safe, encouraged, and excited to learn. Ms. Swarnali consistently uses positive reinforcement to guide and motivate her students. Her approach has helped my daughter grow not only academically, but also emotionally. I've seen tremendous improvements in her confidence and the way she interacts with others -- changes that I credit directly to Ms. Swarnali's support and teaching style. It is clear that Ms. Swarnali is deeply committed to the well-being and development of her students. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as part of my daughters early learning journey.

Had a frustrating experience during after-school pickup. My husband and I were waiting in the…read moredrive-up lane to pick up our son from chess. I was in front of a crosswalk with multiple parked cars ahead of me, so there was nowhere to go. A lady pulls up behind me, upset, demanding I move so she can get her child from daycare. Even if I could move, where was she going with cars parked in front of me? Then the car behind her starts telling me to go park somewhere else, to leave and that I need to be nice? Then she runs to the office. What? Next thing I know, Lor (I believe) from the office comes out yelling at me instead of actually looking at the situation. I told her to ask the cars in front of me to scoot up, so then maybe I can move...moved maybe 20 feet if that hahaha, accomplishing nothing since those cars were still in front of me. Meanwhile, the lady who demanded I moved (and no one else to move) causing all this drama got her karma and ended up hitting the divider as she drove away. The whole situation was ridiculous. Instead of handling it fairly, Lor sided with entitled parents who think the rules don't apply to them. Also office stop asking if I have moved. If I did, I would have informed you.

It's been a long road to Danville but a well worn path by many other families in our situation…read more That road beginning in downtown San Francisco and that path refers to: 1. A couple dating 2. With no children 3. Who get married 4. Have kids 5. Send them to pre-school 6. and Now what? And also....some of those path items may not have happened in that exact order if you know what I'm saying......you know what I'm saying right? Oh wait - This is Danville. You really don't know what I'm saying because everything here is perfect and goes according to planned. Please know I'm not trying to be sarcastic - everything in Danville is in fact PERFECT. Case in point Greenbrook Elementary School. It's no secret that the Danville public school system is absolutely phenomenal when compared to almost the entire State of California. In addition the two high schools are ranked nationally by US News and World Report each year. Of course the price of admission to this educational wonderland is your left kidney, your child's first born, and a bottle filled with unicorn tears. But after the unicorn tears are handed over your child is ushered into an incredible learning experience. I distinctly remember my first report card from Kindergarten. I was sufficient in skills like cutting with scissors and not eating glue. This was the standard I was held to 38 some odd years ago. My son comes home with science experiments for kindergarten homework. He has to read a new book each week and then write his understanding of the material. I fear that next month I'm going to have to put him in time out for building a crystal meth lab in the play room rather than just forgetting to flush the toilet. Is it safe to give children this much knowledge so early? The folks at Greenbrook Elementary certainly think so, I just worry I won't be able to help out once he hits the third grade. I'll be looking at his advanced algebra textbook while I nervously lick a sticky substance off my fingers hoping nobody notices I'm on the paste again. Just to let my son know that his parents are still in charge of this house before he takes over the world my wife and I joined him at the Greenbrook PTA Bingo fund raiser night. We got there about 5 minutes before the Bingo was about to start and the place was packed, probably about 200 maybe 300 people there. We found a couple of seats still open near a garbage can and grabbed our bingo cards just in time for the first game. The game progressed slowly but quietly I was picking up steam until there it was .... N42. Almost involuntarily I shot up out of my seat holding my card and scream "BINGO!". The other parents looked at me with their jealous bingo eyes, my son started to cry because he does not like to lose at anything, and my wife was furious because she was only one square away from Bingo Glory. So when I responded to these hateful stares with...."And that's how you play BINGO people!" well....in that moment I realized Danville needs a guy from an under performing school district in New Jersey to talk a little trash from time to time. It would be almost statistically impossible for our family to win again on Bingo night given the amount of people in the room but guess what? Two games later my wife nails it, bursts out of her seat with a hearty cry of "Bingo Baby!" My son began to sob as he lost again and we are handed our second gift card of the night. I gave my wife a high five and started to imagine our free evening on the town that would include frozen yogurt and a movie. We leave the multi-purpose room triumphant in our victory because we know our son is going to retire to his room and begin working on an algorithm that unlocks the secrets of bingo forever. They may be 6 years old at Greenbrook Elementary but don't turn your backs on them for a second parents or you'll find yourself asking these munchkins to unlock your ipad so you can go on yelp before bedtime.

Most importantly, the kids really look forward to going! Here are the things we love most about Diablo hills country school: - flexible hours and reasonable pricing - incredible outdoor play area for the kids - kind teachers and communicative administration - so many fun and enriching activities - we also really like that it's family owned with a long history in the area.. that's hard to find these days.

Our daughter started at DHCS when she was two and she's now almost five. When we were looking for a…read morepreschool, we wanted a safe place where she could flourish creatively while also building the academic foundation she would need for kindergarten. We visited many other schools, but none of them made us feel like our child's happiness and safety were truly the priority. Many were Montessori programs with rigid classroom settings and rules that we felt were unnecessary for kids at this age. The family-run team at DHCS has always made us feel like partners in raising our daughter. Communication has been great and it's clear they really know each child individually. They've been flexible with schedule changes and even welcomed us back without requiring re-enrollment when we briefly tried a school closer to home after our second child was born. We continue to do the 30-minute drive each way because of how much benefit we've seen this school provide to our daughter. Over the years we've seen our daughter become more confident, social, and excited about learning, which has been wonderful to watch. They teach the kids about different holidays and cultures and always find a reason to celebrate. We also really appreciate how diverse the student body and teachers are, which helps create a welcoming environment where kids are exposed to many different backgrounds. They're not the cheapest school and not the most expensive, but for us it has absolutely been worth it. Every concern or piece of feedback we've provided has always been taken with great care and met with a professional, non-defensive attitude. A huge added bonus is the location -- the police station is right next door, which gives us extra peace of mind as parents. They also have a giant playground with all kinds of outdoor activities for the kids, and they strongly encourage outside play. The only downside is that they don't have a third location in Castro Valley or Hayward. One can dream... hint hint, Miss Angie and Miss Coco :)

As I approach my senior year in high school, I think about my time I spent here; I attended from…read morek-5 returned for 7th and 8th grade. When they moved campuses in 2015 that's when it all started going downhill. They had to renovate an office building to be the foundation for the upbringing of kids. We didn't have any real grass; we played kickball on a patch of turf. The hallways and cafeteria felt like that of a hospital's and the classrooms were white walls and brown carpet. When I started struggling with my mental health in middle school, there was no support system, I literally had to tell the Dean all of my problems. Everyone was the same and bland. Also the change in teachers was so frequent and confusing like you'd have a teacher for one year and then they'd leave the school and you'd be taught by another teacher who was just starting their first year. The tuition is expensive for such little resources like the computers we used were from 2005, no yearbooks, discontinued bus services (I had to ride the public bus for 30 minutes everyday), there was no sense of community or understanding for students. Overall if you want your kids to attend school and not an internship, don't send them here.

My son was a student there in the early 80s. He just turned 50 and he's quite successful. He often…read moresays that Dorris Eaton is the reason. He speaks about the education, the staff and the whole experience. I agree with him wholeheartedly. I was a single parent, and the tuition took about every cent I had. I have never regretted it. It was worth every cent I had to spend. As a result Of his experience, both my grand children are the products of private schools. Whether or not, they are as good as DE, I d o not know, but I do know they are better than the public school system. If Nancy and Jerry are still there, hello from Sandy Richmond . Ryan remembers you fondly.
