Sending both our daughter and son to Quarry Lane School was one of the best decisions we've made. As a parent, it is such a relief to know that both my children are in an environment where they are safe, respected, and intellectually stimulated. The "whole child" approach here isn't just a slogan. Beyond the impressive academics, the school places a strong emphasis on character development and kindness. My daughter has gained so much confidence in her abilities, and my son has made wonderful friends and developed a real curiosity for learning. The faculty is approachable and communicative, making us feel like true partners in our children's education. Having siblings at the same school can sometimes be tricky if the school only suits one personality type, but QLS has been fantastic for both of them. We are very proud to be a QLS family! read more

The Quarry Lane School - Preschools Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Ms. Yvonne is an exceptional teacher--highly professional, experienced, and genuinely loved by the children she teaches. She pays attention to detail, carefully observes each kid's daily habits and needs then communicates with parents in time. She teach manners, empathy, and respect and her classroom is a place where students feel seen and supported. I feel fortunate that my son had the opportunity to learn from Ms. Yvonne at such a young age. Her influence during these formative years has been critical and her impact will stay with him for years to come. Quarry Lane is very lucky to have an educator like her. read more

Our family had a very positive experience at Quarry Lane west campus. Both of our kids went to preschool here and have since graduated, and we're really thankful for the time they spent at this campus. The teachers were honestly the highlight for us. They were attentive and very patient with the kids. Our younger one had a hard time going to school at first, and we can see teachers handled it with a lot of patience, no ignoring, no pushing. Over time he became more comfortable and happy, and eventually looked forward to going to school. Our kids learned a lot, had fun, and made many good memories during their preschool years. We also made friendships that have lasted beyond our time at the school. No school is perfect, but based on our experience at the west campus, we felt supported and confident that our children were well cared for. So glad our kids started their school journey here. read more

Both of my girls love there. The caring and nurturing environment the campus create for the children is truly remarkable. It's heartwarming to see how excited and happy my children are go to preschool each day. The creativity, patience, and dedication that all teachers show in helping them learn, grow, and explore do not go unnoticed. read more

Stay away from this school.my daughter got physical assault from that school and been crying and having nightmare since.The teachers knows since day 1 when my daughter in the school, this boy was following her around for week. And then he pinch her chest , kick her private area. When I asked the school about the incident, they claim nothing happened. As an mother, I always follow my intuition, after 1 week passed. I decided to put my kid back to the class but try to closely monitor her. And this time I saw this boy purposely targeted my daughter and try to hurt her, when she was playing slide by herself. I immediately go up to the playground and ask the teachers and director to review the camera. but guess what the director said. She claim she will.have no time to review the cameras . When I ask to file incident report , she told me she won't have time to do any of this. Also she told me" kid got bully at school is common and that is part of their learning " I immediately respond to her " no body should ever get bully at school as part of learning . Weather they are kid nor adult" Did I ever mentioned , my daughter got nightmare everyday for months after since the incident. I have to take her to multiple Dr and specialist to heal her trauma. This school, director and teacher should all burn in hell. They failed to provide safety environment to the kids. Fyi I filed multiple Dr reports and police reports. They should get their licence taken . read more

Incredible preschool. Great balance of caring support and a strong foundation to set kids up for Kindergarten. Quarry lane West preschool has been fantastic for our daughter. It has been a warm and nurturing environment that has opened the doors for her to read, do math with confidence and learn about the world. She is excited every day to go to school. Without hesitation I will be sending my younger child here. I have also been very impressed with the administration under Ms Warren. The school has had zero closures since COVID and their safety procedures have kept the campus COVID free the entire time. The children still get to play in groups and go outside on the play equipment so my daughter doesn't feel like she is in a pandemic. I am very happy with experience at Quarry lane West. read more

Both of my daughters attended this wonderful preschool and really enjoyed it! Wonderful teachers, very academic structure and a lot of projects, activities... my kids miss it... I thought tuition is a little bit of a higher side, but compare to other places it's lower, than some new preschools. Thank you Katie for great job! read more

I want to thank you and your staff and the fabulous teachers at your organization for the wonderful education and enrichment Sophia has experienced. We couldn't be happier with everything that has gone on from teacher communication, response time to questions, flexibility with schedules and of course, the most important thing, Sophia's care and education. She is a bright and happy child and that is definitely indicative of the program you run. Thank you so much! We are definitely sad to go (now that Sophia will be off to kindergarten) but we were very blessed to be connected with you when we were looking for opportunities for preschool for Sophia. I highly recommend this school for early education! read more

My son has been west campus for two and half years. We had very good experience. He loves his school and loves his teachers. To him, quarry lane west campus preschool is like his second home. School is clean, safe and very organized with music, art, Spanish, computer, stem and library classes each week. Teachers are professional, especially Ms. Shelby and Ms. Yan. They teach kids with loving, nurturing and academics etc. We feel grateful that we had chosen quarry lane west preschool. read more

Quarry Lane School (East and West campus) is an exceptional school. Their curriculum is academic focused, has structure yet has plenty of play in and outdoors, art and music to make it a well rounded program. My girls never leave school without a smile and we consider everyone at QL family. The teachers are so nurturing, patient and experienced. You can tell they really love the kids. My 4 years old took the stem program and we noticed she became more curious. It built her confidence and taught her leadership skills. My 2 year old has been learning to use the potty while at school which is a real help with potty training. Another note that I feel is important to share is that throughout the pandemic, QL really had a system in place and everyone including the parents followed the guidelines to ensure a safe and healthy environment for the kids and faculty. They truly are amazing and I highly recommend you sending your kids here. read more

I'm very impressed with how well organized and how well run the school is as well as how community oriented the program is. My son has no trouble transferring in from another facility and loves the program and his new friends who seem so friendly and smart. Update: June 10th It was a magical year. Could not have been any better. The school was run superbly and the teachers were caring and attentive, fully engaged. Absolutely worth every penny! read more

I was so disappointed I decided to write a review about it. My kid was at the 3 YO part time class with miss Poli and miss Alex for 5 months. Both are nice, sweet and loving teachers. my kid had fun and learned a lot from the teachers, but I just couldnt relax. They did so many things that I wasnt happy about, I stopped caring about how much she is learning and started thinking if I should continue sending her to school. They make decisions without telling the parents ( they changed the playground to the big kids one without telling the parents). They also FORGOT to tell the parents the teacher is being replaced! When I asked how did that happen? why didnt you tell us miss Alex is leaving so we can explain it to the kids? the director said she forgot to send an email to the parents. She didnt even think how my 3yo would feel coming to class and not see the teacher. It also felt like she didnt care. very disappointing! Im expecting the director of the school to care about the well being of the kids, especially the young ones. Moreover, the director kept on saying we can leave and that she understand if I dont want my kid to come to school anymore, again making feel very unwelcome. In addition, I once came to school and found my kid outside looking for me. To be fair, after I said it is not OK they fixed the system and it never happened again. Anyway, although it is a great school with great teachers, it is very unorganized. So if you are an hands on parent who would like to know everything that is going on with your kid and appreciates good communication with the school, this school is not for you. Now that my kid is in another school that is fantastic! I can say that Quarry Lane is not that great and not fun at all! way too much studying for that age if you ask me. read more

We are researching preschools for our 3yo son and so this will be one of a handful of reviews I'll write based on our tours. This is definitely in our top three... good range of activities, good playgrounds, engaging teachers. Academics is there... we wanted foreign language and saw the Spanish class in action. Also like the music room and the little library. Director (Katie) was very friendly. We did our own tour then went back to the open house to meet the other teachers and see the other classrooms. read more

My daughter went to the Quarry Land preschool (west campus) last year. She loved going to school everyday and had a really good time there. Her teachers, Ms. Yan and Ms. Chandreyee, are wonderful. They love and care about kids, and always inspire them to learn. The school director, Ms. Katie, is also very nice and helpful. Overall, we had a great experience there. read more

My son did a year in the Pre K program with Ms. Sujata and Ms. Marisela. He learned more in their class than he did all of public Kindergarten. I highly recommend this school if you want a strong academically based program for your little one. Teachers were great! read more

We loved quarry lane west campus! My daughter had such a positive experience here. The teachers were amazing and are really what distinguish it from the other preschools in the area. My daughter loved music class and the stem class. The school also offers speciality programs and events monthly, ie puppet show, pumpkin patch, ocean week, etc. We tried gingerbread and primrose prior to quarry lane. Both of those schools are completely fine, but for my daughter quarry lane was a much better fit academically and socially. It's expensive, especially if you don't need full time care, but well worth the investment. read more

My son has been going quarrylane for 2 yrs now...somehow I dont like the pre-k teachers. Am not so happy with the way they talk to parents and kids. Yes they need to be authoritative but not to the extent they not treat parents right in front of other parents. There is something called as humanity and empathy which I found is lacking with these teachers. Am certainly disappointed becos of their conduct and the way they treat the kids too. I will continue with it for the whole term but I just want to give heads up for someone who thinks private school is great paying so much exorbitant fees am disappointed . Otherwise the course cirriculum is good and kids are academically driven but somehow the quality of teachers need to be improved. I feel they lack people skills and personal skills in general. read more

This preschool is way too expensive for what it is. It seems they do mostly worksheets and not much of anything else. Some of the teachers are nice, some don't seem to have much compassion or care much for the kids they teach. The office staff is nice only until they have your money. Overall, the atmosphere of this school is not pleasant, and I'm glad with our decision to choose another preschool. read more

Our first child was ready for preschool, so we checked out Quarry Lane's campus on Black Avenue. My parents founded a private school in the 1980s and my grandfather founded schools in the 60s, and I attended several types of private schools myself when I was a boy. As a result, when we visited the campus, my focus was on subtle details beyond the tour's direct scope. The little things you see and hear. All indicators, from the work on students' desks, to the attitudes of the children and teachers who weren't in (or even directly aware of) the tour, pointed towards a great place to learn and grow. The kids seemed to all be happy and engaged in really solid learning from room to room as I peeked in. That is huge and definitely the most important thing on our list. After some thought, we went for it. We have been very happy and our son is going on his second year there. Faculty have been flexible and attentive to his individual needs, and our boy, as shy as he can be, really looks forward to seeing his two homeroom teachers and friends in the classroom every week. read more

Awesome School! My daughter started this fall at QLS (black ave campus) and she absolutely loves it! Yes I agree it is expensive but so worth it! I can never put a price on education...whatever is required for the BEST education right from the beginning is my priority! The teachers are great and so is the office staff. Just wish they had the young preschool at this location as well. read more

My daughter truly loved Quarry Lane and learned a great deal from the two years that she attended. She had wonderful Caterpillar and Butterflies teachers, and has grown tremendously in both education and social development. This school has exceptional teachers that are amazing as well as caring and a great staff/administration to go along with that! I can't say enough great things about QLS! read more
