The program is play-based and parents take work shifts to help out during the day. It could be providing the snack or helping with art activities. It's usually during the first and last 15 minutes of the class. Their playground is a legit and sturdy old-school one that you would never find nowadays. It's just amazing. This review is long overdue. I had been looking for a school/program for my daughter. We suspected that she might be on the spectrum so we wanted to find a place that provided the social environment and interaction with other children as well as accept her as the special girl she was. During the year, it was a rollercoaster of a ride. She had her own difficulties adjusting, and there were numerous moments when I wanted to take her out of the program thinking she just wasn't ready. The main reason I stayed was because of the support we received from the school director, Erica. I've had bad experiences before with other school who would single out my children as different, but even with her eventual diagnosis, Erica made us as a family feel welcome and understood. She provided the support and compassion we desperately needed while trying to navigate our new life transition. Being a part of our child's learning was also a big plus. Before my gf suggested I look into a co-op preschool, I had never even heard of such a thing. They're only this small for a short while and being able to be present for that is priceless to me.

When we started, Aaliyah was shy and had a hard time with circle time. For the first few months, she would have a meltdown almost every class because she knew circle time meant we would be leaving soon. Wendy never rushed or pressured her. She has such a natural gift for working with young children, gently encouraging them at their own pace. Week by week, Aaliyah became more comfortable. Before long, she was joining in the songs, helping with the parachute, and eventually dancing in the middle of the circle with the other children. Watching her confidence grow over the course of the year was incredibly rewarding. Every class offered something new to explore. There were crafts like painting and coloring, dress-up and imaginative play, sensory activities, and plenty of time outdoors. The outdoor space is wonderful, with two separate playgrounds for different ages, plus tricycles, a sandbox, water play, bubbles, and so many opportunities for little ones to learn through play. One of the things that makes LGPNS so special is its cooperative preschool model. Parents are actively involved in the classroom alongside an experienced teacher, creating an exceptionally high adult-to-child ratio. It meant every child received lots of attention, and it also gave us parents the chance to really get to know one another. Our class was small enough that we formed genuine friendships, and I'm confident many of those relationships will continue long after preschool. Wendy is everything you hope for in a first teacher--warm, patient, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable about child development. It's easy to see why families speak so highly of her. LGPNS gave our daughter a joyful first school experience and helped her develop confidence, independence, and a love of learning. It also gave our family a wonderful community. We are so grateful for this past year and would wholeheartedly recommend the Terrific Toddlers program to any family looking for a nurturing first preschool experience.

We attended this amazing school for our PreK experience. We were very fortunate to have a choice…read morebetween attending a public school TK program or a private preschool. We chose Los Gatos Parent Nursery School (aka LGPNS) and it was a great fit for our 5-year-old. I have an elementary school teacher credential and I personally feel my child is going to be 100% prepared for kindergarten after attending LGPNS. The school philosophy emphasizes social-emotional skills, developmentally appropriate curriculum, and play-based, child-directed experiences. Academic skills and school readiness are embedded in their thoughtful curriculum. At the PreK class, this means that during circle time, children raise their hand to speak, practice listening to one friend at a time, and work on sitting still, all while doing literacy development through books and rhymes. They develop fine motor schools during art as they practice pencil grip and use scissors. They get early math skills throughout the day by counting, estimating, comparing and making graphs. There is a daily science center as well. There is plenty of time for outdoor, child-directed free-play too! At this time, children work on gross motor skills at the play structure, bike path, and gymnastics mats. They get wonderful sensory development at the sand box, mud kitchen and water table. Throughout the day, they get lots of support in social emotional skills like self-regulation and navigating peer relationships. Children are guided to solve their own challenges with adult support. Children own the process as much as possible, in an age-appropriate way. The facility is bright, clean, and well-stocked with everything from toys and art supplies to books and science materials. The teachers at the school are well-educated, have years of teaching experience, and have been at the school for a long time. Our bi-racial family has always felt welcome and included at the school, and we love how being at a co-op gives us the chance to meet other parents and build community. The adult-child ratios are great too! This is because parents work in the classroom once a week. I get so much value out of my classroom shifts. It helps me understand my child better when I seem them in different contexts. The teacher is always there to offer observations and advice if I ask. I feel I get to grow and improve as a parent and I can support my child better as a result of being at a co-op. Thank you LGPNS!

Participating in Sunnymont-Westside has been one of the most empowering experiences, and I have noticed the positive effect it has had on my child's growth in a few months. As a first-time parent and secondary language speaker of English, I was a bit nervous about sending my kid to school. However, the supportive and welcoming atmosphere at Sunnymont-Westside has made the transition far smoother. Watching my child learn alongside other children, experienced teachers, and warm-hearted parents has been incredible. What's noteworthy is the support I received from the other parents. It's amazing how a group of strangers can come together, share their experiences, and form bonds. Of course, being a part of a parent-participating nursery school isn't always easy. It takes much more commitment, time, and work, but the rewards are well worth it. I learned so much about child development and witnessed firsthand my involvement's impact on my child's development. We grow together. The benefits of parent participation are clear - both for the kids and parents ourselves! Come and see why so many families love our program :)

My son attended ATLC from Nov 2025 until April 2026 when we removed him from the school after he…read morestated that a teacher had hit him more than once. This was the final straw after we had a few red flags in the short amount of time our son attended this school. A few of these red flags include the following: - Another student hit our son in the face with a stick on the playground. We received a phone call around 2:55PM, approximately 15 minutes before we were scheduled to pick him up to tell us he had a minor scratch on his face and is okay. When we picked him up, we found out he had a large cut from above his eyebrow, down across his eyelid, and then down his cheek and was more severe than presented over the phone. That night I wrote an email about my concerns with the supervision on the playground and asking what their protocol was for sending kids home. Our son had previously been sent home for not taking a nap, but this child who hit our son was not sent home. I never received a response to this email. The following day at drop off we received an incident report that stated this incident occurred around 9AM, even though we were informed about hours later. It as well was framed as it was our son's fault for the incident since he took a toy a separate child was playing with. - Our son had begun to be sent home frequently as he had started to not take naps anymore. They would usually call us right before naptime and tell us to pick him up as he was 'disrupting naptime'. One morning I dropped him off and within 30 minutes I received a phone call saying that they were understaffed for the day and asked me to pick him up since he was their 'active' student. - We found out from our son that they played tv prior to naptime when we were never told that they do screen time as we limit screentime in our own home. It is also proven that screentime prior to nap or bedtime prevents restfulness. - If a child does not nap, they will single them out and make them sit by themselves in an empty room. - Our son went from absolutely loving school/daycare and never having disciplinary incidents to weekly being told he was a problem child and singled out constantly. This led to him crying and never wanting to go to school as I believe he felt the dislike toward him from the teachers. - He began to tell us how he only liked his one teacher and that his other teacher was mean. This led to him telling us how on the playground one day this specific teacher grabbed him by the hand, dragged him over to forcefully pick up a toy, and open hand slapped him on the knees/shin area. He told me that this teacher previously sat on him during nap time. He then told me that this teacher called him a naughty word. When pressed further he ended up telling us that the teacher called him "a little shit". Following this incident we immediately pulled our son and removed him from this school. When my MIL went to pick up his belongings, the same teacher laughed in my MIL's face when the situation about hitting our child came up and yelled at her. It was extremely disappointing and disheartening that this woman was supposed to be teaching my son and making him feel safe when she ended up doing the complete opposite. - Lastly, our son has an IEP for speech, and it makes me very concerned that they singled out a child who may not fully be able to communicate what was happening to him. His speech teacher that is employed by the Cambrian school district, conducted an observation of him in class and stated how he had an amazing morning with no incidents. I was elated by the feedback, but of course once we picked him up at the end of the day, we were met by the teacher who told us how unruly he was *right* when the speech teacher left the classroom conveniently. I do not think this woman should be working in any environment with a child moving forward and I hope no other child is hurt physically or emotionally by this preschool. Our son now goes to another preschool and has been thriving since starting there. He has many friends, loves his teachers, and comes home every day with something new that he learned in school. He never had that at ATLC. Instead, he had mean teachers and another student telling him "No one likes you. You have no friends" at THREE.
