We had a private tutor for years, but once my child hit her current grade level the private tutor was no longer able to assist. So I searched tutors far and wide across Lamorinda. While their prices are a bit more than most in the area, my daughter and I have been pleased with the service. Her tutor is highly educated and skilled in most subject areas. She's been a great fit. We have also had another tutor within this company when our girl was ill and she too was wonderful! Also the communication with the owner is always great.

He's made so much academic gains because of them and they do such a great job of breaking down difficult concepts for him.

Our youngest child went here for the PACT program and it was a wonderful experience. The teachers…read morewere sweet and very attentive and had great interventions and teaching moments (for the kids and me!) throughout the day. Having had an older kid go through a different program I'm familiar with the stress that can sometimes accompany a co-op preschool but they made the experience pleasant, judgment free, and safe for everyone! I highly recommend the school!

Our daughter has been attending BCSO, in the PACT classroom for a year now and words cannot…read moredescribe how much we love this school. First and foremost, the teachers are very caring and attentive, not only to children but to parents as well. Since it is a play-based school, different toys are provided each time we attend class. Hence, children have plenty of learning opportunities through play such as working on their fine motor skills, social skills, and exploring different ways of playing. Having a nurturing environment for our daughter to begin her education journey is very important to us. We are very grateful that we've found BCSO as they continue to exceed our expectations. Our daughter wakes up in the morning wanting to go to school and leaves school with a big smile on her face. She had made tremendous progress with her learning development as well. Lastly, we recently relocated to another city, but decided to have our daughter continue attending BCSO. This school is truly a gem!

We are lucky to have had our daughter attend Orinda Afternoons for 3 years. Bekki and her staff…read moreprovide a safe, loving and educational environment which has helped our daughter to thrive. Orinda Afternoons is as professionally run as any larger non-home based program - electronic sign-in/-out, daily digest e-mails, and very consistent and high-quality staffing. At the same time, it retains a very warm and caring atmosphere. Bekki takes a genuine personal interest in the children and is highly proactive in helping us stay ahead of our daughter's needs and interests. She's even offered the opportunity to take swimming and gymnastics lessons while attending the program.

I cannot say enough about Orinda Afternoons! They have been a godsend to our family. Bekki and her…read moreassistant teachers are unfailingly kind and communicative. Our son is very high energy and they have been able to redirect his energy in a positive manner while teaching him about the alphabet, numbers, volcanos (which he adores) and hydroelectric power to name just a few of the subjects taught. He has made friends and we have also made friends with the other families attending. Bekki has been available for calls on the weekends and evenings. I feel that I have an adult that is as invested in my son's success as I am. There is not greater comfort for any parent.

I cannot comment on the preschool itself but it ticks me off that they took our application money for THIS.

Our daughter had a great experience but the lack of communication, poor payment management and disrespectful directors means I can't recommend this preschool. One year after our daughter stopped being enrolled we are still waiting for them to reimburse us our prepaid tuition.

The teachers here are experienced, dedicated, and deeply committed The director is always present, kind, and attentive. Nothing goes unnoticed, and the children are always cared for. As parents in the LGBTQ community, we didn't expect to be embraced so openly, but this school and its families welcomed us with warmth, respect, and authenticity. That has meant more to us than words can express. What makes this place even more meaningful is how much they invite families to be part of it. Whether it's story time or the incredible Cultural Fair, pride, you're not just a spectator--you belong. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community.

From the…read morestart, the administration has been communicative, welcoming, and intentional in creating a safe, caring environment. The teachers are exceptional. Our biggest priority is knowing our children are loved, supported, and their needs are met--and Springfield has consistently delivered that and more. Both of our boys were well prepared for public school transitions and developed a genuine love of learning. It's clear the staff are passionate about what they do, and we've truly felt like part of the Springfield family. I have a degree in Early Childhood Development and toured many local preschools before choosing Springfield. In my opinion, it is one of the top preschools in the area. Yes, the enrollment process is thorough and tuition is higher than some options, but the quality of care, education, and teacher support makes that clear.

She has a very natural and sincere rapport with my daughter, which has helped to reduce much of the frustration and anxiety that can contribute to her math struggles. I believe that her approach has allowed my daughter to cultivate more optimism and confidence in her abilities and capacity.

With her background in education, she's also given me great advice and insight as a parent.

We're so grateful for her!
