I love their dedication to multi cultural education and to teaching the kids real life skills that attach their education to real life and help them understand and make sense out of subjects that might otherwise seem pointless and unrelated to themselves. My kindergartener related the waxing and waning of the moon to other things that change in a similar way and my 7 year old sings songs about the march Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lead to fight for civil rights! I could not ask for a better education for my kids!

My daughter has absolutely loved attending Woodside West Preschool, and I cannot recommend them…read moreenough! After her previous preschool closed, we were fortunate to find Woodside West, and it has been one of the best decisions we've made. The teachers are incredible--kind, patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in each child's success. You can tell they truly care about the children and create a warm, welcoming environment where kids feel safe, loved, and encouraged to learn. One of the first things I noticed was how secure the campus is. The coded front gate gives me peace of mind every day, and the school's convenient location is an added bonus. My daughter came from a preschool that focused more on free outdoor play with very little structure. Since attending Woodside West, she has grown so much. The curriculum does a wonderful job preparing children for the transition to elementary school through tracing, hands-on learning activities, sensory play, and age-appropriate academics, while still making learning fun. The outdoor space is absolutely beautiful! The playground is large, well maintained, and has soft artificial turf with plenty of play structures for the kids to enjoy. During warmer weather, they also have water tables, sensory bins, and other engaging outdoor activities. And of course, Dance Friday is always a highlight of the week! You can truly see the passion the owner has for the school. Their dedication and years of experience shine through in every aspect of the program and the caring atmosphere they've created. I also recently learned they offer a Big Kids Club for school-age children during summer break, which is such a wonderful option for families. We are so grateful for everything Woodside West has done for our daughter. She has grown academically, socially, and emotionally, and she is excited to go to school every day. If you're looking for a preschool with caring teachers, a safe environment, and a program that truly prepares children for kindergarten while still letting them be kids, I highly recommend Woodside West!

We have had the pleasure of being a part of the Woodside family for about 3+ years now. Our oldest…read morestarted the program as a 2 year-old "Scooter" with Miss Jessica and is now about to wrap up his TK year with Miss Allison, and then move on to the big K! His younger brother has followed in his steps and is currently with Miss Jessica, keeping her on her toes. As our boys get older and continue to evolve, embracing their boy energy, the teachers really take the time to connect and find ways to communicate effectively with them (and us!). It really makes you feel like you're a giant parenting team. It's been the equivalent to having a second pair of mom hands. We absolutely love the teachers! Miss Jessica, Miss Mary, and Miss Allison have all been wonderful and instrumental to the growth in our boys. Diana has been a true gem of a business leader and we simply could not have done the early years without this incredible group of women. Both boys have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. Making friends and connections that I believe will last a long time. A value in itself. It takes a village to raise of a family, and I highly recommend making Woodside West a part of yours.

She said Teresa made her feel confident and treated her with such respect and was so patient with her. She said there is no doubt that she learned more from her than her actual teachers. My daughter is now in college and thriving! She brought her SAT scores up and she has more confidence now than she ever has because of Teresa. I highly recommend her. Yes I've paid for cheaper tutors they where a waste of time. You get what you pay for with Teresa , a real credentialed experienced teacher. Thank you Teresa. Sincerely, Rick, Evette & Diana Feigel

My son is rather selective regarding tutors and really appreciated her teaching style. She gave my son confidence that he could get through the math material.

The teacher Mrs. J is exactly like Ms. Mention from the Little Princess. Not warm at all to her students. My son came home several times during the year and stated that he hated himself and wanted to kill himself. I'd recommend the school for regular Ed, but steer clear for special education. Another parents words for her are "if she smiles, her face will crack". This may sound harsh, but sadly it's true. We've loved every other special education class that we've been in and every other school we've been to.

The teachers are really what make this school. My daughter has been fortunate enough to have some…read moreamazing teachers that have been super active in her short educational journey. We moved from the east coast to California and it was quite the adjustment. Each teacher she has been with has taken a personal interest in seeing her success. I have thought about moving for better programs several times but every member of the staff here takes a large amount of pride in their work and you can tell by the way the kids talk about them. Everyone from the kitchen to the teacher's aids are well loved by their students and in their school. They had a pretty cute Spanish Club that she loved and always wanted to go to homework club until she got to 4th grade and had longer school hours. The lunch program is so wonderful and they use fresh produce from the garden the kids keep up! I wish I could pay for lunch online because I am always that parent that gets a notice, in the PO Box I don't check, about how she ate lunch there instead of whatever was in her box. It would be nice if they had more funding or students to be able to add more art, music, sports or other types classes. I have looked into driving a distance to be able to allow my children to participate in programs like orchestra, gymnastics or FFA. That seems to be rare to find in Northern California schools though as well. The 1-3 grades have a nice little after care program going on where they hang out until the big kids get out for those who have older siblings (or just want to play with their friends after school). Not having a bus that picks up at houses is such an issue. Might be the east coaster in me but we were picked up in front of our house or very close to it. If you don't have a school bus program that is good enough to get most of the kids to school then the pick up drop off area could be organized better. The website was just redone. I have to say I really like the emails that they have been sending out. Keeps me more informed. Though I can not see any of the attachments or calendars or photos on the web site. I asked about it and the "tech guy" said he doesn't make it anymore so he can't do anything about it. Told me that you can't see it on your phone, Safari or on internet explorer. Why would you pay someone to make a website that did not work on platforms that people most use? Whatever.. I guess I don't need to know when school is off. I will figure it out when I pull up and there aren't parents parked in the no parking zone. **************************************************************** Something that they cannot help but the parents attending could: The parking is so terrible here and none of the parents seem to want to get on the same page. The principle asks over and over again to not park in the drop off area and I am not sure why they don't understand. It would be so much easier if I could just drive in have her jump in the car and go. Alas, I have to park far away and pull my young baby out of the car to drag him all sleepy eyed to the flagpole while walking by screaming jumping children banging into me clutching my child scared of the children that are not scolded by their parents, too good to park in the parking lot, while they sparkly ask if I need help. Yes.. I need help from you to get your children to respect a stranger's space and understand how it is inappropriate to bounce into random people holding infants. Also.. I need help from you not parking in the drop off area so that I don't have to bring my poor bubby out of the car after he JUST fell asleep. Not something that the school can help. Just annoying to look at other reviews on school review sites and watch the parents bash the principle for having cars towed once. That has not happened since my children have gone here but some times I wish it would!!! They should auction off more of those preferred parking spots.. take my money.. it is so worth it.
