Laurel Playgardens

We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience our daughter had at Laurel Play Gardens. She started there at just 21 months and stayed until she was 5, and it truly was the perfect environment for her growth. The teachers are all very caring and affectionate, creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere that made her feel safe and loved. She learned so much through play, which fostered her social and emotional development beautifully. The environment is ideal for children to build self-confidence, and we appreciated the mixed-age setting. Our daughter benefited greatly from being around older children; as she grew, she took on caring for the smaller kids, which was a fantastic experience for her. Thanks to Laurel Play Gardens, her transition to kindergarten was smooth and confident. We highly recommend this wonderful place for any parent seeking a caring, enriching, and positive start for their child's early years.

Our son, Noah, joined Laurel Play Gardens when he was just two, and we've been consistently impressed. The transition was seamless, thanks to the incredibly patient and caring teachers. They create such a loving and supportive environment where even the youngest learners feel safe and encouraged to explore. The outdoor play area is a huge bonus, and Noah absolutely loves the different themes and activities they introduce. We've noticed a significant improvement in his language development and his ability to interact with other children. For any San Jose parents seeking a preschool with genuinely warm teachers and a fantastic curriculum, Laurel Play Gardens is an exceptional choice.

Choosing Laurel Play Gardens for our daughter, Mia, was one of the best decisions we've made. From the moment we walked in, we felt the welcoming atmosphere. The small class sizes mean she gets personalized attention, and we've seen incredible growth in her communication and problem-solving skills. The variety of activities, from circle time to art collaborations and outdoor play, keeps her engaged and happy. We also really appreciate the excellent communication from the staff they keep us updated on Mia's progress and daily activities, which really builds trust. It's truly a 'home away from home' for her, and she wakes up excited to go to school every morning. Thank you, Laurel Play Gardens, for creating such a wonderful space for our little one!

Laurel is the best decision we made for our child! He attended Laurel for two years, and since the very first day, we knew that he was in good hands. The teachers are absolutely incredible: truly loving and caring to all the children, attentive and communicative, and great at teaching. They're also really great at figuring out how each kid can excel - for example, our son loves reading and arts & crafts, and he was able to really develop those skills through phonics and coloring. We were so impressed with how much he was able to learn through lots of play. We loved the mixed-age approach as he got to learn a ton from the older kids, and once he got to be a big kid, he loved helping care for the younger ones! They encourage independence (he mastered feeding himself, potty training, scissors, washing hands, etc). Our son's transition to TK was seamless and we credit Laurel for that. And on top of all this, Laurel is great at creating a tight-knit community with the families. Lots of gatherings, birthday parties, playdates, and ways to meet new friends in the neighborhood. We love this school and look forward to sending our younger one.

We chose LPG to enroll my daughter and we were really worried if my she will like going to school away from home but just after few months of attending it she has started liking to go to school everyday and is always really excited for it. She loves the teachers here very much and the teachers are very approachable for parents. Very caring environment, including encouraging them to eat all their lunch!
