This is a great school and I would send kid here. The director is respectful and I never felt look down upon because of my precious jobs. I always felt respected. They have a great program that allows children free choice. The teachers thought of well execute lesson plan and good at engaging children. It is great school and you should check it out.
My son just graduated from Children's Corner after almost 3 amazing years and my youngest is about to start. We were very fortunate to find the school. After touring and researching many schools in the area, we instantly knew it was the right school when we went for a visit. The school is very warm and puts a lot of focus on the children's emotional well being. The teachers are amazing and many have been around for years. The school is play based and they always have awesome, inviting activities for the kids every morning. My son blossomed at the school and we are excited to go through the process again with our youngest.
Children's Corner Preschool in Los Altos was such a positive experience for our grandson, who spent 2023-24 in the 3-year-old room as a half-day student. Since my husband and I cared for him M-F while his parents worked, it gave him the chance to have his first experience with other children in a safe, nurturing and very inviting space. This preschool offers exceptional quality materials and opportunities for self-directed play. Toys and activities are rotated daily and promote development of fine motor skills through painting, drawing, cutting and pasting. The doors swing open for outdoor play mid-morning, or your child may stay inside and extend his exploration with puzzles, blocks, imaginary play in the kitchen or dress-up corner. Mornings are rounded out with healthy snacks, small group activities including story-time, singing, yoga, or familiar games that promote learning to follow directions. I can't thank the staff enough for their creativity and for creating such a clean, healthy environment. Hands are washed several times a day; large fans help ventilate the rooms; tables are sanitized and floors are swept after meals. You'll receive a monthly newsletter highlighting each rooms' activities with photos of the children at play. CCP also offers seasonal opportunities for you to meet other parents and their children. As a former clinical child psychologist, Children's Corner exceeded my expectations as a play based preschool and I am most grateful to them for nurturing our grandson this year.
I feel so fortunate that I stumbled upon this amazing, nurturing, warm preschool for my two kids. The teachers are fantastic and many of them have been there for many years, which I think says a lot about the school. Children's Corner's play-based philosophy and programs really let my kids explore and develop their own interests and personalities, while establishing a strong foundation for their education. I also really appreciated that the programs ran year-round, which was really helpful for working parents.
We love Children's Corner's low student-teacher ratios and dedicated teachers, many of whom have been teaching there for 10-20 years. There is a lot of thought put into the curriculum, but it is presented through play to the kids with rotating activities at tables, lots of toys (with specific developmental goals in mind), and plenty of outdoor play time. My youngest is enthusiastic about going to school and my oldest was well prepared for an academically rigorous elementary school.
