Primeros Pasos Preschool

My son attended Primeros Pasos Preschool part time and we can only imagine how much more he would have achieved if we had enrolled him full time. Aside from all he learned academically, he came out of his shell and became more social. He looked forward to go to school and built a special bond with Maestra Susy. He adored all his teachers and that just goes to show how caring and nurturing they are. He couldn't wait to tell me about his and everything they learned. They got home cooked meals and hes a less picky eater now. We're forever grateful for everything they do and cant wait to enroll our other son.

My son attended Primeros Pasos Preschool for the 2021-2022 school year. During his time there he was always excited to attend school and thrilled to tell me how his day went when he was done for the day. Prior to attending, my son was not well versed in Spanish by any means, and I was previously concerned if he would understand, but I can now say my concerns were nothing to be worried about in the first place. The teachers take the time to communicate in Spanish AND English. My son who did not speak Spanish prior to attending can say his ABC's', count, and say several sentences in Spanish. All the teachers were great and provided photos uploaded on their preschool app while your child is at school. So it was nice to be updated and see how your child's day is going 🙂 Also, Maestra Ana, is very quick to respond if you need to get in contact with her, which I appreciated. Overall, I am very pleased with our experience at Primeros Pasos. They treated my son very well and I am very appreciative of that. I also plan on having my daughter attend when she turns 3 as well ☺ Super happy with everything here and we will be coming back!

I sent my daughter to Primeros Pasos this year (2021-2022) and let me tell you it was the best decision I ever made for her education. I originally choose this school because of the dual language. She has learned so much Spanish in such small amount of time during these difficult times. Also, I loved how they were greeted every single morning with a hug, and also taught to wash your hands before meals and after the restroom. The children also get home cooked meals which is amazing. This school transition the students for grade school is such a fun and educational environment. There is so many amazing factors to this preschool so if you are looking for a preschool for 3-5 years, I would definitely recommend this one you will not REGRET it.

I, very hesitantly, enrolled my 4- year old child at Primeros Pasos in the beginning of the 2022-2023 year. She was demonstrating extreme anxiety due to a loss in the family and we wanted to expose her to “school life” sooner rather than later. Most importantly, we wanted to expose her to this in a nurturing environment and after much research, Primeros Pasos seemed like a good choice. Even though it was definitely a difficult journey for our family, especially my little one, I am so glad we did. The teachers had so much patience with us. Their communication was the best; they were transparent about the difficult days, but supportive and hopeful for future days to come. They provided pictures on a daily basis and were very accessible; amazing for a first time parent separating from her child for the first time! They were reasonably accommodating when necessary. In the end, my daughter LOVES going to school. She loves her teachers and friends. She looks forward to the days she attends and misses school the days she cannot go. Most importantly, she feels safe when she goes and I’m so grateful for the environment Primeros Pasos has created. *Bonus* She’s officially bilingual thanks to the Spanish exposure and encouragement!

We are just completing our first year of preschool at Primeros Pasos and I have nothing but RAVE REVIEWS for this school and it’s staff! I enrolled my daughter because we wanted her to be enrolled in a dual-language program. She knew ZERO Spanish before starting school with them and now she knows so much! Not only that, but she’s learning basic sign language as well as all the normal pre-school learning. I think my favorite thing about the school is just how obvious it is that the teachers and staff LOVE their students! On a personal level they are greeted every day with true caring and a hug and they are prepared meals on site for breakfast, lunch and snacks. On a professional level they are very communicative and organized and easy to deal with. I didn’t know what to expect going into it and the experience and program have far exceeded my expectations. My daughter LOVES her school and we do too. We’ve already signed her up for next year! Personally, I think it’s the best program and option in the Gustine/Newman area. You would NEVER regret the decision to send your child here!
