Nia House Learning Center

The best school by far in the Bay Area! Both of my kids started at 18months all the way to kindergarten ! They were so advance in reading, writing and well rounded knowledge in math, science! A wonderful, nurturing and educational environment !

Nia House is an excellent preschool. The more I have sent my daughter to Nia House the more I am blown away by how incredible it is. Even small things that I wouldn’t have even have thought to want in a preschool — they have. My daughter has been attending Nia House for a year. She is a social and curious little one. The school environment has met her needs and met my needs as a parent. It is so well-​run, highly communicative and the staff truly cares about the children and are so mindful about the details concerning them. I send her to school knowing she is in a safe place. The staff are also mindful about healthy foods and creating an environment that will foster independence — but not in some weird way but in an empowering way and other values that are important to me. My daughter is now one of the oldest children in the toddler class and I am seeing how the school is really fostering leadership skills and kindness. I also saw that when my daughter went through a period of time that she was biting the school placed no blame on her but looked at what could be the circumstances that were creating biting. The staff has excellent communication skills and honors children’s too! I highly highly recommend. Get on the waiting list as soon as you can!

Nia House has been an awesome place! Aside from the beautiful setting, Nia House has really helped my son cultivate and reap the benefit of learning who he is while academically fortifying him with many tools. I am a pre school teacher myself and am constantly awed by the respect and empowerment given to the Nia House children by ALL of their teachers. The director and lead teacher create a customized experience for every student, making you feel that your family’s needs and wants are of the utmost importance. Even when I have voiced concern or dismay about things I have been respected and shown love and appreciation for my insight. During these times I was also given action plans that empowered both the school and my family to work together to replace our concerns with trust and comfort. My son is a second generation Nia House child (me being the first ;) I have seen Nia House change for the better over the years and in my opinion it is at a peak. Nia House is the epitome of Montessori in it’s truest form. Maria Montessori’s philosophy is upheld by teachers through continued staff development and implementation of academia via play through work. Children learn to be intentional with their learning prioritizing their interests while also learning to co-​exist safely and happily with one another and their environment. We truly love Nia House and feel that same love in return, our son is thriving! He is celebrated, loved, respected, and being taught outstanding values and lessons!

Nia House is an excellent place for toddler care all the way through Kindergarten. The environment is loving and supportive and I’ve watched my son (and nieces) develop into confident and curious little people. The teachers are fantastic and on top of being great at what they do, they have always been an excellent source for encouraging learning and dealing with challenges at home. It is such a pleasure to be able to drop your children off for full time care and see them happy and excited to be there.

This school is amazing! If you want to get your kids in, add them to the wait list as soon as you find out you’re pregnant. Getting in is difficult, because it’s so in demand. The staff are all wonderful and loving to my kids. The Montessori model is true and creates such a warm and physically and emotionally safe environment for kids to learn. I wouldn’t send my kids to another preschool.
