San Jose Christian Preschool

We started our son here in October of 2014.
Our decision to do so was not based on cost, rather proximity to our home, an offering of a well rounded learning experience for our son and long term education plan for stability. (he can be here through the 8^th grade)
This decision took months to make as we were happy with the preschool he attended prior to SJSC however, we wanted to make a change that would provide a long term plan for his education.
SJCS has exceeded our expectations on all fronts.
Our son is thriving and I attribute this to the care that the staff and administration provide, the age-​appropriate learning activities and a genuine desire to create a positive and happy environment for the whole family. The team at the school are loving, attentive and responsive. They have demonstrated a true commitment to partner with us (parents) so that home and school can be working in concert.
Our son comes home excited to tell us about his friends and what he learned/​did each day.
As a whole the school is a wonderful community of parents, teachers and administrators all working towards one goal of providing a happy, positive and exciting environment for children and their families.
Choosing a school for children is a personal decision with many factors to consider but I would encourage any parent looking for a positive long term education for their child (ren) to tour SJSC.

I somehow stumbled on this school while looking up another preschool for my 2^nd child. I am floored with the wonderful reviews… ALL written within a few days of each other in December of 2013. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Fishy. Just a few things I need to get off my chest– but first know that my child went here as a 2 year old for about 7 months before moving to a larger well-​oiled-​machine preschool– which this is not.
1.) The Director needs to remember she is not a behavioral therapist, a pediatrician, a family therapist, or Jesus. She actually told one mom that her child had behavioral issues because «she had a c-​section and wasn’t able to hold her baby right away». The poor mom left in tears and I wish I was kidding. This is one of MANY examples of her coldness.
2.) They combine age groups which is NOT developmentally appropriate. Huge difference between a 2 year old and a 4 year old!!!
3.) They offered no potty training support. Again, something other schools do well.
4.) And most importantly– my child (age 2!!!) escaped from unlocked play ground gates two separate times. They state the fire Marshall doesn’t allow them to lock gates. Wtf?! No other preschool in the Santa Clara County has this issue. All gates are locked! The directors response to him getting out? She «was going to pray on it»!! Ummmmmm say what?! I’m sorry– that’s not good enough for me lady.
I know people like this place because it’s cheap– but you get what you pay for and my pediatrician told me to run the other way when I shared with him my child escaping. He was right! Never happened again at the school we switched him to and he was at for 3 amazing years. Best choice ever.
