Growing Tree Preschool

My daughter started going to the Growing Tree preschool after an unsuccessful transition in another good school that was just not for my child. She was a little traumatized and scared of any schools. However, the transition to the Growing Tree went smoothly and in less than a month she pushes me to go away when I drop her off. Needless to say, my daughter hardly understands any English, and speaks none of it. She says she loves her school and goes there with no hesitation. Ms. Kathy is super flexible and does a fantastic job, and the teachers are involved; equipment is fun and educational, and playground is big and shady.

Both of my children attended Growing Tree Preschool and my husband and I couldn’t speak more highly of our experience! Kathy allows parents to visit any time of the day which helped keep peace of mind while my children adjusted to the new school. My daughter is going into 2^nd grade this fall and my son is going into kindergarten. The teachers are wonderful and my little ones were always sad when they had to leave their friends. There is the perfect balance of learning and play which I believe to be ideal for this age group! My only little complaint is that prices for preschools in Palo Alto are pricey (which we weren’t used to) but that rung true for all the schools we looked at. I’ve recommended this school to a couple friends who have also had great experiences!

Growing Tree Preschool is AMAZING. The teacher and her aids are great. From day one of my son coming here he has learned.
She is flexible on hours and works with you.
Noah is learning so much about everything, from sharing to bees, planting, the alphabet. He blows my preschool that I went to out of the water.
If I have another child they will go here.
He has been there since December 2012.

We love growing tree preschool!!! It’s a smaller program and we really liked that my children got a lot of attention. We have had 3 of our children in the school and our last will enter kindergarten this fall. They were well prepared and adjusted well when they enter kindergarten. The teachers are creative and loving towards the children.
We would highly recommend your child spending there young years at this school. The teachers are very creative and loving toward our children and the projects are sooo cute!!! I’m running out of space to put them all on my wall

My son started going to Growing tree preschool since he was two and a half years old. He will be leaving the preschool to enter kindergarten this fall. He had a great experience and always loved going there. I am very satisfied with everything he has learnt during the past 2.5 years and feel that he is well prepared for school.
As a very picky parent I really felt it to be a clean and safe place for my kid. The owner Miss Kathy prepares clean and tasty food for the kids too.

There is no teaching here. The kids are left outside all day even when the temperature is in the 30s. My child’s lips were purple almost every day in January. They are fed the cheapest possible food. There is minimal supervision. Older kids pick on younger kids and the teachers do not step in. It feels like lord of the flies! Do not send your child to this day care! Take a look at the reviews Unilocal filtered out and you will get a real picture of this place.
