THE CHILD DAY SCHOOLS, PLEASANTON is a special campus with nurturing teachers for Preschool (two-year olds and three-year olds), Pre-Kindergarten, Transitional Kindergarten ), and for School-Age children. Our programs include hands-on learning and exploration promoting Kindergarten readiness. Project Web Topics promote vocabulary, beginning science, the alphabet, counting, and problem-solving.

Quotes from Recent 5-Star Reviews on Yelp:

“We absolutely love The Child Day Schools. […] watching the teachers interact with the kids I could tell that everyone really cares about these children… Their outside areas are big and shady and well equipped and the kids get a ton of time out there which I feel is crucial at this age.
And my kid LOVES IT.  […] I just can’t say enough good things about this place. Being able to leave my child somewhere I feel he is truly safe and cared for is so important.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this school! We found TCDS after our preschool abruptly shut down and it was a lifesaver. Our son thrived in the program and learned so much during his time there. The instructors are amazing and it’s a great environment with a good mix of instruction/learning and free play. He was prepared to make the transition to TK at our local elementary school last fall and it was all due to the TCDS. We’re excited to have our daughter start at the school in August. If you’re in search of a great preschool full of loving and thoughtful teachers and a wonderful academic/play environment, you definitely need to check out TCDS. I can’t recommend it enough!!“
