Heffalump School

"The happiest moments of my son's life have been at Heffalump School. He literally told me that the other day. My 4 1/2 year old son has been to three different preschools, one in our hometown in Mexico and two here in Palo Alto. He has always had a tough time saying goodbye and being at preschool instead of at home. At Heffalump, I know he enjoys himself immensely. There is so much play. So many trains, so many legos! Teachers Meenakshi and Barbara provide a wonderful environment for mixed-age preschoolers. My son has already made so many friends. Barbara always has a kind welcome for me when I drop off Milo, and Meenakshi always has a compliment or nice word to say about Milo when I come pick him up. I learn what he likes to spend time on and focus on and what he enjoys through their generous sharing. I am delighted with Heffalump and would highly recommend sending your preschoolers of any age there. If Milo does not like Barron Park Kindergarten next year, we'll send him back to Heffalump for another year!"

"As a father, nothing compares to seeing your child grow, learn, and discover. I thank Heffalump School for being an integral part of my son's early journey in this world. The school's emphasis on music really struck a chord with him. With a mix of traditional songs, instrument play, and rhythmic exploration, the curriculum nurtured his creativity and love for music. These experiences fostered not only his musical skills but also his broader cognitive development. It was inspiring to see our little boy come home humming tunes and showing off new dance moves. I appreciate how Heffalump doesn't have a one-size-fits-all approach; they understood each child marches to the beat of their own drum. The teachers offered genuine, personalized attention, and I saw firsthand how this fueled our son's growth. As a parent, I couldn't ask for more - I wholeheartedly endorse Heffalump School as a great start to any child's educational journey."

"As a proud parent of a Heffalump School graduate, I am thoroughly impressed by the commitment and personalized care the staff devotes to each child. Children are given the freedom to explore their interests and learn at a pace that suits them. This ensures no child is left behind or feels rushed. This strategy not only encouraged my son's curiosity but also helped develop his self-confidence. The dedication of the staff to understand and cater to the unique needs and strengths of each child truly sets Heffalump apart from other preschools. I am grateful for the strong foundation they provided for my son, and I wholeheartedly recommend Heffalump School for its excellent preschool program."

"My time at Heffalump School back in 2011 left me with great memories and important life skills. The environment was nurturing and stimulating, allowing us kids to explore our own interests at our own pace. Teachers were dedicated, and the sense of community was strong. Outdoor activities and a true love for nature were big parts of the experience. Looking back, I'm grateful for the foundation Heffalump laid for my learning journey. I highly recommend it for any parent seeking a well-rounded preschool experience for their child."

"Heffalump is a wonderful school. My son loved his teachers Ms. Meenakshi and Ms. Barbara.The teachers gives lot of individual attention and care to each student. This school is a wonderful options for kids who are going to daycare/school for the first time. Highly recommend it."
