Reviews
"Huge fan of CPNS. We are so lucky to be a part of such a great community. We love being involved with our child's school-life, and we get to know a ton of other parents as well. It's great. Also - Hands down, best outdoor play area."
"Biggest advantage of CPNS: - Warm, open and supportive teachers and community - Play based teaching - Kids learn independence through unstructured play - Large and open outdoor playground - Endless variety of toys and art project for kids to discover - Parent support workshops where parents can continue to learn to be better parents - Safe gated located Carlmont Parents Nursery School (CPNS) is a place where teachers truly work with the parents for the developmental needs of the child. I was initially skeptical of CPNS because we were enrolled in another school (T-TH), which seemed more structured and organized. But I came to find out what mattered most was a school's attitude and approach to the child when the child is in need. My son has separation anxiety and aggressive behavior due to the introduction of a new sibling. CPNS, as a collectively community has been working with us through all of his phases/issues. CPNS teachers go out of their way to guide the kids and work with parents. They inform us of our son's behavior, they reassure us whether it's normal for his age/development stage and they provide suggestions on how we should be dealing with it at home as well. We eventually withdrew from the T-TH school because their approach was to simply call us back and had us shadow him throughout the entire class time. They had no suggestion/feedback other than for us to monitor him during class time so he's not acting out against other kids. We are grateful to have found a school where teachers, management and other parents are willing to work collectively with us through any issues."
