Best Preschools in Berkeley

Griffin is a wonderful preschool where the director and teachers are so talented at their craft. It's hard to write a short recommendation about Griffin while also feeling it is comprehensive, so I'll summarize into the key reasons it's been such a wonderful experience for us.

Our oldest son attended school here a few years ago and we loved how the teachers cared for him and made him feel like family. He was a nervous kid and each year there was a teacher that took him under their wings. We moved across town and when it was time for our younger child to attend preschool, we looked at many local places but were never able to feel comfortable with any of these places and decided to make the trek back here. We couldn’t be happier. He is thriving in his first group setting and excited to go to school each and every day. We would strongly recommend this school for your loved ones.

I love EVERYTHING about this school! Down from the director to all the teacher in every classroom, this is the best school I ever have seen. The kids are happy and run around in their amazing inside playground. Lots of sand and even space for the kids to ride scooters and bikes. If you want to get your child the best care, this is the school for it. Get a tour with the director Candace and you will experience it yourself.

My 2 year old goes to this amazing school and she loves it. Friendly and super professional staff, great community with welcoming families and super reasonable tuition.

My kids 2nd home from ages two through five. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Little Beans. My little ones came from a larger chain daycare system that was way more expensive but highly disorganized, and not in a "free play encouraged" kind of way but more like a Lord Of The Flies kind of way. Lots of turnover and chaos. My daughter HATED going every day. We moved her to Little Beans and it was like night and day. The owners, Kathleen and Heather, are super careful about hiring and would rather be under-enrolled than hire someone who won't be the right fit or who will leave after six months. My kids love every teacher here. We started my son the month he turned two and his experience has been just as good. The staff has even been instrumental in potty training for both of them. The only heads up I would give is make sure you are aware of their holiday closures. If you can manage those weeks, Little Beans might be the place you've been looking for!

We absolutely love Little Beans! Our son was well prepared for kindergarten after spending two years there. We now have our daughter enrolled and she is thriving. We will be sad to go when our youngest graduates. I have nothing but good things to say about Little Beans. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

This is a shout out to BPN families who are looking for a wonderful, nurturing, and loving environment for their preschoolers. Although the school is new, the director and teachers are not and we cannot say enough nice things about them, their teaching, and their motivation for loving children. Our 5-year-old daughter is thriving at Little Beans. Please do not hesitate to contact me for a recommendation.
