3 Best Preschools in Oakland, CA

We have sent our two daughters to Treehouse since 2022, and it has been a joy to watch them grow and mature under the thoughtful and loving care they receive. The Little Angels Treehouse staff patiently guided our daughters through the transition to care, making an often stressful experience for children and parents much smoother. Their expertise and confidence reassured us that our children were in excellent hands. Academically, our daughters have thrived, reaching key milestones such as writing, letter and number recognition, and counting at an early age. Socially, Treehouse has been instrumental in helping them develop important skills like emotional regulation and conflict resolution. We are also deeply grateful for the emphasis on spiritual formation, which we believe is creating a strong foundation for their future growth. Finally, being part of the Treehouse community has been a wonderful experience for our entire family. We've made meaningful friendships and truly feel connected to this special place. Treehouse is a nurturing environment that helps children grow in so many dimensions, and we highly recommend it.

Treehouse Preschool is an excellent preschool. I can say that with assurance as I have experienced Treehouse both as a mom and as an employee. My two sons attended Treehouse for many years. Each teacher they had was wonderful and provided a loving, engaging, individualized program that ensured their success in kindergarten. As an employee I was fully supported by Dr. Jan, she worked hard to get the best staff possible and she made sure everyone had everything they needed to provide a wonderful learning environment for the children. I have worked in the Preschool field for over 30 years and Treehouse is one of the best preschools I have seen.

All three of my children have attended Treehouse preschool for the past five years. The campus is beautiful, the hours are extensive to meet the needs of working parents, and the care for the children (their well being and development) is top notch. We are so grateful to have found such a high quality neighborhood preschool.

Deciding on a school to have your child spend their time is one of the most stressful task for a parent to decide on. Not only are you deciding what they'll learn, but who you're handing your child over to. To give y'all a peace of mind, BCSO is top notch. We focused our search on play-based preschools, and was really impressed from our initial tour and meet with the director. At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, it was difficult to find in person learning, no kid can learn on zoom bro. But the director assured us of all the extra measures taken to ensure the kids will be safe. Our mind was at ease. Our kid loved her teachers and pretty much everything the school had to offer. As a parent, I felt a sense of relief getting to know the teachers and how experienced and nurturing they are with dealing with little ones. The schedule offerings are flexible to your needs and tuition is really on par with most preschools that I've seen. Our youngest is now attending and we can already see the positive impact the school has made in my child's development.

Researching and touring preschools is a daunting task. Luckily the first preschool we looked at was Broadway Children's School and we were sold the minute we walked through the magical yellow door. Our 16 and 12 year old boys are graduates of this preschool and now our third son is currently attending. Although we now live in Alameda we could not think of any better school than this one. The commute is worth it! The staff are so well trained and educated in early childhood education. They are a wealth of knowledge and skilled at caring for all children of all different temperaments. They are communicative and caring to even the parents. They have cared for my 3 children and feel like they are part of our family. Put this school on the top of your list.

Both our sons have attended Broadway Children’s School and we have only had positive experiences! It’s a great community, with dedicated teachers and a play based curriculum.
