- Private Elementary – our program is a private elementary school program for Pleasant Hill and nearby residents. Convenient hours coupled with modern, best-in-class teaching methodologies solidify a passion for learning in your child, plus educate him or her in the basics of STEM.
Our Kindergartners act as positive role models for their younger classmates, assuming responsibility that will further reinforce their own capabilities and self-esteem. Everything that children have learned during the Preschool years comes together in Kindergarten, giving children a readiness to meet and explore new challenges. The Kindergarten curriculum strongly focuses on literacy, math, and skills necessary for elementary school such as penmanship, completion of assignments, as well as self-organization. Enrichment activities such as art, music, movement and stage performances, and oral presentations round out the Kindergarten experience, as well. In addition, our Kindergarten class is included within the structure of the Spanish Language Program.
Questions and Answers
Q. What age is preschool?
A. Preschool is typically thought of as between the ages of 3 and 5. However, we accept children as young as eighteen months and go up to age 9 at this campus.
Q. What is the difference between toddler, preschool, and kindergarten programs?
A. We tailor each program not only to the specific child’s age group but also to their specific needs. At every age-appropriate opportunity, we introduce learning concepts and work to instill a passion to learn. Toddlers are usually considered between 2 and 3 years old, with preschoolers, 3-5 ages, and Kindergarteners thereafter. But we work with each child individually.

A. Our rates are cost competitive. Please inquire at the school to learn up-to-date information on the costs of preschool, daycare, childcare, etc.
Q. What are the advantages of a private preschool program over public transitional preschool / kindergarten in Pleasant Hill?
A. Our private program offers more convenient hours, not only during the day and week but throughout the entire year (as in Summe). In addition, our curriculum is a top priority. We encourage children to learn at age-appropriate ways and are an excellent private alternative to the limited options of public preschool and kindergarten in Pleasant Hill.
Q. How should I go about selecting the best daycare, childcare, or preschool for my child?
A. First and foremost, we highly recommend that you call in and make an appointment for a school tour. Our staff is excited to meet you and your child or children.

Pleasant Hill California: Factoid
Here’s a fun factoid about Pleasant Hill history. “The area that is now the City of Pleasant Hill grew from farmland to a dormitory community during the Second World War. Residents voted to incorporate it in 1961. Early on, community leaders expressed concern about the deteriorating condition of many properties developed decades before the intersection of Contra Costa Boulevard and Monument Boulevard, two main roads through the community. At the same time, it was envisaged that this central area could be transformed into a focal point for community identity, providing a place for residents to gather and strengthening the community’s sense of place.” Source: https://www.magnifiedmedia.net/pleasant-hill-ca-top-landmarks-to-v
