Best Kindergarten Concord Near Me

4worldlovers: Our proprietary PA curriculum fully integrates music, dance, and theater into our age appropriate development standards through classes and Broadway style productions.

Keeping our children safe is our top priority and we take it very seriously. Our schools are sanitized daily and comprehensive safety protocols have been implemented.

Learning Through Life Experiences allows a child’s learning to become experimental, imaginative and sensory based. Our pedagogical approach is to learn through these real life experiences, such as emergency services, health and nutrition, etc.

Our children are continuously nurtured by exceptional teachers and caregivers along with age appropriate educational materials for kinesthetic, audial, visual, and touch learners.

Our children exceed the entry level academic expectations of elementary schools in the community so that they are well prepared for their transition into their next phase of learning.

In this class we brighten up the world by helping our youngest children discover their senses, explore their surroundings, nurture their development and celebrate their milestones. From one-on-one interactions that help build nurturing relationships in everyday moments to age-appropriate books to support speech and language development, our classrooms provide the ideal setting for the youngest children. We are also encouraging children to work on finger painting, music, and pretend play to spark creativity while also exposing them to structures to help with perceptual motor development. When children leave this classroom they will have a Brighter Beginning to the world around them.

My son Tyson has gone to Building Kidz since he was 10 months old and is now a bit over 4 years old. I really liked our teachers over the years, who have both looked after him and genuinely care about his growth and development. I felt comfortable leaving him at Building Kidz while I worked full time. One of my favorite things that they've implemented is the use of an app that allows me to see hourly pictures and videos of my son while I'm at work. It's very reassuring to see what activities my son is doing, what meals and snacks he's gotten, and how his naptime has been for a fairly anxious first time mom like myself. I also loved that there is some curriculum and structured activities every day to promote learning or has a holiday theme. During the summer sometimes they will have bounce house days, inflatable pool days, and BBQs for the kids. Their playground area is very large-there is an area for each age and classroom. I also like that they incorporate music lessons, art time, dance teachers, and theater into the weekly schedule.

We have been at Building Kidz for almost 3 months now, and we still love it. I can't say enough about the teachers in the infant/toddler room - they are absolutely amazing! The place is cleaned nightly by a cleaning crew, and I always see the teachers cleaning as well - so the cleanliness and sanitation is top notch. We are so happy to have found Building Kidz - we hope to have another little one in the next few years, and I already know where his/her daycare will be!!

Ah Building Kidz. You deserve 10 stars and beyond. I didn't know how much I really appreciated the school, the staff, and the curriculum. Recently planning to move, so I toured about 5-6 schools in the east bay, mainly in Castro Valley and Hayward area. And base on their Yelp reviews (4.5 stars to 5 stars), you would assume the school can be comparable. Oh man I was totally wrong. I have not seen ONE school as good as Building Kidz.

When you choose Building Kidz as your partner in the development of your child, you are making a decision which will benefit children you may never meet.

We have a specially designed classrooms for children who are between the ages of 24 months and 3 years old.

Teachers get to know your child's specific needs during this unique experience and are able to meet an individual's developmental needs.

One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the joy of learning. And learning is a joyful activity when children are given the opportunity to progress at their own pace, challenged by lessons and educational materials designed to meet their individual needs.

We see a foundation for a lifetime of creative learning. To help each child achieve academic excellence, we use individualized lessons. And we offer a warm and caring environment where children can learn cooperation and respect for others.

In our educational efforts, we seek to support parents as they respond to the needs of the whole child–developing personal values and inner strength for the challenges of the diverse and changing world in which we live.

When you visit different Montessori schools, you might think you’re looking at different kinds of Montessori. What you’re really seeing is how Montessori practices are responsive to a community of parents, teachers and children. This flexibility explains why Montessori schools are so widespread; they are found on every inhabited continent. In the U.S. there are thousands of independent and public Montessori schools, each reflecting its own community and


Dr. Maria Montessori, an anthropologist and the first woman physician in Italy, left us a legacy of hands-on learning materials

That foster scientific and mathematical aptitudes, nurture an appreciation of history and support the creativity of every child.

Dr. Montessori said, “If houses suitable for children do not exist, let us build them” The first Children’s House, or Casa Dei Bambini was created in Rome in 1906. Since then, all over the world, millions of children have benefited and grown in houses, or environments, created especially for them.

The Montessori classroom is not a nursery school. It is a “prepared environment” for children of two years and up. Children are free to work undisturbed, without unnecessary interference from adults. Although group lessons and activities are included in the program, they are not the central factor. The children work at their own pace, individually or in small groups, on projects of their own choosing.

The older children help the younger ones, just as they would in a family, and in doing so reinforce what they have already learned and strengthen their own integrity and responsibility. The younger children benefit because they learn readily through the help and example of their peers.

The Montessori classroom exemplifies the principles of order and freedom. Children learn more readily in a structured, or ordered,

Order in the classroom is seen in physical order, the order in the design of the materials, the orderly sequence in which the exercises are presented and accomplished, and the child’s orderly use of the materials. A child selects the materials to use and is responsible for returning the materials when done. A teacher or another child will help the child to understand what to

Do with the material. By having the freedom to select their own work, interest is readily maintained.

Freedom in the classroom includes the right to choose one’s own work, to work alone uninterrupted, to work with another child (if that is the wish of both), to move about freely and to talk quietly.

The children’s spirit motivates the entire class and the adult influence is on the periphery as guide, mentor and model.
