Re: Preschool or Daycare for 2 yr old near Richmond
I highly recommend you contact Rich at The School on the Hill http://www.tsoth.org for
your son. It sounds like they have everything you're looking for, including a teacher to
student ratio that will never be more than 1:5, lots of outdoor space, music,
kid-centered learning and play and also a sliding fee scale based on your income. Feel
free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Re: Preschools in El Sobrante/ Richmond area?
Anybody looking for a preschool in the Richmond area should know about The School on
the Hill. It's a brand new, non-profit school with a child-centered curriculum run
by a credentialed teacher with 30 years of experience working with kids. You can get
more information on their website at www.tsoth.org

Has anybody heard of The School on the Hill in Richmond? It seems great but it's
brand new and there are no recommendations for it so I was hoping somebody might have
heard of it or the head teacher, Richard Sugerman? He used to be a teacher in BUSD?
Anything anybody can tell me would be helpful.
Thanks
Richard has been working with my 4th grade boys in math for about the last year. He
is a wonderful teacher as well as a great guy. He is very kind yet firm with my
boys. That combination is rare and what often differentiates the great from the
good teachers. I only wish he was teaching preschool when my boys were preschool
age.

Mr. Sugerman was my child's second grade teacher several years ago at Berkeley Arts
Magnet. He was very popular with the students and parents. He clearly loved kids
and teaching. He did a great job of keeping all the students engaged and
interested and targeting lessons to their interests and abilities -- not so easy
with a class of 20 kids from very different backgrounds. He treated all the kids
with a lot of respect, and he stressed the importance of them showing respect for
each other. He used a lot of humor and music in the classroom, which was great. I
don't know what his new venture is like, but based on our experience with his
teaching at BAM, I'd recommend him very highly as a teacher.

I am excited to hear that Richard Sugerman is starting a school. He is a fabulous
educator on many levels. First and foremost he is dedicated to children
academically, socially and emotionally. He is also dedicated to supporting
parents. He is brilliant and communicates to parents as if they know all the child
knowledge he does. Rich tutored my son for six months while he was on home
hospital due to anxiety. He carefully and thoughtfully made learning fun for him
and more importantly helped my son build trust in his educator. This preschool
will be a wonderful addition to our local community.
