Re: Looking for Preschools Pinole/ El Sobrante/Hercules
I would like to recommend that you visit Small World Montessori located in the Richmond/El Sobrante area. I've placed both my children in their care and have been very pleased. It's a very warm, caring environment where the teachers encourage a love of learning and respect. My daughter, who I placed there when she was 2.5, was one of a handful of children who attended through kindergarten. Her reading skills are above grade level as well as math. Now in 1st grade, it appears the work she is receiving is still a review of what she learned at Small World (I hope this changes soon). My son is now attending and I expect the same results. More importantly, I think all of the teachers instilled a sense of respect for learning, cooperation but also provided an environment in which the kids learned how to ask for assistance and were encourage to express their feelings. You can contact them at 510-222-6059. Email me if you have more questions. gdodds

Does anyone have any experience with either Kid's Corner Preschool in El Sobrante, or Small World Montessori in Richmond? Anything would be appreciated, thanks!
