Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
I believe that the teachers and dedicated to the children's well-being and they provide a lovable and nurturing day for all the children. We try to teach the children independence so they can be successful in their future school years.
Parents' Comments

I have had my 2 year old son in the school for 5 months and he has had a great experience there. Really good care and supervision as well as he is learning to count and his alphabet. Parking is the only drawback.
Parent #2
All of the classes and teachers were very well done with a lot of individual attention to special growth areas we identified for our boys.
In particular I really liked how the teacher ran the kindergardners. The program was structured and geared to meet the expectations of the MUSD school district. The program was flexible enough that any areas that the kids were really interested in could be fit into the curriculum to enhance their curiosity. Additionally, based on the kids energy level the formal classes could be, and often were, continued into the afternoon. Both my boys left Foothill with basic skills such as math and reading far in advance of MUSD expectations and at least 2 grade levels ahead of their peers.
An excellent learning environment that takes into consideration children's needs and wants, but parents expectations as well.
