Gem of a preschool that most parents are unaware of. Teacher June has been running this school for a while and is always in control. Our son really enjoyed going there and we're now looking forward to sending our daughter there as well. - P.V.
My daughter LOVES this school! She asks to go to Petite Sorbonne Preschool even on the weekends! The teachers are super nice and have kids attending or that have attended in the past so they understand all the antics of kids! Each teacher is wonderful and easy to get along with or talk to and have been at the school for a long time, I love a low turnover! I also love that the school is clean and bright and the children all like being there which is a very important aspect of a great school. This school with its great caring staff is my all time favorite. The day we walked in to view the school, my daughter did not want to leave. Not once have I wished I picked a different school!
I highly recommend Petite Sorbonne. - A.S.
My son went to PSP a few years back, and he thrived. My daughter, who is 3yo, was in a home daycare that was closing, and she was not yet toilet trained, so I enrolled her in a different local preschool since PSP requires toilet-trained kids. Big mistake!! I enrolled her in PSP this week, and I immediately remembered why I love it there. Each kid gets lots of personal attention. When I picked my daughter up at the end of the first day, Teacher June came right up to me and gave me a full report with details. I know already that PSP was the right decision -- my daughter is in excellent hands. And my son, who is now 8yo, still loves Teacher June! That speaks volumes. Thanks Teachers June and Teacher Vanessa! -V.P.
Our daughter has been here for over a year now and we LOVE it. The teachers are great and the outdoor play space is big and safe. Teacher June and Teacher Vanessa have been running the show for years and years with NO teacher turnover. Our daughter is thriving and happy. I was at a birthday party once with over 30 preschoolers and one of the moms said to me, "I can always tell the Petite Sorbonne kids from the non-Petite Sorbonne kids. Our kids are the ones that are well behaved." And it's true --- June and Vanessa are teaching the kids to be kind, respectful, and good human beings. There is some montessori overlap I think but it is a play based preschool and I like that it's not rigid like montessori but still has some montessori values. Fantastic -- and totally reasonably priced, which is a bonus.
We continue to love this school. The consistent staff presence offers peace of mind to parents, and Teacher June and Teacher Vanessa are gems. The outdoor playground is large and inviting, they do so much art my walls cannot keep up, and they provide home-cooked meals at lunchtime, and snacks in the am/pm. You won't find a better environment for your little one. -A.S.
My 4 year old has been here for 1 1/2 years and loves it! The staff are professional and experienced yet are like family. They are flexible and get to know each child. It is a small school so individual needs are seen to. My youngest daughter will start soon and she can't wait! -K.P.
My son attended PSP for 3 years and my daughter goes there now. I looked at every preschool within 30 minutes of San Mateo and just had the best feeing about PSP. The teachers are very experienced and all have been there for some time, they are all fantastic with the kids. The owner and head teacher June is loving and great with both the kids and parents. They do a great job of preparing the children for Kindergarten, but they also do a lot of playing and let the kids be kids. The school is in an old San Mateo home and does not have an institutional feel at all - that was very important to me. All in all this is a great preschool, check it out - you'll be glad you did. -M.H.
