Check out Anne Sullivan Nursery School - they have extended care Kindergarten... and they are GREAT! If you're looking for a child centered environment where they understand not only the cognitive development of your child but mroe importantly the social and emotional development then this is your place! They are located on Mission Trail Rd, and they have a web site (can't remember the exact web address). But you'd better call and get a tour quick, cause they fill up fast (preschool anyway, I don't know about the waiting list for kindergarten). They are on the high end as far as cost goes, but if you can afford it then there's no price that isn't worth paying for your child, right? I had my son there until my husband lost his job, and even then they worked with me to lower the cost, offered me a job there (don't worry, I was more than qualified, they wouldn't just employ anyone)... anything to help out. The best word I can use to decribe their environment is PEACEFUL - and I think coming from a Montessori school, that's probably a priority to you! So check it out! :) Good luck!
