Top 5 Preschool in Brentwood, 2026BusinessRate Awards
Where curious children become confident learners.
- Brentwood, California
- Ages 2 to 5
- Daily French
- Hands-on learning
A small, year-round preschool where children build strong foundations in reading, mathematics and science, cook and garden with their own hands, and learn French every day.
Our approach.
We believe the years from two to five are the most formative of a child’s life. Everything we do is built on four ideas.
-
Children here count real objects, cook real food and tend a real garden. Working with their hands is how new ideas become lasting understanding.
-
Reading, writing and mathematics are taught every day, in small groups, so that each child is known, challenged and supported.
-
Confidence, kindness, attention and the ability to speak up are taught as deliberately as letters and numbers. Families tell us these are the first changes they see.
-
Daily French, music, and studies that range from the solar system to the octopus give children a curiosity that reaches well beyond the classroom.
A curriculum with real breadth.
An original curriculum, developed by our director and inspired by the French approach to early education. Taught in small groups, every day.
A day at school.
A steady, predictable rhythm, from eight until five.

From our families.
“My son wasn’t even talking at age two years and half when he started school. Now he’s speaking English and French. It amazes me.”
“When my daughter left Ms. Siamer’s preschool class, she skipped right to 1st grade. I credit that to her being in this program.”
“He’s happy to clean his room now! He tells me about mammals and what colors yellow and blue make!”
