Our family is so grateful to have found Berkeley Hills Nursery School. We searched for a place that we could all feel at home, and we certainly found it. My daughter adores her teachers, fellow students, and the overall atmosphere of the school. She literally runs out the door every morning.

BHNS has such a great balance of free play and more structured projects. I love getting the daily reports everyday where I can see all the fun activities my daughter enjoys: yoga, making pizza, learning Spanish, creating books, self-portraits, etc.

The school’s director, Kathleen, does an amazing job keeping everything running smoothly, and we always feel very updated on our daughter’s progress. She has also made us feel very comfortable sending our daughter to school during COVID. The safety precautions they take are the best I’ve seen around for a preschool. The admissions process for the school was also quite low stress, which was a huge plus for our busy family.

BHNS has become like a second home for us, even in just the last few months. We feel very much a part of a warm community, which is a huge plus for us as a family that is new to Berkeley. I’m so grateful we found this wonderful gem of a school for our daughter.
