A Step Ahead

I was very picky about where my boy would go to preschoo, and fully endorse Julia and A Step Ahead.
My son has been attending there for a year. He’s a slow-​to-​warm, hesitant in new situations type, and Ms. Julia has created a strong bond with him. She’s very warm and loving, and does a great job of creating a safe, educational and fun environment for the kids.

My husband and I have been very happy with a Step Ahead. We have seen how much our 2.5 year old has thrived and grown. She comes home with new spanish words, and sings educational songs she’s learned and seems very happy to be there. She often say «I love Julia» (the preschool teacher).
Julia has been instrumental with helping us through the potty training process. It seemed daunting but with her guidance, it’s been much easier then expected.
We always appreciate how communicative Julia is and she is very direct and clear with how our daughter is doing and steps we may want to take. I also like that she is thoughtful with making sure our daughter has healthy meals and snacks and provides a weekly menu we can review.
All and all we have been very happy with A Step Ahead and feel like it’s been one of our best parenting decisions we’ve made for our daughter. I highly recommend this preschool.

I have known Julia since she came to the Bay Area and am pleased to be acquainted with her. As a generally cautious and careful parent I have met few people I can say I trust with my now 5 year old.
I know that Julia is very knowledgeable about child development and curriculums for young children, but beyond that her personality instills in me a sense of trust that is difficult to find. She not only has a huge heart and love of children, I also know her to exercise proper judgment at all times.
In a world of indifference and apathy, Julia is someone I can intrinsically trust with my child. I am very happy to know her, and proud to recommend her facility.
