Please please don't choose Challenge Palo Alto, unless your kid needs nothing from school: no need teacher help, no need teacher's comfort. Even as an adult, I feel the teacher and stuff there are too cold, not even mention a 3 years old.I admit that their phonics is famous, but first of first is: you need to make kid happy, and happy to learn. They train kid like train dog, always use order language. Not allow kid to cry, for whatever reason. Not allow any accident, all kids' fault.

The preschool director is totally OVERconfident. I sent my son there last year and she didn't want to listen to anything you said and think she knew everything, in fact, she has no idea nor she cares! As long as she has the control to play the game. It seemed she keeps a close relationship with certain teacher but she didn't care the student at all. I sent my son to public school this year so I can stop wasting my money.

I have had my child at the school for 2 years now and could not be happier. They teach self-discipline, outstanding academics, and the after school programs are fun.
