About the Provider

Description:

Located at the border of Martinez and Pleasant Hill, Story Garden Preschool and Childcare is founded on the belief that children are hands-on learners who learn through the context of meaningful relationships. We provide full-day care for children ages 2 to 5 years from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday. With a focus on nature connection, imaginative play, and social-emotional growth, we aim to prepare children for their next stage in life while also keeping the joy and magic in childhood.

Our director and teacher, Melissa, has a degree in child development, over 10 years of teaching experience, and a credential in Parent Education. She has taught in various preschool centers throughout the Bay Area and also currently teaches parenting and anger management classes for MDUSD. Visit our website storygardenpreschool.com for more information and to book a tour.
