Challenge School, Fashion Island Blvd

I love going to challenge school. My teachers and classmates are very nice. Challenge has fun activities and games. It is very fun!

I sent my daughter to challenge san mateo campus, she's having tons of fun in the caterpillar class, i can see her grow so much in the past year. What i like about challenge are: 1) great teacher: student ratio - 7 to 25 students; 2) all the teachers are so responsible and caring, constantly provide feedbacks, and my kid love all of them; 3) lots of traditional chinese holiday celebrations help the kids get to know the culture
Highly recommend challenge to every kids

Kids had a wonderful time at summer camp learning how to cook and doing science experiments!

My children attend the preschool, after-school, and enrichment programs. I highly recommend this school for the following reasons:
1. NAEYC accreditation
2. WASC accreditation Chinese curriculum - My children are fluent in Chinese though no one at home speaks it to them.
3. Cleanliness - The school is thoroughly cleaned every day after the school is closed.
4. Teachers - They are some of the nicest, most caring people I've ever met. I trust them to care for my children.
5. Convenience of the after-school program - They will pick up your child from some of the local elementary schools and will alert you through an app. Though pick-up requires at least 2 children from the same school to attend the after-school program. Enrichment programs are available on-site through the after-school program for additional costs.

Our daughter just graduated from the Butterfly class of Challenge School. She attended from 4-5 years old. She had an amazing experience at Challenge, in particular thanks to her great teachers Teacher Hanan and Teacher Francis, and the rest of the staff who work with the kids. Before Challenge, our daughter was quiet, lacked confidence and social skills, and was uncomfortable with Chinese/Mandarin. After attending Butterfly class in Challenge, we have seen her confidence soar, she has grown holistically, and she looks forward to school every single day. Even on weekends, she wishes that she could go to school. THANK YOU Teacher Hanan and Teacher Francis for your love and care towards the students, they truly learnt so much from you. In fact, my daughter loves her teachers so much, she has decided she wants to be a teacher when she grows up! No one in our family has any teacher background, so this is testament to the positive experience she has had from Teachers Hanan and Francis this year. Last thing I'll mention is that Teacher Evaluation / Parent Conference sessions were thorough and demonstrated a lot of attentiveness the teachers had towards each student. They were able to identify specific traits and anecdotes for our daughter, which made us feel like they really understood her and paid attention to her.

My daughter just graduated from preschool with loads of beautiful memories. She had a great experience at the Challenge School during her two years. (Ladybug and butterfly class). The Challenge School have provided a positive and enriching environment for our daughter's early education. Teacher Hannan and Teacher Frances were great teachers who took care of and nurtured the children in the butterfly class. I would also like to Thank Teacher Elsa and Rommeh for their love, care and support. Having teachers who genuinely care about their students' well-being and growth creates a positive and supportive learning environment. It's essential for young children to feel safe, loved, and valued in their classrooms.

Highly recommend Challenge which takes care of kids with lots of caring, patience and encouragement, as well as opportunities for kids to learn bilingual.

Preschool here is structured and well organized. Kids get a good balance of curriculum and play. Challenge organizes numerous social and performance events throughout the year, which we've always enjoyed. The afterschool program offers many high quality enrichment classes. Challenge also provides camps whenever regular school is closed or on break, making it convenient for working parents.

My oldest child has been attending Challenge for six years and my younger for three. They’ve had an excellent experience, with involved and caring teachers and a strong academic foundation. They can now speak Mandarin conversationally and the older child is able to read and write. They’ve also gotten a strong head start in math, while making good friends that have lasted the entire time.
