School Reviews
5 5/27/2019
We had an inferior experience at Casa dei Bambini. Found it difficult to assess the school since they don't allow the parents to observe their children in the classroom prior to enrollment. We nonetheless enrolled based on the tour we took ourselves, but when it came time to experience our child in the classroom we determined that this was not the place for her. I recommend that everyone insist on being able to watch your child in the actual environment and engaging with the teachers before you commit to enrollment (and the commitment of sizeable tuition fees). Our child is now at a terrific preschool and we have confidence it is the right place.

Casablanca Dei Bambini in Menlo Park has been a wonderful experience for my Granddaughter. She now counts in three languages and she is not yet three! She has learned confididence, manners, and more! A wonderful, loving, staff! I would recommend this school to all parents.

My daughter attends Casa Dei Bambini and she absolutely loves it! The wide range of programs and activities that are done on a daily basis are great. They provide a wonderful balance of work, play and discovery. She comes home singing new songs that she learns and every Friday she is sent home with a folder full of the beautiful arts and crafts that she has created all week. I have noticed since she started school she tries to do everything herself and has become very independent and self sufficient. The school facilities are clean, beautiful and peaceful. The staff are incredibly nurturing and I can tell they truly care about the children.

This is an amazing pre-school. The teachers are wonderfully nutruing and the children really gain a love of learning and how to be respectful of the world we live in.
