Color Me Children Preschool & Kindergarten

My daughter has been attending this preschool for over 2 years now, and I have to say it has been one of the most positive experiences for her.
The staff are really friendly and involved in the kids and the focus in learning through fun has really worked for her.
The school itself is medium sized so while its not too small like a family day care, neither is it too big that your child can get lost. It would excellent for children with alot of potential who need a place just like home to grow.
The preschool and yard area in itself is very neat and clean and is so maintained always. The preschool emphasizes that the kids eat home cooked lunch 4 days of the week which I think is wonderful.
The school is quite conscious of diversity and respects children and families from different backgrounds. They work the curriculum to suit different kid’s needs and yet they encourage all the kids to aim to achieve their maximum age appropriate potential.
Through fun and learning this preschool has taught my child interesting facts from history to geography, science to live skills apart from the usual math and english that most preschools focus on
The cost are very reasonable and they quite a few options of part time to a few days a week that work with different family needs and budgets.
I would totally recommend you check this school out and talk with Ms Angela the Director and decide for yourself if this place works for you and your family

Finding a preschool in Berkeley is tough.
I started one of my children at this preschool last year. He has attended Color Me Children’s Preschool (CMC) in Berkeley for almost a year. CMC teachers are Angela, Nancy, and Aisha and also has a large Oakland site.
These are the things I love about this school:
Breakfast every day — included in tuition!
Lessons in English, Spanish and Sign Language.
He has learned how to complete age appropriate worksheets and we have learned the habit of homework and preparing return assignments for school.
Many field trips utilizing public transportation.
He has learned social skills, playground safety, and has enjoyed their organized and clean yard and school.
School pictures done on site — 4 so far (including one of him on a pony and one in graduation garb)
Graduation ceremonies that were adorable and meaningful.
I feel his experience is much like leaving him with family. He is cared for, loved, and has been enriched and prepared for kindergarten. His best interest is always considered. Communication is clear and kind to parents and children.
Once my son was chided for his rambunctious behavior at school, now he is applauded for his playful activity and friendly attitude. I had began to believe that my son had a behavioral problem — now he thrives with other children and has made good friends. He is truly kindergarten ready.
Prices are very reasonable — almost ½ of a famous co-​op in Berkeley. Family commitment to fund raising and administrative help is minimal but necessary to keeps costs low.
Please check out this school for yourself. It may be the right school for your family too.
