We are very pleased with our son’s kindergarten journey at Challengers Middlefield school. The curriculum is excellent and has helped him develop strong reading skills, especially in English. He can now read complex words with confidence. He is a shy child by nature, but the teachers Miss Tamy and Miss Sharma have done a wonderful job nurturing his confidence. He now enjoys participating in group activities and performances without fear. We truly appreciate the teachers patience, encouragement, and commitment to every child’s growth. Highly recommend this school!

We’ve had a wonderful experience with the 3-year-old program at Challenger Middlefield. Ms Rebekkah, Miss Namita and other preschool teachers are kind, patient, and truly understand how to support children at this age. The classroom is warm, engaging, and structured in a way that helps the children feel safe while encouraging independence and curiosity. The program offers a great balance of play, learning, and social development. My child has made so much progress with skills, routines, and self reliance. We especially appreciate Miss Sharon, the director, who is supportive, approachable, and clearly dedicated to creating a positive environment for both the children and families. Her leadership truly shows in the quality of the program. She also creates a very fun and real world learning experience with all her special events and decorations. We highly recommend this program to any family looking for a nurturing and positive preschool environment.

We are incredibly happy with our experience at Challenger School in Palo Alto. Our son is thriving here, and we have been consistently impressed by the balance of strong academics and character development. The school excels in maintaining high standards for discipline and academics, but they also do a wonderful job with sports, art, and extracurriculars to ensure the kids have a well-rounded experience. A huge shout-out to the Program Director, Ms. Madhavi, and the class teachers Ms. Markaj, Ms. Vasquez, Ms. Arjun and Ms. Srivastava for their dedication and hard work. They, along with so many other teachers and staff members, go above and beyond to support the students. We highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a structured and nurturing environment!

Thank you for creating such a positive and inspiring learning environment!
