We’re one of the first campuses Barbara B. Baker opened when she started Challenger School, and we still have that nostalgic country atmosphere. With our shady playground, long-term teachers, and low student/teacher ratio, Challenger’s Saratoga private school offers a traditional school experience that is hard to find in this modern age of distractions.

My 4-year-old son is not a native English speaker and is very shy, so it has taken him longer to adjust to a new environment. The teachers in his class have shown tremendous patience and have supported him throughout his transition. They help him finish his lunch independently, comfort him when he feels upset during nap time, and gently encourage him to express himself. The directors are also very supportive and approachable. I had the opportunity to meet with the director one-on-one, and through our conversation I gained a much deeper understanding of my son’s daily life at Challenger and learned how I can better support his growth at home. This campus truly feels like a family—safe, nurturing, and warm. I’m very grateful for the care my son receives here.

Our little one has been attending the Challenger Saratoga Cox Avenue campus for preschool and now pre-K, and we’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences. The teachers, Ms. Tulika, Ms. Supriya, and Ms. Suchitra are warm, welcoming, and incredibly caring, and the Head of School, Ms. Carie, is truly one of the best in the Bay Area. The office staff, especially Ms. Victoria, along with the rest of the non-teaching team, create a nurturing, protective, and friendly environment that makes this school a real gem. Overall, our child has thrived here, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a preschool or kindergarten in the area!

Our son started going to Challenger Saratoga location last August and it has been an incredible journey. We saw our son learn and grow a lot. We highly recommend the school to all parents wanting an all around growth for their children. Thank you for taking such good care of him!

Our daughter started her Challenger Saratoga journey this January, joining only the second half of the preschool year. Coming in with limited English and no prior English preschool experience, we knew it wouldn’t be an easy start. But thanks to the patience, dedication, and care of the teachers and staff, her transition was smoother than we could have hoped for. Today, she proudly calls herself a Challenger student and has made many new friends along the way. We are truly grateful for the team’s support and the positive environment they’ve created. It’s been amazing to watch her confidence and language skills blossom in just a few months. Huge thanks to the Challenger Saratoga team—you’ve made a lasting impact on our little one (and her proud parents)!

This campus may be small, but the staff members are exceptional. You can tell they love what they do, because it shows every single day. Saratoga team - we are truly grateful for the love and care you provide for our family. Thank you!
