Top 7 High School and Preschool in Novato, CA

Katia Bidaurreta I wholeheartedly endorse Noahs Ark Preschool as both my girls went through their program. The staff members are not only caring but also incredibly knowledgeable, fostering an environment where children can thrive. Communication is seamless - they send reminders of upcoming events and photos of the kids doing activities via an app almost on daily basis. It gave me peace of mind to see a pic of my 3-year-old among other kids having fun. The classrooms are consistently clean and well-organized. One aspect I particularly appreciate is their secure entry & exit system, ensuring safety for all. The well-structured curriculum played a pivotal role in preparing my kids for kindergarten, a testament to the schools dedication to quality education. For parents contemplating enrollment, I strongly encourage you to schedule a tour by calling the school. I am confident that, like me, you will find it to be an excellent choice for your childs early education.

Margaret Li This Christian organization Noah’s Ark preschool is being investigated by the Ca State Dept of Social Services for clearly demonstrating parental bias, parental alienation and failure to report child abuse. Despite providing the school administration our court order clearly identifying me the mother a legal guardian, their school officials directors Heather Freeman and Ruth Ann Newberry refused to provide me our daughter’s progress and school information for over 1 year. My daughter has been attending Noah’s Ark preschool since Aug 2022 and has failed to provide me any progress notes nor student information, attendance, health reports, etc. Noah’s Ark would make unethical and factually incorrect documentations against the mother at the request of the father whom has personal relations to Marin Christian Academy. Since our daughter began attending this school, she’s had an increase rate of infections and other ailments. Communications sent to the administration via email and Hi Mama app, was ignored and not responded to.

Jennifer Lew Our Family has been with Noahs Ark Preschool for the last 7 year with 2 kids that are 5 years apart. We love the school and the teachers they are loving, caring, and like family to us. Not only is the academic part of the preschool great they also have extended aftercare till 5:30pm. This has always been a great help for two working parents. I also want to say that the transition for both kids from preschool to Kindergarten has been great!

Eleni Katsaros Toured many preschools and found St. Francis to be the right fit for our child. While the school is not faith based we liked that the campus was at a church and tucked away. Immediately upon touring St. Francis we felt it was something special. It felt cozy and whimsical yet they offered structure and an established reputation. The staff are competent, caring, and enthusiastic about their work. We love our teachers so far and our kiddo is constantly doing things at school like art, cooking, and general play that support her current social and emotional skillsets. Definitely a great place to start your kiddos educational journey. We feel very lucky to be a part of the St. Francis community.
