Our daughter just 'graduated' from her time at BMS and is now headed to Pre-K at The Carey School in San Mateo. Cannot begin to fully describe how much we have enjoyed having her at BMS for the past 2 years.

She started with them when she was 2 and a half after exhaustive research on our part. As an educator and Professor myself, both my husband and I are passionate about instilling a love of learning and on this front BMS did not disappoint. They have created such a calm, nurturing, stimulating learning environment. It is a very small school so I would encourage getting on the waitlist NOW. What I appreciated is that they were open to finding a schedule that was best for our daughter throughout and one that worked best for our family. We started out with MWF half days then did their summer programs and this past year MWF full days (8:30-3:30) and our daughter just loved every minute. We are sad to leave as they also have a very strong Pre-K program but we were encouraged to begin The Carey School as they have limited admissions as well.

The teachers at BMS and Ms. Lynette who runs the school, are truly passionate, professional and compassionate educators. Throughout the year we had parent-teacher conferences that were so personalized and in-depth I continue to be amazed at how they really are focused on each child's individual development. All of the supplementary teachers who came in for special classes, Ms. Anna (Spanish), Mr. Q (Music) and a host of several others were just wonderful as well. BMS pays attention to the details as well and there were numerous, thoughtful gatherings and feild trips that enriched the overall learning experience.

Bottom Line: Our 4 yr old daughter is leaving BMS this summer with a deep love of learning, a budding curiosity on a number of fronts given all she was exposed to, a great sense of independence and cooperation, and well on her way to reading by herself and doing kindergarten+ math. This is such a critical learning stage and we were passionate about the learning being fun and also social-emotional and BMS exceeded all our expectations.

We look forward to sending our son there as well when he is old enough.

This is such a tough decision for parents to make which is why I took the time to write such a lengthy review. I wholeheartedly recommend BMS to any family! - Cari G – (Yelp)
