Oakland Garden School or Children's Workshop
Hey Caregivers,
Does anyone have experience at either of these schools? Just trying to get a sense of more recent experiences.

We've been at Children's Workshop Oakland (CWO) for a little over a year now and both my kiddo and I LOVE it. Our son is almost always happy to go to school—he is a toddler after all!— and that just wasn't the case at our last school. They have a great balance of instruction, independent play, and outside time. My husband and I are always amazed by the random facts our son throws out. They've learned about the human body, space, the ocean, animals, and nature and he's really retained so much of it. The teachers and director are amazing, so kind, loving, and attentive. They are responsive to emails and texts and address parental concerns in a fair manner. They have done a fantastic job keeping our community safe since reopening in July 2020 and we've felt very comfortable there throughout the pandemic. We feel very fortunate to have found a home there. I haven't looked at Oakland Garden School so I can't say how they compare. But we've been very pleased with the CWO experience.
We're currently at CW and are really happy. We just started. Hadn't heard of OGS but also sounds great.
