St. Andrews Newday Preschool

Parents searching for a good preschool/​day care in Stockton — NewDay is one of your better options in town. Our son attended since he was 2 years old and in his time there I can’t recall a single bad experience.
The teachers keep the kids on task during class time and have their agenda’s posted for parents to see every week. The staff here are all excellent with the kids. It’s nice that staff are available for early drop off and late pick up and the kids are kept busy with activities — not just running around the entire time ready to have a meltdown when you finally show up after your work day.
The outside play area is large, well kept, and has a huge shade tree which makes all the difference during summer.
There is some bible time each week, but the church aspect is not pushed on the kids toooo hard — in fact we’re atheists but don’t mind our kids having some exposure to religion… when they’re old enough they can make their own decisions about it. I don’t think their Mom or I have ever been asked about attending church there. I’m sure they’re blissfully unaware of our atheist beliefs :)
Pricing is *very* fair (better than many other options in town) although there are some mandatory «fund raisers» a couple times a year, but nothing extreme and it’s always something for your money.
We had our choice to go to another highly regarded school in Stockton, we liked what we saw at NewDay and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did. NewDay deserves much more praise here.

This preschool is the best of the best. We were so happy with our experience with Newday. Staff, director, curriculum, all of it is wonderful. The greatest staff ever, and they make each child feel so special. Can’t say enough awesome things about the school. Would highly recommend.

Two of our three kids attended Newday, and if it weren’t for our recent move away from Stockton, all three would have been alums. We love Miss Becky and Miss Lori. And they love our kids.
My kids remind us to pray before meals as they learned in school and that is worth so much. They always come home happy with beautiful projects.
2010’s summer session was quite different from a few years ago, not as pleased with it this time, but my daughter still had fun.
