Full Ranking Detail

Good Samaritan Preschool in Cupertino has operated continuously since 1985, serving infants through school age with a Christian curriculum emphasizing developmentally appropriate, hands-on learning. The center operates 7:00 AM–6:00 PM and maintains three Community Care License numbers across infant/toddler, preschool, and school-age programs. With 26 Yelp reviews and over 86% parent satisfaction, families consistently note its strong family-like environment. A notable limitation is the absence of NAEYC accreditation and the lack of independent Google review verification, making the faith-specific curriculum potentially less suitable for families seeking secular alternatives.
