Step Ahead Learning Center Lucas daycare - Walnut Creek, California

We are thrilled to have enrolled our 4-year-old daughter at Crawlers 2 Scholars, a hidden gem! The teachers at this daycare are incredibly kind and nurturing. One of the things that impresses us the most is that they always have educational activities planned for the children. Additionally, they go the extra mile by regularly sending us photos of our kids participating in these activities. It's evident that they prioritize engagement and learning over just letting the kids play outside all day, which sets them apart from other daycares. Our daughter has made numerous friends and is truly happy to be a part of this community. The cleanliness of the facility is also noteworthy, and we appreciate that they offer convenient opening hours from 7 am to 6 pm. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Crawlers 2 Scholars to everyone seeking a top-notch daycare experience.

Crawlers to Scholars Daycare is fantastic! The staff is caring and playful, creating a warm and welcoming environment for the kids. They communicate well with parents and always keep us informed. Each week, they send out meal plans and lesson plans, so we know exactly what our children will be eating and learning. I trust them completely and was so impressed with their care for my first child that I enrolled my 6 month old child there as well when I returned to work. Highly recommend!

We have had two kids at Crawlers 2 Scholars for the past year and we could not be more pleased with our time there. The teachers and director have been kind and patient and absolutely wonderful with our kids. My eldest son, who is now off to Kindergarten, started school very shy and to himself and hated going to school, with the help of his teachers, he is now very open, communicative, and loves getting up and going in every day. On top of that, he went from too scared to try to read or write or do anything new, now he loves to read, write and just take on new experiences or tasks. I credit this growth to his teachers who have meant the world to him.
All in all I strongly recommend this school to anyone who is looking. Such a fun and loving community.

This is the best place we've found for our son. After trying several other preschools, we are thrilled with our choice. They offer a wide range of activities throughout the day, including plenty of outdoor play with bicycles and scooters, as well as fun themed days. My son enjoys every moment here and is always happy. The teachers are incredibly warm and kind, creating a wonderful environment for the children.

My almost 3 year old has been coming here for at least 6 months and we love it here. She has made so many friends and loves tracing her letters, doing imaginative play, and playing on the playground. The staff has been wonderful and are very communicative, with emails and updates. It’s a super open door policy (metaphorically speaking as the doors are secured entry and always locked) and I’ve never had a hard time asking questions/getting answers. They are also very flexible with in/out times which has made it really easy to adjust for appointments or events. We sadly have to move and I’m actually finding myself getting a little choked up since our daughter has just made her first best friends and loves her teachers. This was a great first time preschool/daycare experience for us and if we were staying in the area we would’ve continued until kindergarten.

Our family has been coming to Crawlers 2 Scholars (formerly Step Ahead Learning Center) since 2016 and we have had a great experience. Ms. Katy, Ms. Kim and the rest of the team are wonderful and treat the students like family. Love the new app the team is using so we are able to see pictures of what our children are doing throughout the day. We are going to miss everyone once our youngest graduates!

++ For commuters, C2S is conveniently located across from the Pleasant Hill BART station.

We've been at Crawlers 2 Scholars from 3-5 years old. This was the first school we looked at when we moved to Concord and fell in love right away. The curriculum encourages play, but my child learned so much more. He practices handwriting daily, motor skills like using scissors and coloring. Every week is a new subject where he has learned so much. They had a nurse, fire fighter and dentist come talk to the kids about their jobs. I've had amazing communication and support from ALL of the staff. They feed the kids healthy lunches and snacks, and if my child gets hurt, they notify me right away. We will miss them so much when we go to Kindergarten. They have truly become part of the family.
