What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

The learning environment at Challenger School is top-notch, and we’ve seen so much growth in our daughter. Huge shoutout to Ms. Datta and Ms. Taggarsi! They are incredible kindergarten teachers who truly give each child personal attention. My daughter transferred to this campus and bonded with them immediately. I’m especially impressed by how much she loves her schoolwork and homework now, the way they teach clearly makes learning fun for her. They strike that perfect balance of being firm and disciplined while still being super nurturing. We feel so lucky to have such special teachers!
Ruchika SatalkarMay 7, 2026Challenger Strawberry Park has been a wonderful experience for our family. Always felt a strong sense of community.. the teachers, staff, and leadership genuinely care about the children and families. Most importantly, our child feels happy, safe, and excited to go to school
Prachi TambeJan 17, 2026Incredible education and character building. My son graduated from Challenger Strawberry Park this spring after eight years with the program. He's now at Bellarmine (got in to all his high schools, BTW) and finding it a very comfortable fit, academically and socially. Challenger contributed a lot to his development as a person, and looking back now at the arc of the whole experience, I conclude it is all that one could hope for. Not a single complaint about a single teacher -- they are all top-notch -- knowledgeable, exemplary, and caring. The new headmaster is wonderful and I appreciate what she is doing for the program and kids. Important work. Highly recommend.
david s.Aug 20, 2025My son attended the half-day Pre-K program here and loved it so much! Before coming, he had never been to daycare or preschool and didn’t speak any English, so we were a bit nervous at first. But the teachers — especially Ms. Smitha were incredibly caring, patient, and encouraging, helping him adjust quickly and making him feel safe and happy every day. Over the year, he learned so much — not only academically, but also in English, social skills, and confidence. This fall he will be moving on to Kindergarten, and while we’re excited for the next chapter, he will truly miss his teachers and this wonderful school. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done for him！
Yiyue ZhangAug 15, 2025Ms. Smitha is a fantastic teacher! My son attended the half-day Pre-K program and absolutely loved it. The program itself is well-structured and very helpful—it gave him a strong foundation and made the transition to kindergarten smooth and successful.
eric xingAug 15, 2025My older son attended Challenger School for four years, I enrolled my younger one here this year. I can confidently say it's the best choice I've made for him in the Bay Area. We've experienced other private and public schools, but Challenger is the best. The teachers are truly amazing, and the school's approach to learning is fantastic. They consistently distributed books month to month and even provided free yearbooks, which was a lovely touch. What I particularly appreciated was that parents were never bothered with tons of volunteer work, which made things much easier. Before Challenger, my son felt bored and lacked motivation in a well-rated public school. However, Challenger's learning and awarding styles completely transformed his perspective. He became genuinely engaged and motivated to learn. Thank you, Challenger strawberry Park.
