  What I like best about Greenwood School when thinking about longer term education for my young children is the progressive approach to learning. They take the long view. They focus on a love of learning, of giving the child academic stimulation coupled with an understanding of where that child is in his/her own development. The teachers at this school are the most engaging, thoughtful and knowledgable I've seen when it comes to teaching the whole child - not teaching to be tested. With all of the stress that comes with the responsibility of educating our children, I find it heartening that Greenwood delves deep into the actual learning, not the assessment part of learning. And it starts early. Greenwood School is by far the best preschool in Mill Valley. My children have thrived in the warm, inviting classroom. They literally come home singing about their day and teach me so I can sing with them. Personally, I found it odd at first to be a grown up singing a song about hand washing, but the ease with which my children navigate what they have to do with what they want to do is astounding. And if you have little ones, you know what I mean. Much like how the upper grade teachers assess where their class is developmentally and choose a curriculum that is best supported by that (i.e. during puberty and pre-puberty teaching about revolutions and fighting authority!) the preschool's "curriculum" similarly meets the needs of my little guys. So not only do my young kids get the nurturing environment of learning about how to integrate into schooling (which is a huge part of their early life) but I also get information on how to navigate the developmental milestones they face. Greenwood continues to develop this partnership with the parents as the children go through the grades. And I must say the community of Greenwood is great. The parent body is informed and engaged. It's like having a village to lean on when you need it and since we don't have immediate family readily available, knowing that my fellow parents at the school are there makes it easier.
