This is a top-quality pre-school with a committed, loving staff and one of the highest teacher-to-student ratios of any pre-school in the city. Russian Hill School is known for its innovative and arts-based teaching approach. My son was transformed both socially and cognitively once he started here; the teachers pay very close attention to his development and give him the coaching and support he needs. He loves his teachers and classmates. The community of parents is very tight-knit and involved. And the kindergarden acceptances are great!
