Helen Diller Family Preschool

"From the moment we joined Diller, we knew we found something special. The teachers are extraordinary — nurturing, experienced, and truly devoted to each child's journey. In small, loving classrooms, our children’s confidence and love of learning blossomed. When it came time for Kindergarten, we felt the full weight of the community behind us. From one-on-one guidance with Karla to knowledgeable panels, fairs, and heartfelt conversations with alumni families, the Diller community made every step feel personal, supported, and full of joy.”

“Having Karla as our guide throughout the kindergarten process was an absolute jackpot. From the first presentation to the final “Congratulations” letter from our first-choice school, Karla was everything – a consultant, a guide, a guru, and even a bit of a second mom. I can still hear her voice reassuring me, “I get kids into their first or second choice.” And she does. I trusted her completely. Our 1:1 meetings were informative and personal. Karla truly knew us – not just our child, but our whole family – and helped us narrow down the best options. She guided us on what to focus on so that our son could be confident and successful during assessments and playdates, and she prepared us as parents for our interviews. Luca’s teachers are warm, caring, and deeply committed educators. Thanks to the small class sizes and long-standing teacher tenure, each child receives the individual attention they need to thrive. We’ve seen firsthand how this has helped our son grow emotionally, socially, and academically.”

"Thanks to the Diller program, we could not have been better prepared for the kinder discovery and admissions process. Diller teachers have a long tenure and know exactly the preparation children need to succeed in kinder. Furthermore, small student teacher ratio allows them to work with the children both individually and in groups to craft play based experiences that foster the practice of kinder skills. Karla has an impressive depth of experience with both public and private schools and was able to distill the process and potential options to us that were tailored both to our son and to our family’s needs. Equally important in the kinder process was the broader Diller community. Parents of Diller alumni were eager to connect to discuss their experience in a given school setting and to advocate for our family. We got into both of our top choice schools despite stiff competition that year."
