My daughter went there from 2yrs to 12 years and loved every activity they had. Now my son loves it. He is 7 years old now and has been there since 2yrs and without Peninsula he would be sad. We take a week vacation and he can't wait to get back to there to see all of his friends and all of the fun games and activities. Summer is especially fantastic. It is worth every dime.

The Klutz store mainly sells their own brand, Klutz. Some of the baby stuff that theu have is pretty cute. The quality is nice, although it really depends on what you are buying, some things are better than others. The prices here can get pretty high so be ready for your wallet to lose its friendly weight. Its located in kinda of a busy place so during the hustle and bustle hours of the day you might have to find parking a block or two away from the store.

My husband and I often go to Stanford on the weekends to walk around the campus, play chess, or play the piano in the music room. It is such a beatiful campus with alot of nooks and cranny to explore. Wonderful place to hang out and they often have fun events that are open to the public. This university is a great asset to the bay area. Also their bookstore is wonderful. Very well organized and fun to explore.

this yoga studio is fantastic and the reality is it's the most reasonably priced. it has a large variety of classes to choose from, and I almost always see at least one instructor in the class I'm taking (read: the instructors don't just stand there and tell you what to do, they practice what they preach). for students the price is only like $9 a class, pretty unheard of in this area, esp for a place with this high of quality

More
My son has some behavior issues and developmental delays and after years in private therapies and therapy through the school district, I made the decision that not having a comprehensive evaluation (instead of Occupational Therapy evaluation and Speech therapy evaluations in a vacuum). I have friends who have gone through this process and they recommended CHC without hesitation. I left a message and within a few hours, they called me back and walked me through what I needed to do to get my son the evaluations and later, services he needed.
They have an integrated Speech and OT group, a social skills group and other services. And they work on a sliding scale, which was important to me, because finances had previously held me back from getting the services my son needed.

Castilleja is a wonderful high school for girls! Not only does it do a great job preparing students for college, they have terrific extracurricular activities. This is a top-rated school, so if you live in the area, you should definitely try hard to get your child in! Because trust me, if they get into an Ivy League school because they went here, you know it will be worth your troubles. It costs as much as private univiersities though to attend.

The Palo Alto Gamescape has been around since forever. It's a great place to get your game fix. From strategy to board games to puzzles and all the rest. Unfortunately, it looks like the owner may be closing down this location at the end of the summer. The good news is that they're having a fire sale of their existing inventory. (They'll even order requests and sell those at a discount for some reason.)

The entire guidance staff at Palo Alto High treated our family with such kindness when our son transferred to the school. Everyone was wonderful -- especially Susan Schultz who is an angel.

Jordan Middle School is a truly wonderful located in a great part of Palo Alto. Not only does this school have wonderful academics, the teachers are very helpful and willing to help the students. The students, in return, try very hard to succeed and because of this, this is a very good school. The campus is very nice and can compare to that of a private school. Additionally, this school has a pool that students use for Physical Education. This school is big compared to other middle schools. I definitely recommend this school if you live in the area!
