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.

Duveneck Elementary school has a reputation among local parents. The teachers are known for being top notch. There are many activities and techniques to keep the students of different ages engaged. Parents are highly encouraged to participate. Last I heard, a woman named Mrs. Maleen was the principal. She stresses how important involvement and comraderie are in a learning environment.

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.)

Gunn is a great high school located in a nice part of Palo Alto. This school is one of the best in the country, and the fourth or so best in the state. That's pretty impressive if you ask me. The academics there are great and the teachers are wonderful. Most of the grads get into awesome colleges, some even into Ivy's! I think one of the school's weaknesses, if there are any at all, is the campus. It is not quite as good as that of Palo Alto High School. However, it is still a terrific school!

"Very helpful. This Japanese tutoring method has helped my child gain a lot of confidence in math. Basic math operations, perhaps neglected in school, are drilled in this program.

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!

More
The Love n Care Christian Preschool and Daycare facility focuses on assisting children with learning concepts in the Bible and learning in general. They charge an arm and a leg here. And for that price, you would expect top notch care. There are some good lesson plans and activities. Although, a little improvement on dedicating more one on one time to each student would not hurt.

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.
