<![CDATA[Press Release Submission and Distribution Services | Press Release Power]]> en Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:47:27 +0600 <![CDATA[Learn & Play Montessori Announces New Post on Private Preschool Advantages in Fremont California]]>  Learn and Play Montessori, a best-in-class preschool and kindergarten program in Fremont, Danville, and Dublin, is proud to announce a new post on the advantages of private preschools over public preschool and kindergarten options. Many parents are finding that the limited hours of public preschool and kindergarten, in particular, are motivating parents to explore private options for their children's education.

"We are proud of the public preschools and kindergartens in our community, but the limited hours may not work for all working parents," explained Harpreet Grewal, director of Learn and Play Montessori. "Our parents find that they can explore private preschool and kindergarten options as in many cases these are cost-competitive to combining public education with private after-school programs."

Persons who want to read more can visit the post at https://www.learnandplaymontessori.com/blog/difficult. That post digs into the challenges posed by the limited hours of public preschools in Fremont. Busy, working parents can find that the extremely limited hours both during the day and seasonally can be a huge challenge. For example, public preschools do not stay open until five or six p.m., when working parents need to have childcare due to work. Similarly, public preschools close for many more holidays than private preschools, including for very long summer breaks. Finally, combining public preschools or kindergartens with paid after-school care can be more expensive than going with a fully private program. 

Indeed, those who want online options can visit https://www.learnandplaymontessori.com/online-learning. That page explains how the online program works and has links to the daily Facebook live videos plus the YouTube channel. Many content options are available at no charge; others become available once a parent signs his or her child up. Another very exciting option is the South Fremont preschool page as that program also offers a South Fremont kindergarten program.

Crystal Learning, a group of language schools in Singapore, has opened Singapore's first dedicated, professionally managed Thai Language school - Sawadee Thai.

 

Emphasis will be on "conversation" - being able to speak fast is given priority over grammar. Class sizes are kept strictly limited to 8 people, and courses are eligible for SkillsFuture credits, meaning adult Singaporeans can join without spending any cash!

 

"Learning Thai is becoming more popular in Singapore," said business founder Alex Lim. "Its culture is attractive, and it has always been a popular holiday destination. The school will help encourage our Thai language learners to build positive social and business relationships across cultures."

 

Learning a new language such as Thai educates your mind and opens you to the possibility of getting to know new people with different perspectives. "Our lessons aren't an academic pursuit, but you will be able to learn Thai faster and better through our small group classes.

 

The school offers a free trial lesson to those interested in taking up Thai and courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced students.

 

Since 2011, Crystal Learning has trained numerous top professionals, both foreign and local, from Fortune 500 companies in Singapore.

US News says it assessed nearly 24,000 schools for its 2021 rankings, and numerically ranked approximately 17,000 schools.

NATIONAL STEM RANKINGS 
BASIS Charter Schools comprise three of the top ten and six of the top twenty STEM campuses nationally – unmatched by any other district or network in the United States. STEM rankings assess student success by school in science, technology, engineering, and math courses.

"The STEM rankings are again U.S. News & World Report's best pure measure of college readiness," said BASIS Educational Ventures CEO Dr. Peter Bezanson. "STEM ranks are as close to assessment based on college prep as US News now gets, and our lofty STEM rankings – which, remarkably, improved from 2020 -- are the strongest possible mark of our continued excellence at readying students for college success."

The network's three national top ten STEM schools are #4 BASIS Chandler, #7 BASIS Scottsdale, and #8 BASIS Peoria.
BASIS Oro Valley is #11, BASIS Phoenix is #18, and BASIS Tucson North is #20, with BASIS Ahwatukee at #26 -- making its first appearance on the list of top STEM campuses nationwide.

US NEWS' METHODOLOGY and BASIS' COLLEGE READINESS

2021 is the third straight year that the BASIS Charter Schools network had an unprecedented number of campuses ranked this highly on the national STEM rankings, the national rankings overall, and the national charter rankings, despite the shifted U.S News & World Report methodology.

Through 2018, US News ranked fewer than 3,000 schools per year; it has since considered more than 24,000 schools each year, including 2021.

US News has stated that its rankings before 2019 were "based solely on college readiness" – a measure precisely aligned with the BASIS Charter School Curriculum's college prep focus.

With its huge change in 2019, US News wrote that it implemented a "comprehensive ranking methodology which reflects how well high schools serve all students, not just those planning to go to college."

"Despite the change, we're still showing up incredibly well in these rankings, and college readiness is still the most vital aspect of what we do. It's the unwavering goal of our K-12 program," Dr. Bezanson said. "The shine is on our students and teachers yet again, because their schools' rankings in this still-new methodology are fantastic."

Indeed, if US News used its old methodology – which ranked schools on the ability to prepare students for performance in college – our analysis indicates that BASIS Charter Schools would have five of the top six schools in the entire nation -- and nine of the top 20 schools in the U.S.

In fact, in the final years before the methodology change, BASIS swept the national rankings, including having the #1 through #5 national schools in 2018, the final year of US News' college prep-based rankings, and the #1, #2, and #3 ranked national schools in 2017.



NATIONAL CHARTER SCHOOL RANKINGS

BASIS Chandler is the best charter school in America for the second straight year.
Four of the top five charters nationally, seven of the top ten, and nine of the top 25, are BASIS Charter Schools, including BASIS Mesa, in its highest ever ranking – the #11 charter in the U.S.
BASIS San Antonio – Shavano is the 25th ranked charter school in the U.S., its second straight year among America's top 25. It is also the second highest ranked charter school in the state of Texas.
BASIS has the eight best charter schools in Arizona.

"The charter school rankings are once again truly astounding," said David Hubalik, BASIS.ed's Senior VP of Charter Schools. "The national charter rankings are meaningful to our teachers and staff, especially given the circumstances of the past year. They're meaningful to our students and their families too, of course, as they're the ones who choose a charter school education, and by choosing us, they chose the best charter school network in the U.S., at least according to U.S. News & World Report!"

ARIZONA STATE RANKINGS

BASIS Chandler is the #1 school (charter or otherwise) in Arizona for the second consecutive year.
BASIS Charter Schools comprise four of the state's top five campuses, and eight of Arizona's top ten schools of any type.
"We're a network of schools across the country, but we started with a single campus in Arizona in 1998, so it's significant to have eight of the top ten campuses in our home state," Hubalik said.

Three BASIS Charter Schools – BASIS Flagstaff, BASIS Goodyear, and BASIS Prescott – were not eligible for full ranking consideration due to data errors at the state or national level.

“These are obviously unprecedented times for everyone, but especially in the education industry,” said Falcon. “It is unfortunate that Step Up For Students had to make the tough decision to shut down the TLE service, but we’re hoping we can help many of these schools continue operations with minimal disruption.”

Special services are being provided for schools that need a quick replacement for TLE, including rapid onboarding, which gets schools up and running in Twine in a matter of days, and data migration, so schools don’t have to worry about their current student data being lost in the transition. A special web page is available to schools affected by the closure to answer questions and provide information about how they can transition and how their data will be seamlessly moved. A series of webinars are also planned, so school leaders can see how Twine works and have the chance to ask specific questions to Twine representatives.

Founded in 2016, Twine provides school websites, staff intranets, parent communications, online classrooms, assessment, report cards, transcripts, and more, to schools both domestically and internationally.​
