What parents say

Wonderful Preschool! Both my daughter and son attend MCG in San Mateo, and we couldn’t be happier. It’s for kids ages 2 to 5 and has a great Islamic environment.

We love all teachers at MCG! I have been coming here for 6 years now with three kids and we love it. The teachers are always so welcoming and teach the children so much. It’s such a great addition to the Muslim Community to teach the children Islam and Arabic.
