Established in 1981, Diablo Hills Country School is a family-operated preschool in a home-like setting. With two locations, one in San Ramon and one in Danville, the school offers preschool classes for children ages 2 through 5 as well as before and after-school care. Staples of this program include developmentally structured activities and small, home-like class rooms, low student-to-teacher ratios, hot lunches and transportation to and from local elementary schools. It is fully licensed by the state of California and has received several awards for its services, among them the PACE Child Care Center of the Year award in 2006.
