New in California – need advise on aptmts, schools and daycare

Hi All, I’m new to trivalley area and to California too. Looking for some advice on good preK public schools or Montessori schools for my 3.5 year old and  daycare for 1 year old.
Any advice on rental apartments that would be convenient to commute to BART and schools/daycare would also be helpful.
Thanks
Rash
