My parents enrolled me in Genius Kids afterschool and summer camp programs when I was in…read morekindergarten and I continued to attend all the way through the middle of fourth grade (I still remember when one of their locations was called Win With Words!) I have a lot of good memories there, but I have to say they were more related to the friends who attended than the actual learning experience. I'm not sure how the curriculum has changed since I went, but to any inquisitive parents wondering, our schedule usually consisted of being picked up from school, having snack time, doing our school assigned homework, and then free time. They didn't really give us any additional work to do so if you want your kids to get academic enrichment this probably isn't the best place. Summer camp had more ; we did get some work but we took field trips to the nearby elementary schools to stretch out legs and we did do fun activities. My main problem, as other reviews seem to say, is with the management. The teachers at this location were super nice and I was pretty close with a lot of them. I think they did care about the well being of the kids and acted accordingly. I wish I could say the same for Ms. Rennu, Mr. Gill, Ms. Shana, and Ms. Sheena. Even as a young child, I could pick up on the vibe that the staff were scared of being fired for no reason. They would always remind us to be extra neat and proper before a visit from Ms. Rennu so they wouldn't 'get in trouble'. When Ms. Rennu and the rest interacted with us, they were always harsh and impatient. I don't have a single good memory of any of them in all my years of attending. I am now a sophomore in high school and still get an icky feeling whenever someone mentions Ms. Rennu, so it's really not worth traumatizing your kid by sending them here. They also weren't very willing to listen to parents and often treated them condescendingly. Keep in mind that if an elementary school child could pick up on this, it was really a problem. If you're a parent and reading this review, I don't recommend that you send your kid here.

I went to tour this place as a possibility for after school care for my son. The entire experience…read morewas bad. I showed up 20 mins earlier than my appt time (traffic was great) so I waited in my car, I literally did not see a soul come in or out of that place, then I went in and the man that gave me the tour couldn't answer any of my basic questions, how many students a day, grade range, daily routine, nothing. There were no windows, really the whole place gave me the creeps and my son too. As soon as I walked out I got a call from the female director (I think) who had booked my appt for the tour as though she had been alerted to my dissatisfaction of the place and i told her exactly how I felt, she then tried to answer my questions and tried to make excuses for why my questions weren't answered during the tour but I just felt a bad vibe and I never went back!

My youngest son just graduated from ABC after spending 3 years there, and we are so grateful for…read morethe amazing experience he and his older brother who graduated from ABC 2 years ago have had. From the nurturing teachers, nutritious meals, age-appropriate instruction to the thoughtful curriculum and meaningful progress evaluations (not tests but tracking of developmental outcomes), ABC has set up both of my sons for success not just academically but also socially. My boys have shared many times how much they enjoy ABC, always excited to talk about the various projects they've created. I've also appreciated Maroof's guidance, especially navigating the boys' transition after preschool. Each year, Maroof mentors early education students since ABC is a shining example of what a high quality early education school should look like.

Our daughter has been attending ABCMM since she was three years old, and now, as she prepares to…read moregraduate this summer, we find ourselves reflecting with deep gratitude on the incredible foundation this school has given her. I toured many preschools before choosing ABCMM, but the moment I met the director, I knew this place was different. Her passion for early childhood education and her genuine care for children's wellbeing were immediately clear -- and that heartfelt approach is reflected in everything at the school. From the carefully considered learning stations to the expansive and engaging playground, every detail is designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and joy. ABCMM is truly a place where children feel seen, safe, and celebrated. All the teachers are warm, attentive, and kind. You can tell they truly love what they do. The teacher-to-student ratio is great, which means each child receives the attention and care they need to thrive. Our daughter felt so at home that, at one point, she even started calling one of her teachers "mommy" -- a moment that made us laugh but also touched our hearts. It's a testament to how loved and supported she felt every single day. One unique and wonderful touch is the meals provided daily by a private chef -- thoughtfully prepared and delivered to the school. As parents, we really appreciated knowing our daughter was eating nutritious, balanced meals, without anything sugary or overly processed. She's grown so much in her time here -- socially, emotionally, and intellectually -- all through play and exploration. We honestly wish we could have gone to a preschool like this ourselves! Thank you to everyone at ABCMM for making our daughter's early years so special. We will miss you dearly and carry these beautiful memories with us forever.

My first Yelp review in awhile, but I thought it was important to share my wonderful experience…read morewith Little Steamers during this ongoing pandemic, particularly for parents who need learning support and for children who need interaction with other children their age. My son is in kindergarten in Chadbourne and he has been able to attend their program daily from 1pm-5pm after his online zoom sessions. For me, it was most important to have my active son interact with other children his age since he wasn't getting any in-person 1:1 time with his teacher or class mates. The administrator, Miss Joni, has been wonderful and has been able to tailor learning to my son's interests in a fun and challenging way so he's not only able to complete his Kindergarten assignments, but also learning to build bots with Legos, wood carving, Infinity Math, rock wall climbing, and even Mandarin Chinese, just to name a few of the multitude of activities! Class size has been very manageable with 2 students in kindergarten, 2 other pre-Kinder children (in a separate class) and they have been really wonderful adjusting to COVID standards. I just wanted to share my positive experience to other parents who may need extra support during this pandemic! They also have all-day distance learning hubs available, so I do have the option of brining my son earlier to the program if I need to. I also love how the Miss Joni and Miss Cheryl send me daily pics of the great work that my son is doing through the afternoon. It provides me peace knowing that he is such good hands. I highly recommend this program and encourage other parents to take tour if you're curious! They have been very accommodating to our family needs. And I know they truly love and care about the well-being of my son, which is most important of all.

We've had our child at Learn and Play Maple Campus for over two years now and it honestly has been…read moreone of the best decisions we've made as parents. Our kiddo is in kindergarten and watching her grow, both academically and socially has been really something. Let's start with the curriculum because it genuinely surprised us. It goes well beyond the basics. Kids get exposure to STEM topics, Spanish and even yoga, and there's still plenty of time carved out for outdoor play every day. It doesn't feel rushed or overly structured. The balance is just right for this age group. The food situation is also worth mentioning because not every school gets this right. Maple has a no microwave, no fridge policy, which sounds strict at first but it actually encourages parents to send fresh, healthy food. The school also provides healthy snacks. And if you're a working parent who doesn't always have time to prep a lunch, Ms. Radhika launched a fresh hot lunch program. You enroll at the start of the month and your child gets a freshly made hot lunch each day. The price is very reasonable (around $5 per meal), and even though we haven't personally used the service, we think it's a fantastic option for busy families. Another thing Ms. Radhika introduced is a partnership with Amazing Athletes, a dedicated sports program that comes in once a week. The idea is to introduce kids to a variety of sports so they can figure out what they actually enjoy, rather than being pushed into one thing early. It's a great way to get them moving and curious about athletics. The program runs about $80 a month and is totally worth it. On the practical side, parking is never a headache here. There's a dedicated lot with plenty of space, so you're never circling the block or rushing to a street spot at drop-off. Our kiddo and her friends sometimes hang out in the parking area after pickup for a little impromptu snack party, which tells you something about how comfortable and unhurried the whole vibe is there. The campus itself is really well set up. The playground area is nicely shaded, surrounded by trees and has a solid fence so kids can run around freely without you worrying. With only six classrooms, this is a smaller campus compared to some of the bigger Learn and Play locations, and that's honestly a plus. The staff knows every child, the class sizes stay manageable, and your kid doesn't get lost in the shuffle. For staying connected, they use the BrightPath Connect app, which sends you updates throughout the day so you always know what's going on. As a working parent, that kind of visibility is really reassuring. And then there's Ms. Radhika. She has been the heartbeat of this campus. She knows every child personally, is always available when parents have questions or concerns, and has built something that genuinely feels like a community. The warmth starts with her and flows through the whole staff. I can go on and on. In summary, if you're a working parent looking for a school where your child will be challenged, cared for, and truly happy, Maple Campus is absolutely worth checking out. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

We have had a wonderful experience with Learn and Play Montessori (Maple campus), and choosing this…read moredaycare for our child has been among the most meaningful and impactful decisions we have made as parents. We have had the opportunity to interact with most of the teachers over time, and every single one of them has been extremely caring, soft, gentle, and patient with the kids -- while also being firm and consistent in teaching good habits, manners, structure, and discipline. That balance is incredibly important, and they do it beautifully. Our child started here at just 2 years old and almost instantly formed a strong bond with Miss Nasreen and Miss Yaimara, which made the transition so much easier for us as parents. As our child grew, Miss Ellah and Miss Ishita became the primary teachers in the following year, and our child bonded just as well with them -- we could clearly see their warmth, dedication, and positive influence. We are especially grateful to Radhika (Director), along with the wonderful teachers Miss Carmen and Miss Stephanie, who have all contributed meaningfully to our child's journey. The school does an excellent job of tracking progress and sharing regular feedback -- both positive and constructive. Even when kids are being a little mischievous (as all kids do!), the teachers handle it with so much patience, care, and professionalism, always turning it into a learning opportunity rather than a negative experience. Over time, we have seen significant development in our child -- socially, emotionally, academically, and in good manners and behavior. The progress from when we first enrolled to where our child is today has been incredibly reassuring and rewarding to witness. They have sufficient parking, and drop-off and pick-up are easy to handle. The entry and exit are well monitored, with a front desk assistant always present and strong CCTV coverage, which gives us great peace of mind around safety. Most importantly, our child is happy, confident, and excited to go to school every day, and comes home with new skills, stories, and a smile. As parents, that sense of trust and comfort is everything. We feel extremely fortunate to be part of this community and are deeply grateful to the entire team for the love, structure, and care they provide. Very highly recommended for any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and growth-focused environment for their child.

Miss Flora child care is exactly the type of day care that we are looking for: a structured, warm…read moreenvironment that teaches our kids the basics so they can be prepared for the real world and its challenges. As parents we were skeptical of all the day care facilities that have popped up in the Bay Area that focuses on the Montessori style type of education. We didn't understand how you could put a child in an environment and let them learn on their own without any lesson that teaches them the fundamentals. An unstructured environment where you sit your child down and let them learn on their own didn't make sense. To us, it was like giving your child a pen and paper. Yes, in an unstructured environment it may let them draw random squiggles and lines but without the proper knowledge to write letters, to form worlds, and then eventually form sentences, it didn't give our children the opportunity to open up a higher order of learning that could occur. That's why we felt a teacher with a clear lesson, goals and outcomes were important for our kids. This is what makes Miss Flora different: she focuses on the basics that makes your child successful and excel in the future. She focuses on making sure your child can draw lines that are straight, the shapes they cut are orderly, the letters and numbers are memorized. From this, she teaches vocabulary, associations, math, patterns and everyday skills that they can use for the basis of their knowledge in the future. To us, she provides a solid, if not advanced, foundation for children when they enroll in elementary school. We have both of our kids in her day care and they have advanced tremendously since they enrolled. If it were not for us moving out of the region, we would have kept our youngest there until she graduated to first grade. She is an excellent educator and if she has availability for you to enroll your child, our recommendation would be to not hesitate and sign up as soon as you can.
