I'm happy to provide a parent perspective here for Just Kids! I toured many schools and Just Kids…read morebefore they opened and knew right away it was the right fit. I was very excited to have my son start, even though he had been with us during the pandemic and I was nervous about Covid and transitioning him to care outside the home. They have made sure to take every precaution and I feel confident that my child is as safe as can be. Also, seeing how happy and how much my son was enjoying the interactions with his teachers and new friends made me realize it was the right decision for his social emotional development. I do appreciate that they learn Cantonese and Mandarin as both are so prevalent in SF. There wasn't any confusion for my son as far as learning 2 languages simultaneously. Communication was my top priority, second to my son's happiness and well being. And the clear, prompt communication has been more than I could expect, especially since my son has food allergies. They were amazing with him when he was going through a "normal" behavioral phase. All the teachers, especially Miss Sandy showed so much patience with him and even assured me with her knowledge in child development that he was going to be ok. I love that I can chat with them at drop off and pick up everyday. They also use an app where you can message anytime and see photos from the days' activities. And speaking of activities, WOW! They are exploring and creating with so many different materials. I'm impressed with all their projects. The large private play area is great too. They are doing more outside time and even some of the crafts outside, plus they go out after nap too. They also take walks out to explore the parks. So if you're thinking about preschool, look no further! Just Kids is just amazing!

We sent our daughter to Just Kids as her first preschool right when she turned 2. We were nervous…read moreabout the transition from home, especially since our daughter is a little slow to warm up to new faces and at the time was very limited with her verbal skills. It's hard to imagine a better place that we could have sent her. She fell in love with the teachers immediately, and it was clear that the teachers cared deeply about her too. Her communication skills exploded in the months following her start at Just Kids. She also never came home with any "bad habits," but she came home with plenty of projects from her activities at school! Communication from the staff was always top-notch (including sending photos to see her activities and progress), especially since you miss the little one during the day and want to see what they're up to. Safety and COVID protocols made us feel really good as well. The teacher:student ratio also made us feel like she was going to get a lot of support while also not being overcrowded. Just Kids has been such a special place and we would recommend it in a heartbeat!

My mandarin improved more in 2 years with her than the 6 years that I did in a different program before. I haven't been able to find a program of the same quality since I moved to NYC. I highly recommend her program if you're looking to learn Mandarin.

This school is a hidden gem in SF!!!…read more Enrichment, individualization, and love are the best adjectives to describe New Journey's education to our child. Growing up in a trilingual family, our kid showed signs of early speech delay. The school director, Michelle, not only individualized a lesson plan for our child, but also created an encouraging environment for other kids to interact with ours. We witnessed drastic improvement in our child's verbal communication, social skills, and intellectual curiosity in a few months. He went from speaking no more than three words to speaking full sentences fluently in just a few months. New Journey was very communicative, and we got frequent updates and pictures of our kid everyday (critical if you are in back-to-back meetings all day). Now on food, Michelle designed a balanced and nutritious meal and snack everyday. We were proud to see our picky eater jumping on the weight and height curves in every doctor visit. Potty training was not easy, but New Journey patiently worked with us to ensure that our kid received the individualized attention to encourage self-sufficiency. Parents like us second-guess our decisions for our child almost constantly (white hairs were inevitable), but I have no reservation to recommend any friends and families to New Journey. Thank you Michelle and her team! They are a group of loving educators who truly wants the best for the children.

New Journey has been like extended family for us - our kids LOVE going every day. Both of our kids…read morestarted there as the youngest in the class (at ~15 months) and our older one is now one of the older kids in the class. We've really valued the mixed age group as it's given our kids the chance to learn from older kids, as well as learn "leadership skills" when they become the older kids. The teachers are energetic, caring, and thoughtful. They have taught our kids so much - mandarin, basic life skills, and discipline. Michelle is professional, a great communicator, and genuinely cares about the kids - she's also taught us a lot about how to raise toddlers!

We are so glad our daughter stayed at Chibi Chan Preschool (CCP) for the 4-year-old/TK classroom…read more CCP has been teaching four-year-olds since 1989, and it truly shows--the program is thoughtful, well-developed, and well-established. We value the small, nurturing environment, where our daughter has been able to grow and develop in a safe and supportive space, rather than in a large elementary school that is new to TK instruction. We also appreciate that the TK classroom has three adults instead of two, which makes a meaningful difference in attention and care. Academically, our daughter has made tremendous progress this year. She has learned all of her letter names and is now practicing simple addition and subtraction. Most importantly, she has grown in confidence and enthusiasm for learning, and we know she will enter kindergarten feeling prepared and confident.

Our son Nolan has been attending Chibi Chan Preschool since he was 2 years old, and we've had a…read morewonderful experience. He truly loves going to school every day. The teachers are amazing; kind, caring, and very attentive. They communicate well with parents and are always willing to work with each child's individual needs. Chibi Chan was especially supportive with Nolan's potty training and developmental needs, and we've seen huge improvements in his speech, language, and social skills since he started. The school has a warm, close-knit, family-like community that makes both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported. Nolan loves his classmates and is always talking about how much fun he has at school. We also love the enrichment programs like Jammin' Jamaroo and Taiko drumming. We highly recommend Chibi Chan Preschool to any parents looking for a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment for their young children.

Shelley has an education background, and we really appreciated the activities that they prepare for the kids. They provide a monthly lesson plan, food menu (breakfast, lunch, and snacks for 6 months +), photos, and family-involved holiday activities. There's so much care and attention given to provide a wholistic development for the kids. The primary language of teaching is Mandarin. Our family doesn't speak Mandarin, but we enjoyed learning so many words & phrases through our little one. I feel like for the tuition, you get a very good value for the amount of learning that the kiddos get. Plus, they are very proactive about giving us updates on his learning progress, and they are attentive especially when it comes to health-related events. On top of the exceptional learning curriculum, we feel that Shelley and her family really loved the kids dearly. In the 1.5+ years with Happy Baby Daycare, we felt reassured that he was safe and cared for. Our child was always so happy to arrive in the morning, and would just walk straight in to daycare excited for the day (sometimes even forgetting to say goodbye to us! Haha). Shelley, Xueli, Ming, Carrie, and everyone - we found the best second family for our boy in the beginning months of his life. For that, we will always be grateful! We will keep in touch! :)
