Anna and the teachers are amazing and clearly care so much about the kids. It has made a huge difference knowing he is somewhere he felt comfortable and cared for. We also really appreciate the updates and pictures, which helps us feel connected to his day. My son has made great friends and always looks forward to going each day, which shows how much he loves it at daycare. Little Goose has been a really positive experience for our family, and we'd happily recommend it to others.

We are grateful to Anna and the Little Goose team for the care provided to our little one. He has…read morebonded very well with his kind, fun teachers and shares stories every day about his experiences with his friends and teachers, the toys, crafts, or activities they do. The weekly update photos also confirm that he's enjoying his environment at Little Goose. Our little guy was able to potty train smoothly with the partnership between us and his teachers. The first few days without diapers were a bit anxious for him, and the teachers found ways to help calmly and steadily guide him to where he knew what to expect and we are so excited to hit that milestone! We appreciate the teacher's help with regulating and healthily expressing emotions. We also appreciate the exposure to Chinese language. We know that this age is critical for development, and believe the consistent exposure to his Little Goose environment is helping form additional pathways for our little.

***Do not allow your kids to go here.***…read more Yes, every parent experience is different , mine has been terrible. I absolutely would not recommend. My son had been going here since November of 2024 and we have had incident after incident. He was 2 when he enrolled and full of energy. There would incidents of him coming all covered in dirt and wet pull ups by the time I picked him. I addressed it the owner would say it would be addressed and it would for a few weeks then back to the same thing. Then, he came home with bumps and cuts that would not get reported to me. Had meetings and the owner finally moved him from the care of one of her older workers. But, the last straw was when one of the workers changed my son in front of the door where the parents pick up for anyone to see and on top of that his brand new shirt was ripped that same day like an animal attacked him without a report.

It's crazy to me that many preschools in the San Leandro area have no reviews. But Bubbly Tots…read moredefinitely gets 5 stars! My son started in July 2024. Unfortunately, we made left in November 2024 because I got a new job in the ECE field and was able to take my son with me. Long story short, it did not work out for my son, so I brought him back to Bubbly Tots in August 2025. It's almost been 3 months since he's returned and he has had so much success thanks to the wonderful staff and the amazing structure and activities they provide for the children. I cannot thank Ms. Soni and her ENTIRE team for welcoming us back with open arms! My son shows an increased interest in writing, coloring, and loves going to school. He even looks forward to doing his homework! When we were gone for almost 8 months, he would still ask for his Bubbly Tot teachers (especially Ms. Maria). They have truly made him feel loved and cared for. On the weekends he asks me if he is going to school because he misses it. That alone tells me that they have made a huge positive impact on my son. His current teacher, Ms. Carolyn is amazing with my son has taught him humility, kindness, and instilling confidence in him. Words alone cannot express how grateful I am for Bubbly Tots. The area is so convenient, policies are very straight forward, they care about their children and families, and I always feel super comfortable dropping off my son to school, which is sadly rare to find in preschools and schools nowadays. Please check them out if you are considering preschool and want your child to receive the best care!

Our daughter was at ABC Preschool for her first four years in Castro Valley, and we couldn't have…read moreasked for a better experience. This place really felt like home to her and to us. She grew so much while she was there. The teachers are warm and caring, and you can tell they really love what they do. It was always so nice to be see their arts and crafts hung up right by the front door so that you could see what they had worked on recently. I also thought it was awesome that they spoke Spanish to her. I've struggled to keep that going at home, so it meant a lot to know she was learning and practicing at school without me even being there. The school also did a bunch of family events that we loved. Daddy and Me was always a favorite because we got to come in, watch the kids perform, and do crafts together. They also put on fun things for the holidays, like Halloween and Christmas, where the kids got to celebrate and we could be part of it too. It was great watching her play with her friends and have her show me all her favorite places to play in the outdoor play area. The hours were always great so if you're a working parent you have that peace of mind that you know your kids are taken care of so you can focus on work. We're really thankful for the time our daughter had at ABC Preschool. She made great memories, learned so much, and we always felt like she was in the right place. I'd highly recommend you to check this daycare out.

Our daughter has been enrolled here for the last two years and has had a wonderful experience. I…read morereally appreciate how much her teachers care about her, how passionate they are about the kids and how easy they are to talk to if anything comes up. Considering the facilities and that it is a professionally run preschool and daycare center, I do think they provide great value. Our daughter will be attending TK and the fact that the preschool is right next door to Castro Valley Elementary is extremely convenient as they handle both pickup and drop-off. It also provides a partial day of a familiar environment and teachers she loves as she transitions to public school, which is a big plus. Well done ABC Preschool and Daycare!

We've had such a wonderful experience at Little Seeds! Both of our kids have attended over the…read moreyears, and it's been such a loving, engaging environment for them. The teachers truly care about the children, and our youngest actually ASKS to go to school now to be with her friends -- which says it all. There's always something fun happening, from themed events to special sensory activities that keep the kids excited to learn and play. We've made great friends through the community and are genuinely sad that our time here is coming to an end. If I HAD to mention one area for improvement, it would be around the daily communication and admin updates -- but honestly, that seems to be a common theme for most daycares on the island. Overall, we're so grateful for the care, kindness, and joy this daycare has brought into our children's early years and especially during COVID. Highly recommend!

5 Stars - Truly Grateful for Little Seed Children Center…read more My daughter started at Little Seed Children Center about 6 months ago and I couldn't be more pleased with how much she's been learning and growing. Of course, things come up occasionally, but honestly, what household or community runs perfectly at all times? What I deeply appreciate about LSCC is that everything they do is grounded in strong values: honor, respect, and genuine care. Just as important, they embrace humanity. When things aren't perfect, I see it as an opportunity for learning for both myself and the staff, and that is something rare and valuable. The best part of LSCC is that they truly work with you as a team. Not necessarily like "family" in the cliché sense, but in a very real and supportive way. I had a couple of challenging moments at drop-off, and Ms. Sarah stepped in with incredible support. She has this remarkable ability to balance structure with compassion, knowing exactly when to hold firm on guidelines and when to extend kindness to parents navigating tough days. I am sincerely grateful to all the staff, to Ms. Sarah in particular, and honestly to the universe for leading me here. I see children the same age as my daughter who haven't reached the developmental milestones she has consistently surpassed with the help of LSCC. That speaks volumes about the quality of their approach. Nothing in life is ever perfect. Kids get sick, challenges happen, but LSCC handles it all with a grounded, reality-based approach to caregiving. What matters is the net positive impact, and for my daughter it has been tremendous. They have created an environment where she is thriving, and for that I will always be thankful. Especially for Ms. Sarah!

Sandra the owner is very attentive and great with communication. She follows through on all requests. They provide all meals and even accommodated my request for vegetarian options both times The teachers are all very good, even at the old Otis location where my daughter went few years ago.My son recently went to the Park Avenue location and very easily adjusted to the teacher Helen. He was always happy to see her and stopped crying at drop off within couple of days. The teachers put in a lot of effort and are very friendly.

His language development is slightly delayed and…read moreuntil recently he started telling me thing had happened back then, which completely shocked me. He told me he and his friends were locked inside a closet room as punishment. He was screaming asked for help and the teacher would not open. One time he was trying to grab and open the door and end up cutting his finger (I actually do remember one day the teacher told me he was "playing" and cut his finger, now I finally knew exactly what happened!!! My son also told me his friend who can talk well did tell his mom they were locked up but his mom didn't believe such horrible thing could happen. Do not send your child to this place and do not mis-guided by Sandra's sweat promise. Do believe what your kids said if they had told you things happened to them. Bottom line, this is a family business and a lot of State guideline are not closely followed (Sandra back then used room up-stair for activities, which I was concerned for safety). It is a solution if you are looking for low cost and easy to enroll daycare, but I would not keep the child there for long term, especially when the child is young and can not report incident to you.
