The teachers are very caring, generally speaking. If you're not Asian, you may be put off by the cultural piece. We know a couple of kindergarten girls who had a hard time adjusting to how strict the teachers were. While they are strict, they are also very loving and caring. Miss Jerri, the Director, is incredible. She truly cares about each kid that walks into that school. She honestly transforms this place every single holiday. When you are working parent, you don't have the time to decorate your house, so the magic is not really as alive as it could be. At Little Tree, it almost feels magical. For Thanksgiving, for instance, they host a feast for the kids. They also take photos of your kiddos, and send them to the parents during holidays. We had a couple of behavioral issues coming up, probably because the ratio of adult to kid isn't the best, but they were addressed immediately and with good communication. Our daughter does not speak Mandarin at home, but other people think that she is bilingual, based on how well she has learned Mandarin. She even did a solo during the performance! I highly recommend this place. We wish they could offer a pick up service from Oster, but they do offer a pick up service if your school is in the Campbell area. We are moving away, so are devastated that we won't continue at Little Tree, but highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mandarin afterschool program!

The teachers meet each student and family where they are, and are incredibly accommodating to help with a gentle transition. Through the co-op format, I'm active in my child's learning journey. It's also allowed me to really get to know the other parents, all who share similar values and approach to parenting and early education. The sense of community I've felt here is truly invaluable. There's many opportunities to socialize with other parents through events and field trips Most important, I know my daughter is in good hands. CPPP's play-based format and carefully thought out curriculum has allowed my daughter to blossom into a confident and capable student. Socially and emotionally, she has thrived and I'm so happy to see her come into her own and develop friendships. Thanks to the trust that's been built with her teachers and parent volunteers, she's able to communicate her needs and feels comfortable asking for help. Academically, she's developed many skills that will prepare her for kindergarten. Theres so many takeaways from this incredible school. One that stands out is the "Calming Corner" the teachers created this past year, a space where students can process big feelings with the help of several calming tools and techniques, including books on emotions and their own calming feather to practice breathing and mindfulness. This space resonated so much with my daughter that she asked us to create a Calming Corner at home for her! We use it regularly. Thank you CPPP for equipping the next generation with the tools and skills they need to become emotionally intelligent and empathetic humans! I always struggled with the idea of my daughter being away from me. I highly recommend CPPP and the parent participation format for any parent who struggles with the same concept. CPPP is the perfect gentle transition for this, and the teachers and other parents are extremely supportive. I also highly recommend CPPP for parents and caregivers who want to be active in their child's learning journey in a safe and supportive environment.

She is incredibly caring and attentive, and it truly shows in the way she interacts with the children. My daughter absolutely loves her and feels happy and safe in her class every day.

Coming from another daycare where my son couldn't adjust, I was very nervous sending him to Action Day at first. He cried the first few days when I dropped him off. His teacher started to hold and talk to him as soon as I dropped him off in the morning. That really helped him to feel comfortable in his new environment and he stopped crying within the next week or so. It has been smooth ever since then. He made many good friends and developed social interaction behaviors. There have been many good memories: Christmas show, Halloween parade, July 4th parade, summer kick off, Easter egg hunt, pre-school graduation ceremony, etc. My son got a chance to perform with his classmates in front of audience during the graduation ceremony. Action Day sent my son's pictures on a daily basis through an app. It was something I looked forward to each day.

When we started, Aaliyah was shy and had a hard time with circle time. For the first few months, she would have a meltdown almost every class because she knew circle time meant we would be leaving soon. Wendy never rushed or pressured her. She has such a natural gift for working with young children, gently encouraging them at their own pace. Week by week, Aaliyah became more comfortable. Before long, she was joining in the songs, helping with the parachute, and eventually dancing in the middle of the circle with the other children. Watching her confidence grow over the course of the year was incredibly rewarding. Every class offered something new to explore. There were crafts like painting and coloring, dress-up and imaginative play, sensory activities, and plenty of time outdoors. The outdoor space is wonderful, with two separate playgrounds for different ages, plus tricycles, a sandbox, water play, bubbles, and so many opportunities for little ones to learn through play. One of the things that makes LGPNS so special is its cooperative preschool model. Parents are actively involved in the classroom alongside an experienced teacher, creating an exceptionally high adult-to-child ratio. It meant every child received lots of attention, and it also gave us parents the chance to really get to know one another. Our class was small enough that we formed genuine friendships, and I'm confident many of those relationships will continue long after preschool. Wendy is everything you hope for in a first teacher--warm, patient, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable about child development. It's easy to see why families speak so highly of her. LGPNS gave our daughter a joyful first school experience and helped her develop confidence, independence, and a love of learning. It also gave our family a wonderful community. We are so grateful for this past year and would wholeheartedly recommend the Terrific Toddlers program to any family looking for a nurturing first preschool experience.

We attended this amazing school for our PreK experience. We were very fortunate to have a choice…read morebetween attending a public school TK program or a private preschool. We chose Los Gatos Parent Nursery School (aka LGPNS) and it was a great fit for our 5-year-old. I have an elementary school teacher credential and I personally feel my child is going to be 100% prepared for kindergarten after attending LGPNS. The school philosophy emphasizes social-emotional skills, developmentally appropriate curriculum, and play-based, child-directed experiences. Academic skills and school readiness are embedded in their thoughtful curriculum. At the PreK class, this means that during circle time, children raise their hand to speak, practice listening to one friend at a time, and work on sitting still, all while doing literacy development through books and rhymes. They develop fine motor schools during art as they practice pencil grip and use scissors. They get early math skills throughout the day by counting, estimating, comparing and making graphs. There is a daily science center as well. There is plenty of time for outdoor, child-directed free-play too! At this time, children work on gross motor skills at the play structure, bike path, and gymnastics mats. They get wonderful sensory development at the sand box, mud kitchen and water table. Throughout the day, they get lots of support in social emotional skills like self-regulation and navigating peer relationships. Children are guided to solve their own challenges with adult support. Children own the process as much as possible, in an age-appropriate way. The facility is bright, clean, and well-stocked with everything from toys and art supplies to books and science materials. The teachers at the school are well-educated, have years of teaching experience, and have been at the school for a long time. Our bi-racial family has always felt welcome and included at the school, and we love how being at a co-op gives us the chance to meet other parents and build community. The adult-child ratios are great too! This is because parents work in the classroom once a week. I get so much value out of my classroom shifts. It helps me understand my child better when I seem them in different contexts. The teacher is always there to offer observations and advice if I ask. I feel I get to grow and improve as a parent and I can support my child better as a result of being at a co-op. Thank you LGPNS!

I was looking for a play-based program that my son could attend during the summer. Some days he did the three-hour class, other days he did the class and lunch bunch. They were very flexible with our schedule and needs. One of the things I noticed right away was that everyday, Deahna stood outside of the classroom and said, "(Students Name) I'm so glad you're here" to each child as they arrived. It was such a caring and thoughtful way to welcome everyone to the classroom. My son has a lot of separation anxiety and they were very supportive and loving; letting us move slowly in our goodbye process and take our time. My son loved the outdoor area and spent most of his time in the sandbox and playing soccer. There was so much child-directed imaginative play taking place. I felt like he was really enjoying an enriching experience.

My son attended…read moreschool there for a little over one-year (he started at one-year old) - and we, as a family, feel so grateful for the owners/teachers, who are amazingly qualified, caring and most importantly, passionate about the growth/development of children. Our son felt very comfortable with the staff - and definitely enjoyed the healthy/delicious meals, music class (we found he LOVES drums and guitar) and socializing. The facility is clean, beautiful, secure - and as parents (including my wife), we felt comfortable at work during the day knowing he was in a safe, secure, productive and nurturing environment. One aspect of the many I LOVED was they send pictures throughout the day - and this was especially important for me as a parent who worries. It was reassuring to get photos of my son smiling/playing - and put my worries at ease. This is also a testament to the teachers - who are top notch working with the babies/kids, but also great at communicating with parents. They do parent/teacher conferences! I was very impressed with all of the staff. I could go on and on about how much we loved Lucciola - but I will end with a note to the owners/operators (Katrina/Ammy). As a family, we felt the vision/mission/idea of the school come to life for our son - and you should be proud of providing such a great service to families in San Jose. He and so many other children are flourishing because you had the courage to make an idea a reality. Thank you! Any family who is looking for quality childcare in a safe and nurturing environment should seriously consider Lucciola.
