They truly take the time to understand each child individually and support them through every stage--from the toddler years through becoming more expressive and independent.

The kindness and support they've shown not only to my son but also to me as a parent has made a lasting impact. This is a place where children are genuinely nurtured, and it shows every day.

Absolutely Exceptional - More Than Just a School…read more Year after year, this Montessori school continues to amaze our family. It is rare to find a place that balances rigorous academic excellence with such a genuine focus on character development and respect. We have watched our youngest (now 4) blossom here over the last two years. The growth in his education level is nothing short of outstanding--he is learning concepts I wouldn't have expected at his age, yet he is doing it with joy and curiosity. But beyond the academics, what impresses me most is the school's commitment to constantly bringing in new activities and enhancing the learning environment. They never settle; they are always finding ways to be better. A few amazing days of the year for you and the family: All the Holidays - The school ensures we celebrate holidays from across all cultures and life. Fathers' Night: An amazing way to connect their children with their fathers. One of the best moments I look forward to every year. I Mother Tea Time: Another amazing experience for the children to spend some quality academic and fun time with their moms. This standard of excellence isn't limited to just one teacher; it is consistent across the board. Every staff member, at every level, cares deeply about these children. If you are looking for a place that will truly invest in your child's future, this is it. We couldn't be happier.

My kids are part time, but they learn so much in the few days they are there. My kids usually come home talking about what they did that day, and always with a smile. We also love that Sunshine House follows the BUSD schedule, it makes life so much easier, since my oldest is in school as well. I would highly recommend this school and would refer family/friends if they ask.

She looks forward to it everyday. She talks about school even when not there and throws tantrums when we have to leave. She comes home each day with school projects they completed and tells us all about what they learned that day. Keri is a great director and is so flexible with us. Ericka is great at being the creative and loving teacher, they are so patient with the little ones. Marquis, Liz, Maria and Shivongi also do a great job at teaching the kids. Thanks Sunshine house for loving our little girl as much as we do.

Finding Keiki Care 123 in Brentwood wasn't just luck--it was a blessing that came exactly when we needed it most. From the very first day, "Mrs. Esmy" welcomed my boys with so much warmth and kindness. It didn't take long before they grew attached to her, and as a father, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your children feel safe, loved, and happy when you're not around. I've watched my boys grow in ways that truly touched my heart--their speech improved, their confidence blossomed, and their excitement to go each day said everything I needed to know. She creates a structured, nurturing environment where kids don't just learn--they feel valued. During one of the hardest times in my life, she gave me peace of mind. She was not only fair and affordable, but she genuinely cared--and that's something you just can't put a price on. Her space is always clean, organized, and welcoming, but what really makes her special is the love she puts into what she does. I will forever be grateful for what she's done for my family. If you're a parent searching for someone you can truly trust with your children, Keiki Care 123 is that place.

Here we are 9 months later and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jayme and the amazing way she cares for our son. Every day that I have to leave him and head into work, my heart breaks just a little, but it is such a relief to know that he is spending time with Jayme and the other children. She is such a blessing and wonderful with the kids! They have so much fun together and it shines through daily. From the nutritious meals she prepares to the arts and crafts that Jude brings home daily, it's all part of what is helping my son grow and blossom into a confident toddler. I was so worried when we began looking for full time care last year that we wouldn't find anything centrally located, affordable and a good fit for our family. Settling was just not an option for us- as I'm sure all parents want the best for their children and expect to be able to find it. We know we are so lucky to have found Jayme. This family daycare is so much more than that and I'm so happy and proud to share how wonderful she truly is!

Would give more stars if I could!…read more My son has been going to Kiddie Academy since 2020, and we've had a wonderful experience. One of the biggest reasons is the excellent learning curriculum, the care and attentiveness of the teachers and staff, and the fact that both my kids love going there, learn so much, and truly enjoy their time. We always feel that they're safe and well cared for. My son is especially fond of Miss Alina -- she's been so kind, caring, and supportive throughout his time there. When it was time for him to leave for kindergarten, he was genuinely sad because Miss Alina was his favorite. Kiddie Academy has been a consistent, nurturing place for my family, and I'm so grateful for the amazing staff who make it feel like a second home. Highly recommend!

My son used to attend another daycare in Mountain View, which we all absolutely loved, but we had…read moreto leave due to relocating. He started at Kiddie Academy Brentwood when he turned four and attended for about five months. His teacher was Ms. Alaina. Pros * You need your own login to enter the school. * All food is provided (though it's not exactly "free," considering we were paying almost $100 a day). * At drop-off, all the teachers would always say good morning to my son. I honestly wished one of those teachers had been his teacher. * My son loved playing with his friends and formed very close bonds with a few of the kids. * He learned how to write most letters and started learning addition. Cons * My son often seemed sad in the mornings when I helped him put his shoes on. He asked for "only easy shoes" because during nap time, they take their shoes off, and Ms. Alaina would refuse to help him put them back on. My son words were "Ms. Alaina said to put them on myself and doesn't want to help me". What parent would have enjoyed listening to that? So then I asked him more questions about this and he said his friend would help him put his shoes on. This made me want to cry because how sweet of his friend to try to help. From there on out, my son only took "easy shoes" (shoes with no shoelaces). Another time, I picked him up and his shoelaces were completely untied. He was literally dragging his feet. I asked the teacher to help him next time, and she said she hadn't noticed. It's hard to believe a child dragging his feet could go unnoticed. * They have a parent app, but the teacher wouldn't update it until the end of the day, which defeated the purpose of wanting updates while I was away at work. * Ms. Alaina had Trump stickers all over her water bottle. (I guess this might be a pro for Trump supporters.) Regardless of political affiliation, a teacher should never display political messaging in the classroom. One time, my son saw a picture of Trump and said with excitement, "It's the guy from school." Why are they talking about Trump at school? * At pick-up, Ms. Alaina never gave me updates on how my son's day went. His previous school always did, so maybe it's just not standard practice here? * One time I picked him up and he had red all over his face. I panicked, thinking it was a nosebleed, but Ms. Alaina said it was frosting from cupcakes they had during snack time. Snack time is at 3pm and I picked him up at 5pm, you would've thought between those two hours she could've told him to go wipe his face. It's literally common sense to wipe a child's messy face. * The classroom had a 1:12 teacher-to-student ratio. For the amount of money parents are paying, I feel that the school could have added another teacher. I guess that helps explain why Ms. Alaina wasn't as attentive as I had hoped. * Again, Ms. Alaina being a Trump supporter. Imagine supporting a president who has openly discussed dismantling parts of the education system while working as a teacher? Make it make sense. Overall, these are the reasons why I feel this school deserves only two stars. Maybe it would have been more if my son's teacher had been kinder and more nurturing.
