The team here created a structured, engaging, and loving space where the kids could learn and thrive and communication with parents was amazing. They shared so many pictures, videos and updates throughout the day, which not only gave me peace of mind but also helped me feel connected to her day and even get to know the other kids and parents she interacted with. During her time here, my daughter grew so much. She became more independent, built confidence, and they even worked closely with us on potty training. My daughter was constantly learning new things, and I loved hearing her come home singing songs and sharing what she learned. It really felt like a nurturing environment where she was cared for, supported, and encouraged every day. She still talks about Miss Cristy and does really misses going here which says everything.

Hands On Learning has been such a blessing! My husband and I took our child on a tour with the…read moreprogram director, Ms. Elis. The process for scheduling, visiting, and later enrolling at the school was so user-friendly. Ms. Elis answered all of our questions in person and later over email in a timely manner. You could tell she really cares for the students and is in-tune with the staff/children. She made a special point to tell us to bring our child on the tour as we could see how they interacted with the space and how they felt around the other students/staff as we were touring while school was in session. All of the staff is very supportive and we get regular updates throughout the day via message and more info at pick up on how the day went. It is also very easy to communicate through their app regarding pick up changes, general questions, etc. In the Bumblebee class (ages 2-3), you could not ask for better teachers than Ms. Yolanda and Ms. Sarah. They've taken such great care of our baby. Hands On Learning was our first school/daycare experience. Prior to this, our baby was regularly with me as I work from home. While already very extrovert and talkative, we really wanted them to gain more social experience. Most of the children in our lives are all older, so they're not used to parallel play with others their age. They're also used to 1:1 attention from an adult, so we wanted to expose them to a larger group setting sooner than later to improve on any growing social or separation anxiety. Ms. Yolanda in particular has been working tirelessly 1:1 with our baby and really partnering with us to make the transition from no school to half day to now full time (!) 5x a week to be as seamless and pain-free as possible. She's been great about learning what we already do at home and providing additional recommendations for us to try that will help with adjusting to full time school. While we're still navigating BIG emotions at drop off, Ms. Yolanda is always ready with a hug and a smile for our baby. There's still some days of all tears, but those days are getting less and less. I keep hearing that our baby is making lots of improvement from both Ms. Yolanda and Ms. Sarah. The evidence is all over our baby's laughing, smiling face as we talk on the drive home and lasts all the way until bedtime. I can't thank everyone here enough for helping our baby thrive. It really has been an excellent experience for our whole family!

I could see her development starting the 2nd week of enrollment. Her curious nature was able to get the nourishment it needed through play and directions. She quickly made friends with the kids there and learned to share and play together. The staff is amazing. A special shout out to Ms Meenal the director for making it easy for us and the transition from beginning to eventually full time enrollment. It was so seamless because she pays attention to the kids and will let you know what to do when the time is right for your child. The other shout out I have to give is Ms Wannie for being such a great teacher for Olive. Olive comes home every day and mentions her and what Ms Wannie taught her today. I want to share a funny story to show how grown up she is already. At 2.5 years old she told her mom she was thirsty and to get her some water. Her mom said to her "you're a big girl you can get up and get your own water". Her response was "mama a big girl too, get Olive water". She made her mom carry her from the bed to the kitchen to get her water hahaha.

Sending your first child off to preschool is such a strange emotional experience. You know they're…read moreready, but as a first-time parent, there is still so much anxiety in handing your previous little human over to what are, at first, essentially strangers and trusting that they'll be cared for, understood, and loved. We scoured Yelp for some answers and landed on Sunshine School. Sunshine made that transition so much easier for us. I still remember our very first tour. One of the students came up and befriended Ellie while we were there -- and the two of them ended up being friends all the way through their last day of preschool together. It feels like such a perfect little snapshot of our experience at Sunshine. The teachers truly cared about Ellie, and she loved every one of her teachers from the very beginning. They put so much effort into creating fun projects and activities for the kids, and we loved watching how much she learned and grew there. Special shoutouts go to Ms. Lu, Ms. Yula, Ms. Jenny, Ms. Carole, Ms. Summer, and Ms. Kelly! We also really appreciated the Mandarin immersion. I don't speak much Mandarin myself (my high school Mandarin course is but a distant memory here), but Ellie's dad and grandparents do, so having her encouraged to hear, learn, and actually use the language at school has been such wonderful exposure for her. She came home singing songs, using words and phrases, and clearly feeling comfortable with the language in a way I never could have given her on my own. More than anything, Sunshine became a place where we felt comfortable leaving our daughter every day -- which, for an anxious first-time preschool parent, is probably the highest compliment I can give. And I think the most telling review is this: we'll be back. We have a younger child, and when he's old enough, we fully plan to enroll him at Sunshine too. There really isn't a stronger endorsement than trusting the same school with your next baby. We are also enrolling Ellie in the after school program as she enters TK. We're going to miss this place and all the people who were such a big part of Ellie's first school experience.

Ms. Lucy, the director, was so kind and made us feel like a big family.   I also loved how much the school did for the children. My daughter got to enjoy field trips, outside performers, a petting zoo, bubble fun, and so many other activities. She came home with wonderful memories, and I'll always be thankful for the love and care she received there.

A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Lucy, the director, for creating such a warm, caring, and welcoming environment. A very special thank you to Mrs. Catalina. She has been an incredible teacher and has cared for our son as if he were her own. He absolutely adores her--to the point that he asks for Mrs. Catalina even on the weekends! As parents, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your child feels that loved and safe. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for children shine through in everything she does. She even gifted our son a copy of a children's book that she wrote herself, which meant so much to us and speaks volumes about her passion, experience, and dedication to helping children learn and grow. The progress we've seen in our son has been amazing. His vocabulary has grown tremendously, he learns something new every day, and he comes home excited to share what he did at school. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a safe, loving, and enriching place for their child.

I have so many wonderful things to say about the school and staff, but I don't have enough time to write an entire essay! Overall, everyone has been incredibly kind, supportive, and caring throughout my daughter's milestones and development. From her teachers and teacher assistants (there have been many over the years, so it would be difficult to list them all) to the front desk staff Ms. Cassandra, Ms. Cindy, and Ms. Chitra, everyone has always been helpful, accommodating, and attentive to my daughter's needs and communication. The facility is clean, organized, and always feels safe. It was a brand-new school when we first enrolled, and they have continued to maintain the property and improve their operations over time. There is also plenty of parking, which makes drop-off and pick-up very convenient for parents. One thing I truly appreciate is how the school continuously strives to improve and enhance safety for the children. Over the years, they have implemented several positive changes, such as installing doorbell alerts when classroom doors are opened, tracking and documenting classroom attendance to ensure every child is accounted for, and upgrading their communication system. Parents can now easily view photos and receive updates about their child's daily activities and progress through the app. Most importantly, I have seen tremendous growth in my daughter since attending Learn & Play. The curriculum is easy for parents to follow and has played a significant role in her learning and development. Overall, I highly recommend Milpitas Learn & Play. The staff is amazing, the school is well-organized, and my daughter has had a wonderful experience there. We are very grateful for all the care, support, and dedication they have shown our family over the years.
