Our daughter started attending Neverland daycare when she was 20 months old and from the very first…read moreday it felt like a second home for her. She looked forward to going every single day, which as parents meant the world to us. The learning journey she experienced here was incredible we witnessed beautiful growth in her confidence, communication, independence, and love for learning. Neverland teachers are genuinely warm, loving and deeply caring, creating an environment where children feel safe, valued, and happy. The activities are thoughtfully planned, creative, and engaging and the monthly celebrations are done with so much heart and intention they always made the kids feel special and excited. The healthy, nutritious meals provided were a blessing, especially for our picky eater. Over time, this care and consistency helped her develop better eating habits, something we are truly grateful for even today. Nina holds an incredibly special place in our hearts. Her kindness, patience and unconditional love left a lasting imprint on our daughter's early years. The bond our daughter shares with her is something we will always cherish. Nina didn't just care for our child she helped shape her with love, warmth and trust. Neverland will forever be a meaningful part of our family's journey, and we couldn't be more thankful for the foundation, love, and memories created here.

I can't say enough good things about Neverland Daycare and Miss Courtney! From the very first day,…read moreshe made my child feel so welcome and loved -- it honestly felt like we were dropping them off with family, not just a teacher. Miss Courtney has the kindest heart and such a natural way with kids. She really takes the time to understand each child's personality and helps them grow in their own way. My daughter is excited to go to daycare every morning. The daycare is clean, big, full of fun and varieties of activities. Each day she has learning and meal schedules, walking, exercise. Ms Courtney sends pictures of my daughter to me everyday. My daughter has learned so much and has so much fun here. Ms Nary is not in my daughter's class but she always keeps checking on us which is very nice of her! We're so grateful to have found Neverland Daycare and Miss Courtney.

Every day, our daughter is involved in activities that help her grow and learn. From creative art, food prep, science experiments and paper crafts to making custom keychains, the projects are fun and developmentally helpful. There are also so many programs and projects listed in the newsletter we receive regularly. They do a wonderful job helping her build strong fine motor skills, and Fridays are especially fun because of dance day, which she looks forward to each week. What really stands out is the staff. Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall are genuinely kind, sincere, and caring. The teachers are always going above and beyond for the kids, and we always feel comfortable knowing our daughter is in good hands. Ms. Hamina keeps me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciate. I was nervous about putting my daughter into daycare at first, but she has had such a positive experience. She adjusted quickly and actually loves daycare! All the other kids are so good to her and each other. We are very grateful for the care and enrichment they provide and would highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging environment for their child.

The teachers, Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall, clearly love what they do and genuinely care about the kids. Ms. Hamina has put together an incredible curriculum. In just a short time, our daughter has gotten to experience so many fun activities--visits from police officers, a fire truck, the East Bay SPCA, cooking classes, and a new learning theme each month. Last month, they even put on an art show featuring all of the kids' artwork, which was such a thoughtful touch and a proud moment for us. We also really appreciate the cozy, home-like environment--it feels safe, welcoming, and perfect for young kids. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves going every day, which says it all. We're so thankful to have found Little Feet Preschool and highly recommend it to other families!

My son went to this daycare for about a year in 2023. Our experience was a mixed bag…read more The good - It's my son's first daycare and he had a relatively smooth start here. Michelle and her crew are experienced, and they did create a cheerful environment for the kids. The bad - Sloppy day-to-day operations, or so we suspect at least. We could only speculate because the daycare was never open-door to parent visits (aside from the after-hour tour before we enrolled), but there were clear signs: (1) after the final checkout we found our son's steel mug missing, and it sounded like the crew didn't even remember seeing it - makes us wonder how they manage each kid's personal items. (2) Apparently, kids get to watch TV the last hour-ish before pickup every day. When we asked about this, Ms Michelle was 100% unapologetic. ("If you have concerns with that, I can totally arrange for your kid to stay in another room before pickup.") The ugly - The tuition uses a monthly rate without any adjustments for days off, and in December 2023, they're open for a whopping total of FOUR days - which isn't great, but nothing unethical I think, as they did share the calendar beforehand. We happen to be traveling the entire December, so we gave the 30-day notice for an end-of-November checkout. To our surprise, this was considered by Michelle an unfair (?) attempt to circumvent the December rip-off, and she insisted that we receive 5 fewer days of care in November. She would also go out of her way and type a "holiday notice" customized just for us. For context, the schedule has a 5-day off for Thanksgiving that's moved to December instead, and the daycare's open for the week of Thanksgiving. We were given a customized fake schedule that says they're closed during that week. We happened to be traveling, too, so it wasn't a huge issue, but the shady practice and bad attitude by Michelle did leave a bad taste. No, Ms Michelle, you can't claim people are "taking unfair advantages" when all they do is try to stick to YOUR established schedule. The care provided during Thanksgiving week was part of your schedule, simply as that and not a "benefit" that you selectively bestow only to those paying $2,000 for 4 days of care in the next month.

I absolutely recommend the Lanci family daycare program. We…read morestarted our son with Lanci at 5 months old. He adjusted right away. We were looking for a family daycare environment that would be personal, caring and feel like home. Also importantly it had to match with work schedules averaging from 7:30 am-5:30 pm. His teachers Connie and Mikaela were wonderful. They offer both English and Mandarin language education that supplements what we speak at home. The Lanci house is clean, safe and dedicated to the kids play indoors and outdoors. After trying to organize our home based on Montessori principles, I appreciate that the toys are age appropriate and accessible. There's a small area for cots and cribs for napping and our baby never lost sleep. He's benefited so much from being with other kids both his age and older. He's hit so many milestones including rolling over, sitting and now crawling! He has tried and loved all the foods he eats there. I love that I get updates about all his activities throughout the day (eating, napping, diaper changes). Evelyn and Connie, the program founders are fantastic and truly treat every child like their own. It feels great to have my little one looked after by people who are so caring. We are so lucky to find the Lanci program.

In response to Evelyn's comments:…read more My previous review outlined the unique characteristics of Lanci and what sold my family to sign up. While my conclusion is an opinion, it is based on my family's experience and documented evidence. Regardless, I hope Yelp users take every review with a grain of salt whether 1 or 5 stars. The Bantry location was cited for being overcapacity for both children and caretakers (license # 015700135). The 1:2 to 1:6 ratio depends on if other children are sick/vacation and/or there is staff available. The latter has been difficult with the staff turnover. In my experience at the Bantry location, ~55% of the time spent at Lanci was at a 1:4 ratio, which was not what we signed up initially for. 1. There were no requests to change any policy. The contract I signed did not have a clear vacation policy and I had to get clarification and find common ground with Evelyn. We agreed in writing to a solution. The other reference to the contract was when all infants at Bantry contracted COVID-19 due to a caretaker testing positive a few days prior to all infants being ill. I inquired about the Provider's Sick Day policy and Evelyn agreed to reimburse parents for the days the Bantry location was closed. 2. My family honored the sick policy and that Evelyn was the final arbiter even with a medical opinion in hand. We complied when she requested us to pick up our son as soon as we could. As previously mentioned, our experience has been a hit-or-miss - sometimes our son or other children could attend with cold-like symptoms, other times they could not. 3. Expectations about Lanci were set during initial interactions with Evelyn prior to signing up. I agreed to supply our own diapers/wipes without a tuition adjustment. As Lanci could not fully accommodate for a vegetarian/vegan diet, Evelyn and I agreed to a $100/month tuition adjustment to offset my cost to provide snacks/meals to my son when he started solid food. No further discounts were inquired for. Towards the end of 2022, Evelyn introduced a new ~$350 materials fee for 2023. I asked if my family could be waived given it would exceed our 2023 budget as a tuition of $2750/month is expensive for an 18-24 month year old program. She responded with a no and I respected her decision. Again, the purpose of my review is to provide an updated account of Lanci based on my family's experience and observations.

We truly can't find enough words to express our gratitude to Jyoti and Jagvinder for the exceptional care they provide to our little one.
