Part of me wants to have another baby, just so I can send them back to Mila and Cuqui's…read more We were part of Ms. Mila's daycare for five years in a row, and closing that chapter of my family's life has been one of the hardest goodbyes I've ever had to say. Ms. Mila and her husband Mr. Cuqui took care of both my children--my youngest from the time he was an infant until he recently transitioned to TK. They are some of the best caregivers I have been lucky to meet, and they are organized, efficient, and dependable in how they run their home daycare. If you are a new parent and unsure of whether a nanny, preschool, or something in between will be the most ideal for your child, Ms. Mila's truly blends the best of them all. The home-based environment provides that casual, family-like touch that is so good for the little ones' development and helps builds important human connections at an early age. At the same time, Mila and Cuqui integrate lots of intentional teaching, play, art, and activities on a daily basis that engage the children in foundational learning and skills-building. Both my kids learned to read at an early age, which I attribute to the help of the consistent attention and teaching they got here. On top of it all, Mila and Cuqui know how to make things fun--they celebrate holidays, birthdays, and occasional family gatherings, not to mention they take some enviable, much-deserved vacations and camping trips on their time off! I admire these providers greatly in how they live and run a business, and I truly loved and will miss sending my kids to them alongside all of their daycare friends. If you are lucky to secure a spot at Ms. Mila's, your family is SET.

Our daughter never felt pressured to learn, yet we could clearly see her progress at home. She learned her letters and numbers, how to write and spell her name, and other important skills that helped prepare her for kindergarten. She also learned how to socialize with other children, follow instructions and routines, and be part of a group. Mila and her husband, Cuqui, also created a wonderful sense of community for the children and families. Their Christmas celebration was always so thoughtful, from the authentic Peruvian dinner she and Cuqui prepared to a gift for each child, and even a visit from Santa for the kids! Our daughter learned and grew so much during her time here. We're incredibly grateful she had such a warm, family-friendly, and play-based environment to help prepare her for kindergarten.

The teachers and the family are some of the nicest people you'll meet. Our son was always happy, didn't want to leave the daycare at the end of the day and made some really nice friends there! Ms. Tang, Ms. Hannah and the others are awesome at taking care of the little ones. They kept the kids well fed and happy, we never had any complaints or issues. We had no concerns ever, our son was happy to enter their facility everyday and that speaks volumes about the love, care and affection he received. All in all, we love the service and the value. We will send our next baby in Ms. Tang's care as well!

My son was born at the beginning of the pandemic and all daycares were closed shortly after he was…read moreborn. When the daycares started to reopen, I started to look for a daycare so that I can return to work full time. I checked a couple of other places before I had a tour with my son at Lily's. It's a very cozy place with a nice backyard and a garden with vegetables and fruits. My son liked the place so much at the tour so I decided to choose this place; besides, it's very close to where we used to live. My son stayed there for nearly two years under the care of Ms. Tang, who was very professional, patient, and caring. I'm glad I made the right choice. Now that my son is in preschool in a different city, we still visit Ms. Tang sometimes when we are nearly. I don't know if my son will remember his stay at Lily's, but I'm sure the happiness he enjoyed there will be an emotional life-time treasure.

Run & Fun is one of those rare places that leaves a lasting mark on your family…read more We found Run & Fun through a recommendation from a mutual friend, and all three of our children started there at just six months old. Looking back, I feel incredibly fortunate that they did. Our eldest was born during COVID and spent the first six months of her life with very little interaction outside our immediate family. She has always been a sensitive child and naturally hesitant in unfamiliar environments, so I was especially nervous about leaving her somewhere new. But Erika and Carlos had an incredible way of making her feel safe from the very beginning. She connected with them almost immediately, and before long, Run & Fun had become her happy place. She loved going there so much that leaving at the end of the day was sometimes a full-on emotional event! She would cling to Erika's neck and cry because she didn't want to go home. That says more than any review ever could. She wasn't simply comfortable there. She felt loved, secure, and completely at home. And when our two younger children joined, they developed that same special bond with Erika and Carlos. What makes Run & Fun extraordinary is, above all, the people. Erika and Carlos are truly exceptional human beings. They are warm, patient, generous, and incredibly attentive, but most importantly, they have a natural gift for understanding and caring for children. The love they give isn't something you have to wonder about. You see it in the way the children run to them, trust them, and simply feel happy in their presence. They also put so much thought into every aspect of the children's day. Carlos prepared fresh, delicious food that my kids absolutely loved, and Erika made learning fun and engaging, introducing them to letters, numbers, and early learning in such a natural way. By the age of three, our eldest recognised all letters and numbers (in English and Spanish) and could write her own name. And they always came home with the sweetest little pieces of art and crafts. I still have a box full of them, and they are some of my favourite keepsakes from those years. When we moved away, I honestly cried. It was incredibly difficult to leave a place where I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that my children were loved and cared for so deeply. As a parent, finding people you trust completely with your children is priceless, and saying goodbye to that was incredibly hard for me. Even though we've moved and all three of my children are now in school, Erika and Carlos are still such a meaningful part of their memories. They still talk about them and remember their time at Run & Fun so fondly. We haven't been back to the area yet, but they keep talking about wanting to see Erika and Carlos the next time we're in town. And one of the sweetest things is that Erika and Carlos still remember every birthday and they always call to wish my children a happy birthday. I cannot recommend Run & Fun highly enough. If you're looking for someone to care for your children, you aren't just choosing a daycare. You're choosing the people who will shape a meaningful part of their earliest years. We could not have asked for better people to be part of ours. I will always be grateful that our paths crossed with Erika and Carlos. Run & Fun will forever be a very special chapter in our family's story, and Erika and Carlos will always have a special place in our hearts.

I've been with the daycare for over 7yrs. I couldn't possibly cover all the ways I'm grateful for…read morethem so I'll list a handful. First, they are the embodiment of dependability. Even through the pandemic, they only closed down once when Carlos tested positive for Covid. Outside of that, they were able to stay open the whole time. They are super cautious when it comes to really infectious stuff like hand foot and mouth disease, but they won't be calling you because of a runny nose and a simple cough. In the end it's really just a handful of families they work with who all have similar attitudes and priorities and that makes a huge difference. They are not just watching the kids. Erika takes great pains to ensure there are engaging and enriching activities for these young ones every single day. They talk to them in both English and Spanish but they don't force it. Every child picks up as much or as little as they want and their preferences are acknowledged and nurtured. My oldest is a math and science guy while the younger one is more of an athlete and a performer and they both loved their time here. Every parent I've talked to has something to say about the food. It's healthy, it's homemade and magically, they can get all the kids to eat their vegetables. You can literally give your child a glass of milk for dinner and that would be enough calories for the day. Finally, I can't guarantee some results, but my oldest was actually reading by the time he left for Kindergarten. I know some of it is down to nature, but it still takes amazing nurturing to bring out such remarkable results. Oh I almost forgot, Run and Fun is the best value for money you can find in Silicon Valley, I guarantee it!!!

It's hard to imagine the last five years without the support and care of Beba and Rada! The first time we visited it was such a beautiful outdoor space and I felt a loving environment from the get-go. They work very hard to provide play-based education in a mixed age setting which has been ideal for both of my children to learn appropriate social, emotional and life skills. They support parents in mny ways as well with their years of experience, patience, and understanding. There have been situations where I didn't know how to handle something with my kids ' developments and they have been a source of wisdom and reassurance. The healthy home cooked meals are a big plus and all the wonderful traditions they teach the kids like celebrating each other's birthdays and graduations and it really is like a little family. We can't recommend Beba and Rada's enough!!

There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for Ms. Jane. She has cared for my children…read moresince they were infants and has been a part of every significant milestone--from crawling to walking to talking to reading. By the time my son started Kindergarten, he was well-prepared and eager to learn, thanks to Ms. Jane's influence. She played a crucial role in his academic and social readiness. Now, as my daughter begins TK, she is equally prepared for school because of Ms. Jane's guidance. Ms. Jane not only prepares children for school, but also lays the groundwork for life, teaching responsibility, manners, respect, and how to care for one another. Her unique ability to connect with children means they both adore and respect her. I often struggled to get my kids to listen at home, but a quick call to Ms. Jane would immediately improve their behavior. My children frequently say that they miss Ms. Jane, and they often draw pictures for her or eagerly share their weekend adventures. Even my son, who has been out of daycare/preschool for over a year, still enjoys visiting her. She has truly become a part of our family--a trusted guardian for our children. While we are so sad to be leaving after six years, we know she will remain a cherished part of our lives, and we will plan to visit often. If I could give her ten stars, I would!

He loved Ms. Jane and her daughter, so much, and actually looked forward to going to daycare, especially since, we were transplants from Tennessee, and had no family around, it was so important to find the best care for him, while we were at work, etc., and Ms. Jane's Daycare, did just that! We always received a warm smile and a hug at the beginning and end of the day, and had great communication at all times. He would show us his art work, and what he learned that day, and was so happy there, until we moved back home to TN. It was bittersweet, but we never forgot about Ms. Jane, her daughter; and all of the amazing things that made Ms. Jane's Daycare, so special. Thank you, Ms. Jane for taking such good care of Zane.

This review has been long overdue. It's been three months since my daughter last attended Happy…read moredaycare, and just today while we were playing, she suddenly said, "Hurry up!" -- the first time I've ever heard her say that. I assumed it was something her new teachers say, but she quickly corrected me: "No, no, Andrea says hurry up!" She then went right back to playing, laughing and calling out, "hurry up hurry up!!" That moment alone speaks volumes about how much Andrea means to my daughter. She started at Happy daycare when she was just 1.5 years old. As a first-time mom, I cried on her first day, and Arti sat with me, gently reassuring me that we just needed to give her time to build trust. I can't express how much it meant knowing they understood this was her first time away from home. Within a week, the tears stopped. On her last day, I was the one still in tears because Andrea wouldn't be caring for my little girl anymore. Andrea is incredibly kind and patient. She cared for my daughter with so much warmth that even on weekends, my little one would ask to go see her and this happened more times than I can count. I never had to worry about food it was all taken care of at the daycare. During a medical emergency with my daughter, both Andrea and Arti stayed with her until I arrived, then remained by my side as we figured out the next steps. My daughter still misses Andrea to this day, and I know she will for a long time.

As an older toddler now, he has learned how to be nice around babies. Overall, Aarti creates a caring environment for the children to learn, play, and become good friends.
