She also has a huge backyard and many outdoor toys for the kids to play with. I really appreciate all the pictures and videos she would send of my son. She sends them regularly and not just when your child starts out at the daycare. I loved seeing how much fun he was having and how much he was learning. My son also learned a lot more at YIM than my eldest at our previous daycare. She taught him all his letter sounds really early on and how to write numbers, he attended YIM from 2-4 years old. My son made a lot of friends from the daycare who we are still close to today! My only regret is that my daughter wasn't able to attend YIM.

Great place to start your kiddos on their educational journey.

The teachers are incredibly friendly and treat the children more like family members than just students. The days are so well-organized with a great variety of structured and timely activities, including circle time, dancing, yoga, arts and crafts, and plenty of engaging sensory play. Plus, the play area is a huge hit--our daughter looks forward to playing there every day! A very special thanks to Miss Lavanya, who has formed such a beautiful bond with our daughter. My daughter talks about Miss Lavanya all the time at home in the evenings and on weekends, which speaks volumes about the warmth, care, and genuine connection she offers. We also want to thank Miss Manisha for her fantastic management--everything is always so well-planned, structured, and seamlessly organized. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our child here. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching environment!

The teachers are so loving and yet have a great way of inculcating discipline and good behavior. In my son's time here, he learned to talk, write, read so well and they greatly set him up ready for kindergarten. The whole atmosphere of the school is extremely homely and teachers pay individual attention to students given the relatively smaller class sizes. This helped a ton because my son was quite young while here. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the school and will thoroughly miss it. Huge shout out to Ms Atorin, Ms Stephanie and Ms Maria who go over and beyond. Ms Jessica was also great, but has since moved on to pursue another opportunity.

Classroom size's seem spacious, the playground is insanely big, facilities seem fine, but need updating. I don't think I'd gel with the director's personality, she seems a bit picky and difficult, like for example if I had my feedback or concerns to be shared or say my kid doesn't have a good day, I would find myself likely debating with her, as she seems quite black and white but that is my feeling and my gut is usually right. Lots of indian children in this school, an observation. It is home based but they really designed it as a center. Overall, meh, for the price I found better places.

My 5 year old son started at ms Grace's when he was about 2.5yo and my daughter as well, we are moving to the east coast soon and we are so sad to be leaving her school. My daughter loves her so much and comes home telling me how much she loves Ms. Grace :) my son is always eager to go back and visit. She really has impacted both my children in positive ways and has taught them how to be respectful, kind, confident, and patient little ppl - on top of the early school learning from the alphabet to numbers, colors, etc. They have educational toys, books, and a great playground for all ages! They make sure your kids are well fed and hydrated throughout the day and provide lunch. Ms Grace thinks of everything and you can rest assured your kids are well taken care of. We are so lucky and grateful to have found Grace's Little preschool over 3 years ago and have so many good things to say about this place - if you are looking for a place for your child to blossom and flourish in the best ways possible and also have a good teacher to student ratio, it's right here :) she never takes more than 8-9 kiddos at a time so there is 4 kids to an adult. The kids get a lot of individual attention, she caters to what their needs are and will always meet them where they are in development. We love you ms Grace and teacher John! You will be missed. Thank you for everything!! :)

Our 3.5 year old son has been enrolled with Teacher Grace and Teacher John for a little over half a…read moreyear now, and we are super happy with our experience. The facility itself is on a residential street, a single room, set apart from the main house, with windows, heating, and its own child-friendly bathroom. It's close enough to El Camino and 92 to be convenient, but far enough that there is no discernible air pollution. There is a large outdoor play structure, and plenty of kid-size toy cars and space to "drive" around. Our son was pretty isolated during Covid, but warmed to his preschool routine very quickly thanks to this team, and looks forward to going each day. Whilst the day is mostly play-based, there is still instruction. I still remember when he came back early on, and had learned to properly hold a pen, and color in the lines! Now, he works on writing letters, numbers, and easy Chinese characters. We have our son enrolled in a combination of full and half-days, and they have been very flexible accommodating our schedule as we've adapted to our hybrid schedules. Our son is 'day-time' potty trained, and they've been very helpful helping us transition off the nap-time diaper.

The love and care she has for the children is admirable. She is highly organized providing monthly learning curriculum, activities and festivities to keep the children involve.

First, drop-off and pick-up are always efficient, with plenty of parking and quick, smooth health and safety checks. The daily schedule offers a perfect balance of learning, creativity, and play, with time for snacks, lunch, and a nap. The age-appropriate rules and routines help the kids mature and prepare for the future. Ms. Roxy provides enriching and engaging activities, including a wonderful array of toys and a spacious yard for outdoor play. Each month features a new learning theme, and I absolutely love the daily art projects they create. Thanks to Choo Choo Train, all of my children learned the fundamentals of reading and writing and were exceptionally well-prepared for kindergarten. They continue to excel in school. What stands out the most is the nurturing environment Ms. Roxy fosters. She helps the children develop strong relationships, listens to them, plays with them, and supports their growth. Each of my children has formed a personal bond with her. Choo Choo Train Preschool, with Ms. Roxy at the helm, has truly been an extension of our family, laying the foundation for my children to become kind, confident, and contributing members of society. We are forever grateful.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, we knew we had found something special. The school's approach to communication with children is truly remarkable. The teachers consistently demonstrate a level of respect and patience that is both refreshing and inspiring. It's clear that they view each child as deserving of kindness and understanding, and as unique individuals. One of the standout features of the school is its meticulously organized environment. The classrooms are thoughtfully arranged to promote independence, curiosity, and learning. It's a joy to see how this structured setting allows children to flourish and develop essential life skills. Also, the teachers here have been nothing short of amazing, and have been so kind to all of us. Perhaps the most telling sign of the school's success is the happiness of the children. The children are always smiling and engaged. Our daughter's enthusiasm for school has skyrocketed since joining a year and a half ago, and she quickly gained a confidence and independence that we did not see at the precious school. We were so impressed that we enrolled our younger child as well, and the results have been equally fantastic. Our little one now eagerly anticipates school each day.. seriously, she can't wait to go to school, no tears!

Both my girls absolutely thrived here and learned so much - they were both reading towards the end of their third year here, knew their numbers and counting and were even naming all the various countries in the map of South America! There is also a lot of focus on building social skills, grace and courtesy, and valuable life lessons like conflict resolution on the playground. Their 3 yrs here really prepared them for elementary school and helped them start kindergarten feeling very prepared and confident. The parent community has been wonderful as well with both our children and us having made many friends over the years. If you are looking for a Montessori preschool for your child I highly recommend this one.
