Our family has had such a wonderful experience with Sunnyvale Christian School, and I truly can't…read morerecommend it enough. Both of my daughters first started here during the summer program in 2025, and we loved the summer program so much that it became one of the main reasons we decided to enroll them for the regular school year. I highly recommend the summer program as well! My younger daughter, Cassie, started in the Twos class and is now in the Threes class, while my older daughter, Zoe, started in Kindergarten and is now in First Grade. One of the things I love most about SCS is the small, close-knit community. The class sizes are small enough that everyone really gets to know one another. The preschool teachers know my elementary-aged daughter, the elementary staff know my preschooler, and there is such a wonderful sense that everyone is genuinely involved in caring for your children. I have especially high praise for the preschool program. Miss Luna, Miss Portia, and Miss Linda have been incredibly sweet, thoughtful, patient, and caring with Cassie. You can tell that they are not only wonderful educators, but that they care for the children with the kind of warmth and tenderness you would hope for from a parent or grandparent. As a mom, that means so much to me. I also really appreciate how organized and structured everything is. Seesaw is used in both preschool and elementary, and it has been such a great way for us to stay connected to what the girls are doing at school. We get photos and updates, as well as important announcements, activities, and reminders. The teachers and staff are very accessible and easy to talk to whenever you have a question or concern. For preschool, I also love that they provide healthy snacks throughout the day and give the kids plenty of outdoor and playground time. We have been equally happy with the elementary program. Zoe had Miss Lee for Kindergarten, and we absolutely loved her. She had a wonderful Kindergarten year, and I really enjoyed the community of parents in her class and how involved everyone was. Since starting at SCS, Zoe has grown tremendously. She is much more confident, has become a wonderful reader, has built great friendships, and genuinely enjoys being at school. Another thing I really appreciate is that the children have so many opportunities to grow outside of traditional academics. The Christmas musical involves both the preschool and elementary students, and the elementary students also have opportunities like the talent show. Mrs. Gonzales, the musical director, is excellent at what she does. It is amazing to see what she is able to bring out of the children through the musical program and performances. These experiences give the kids a chance to be creative, perform in front of others, discover their talents, and build so much confidence. The school also offers great enrichment and after-school programs, and I love that the children still get plenty of playground time. One of my favorite things is seeing siblings from different grade levels run into each other on campus. There are so many families with multiple children attending SCS, and I think that says a lot about the school, parents want to keep their children here. I also feel that SCS is very reasonably priced for the amount of care, school hours, enrichment, and community they provide. For our family, it has absolutely been worth it. Most importantly, I love the Christian foundation of the school. The children attend chapel every Wednesday and are learning not only academics, but also about God, faith, kindness, character, and how to be good members of their community. Looking back at how much both of my daughters have grown since starting here, in academics, confidence, friendships, independence, creativity, and faith, I am so grateful that we found Sunnyvale Christian School. I feel like they are being nurtured as whole children: mentally, physically, socially, creatively, and spiritually. We have been very happy here, and I would wholeheartedly recommend SCS to other families.

My daughter was a very shy girl initially but now she is very sociable and also very curious. My daughter currently attends full day three year old class, their curriculum is also very well organized and she learned a lot. Also I would like to mention that she was so excited to attend a Hot Shot sports program by Mr. Dave. I really wish I could send my son here but a waiting list was too long at that time. My son was able to attend their summer school and he was still talking about how excited and interesting it was!

The first few months were tough but the teachers were super supportive and they had an extra assistant teacher who just hung out with her till she got comfortable to join the class. Fast forward to 2025, after completing her TK class here, our daughter is all equipped to join Kinder in a "big school". This year has especially impressive with themes every week, art and songs to go with the theme, lots of reading and writing without worksheets!! Kids learn via play, and love it. They do so much art daily, that you'd have to buy boxes if you decided to preserve them all. :) We also loved the playgrounds in each year, perfect for the age group and separated from other ages to keep them safe. Another plus is the events, they celebrate many festivals, performances for Mother's Day/Father's Day and Christmas! Last but not the least, the staff is amazing! All three classrooms that our daughter went to (sunflower, dragonfly and TK) have had loving and attentive teachers. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Lack of Care for Student Safety and Bullying Incidents Our son had been a happy child at this center until recently, when a new child joined and began repeatedly bullying him. Two weeks ago, I noticed deep marks around my son's eye area. To my shock, none of the teachers had noticed or reported this injury. Fortunately, my son is old enough (4.5 years old) to clearly explain what happened and identify who did it. After I reported the incident to one of the teachers, she took it seriously, showed genuine empathy, and escalated the issue to the director, Jessica. The teacher assured us the matter would be addressed immediately, and her response was caring and professional. Unfortunately, the same child has continued to harass my son and other children. On multiple occasions during pickup, I heard other children independently say things like, "He hit my head again," referring to the same child. This suggests an ongoing pattern, not an isolated incident. What has been most concerning and disappointing is the response from the center director, Jessica, after I submitted a formal complaint. Although she called me promptly, her reaction was defensive, dismissive, and notably lacking in empathy and accountability. Rather than explaining what steps would be taken to prevent further incidents, she immediately questioned the credibility of my son's account, suggesting he might be "imaginative." She refused to take his statement seriously or implement any proactive measures, claiming she could not identify the bully because no teacher had witnessed any of the incidents. This response raises serious concerns about supervision, incident reporting, and the center's commitment to student safety. Dismissing a child's injuries and repeated reports--especially when supported by visible marks in sensitive areas and consistent accounts from multiple children--is unacceptable. Parents trust childcare centers to protect their children and address safety concerns promptly and responsibly, and unfortunately, that trust has been undermined in this case. Therefore, I would not recommend this childcare center.Update: Senior leadership acted promptly to address the issue, and with the support of all teachers and the center director, the bullying behaviors have since been effectively managed.

The staff is very warm and caring, especially from the infant room to the next level. That said,…read moreafter a few months in, the staff seemed kind of disengaged. Frankly, the toddler room felt like a zoo, which is about right since they run it like a business and run the ratios VERY VERY tightly. Kids are a zoo, but it felt like a lot of kids shared the same space...in every room. It's kind of chaotic to have 2-3 groups of kids...in one space. We opted for another preschool nearby and it was night and day (granted, they do not try to fill their classrooms to the brim). But it was one classroom per set of kids (e.g. a teacher and a helper). Not multiple classes rolled up into one. We were sad to leave the warm staff, but very happy to be in a calmer environment. Separately, it was interesting to me how worn down the staff was at the end of the day versus our new school. I don't want to speculate why, but I could sense they were beat.

We are lucky to have had both our kids go through Children's House of Los Altos (CHLA) and get such…read morea great foundation! CHLA offered our kids a perfect balance of freedom to follow their curiosity within a rich, loving guided framework that provided structure. Besides it being a great school for all the obvious reasons like loving and caring teachers, to a well rounded development of the kids' reading/math/science/motor skills, the school also has an amazing art program and music classes. I could talk in length about each of these (e.g. I was shocked when my 4 year old came back home once and started talking about Frank Lloyd Wright and Fallingwater! And another time was shocked how my child was able to basically do multiplication at the age of 4, but not by rote - by understanding the concept of how multiplication is basically addition over and over again). But let me move on because there is one program that deserves a special mention - its called CEC (Cognitive Enrichment Class) and what it is is a term-length project where kids get to build something and be involved in all aspects of that building, and learn about various scientific and technical elements of that. For my son and daughter it was designing their very own wooden cars for a derby race. They spent months designing the car and decorating it and learning about concepts like ramps, and friction, and aerodynamic shapes, and so on. And it all ended in a derby event where all the kids in their class got to bring their cars and the race happened. The kids even measured how far various cars went to put the hypotheses they had developed over the course of the project to the test :) The CEC program basically was the main reason why we kept our younger child in CHLA for one extra year instead of sending her to TK at our local public school. CEC is such an amazing idea - giving kids at such a tender age this opportunity to sink their teeth into a long term project and really grapple with a problem from multiple angles is simply incredible! The school is truly a special place which was started decades ago by a lovely teacher who cared about children and their development. The tradition is being continued by her children and besides education, there is also a focus on the Parent-Teacher-Child community. Through the course of the year there are numerous super fun traditions that bring the teachers and kids and the parents together. Events like the annual Nutcracker show that the kids act in and the teachers put together, the Hoedown event in a local farm where the kids sing and dance and the parents are invited to have a picnic, the Haunted House event around halloween time when the entire school is magically transformed into a maze filled with surprise (and scary) characters, the Music Together concert, the Sip & See where kids walk the parents through their art and the event happens outdoors in a setting that could put an exhibition at the MOMA to shame, and everything else that we have grown to love to dearly! When we were looking for pre-schools for our elder child we had looked at numerous schools in the area and nothing felt right. Some felt overly strict and others were very la-di-dah. And then we chanced upon CHLA which almost felt like a Goldilocks moment, with the right balance of structure and freedom. Now that we've been through the program (twice), we feel that it really is the perfect blend of those elements. We are filled with gratitude for having had both our kids go through CHLA!

They also communicate proactively and helpfully with us parents - via daily paper reports, email, and in-person.

There are lots of activities, everything from field trips to "crazy socks day" "bike day" etc. - plus optional weekly "enrichment" classes from third parties, like music and sports. They also make an effort to build community with things like a teacher costume contest and pumpkin carving contest for Halloween. Day-to-day activities seem to be a good mix of unstructured play and "academic" content. The facility is nice as well, with a spacious outdoor area including playground equipment. My kid always wants to keep playing when I show up for pick-up :) (Her favorite is the sandbox!)

All the teachers have been fantastic! My eldest's first teacher was Mrs. Fang and I thought she was the best teacher possible, so patient and caring, and taught the kids so much. However, I later realized that all their teachers are very good! I was a little worried initially when I found out my younger kid's first teacher wouldn't be in Mrs. Fang's class but again was pleasantly surprised that Mrs. Celia and Mrs. Gul are just as great and he has adapted incredibly fast. The teachers really care for the kids and have immense patience too. He isn't potty trained now, but I imagine like for my eldest, the teachers at Little Tree will train him before he's 3. I remember dreading doing potty training and by the time I thought about starting, turns out they had been practicing at school already so I didn't have to put in any effort. Academics wise I have been incredibly impressed too. They learn a lot of Chinese language and cultural things including poems which I can barely understand. For English, I tried to teach my kid the ABCs and reading the BOB books but over the years I have learned I don't have to do much actually since school has prepares them well. After just 2.5 months I can see my 2 year old has grown a lot and can sing the ABCs, learned to clean up, and communicates much better. My eldest in TK age can really well and even reads me stories now. One of her classmates that changed schools a few months back told me that the new school is not nearly as advanced and didn't realize how much our kids had learned there. When my eldest started transitioning to the next class, I really appreciated how the teachers would take her over to the new class and let her check out the place for 1-2 weeks before the transfer so she can get familiar slowly. The teachers also check that the kids are actually ready to be moved up both emotionally and academically. This was in contrast from my friend's preschool when they would just move kids once they were at the age, and her kid ended up adjusting very well and couldn't catch up with the older kids. We had several transitions and each time very smooth. I also like how the school really celebrates all the holidays and puts on great shows throughout the year, with the Christmas holiday performance being one of the biggest ones. I love watching the kids sing and dance in both English and Chinese. Lastly, the director Mrs. Amanda and teachers are all very cautious with the kids. I get notified if my kids have some scratches or bruises even if they were there in the morning when they got to school. If they fall or bump themselves, they will also tell me. One time my kid got a little pebble up her nose and they were very worried, calling me that they were trying to get her to sneeze it out or else I would need to take her to the doctors. I trust Little tree to take care of my kids well. I know I wrote a bit of a long essay but I just have a lot of positive things to say about them. Overall, highly recommend sending your kids here! I don't believe you will regret the decision.
