Updating review for Older Infants classroom…read more My son started in the infant classroom at 7 months and transitioned to the older infants class at 12 months. Older infants is for children 12-18 months. The transition was so smooth! He slowly visited the older infants class and was able to get to know the teachers and the classroom before he formally started. This classroom is all about routine vs the infant class where everything is done off baby's cues and their personal/parent routine. Our son quickly adapted and thrived off having a set routine. The other big change is being able to go outside to the toddler playground which is separate from the older children. When our son transitioned he was unable to walk yet but quickly picked it up soon after moving classes. It's amazing how the teachers are able to do so much with such young toddlers. From sitting all together for circle time, to the endless art projects, to gross motor activities. We are constantly kept up to date via the app and the teachers always tell us about his day at pickup. Our son loves his teachers and is always happy to see Ms. Chua at drop off, who welcome him with open loving arms. Ms. Iris always gives such great updates at pick up. And Ms. Yali has been such a great addition to the class. Overall, we'd one thousand percent recommend Primrose!

We've known and used this daycare since my son was in Kindergarten, he's a little older now and sees this place as his second family. The owners are consistently kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the well-being of the kids. You can tell they truly care about the families who trust them with their children. I don't have family nearby, and even if I did, this place feels more like family. Knowing that my kids are cared for by people who truly look out for them brings me so much comfort. I'm deeply thankful for the love and support they've shown to my family.

Under Mrs. Cici and Mrs.Huang's care, she quickly adapted into the new environment, and enjoyed going to daycare everyday. The daycare provides both breakfast and lunch, which is a lifesaver for busy young couples like my husband and I. They have a full variety of activities and celebrations throughout the year. They celebrated mother's and father's days by taking photos for parents and kids and let the kids brought them back home with frames; they celebrated new year with a potluck party and gifts; they celebrated Valentine's Day with gifts and balloons.... All these celebrations are great memories for both the kids and families. I strongly recommend you contact and book a tour to visit this daycare.

He has been going there since he was a year old and has really bonded with the caretakers here (especially Miss Cici). We can see how much love and care they put towards taking care of the kids and Miss Michelle really puts in thought towards planning out fun seasonal activities for the kids (my son loves the summer water play!). Overall, would highly recommend this daycare for your kids. They do a good job at giving us daily updates on our son's activities, photos of the day and if/when he may be starting to get sick. My son has picked up a lot of skills since he started going here and also naps better there than he does at home!

Our…read morefirst meeting with Ms. Janani went really well, she provided us with all the information about the school, teachers, activities for the kids/infants, policies, communication between parents and teachers and of course the safety precautions they have been following during the pandemic. We enrolled our son when he was about 7 months old and its been a great experience so far. Teachers are very diligent, always keeps us up to date with pictures, videos and promptly communicates via the app throughout the day which is awesome. My baby is having a lot of fun there and gets excited every morning when we drop him off. I highly recommend The Little Butterflies daycare to all parents.

I can't say enough about my experience with TCDS. We have had an amazing experience with this…read moredaycare! We have been with them for over 10 years, both of our daughters joined this pre-school since they were two years old. They have taken such good care of our two daughters, and the peace of mind they have given us as parents is priceless. The curriculum is exceptional. They focus on letting children learn through real hands-on experiences rather than just sitting at a desk. Kids come home excited every day to share what they explored and discovered. Their after school program is also great providing support on homework. The teachers are warm, caring, and truly dedicated, I could name each of them and only express my gratitude for all the love they have given to our daughters. One of the best parts is the very low staff turnover. Seeing the same familiar faces every day creates a stable, loving environment where kids feel safe and happy.We are so grateful for this wonderful school. We recommend it to any family looking for high-quality care and early education.

The fact that she gets sad on the weekends when there's no school speaks volumes.

We love TCDS so much that we are opting to continue with TK next year and plan on sending our youngest daughter when she's eligible. I wholeheartedly recommend TCDS to any parents who are looking for a nurturing, enriching environment for their kiddo!

Miss Rosie is incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely loves the children. From the very beginning, she made both my daughter and me feel comfortable and supported. My daughter struggled with separation anxiety during her first few months, which was very difficult as a mom. Miss Rosie was so patient, understanding, and reassuring. She took the time to comfort my daughter every day and always kept me confident that she was in caring hands. Over time, the transformation has been amazing. My daughter now absolutely loves Miss Rosie and looks forward to going to daycare every morning. Seeing her run in happily is something I never imagined during those early days, and it speaks volumes about the nurturing environment they provide. I also appreciate that the children are served nutritious meals and snacks, and the daily activities are both fun and educational. The curriculum encourages learning through play, and I've seen my daughter grow socially, emotionally, and developmentally. The new play area that was introduced last month is a wonderful addition--it gives the kids even more opportunities to explore, stay active, and enjoy their day. I'm truly grateful for the love, patience, and dedication Miss Rosie and her team show every child. Knowing my daughter is safe, happy, and excited to learn every day gives me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.

This gave me great peace of mind--my 2-year-old daughter gets the comfort of a home-based setting while still having a clearly defined daycare environment. Mrs. Rosie is extremely professional, experienced, and genuinely empathetic with the kids. Her communication is clear and reassuring, and both she and the other teachers were very patient and supportive during my daughter's transition period--and continue to be even now. The biggest sign of how much we love this place is how excited my daughter is every morning to go to daycare. She truly enjoys being there. Mrs. Rosie also provides home-cooked meals, which my daughter happily finishes almost every day. We chose a home-based daycare for the smaller group size and more personalized attention, and Happy Kids has exceeded our expectations. We are very happy with our decision and highly recommend Happy Kids to any parent looking for a caring and well-run daycare.

When she finally got out of the hospital, she needed special care 24*7. When we got to the point that all she needed was daily physical therapy we considered it a win. Through it all, we could never find a care provider we could trust to handle her special needs... until we found Horizon. At Horizon they have staff with more than 20 years of experience in early childhood development. They carefully assess every child in their care and provide a nurturing environment that caters to the child's specific needs. My daughter thrived at Horizon because of the expertise the staff provides. She learned and grew and was loved by everyone there. I have three children who have all had different childcare experiences in Pleasanton, and Horizon is universally the best. It's not just a daycare. It's a loving home away from home and a local institution. We owe them everything for how they supported our daughter and all of her peers while they were there. There is literally no better care in the Tri-valley than Horizon. Get on the waitlist and know that it's worth the wait.

To say Montessori School of Pleasanton changed our life is an understatement!…read more My kids both started at MSP starting age 2.5 in primary classrooms (2019-2025). Lucie was in Cedar and Rafa was with Ms Molly at Maple. Both kids had the absolute best foundational learning possible. They had a fantastic well rounded curriculum - everything from sewing work, writing in cursive, reading, math and lots of art and learning about the world. My kids were well prepared for elementary school (& ahead of the curve esp with kinder learning from MSP). Also, I loved having my 2.5 year olds with 5-6 years olds then becoming the older kids!! The kids learn so much from each other in this excellent model. I want to especially acknowledge and thank Ms. Molly. She is simply a gift to the universe with her demeanor. She is kind, caring, loving and has the right set of expectations for our children. I kept Rafael in Kinder year with her and it was one of the best years of our family life. He grew as a leader and took accountability for his work. He thrived under Ms. Molly's teaching. We are extremely grateful for MSP and all the staff for giving my children the best launch pad.
