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.

I appreciate that Aarti sends frequent updates, and we even got a video of my child taking his first steps at the daycare. She also reads to the children daily, and now my child enjoys listening to books at home. When he was younger, he learned a lot from interacting with the older toddlers. 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.

After five wonderful years, it's hard to put into words just how much this place has meant to our family. The daycare truly felt like a family to us. Johana and her team are incredible--they have a unique way of keeping the kids happy, creating an environment where they learn to be kind, respectful, and well-behaved, also progressing quickly in letters, numbers, words. Both my kids became fluent in Spanish without any of us speaking Spanish at home. We never had to worry about anything; they took care of everything, from providing nutritious meals to organizing fun parties, including unforgettable birthday celebrations and even the beautiful graduation ceremony. As our son graduates, we look back on these years with deep gratitude. This daycare isn't just a place where children go; it's a community where they thrive. We highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, caring, and enriching environment for their child.

I've been reflecting a lot on our experience here, and just wanted to say "Thanks" again to the whole staff for making this such an amazing place for the kids. When we started here, we were excited for our kiddo to learn Spanish. He not only learned a ton of Spanish, but also reading, writing, math, and an appreciation for different kinds of foods! Johana and team helped him with potty training and social skills, and celebrated big milestones along the way. He's been so lucky to have had this daycare experience. The community of parents and kids here is supportive, involved and generous of spirit. We're so sad to have to say goodbye. Our family is eternally grateful. If you have a chance to send your kids here, I would grab the opportunity. It's been life changing for our kiddo.

When he first started at age 1, he couldn't even walk. Now at 3.5, he is running, talking in 3 languages (Mandarin, Cantonese & English), cackling and such a happy little boy. Sina has guided him through every milestone, and I trust her 100% with my baby. She genuinely loves and cares for each of the kids under her care, and my son has truly thrived. He's barely gotten sick if ever from daycare due to Sina's care (and great protocols during COVID), and he loves to eat Sina's delicious and nutritious cooking. She provided all the utensils cups etc so everything was super easy for us. She also shared tons of adorable pics and videos of the kids regularly. Given the small class size, each kid is able to enjoy a lot of attention and care. Her pricing is extremely fair and affordable, and she is a wonderful, kind and reasonable person. We plan to send my daughter to Sina as well next year after my maternity leave. I highly recommend Sina and Grace Daycare to anyone who's looking for a reliable, cozy & loving home-based bilingual daycare in Sunnyvale!

We are so grateful to Early Horizons Preschool and especially to Nito, Stefanie, and Kylee for…read morebeing such incredible directors. Finding a daycare that could safely accommodate our son's medical complexity including G-tube feeding was extremely challenging, especially for an infant. From the very beginning, the team at Early Horizons went above and beyond to provide not only excellent care, but also genuine love, support, and nurturing for both of our children. Special shoutout to Teacher Crystal and Teacher Kristen in the infant room, and Teacher Jennie and Andreina in the toddler room. These individuals are absolutely amazing, and we fully trust them with our children. They are so nurturing and loving, and you can truly tell they enjoy what they do and have a genuine love for kids. Our son attended from 10 months old until he was 2 1/2, and our daughter started at just 5 months and stayed until she was 2. Both of them thrived in this environment, and as parents, we always felt reassured knowing they were in such capable and compassionate hands. As they reached each milestone, the amazing teachers celebrated with them. This was so heartwarming as it revealed how much our children meant to them. One thing we especially appreciated was the consistent updates throughout the day--feedings, snack times, and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind and helped us feel connected, even when we were apart. We never felt like we were missing out on their growth and development. If it weren't for changes in our family situation and commute, we would absolutely still be there. Early Horizons will forever hold a special place in our hearts and sets the highest standard for all daycare centers and schools. We highly recommend Early Horizons Preschool to any family looking for a safe, supportive, and loving environment for their children. One final note-- our son's Occupational Therapist, who's been working with children for nearly two decades, paid a visit to Early Horizons to assess the environment to provide strategies to maximize our son's abilities. Verbatim, she said, "I've never seen a daycare that is more caring and accommodating than this one". Cheers to the best daycare ever! Thanks for the core memories!

They also do a different theme every week with activities to go with it! Couldn't ask for a better daycare honestly. We're so glad we found this place!

Liz has done a great job of creating a warm, safe, and structured place for children to learn, play, and grow. My daughter started there at 16 months, and on her very first day felt so comfortable and welcomed, that as soon as she saw the inside of FSLH and felt its warmth, she walked right in and didn't even look back to say goodbye! Not to say there weren't some tough days, as it can be challenging for young kids to understand that parents have to work, but Liz and her staff are all so loving and nurturing, and keep the children so engaged with fun learning activities and play time, that the children, much like mine, quickly adapt. Fast forward through the infant/ toddler programs to her recent "graduation" from the FSLH preschool program at age 4, and my daughter knows her letters, numbers , and knows how to write her name-- she is so ready for TK! I should mention that Liz and her staff also provide instruction in Spanish, so my daughter was able to learn and practice two languages while there. Also provided are two delicious and healthy meals (breakfast and lunch) and an afternoon snack, which my daughter and her FSLH friends enjoyed, but was also such a huge help and relief for me, as a busy single working Mom, not to have to worry about preparing those meals. As a first time Mom, I also felt very fortunate to have the support of someone like Liz with years of experience as a Mom, educator, and a daycare provider...and so I feel I learned a lot from FSLH, as did my daughter. Most importantly, and the best part of First Steps Learning Home, is that the staff always made my daughter feel so loved and special, from the moment she walked through the door every morning at drop off, until it was time to say goodbye at pick-up. Thank you, Ms. Liz, Ms. Alejandra, Ms. Paola and all of the wonderful FSLH staff throughout the years that made my daughter's daycare/preschool experience such a success and one that we will always cherish.

Miss Liz and Miss Alejandra have been exceptional in their care and attention. Their genuine affection for each child is apparent in everything they do. They create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where each child feels valued and loved. Their dedication to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment is truly commendable. The family-like feel of the daycare is something I particularly cherish. There's a palpable sense of community and connection among the staff, children, and parents. It's this environment that has made my son's time here so enriching and joyful. My son and I do not speak Spanish so I can't overlook the incredible benefit of my son becoming bilingual thanks to the immersive language experience at First Steps Learning. The language-rich environment provided by Miss Liz has played a crucial role in his language development, and I couldn't be happier with his progress. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better daycare experience for my son. First Steps Learning has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I am grateful for the positive impact it has had on my sons growth and development. If you're looking for a place where your child will be cared for, cherished, and encouraged to learn and thrive, I highly recommend First Steps Learning. We miss you FSL!!!

The space is consistently clean and welcoming, with a lovely backyard playground.

My wife and I would heartily recommend this place! Belen's is tight-knit and really well run. The student teacher ratio is well-maintained and each kid gets personalized attention. They have ample outdoor space for kids to play, and kids do really creative, artsy and well thought-out projects/activities each day. They provide nourishing home-made meals for breakfast, lunch and snacks of really high quality, taking into account restrictions for each kid individually. Pickups and dropoffs have clear communication, such that it feels like they're working together as a team - they always ask how our daughter slept, whether she had breakfast, etc. on pickup and on dropoff, tell whether there were any issues they had to work through. Even when I say all the above, I don't think I am capturing well enough how far and beyond Belen has gone consistently to give an exceptional experience to our daughter (and other kids). Belen helped our daughter settle in properly to naptimes, and since she wasn't sleep trained, took additional steps to get her comfortable. We noticed how far our daughter progressed over two years with their play-based learning and lastly, our daughter's birthday party celebration and farewell will be memorable experiences we will forever cherish. Our daughter attended Belen's from 14mo to 3yr. She developed an affectionate bond with Belen and her family, and every single day, looked forward to going to Belen's and catching up with her friends there - in short, she was happy. Ultimately, that told us everything about how great a place this is.
