Miss Janet is FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL, LOVING, INSPIRATIONAL and a LIFESAVOR!…read more Our Grandson has been attending Janet's Montessori since last September. It was a difficult transition for him since he had no formal schooling prior to this. In fact, this was his first separation being away from his parents. Miss Janet and her staff were patient, loving, nurturing and supportive. Here are a few things you should know if you're considering enrollment: 1) The children are constantly supervised in the house and schoolyard. The place is secured with an adult at all times. The backyard is set up with perfectly for the littles ones. Bright, colorful and cheery. 2) The school is sufficiently supplied with learning materials, and follows through with a structured program. They also have music, exercise classes and story time, learning songs, dance movements and educational sessions. 3) It is preferred if your child is potty-trained but if not, Miss Janet and Staff works with your child. Proof is with my Grandson!!! 4) They are taught to be responsible, listen to instructions and directions. Never saw a child out-of-line. Miss Janet is firm but does it with love and positive reinforcement. 5) If your child is a picky eater like ours, they'll learn to love the homemade meals prepared for by Miss Janet. The meals are healthy and has helped develop tastebuds. 6) Holidays and birthdays are always festive. Miss Janet even has programs set up for the Parents to enjoy including Graduation ceremonies. 7) I have come by to pick up our Grandson at lunchtime a number of times and the children are in TOTAL control. There's no yelling, screaming or disorder. 8) If there is an outbreak of illness, Miss Janet notifies the families and immediately sanitizes everything. For months, my Grandson cried in the mornings because he missed his parents, but there was Miss Janet, nurturing with her arms extended and he went right to her. She even came out of her house once morning because she heard him crying 2 houses away!! Miss Janet is an Angel and as a Grandmother, I wish somebody like her was around for my daughters at this age. She prepares them for TK & Kindergarten. How does she manage with 10-12 kids at a time?? I have no idea but she must be doing something right because whatever she does, IT WORKS!!! Our Grandson will be moving on to TK and I must say, it'll be sad to see him leave such a beautiful and intimate setting with filled with love. My wish is that another child may be as fortunate to be a student under Miss Janet's care. She's amazing and a great blessing to many children, parents AND Grandparents. If you're trying to find something more affordable, please keep in mind that old adage...."You get what you pay for"....and we got our monies worth and more from Miss Janet and her staff. They're worth every penny. Thank you to Miss Janet, for being such a special stepping stone for our Grandson! YOU and your fantastic staff made success happen for him. WE LOVE MISS JANET!!!

Words can't even begin to express how grateful I am for Miss Janet's Montessori school. My son was…read morevery nervous to begin preschool and she took so much time and showed so much patience getting him acclimated. My son has learned so much in preparing for TK. She focuses on areas that need improvement for each individual child and he comes home telling us all the things he's learned and is working on. She has helped him build his skills in writing, drawing, and different subjects. My son comes home singing songs he's learned and utilizing skills he learned at school in the home setting, which is so rewarding. Miss Janet celebrates all of them throughout the school year and keeps great communication with the parents. Miss Janet also provides the kids healthy meals. My son is a picky eater but she's managed to feed him nutritious and veggie filled meals that my son absolutely loves! She has wonderful additional teachers that come by to assist and teach the kids as well. Miss Janet and her staff always demonstrate so much compassion and love for her students. She takes pride in knowing that each child is being cared for and is thriving in a safe and loving environment.

My family has been part of milestone academy since 2021. My oldest and my nephew graduated in 2023…read moreand my middle child graduated in 2024. My youngest is still currently attending. We have never had any issues with the staff at Milestone. All 3 of my kids along with my nephew are very vocal and have strong personalities. They will be the first the tell us if they got in trouble, if the teacher told them not to do something, etc. My kids absolutely adore the teachers there and loved attending. I have been by to pick them up or drop stuff off to my kids at various times during the day and have never witnessed anything inappropriate. The staff goes above and beyond to communicate with my husband and I whether it's an illness my kids are experiencing, a new project they completed, an upcoming holiday party, or to simply just share pictures. If my kids are out of school for an extended period of time due to illness or vacation they always reach out to check on them or even just to say they miss us. At a very young age my kids were taught how to read, write, count, and learn many other skills most kids learn during or after kindergarten. My kids' teachers at their new school always talk about how advanced and smart my older 2 kids and my nephew are. I'm grateful to the staff for the wonderful education and care they provide.

Our son has been at Milestone for almost one year now and he has made tremendous progress in his development.

Thank you Ms. Lim, Ms. Khin, Ms. Sandar, Ms. Mijad and Ms. Moe for all your care and affection towards your students. My wide and I are more than grateful for all the things this preschool has done for our boy.

7 years later - we're back! My son's first day at Village was 3 days after his 2nd birthday (yay…read morefor taking kids that aren't potty trained!!!) He loves the school as much as his sister did. Upgrades: The school has been upgraded a bit since my daughter was here which is fabulous. There's new play structures, new furniture, revolving imagination role play section, tons of new books and toys. Parent Involvement: The parents are just as involved as they were back in my daughter's village days too. It truly is just like having your friends watch your kid(s). Parents prep snacks, supervisor play areas and do projects. The creativity of parents is amazing - the help to come up with new snack ideas and projects is also amazing for those that aren't as creative. For snacks, the kids have had pancakes, DIY parfait cups, cold press juices and smoothies (made during project and tasted during snack time!)and delicious banana scones. Projects have been everything from cutting fruit for snacks to self portraits New "Friends": Our son refers to his classmates as his "best friends" and looks forward to seeing them every school day. He carried around his class photo pointing and telling us the names of each of his new friends. Field Trips: The monthly field trips are a great way to get out of the classroom. We've gone to the SF Zoo, a fire station, a rodeo, a pumpkin patch, the library, aquarium and even did a grocery store scavenger hunt! It's such a treat when the parents have just as much fun as the kiddos.

It went well connecting with Wendy at the time to tour the preschool. The preschool is extremely…read moreclean with beautiful children art decor hanging and all the children's cute fun art projects. Wendy answered and clarified all the questions I had regarding the school and fees etc. My son has been going to Village for a year now and it has been an absolute joy, and I'm so grateful to have found such a loving community of parents. I'm grateful for the amazing, reliable, and nurturing teachers that help care, comfort, and teach my boy. I will definitely be enrolling my other little boy next year!

Great place to start off your child's school journey! We've been with Latchkey for about two years…read morenow. My son started in the preschool (Teddy Bear) program and just graduated from the pre-K class (Dinosaurs). The staff are extremely nice and caring. Shoutout to Ms. Nicole, Mr. Matt, Ms. Sonia, Ms. Harris and all the other teachers who make Latchkey great. They've created a warm environment for my child to thrive. I'm confident that my child will be ready for Kindergarten this fall and all the friends he's made at Latchkey will carry on since it's attached to the elementary school. Tuition is very reasonable for the Bay Area ($1,515 per month at the time of this posting), and lunch/snacks are included. Hours are great for working families, basically the whole day from 7am-6pm. The facilities, which are two bungalows, seem to be on the older side, however, they do keep it tidy and feels homey. If you're in Daly City and looking for an affordable and family run preschool, Latchkey is the way to go! I will definitely send my second kid there once he's old enough.

We absolutely love the Latch Key Alternative Center! Mr. Matt and his team are truly outstanding…read more He is incredibly responsive, supportive, and genuinely cares about the families he serves. As a single mom, finding a reliable after-school program and summer camp is essential, and Mr. Matt went above and beyond to guide us through the enrollment process and help us get into the Latch Key Center. My children are currently enrolled in the summer program, and they have been having an amazing experience. The center offers a wide variety of activities and exciting field trips, keeping the kids engaged, active, and having fun. My kids are truly enjoying their summer this year. The entire staff is friendly, caring, and dedicated to creating a positive environment for the children. I cannot thank Mr. Matt enough for all of his support and assistance. We are so grateful to be part of the Latch Key family and highly recommend this program to other parents!

My son attended Young World from age 3 to 4. I was very impressed with Young World. The director is…read morecommunicative, and the teachers really focus on the children's needs. My son grew a lot during this time. He learned to write his name, count to 100, and say the days of the week and months of the year. I love that they have language programs as well. Having him learn Mandarin at school was such a joy. The food is nutritious, and the school performances were so fun. We're grateful that he had such a loving experience before going to TK. And the hours (7am to 6pm) are great for working parents. Thank you, Young World!

I was referred the Young World by a colleague of mine whose daughter had previously attended the…read moreschool. My husband and I are both happy with the childcare that Young World has provided for our kids. Our daughter (4) and son (1) have been attending the school since they were infants (at 8 months and 6 months). We appreciate the fact that the kids follow a daily schedule and have a routine. We also like the curriculum that the school provides. Over the years, we have seen our daughter develop mentally and academically. Thanks to the teachers there, she has learned a lot. She's learned her shapes, alphabet, numbers, colors, writing, etc. Aside from the curriculum, the kids have a bit of fun too. They play outside in the playground and do a ton of art projects. During holidays, kids will get to celebrate (dress up for Halloween, Easter egg hunt, etc.) Pre-Covid, the school would bring in performers (magicians, lion dancers, etc.) and the kids would also put on a yearly Christmas show for family. The school also just started using an app where they send photos/updates and messages to parents so you can keep in touch with the staff and see how your child is doing. Sure, we have seen staff turnover, but there are a few teachers who have been there since our daughter started. It's great to know that these teachers are now watching our son. Both kids do come home sick occasionally, but that's just the nature of going to school. The school does do a deep cleaning at the end of the week. Now with Covid, they are even taking more precautions to make sure everyone stays healthy and safe. Overall, we have been happy with Young World.

Every morning our sons run into school, genuinely so excited to see their teachers and friends. They love it here so much we have a hard time getting them to leave every evening! They also provide very effective potty-training support, resulting in both of my boys being successfully trained shortly after they turned 2 years old. We look forward to the events throughout the year (Halloween parade, Holiday show, Lunar New Year celebration, to name a few). We highly recommend Little Hugs to families who are looking for a trusted preschool for their little ones.

She is genuinely excited to go to school now! She loves her teachers and friends, and we've seen her confidence skyrocket under Miss Gracie's care. What I appreciate most is the thoughtful balance between play and structured learning. They focus on the 'whole child,' everything from manners and hygiene to the fundamentals like numbers and letters. Beyond the curriculum, the community here is incredible. Between the Chinese New Year celebrations and other events throughout the year, the school goes above and beyond to bring parents together. It's rare to find a preschool that prioritizes building a real community like this, and we feel so lucky to be a part of it.
