We were fortunate to have discovered Village Little for our daughter. My daughter attended Village…read moreLittle Preschool until TK, and she really liked going to school every day. The teachers and staff there are very supportive of the child's growth and needs. The school also offers a nice playground in the back and a large open grass area in front of the school for kids to play and explore nature during playtime. In addition to regular class activities, Village Little also offers educational sports programs where kids can enroll weekly. These programs introduce kids to a variety of sports, build confidence, and help them develop a love of fitness from a young age. My daughter comes home and shows us what she learned that week, and it puts a smile on our faces that she had fun and learned something new each week. Village Little also goes above and beyond during special holidays and summer to provide meaningful events for the kids. For example, while my daughter was there, they hosted a petting zoo day where locals brought in small animals (rabbits, sheep, turtles, etc.), bouncing house day where kids can jump in spacious and good quality bounce houses with slides, a magic day where kids saw a magician demonstrate various magic tricks, etc. My daughter loved all these special events and had a great time. My daughter had a great time at VL, and we were very pleased with the school overall.

Both of our kids had great experiences at village little preschool. Miss Janice who left a few…read moreyears is such a great teacher and she was so kind and sweet also super patient. We are also so lucky to have Miss Lulu as star teacher who showed love and kindness to our kid. She also knows how to handle kids and make kids follow her instruction without hard feelings. My kid developed and grew a lot over a year and we are so appreciated Miss Joanna is another great teacher who taught my other kid a few years ago and she was very supportive. Whenever my kid was a bit upset she would bring her out and shoot very nice photos for her and found way to Make her happy. That is sweet and made her feel great

Update: appleseed Dunford 800 We've been here for half a…read moreyear now and it's great. My son never got sick from here, it's very clean. And the teachers are very caring and responsible. There's field trips and special events all the time. They take feedback well and very responsive to concerns. Administration is on top of their job for sure. Great work ethic top down throughout the staff body. My son also got a lot more independent and can play alone now, which is life saving for the second born home life transition. Student body is mostly Chinese, American born chinese, Caucasian, and Indian. Most of kids here are pretty well behaved, and we haven't heard any bullying problems. Fellow parents are all very respectful and offers help. Overall it's a positive atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Appleseed Montessori was the best decision for my child. I had him enrolled in Nov 2021 when he was…read more18 months old. He was under the care of Ms Maria, Ms Ericka and Ms Ana in Room 4A and he loved every moment of it! His teachers cared so much for him and I was able to see that he was actively learning through jobs, art, parallel play right from the start. His teachers even helped him eat when he was still adjusting to eating on his own - which was huge for me. He then moved into Room 2 in 2023 and while it took a while for him to get adjusted, I could actively work with his teachers on potty training, eating habits and general well being. Both Ms Diane and Mrs Sanghera are wonderful and caring teachers who handle transitions seamlessly and ensure the kids are having a good time! You can always ask the teachers for an update and they'll have something specific to say - that always made me feel like they have an eye on every kid. My child has made so many friends here and I'm ever grateful for that. The school is led by Ms Michaella, an excellent administrator. She manages the staff, interacts wonderfully well with the students, and actively engages with the parents. The school also organizes many events (halloween parade, annual day, PJs day..) which is fun for both kids and parents (if you like being part of the activities). They have partnered with Amazing Athletes so it's easy to get the kids interested in many sporting endeavors. The school also has lunch meals provided through a partner service but I did not opt for it - I liked sending lunch with my kid. On the whole, one of the best places to keep your child healthy and safe. True value for your money!

My family had the best experience at LAPMS for my son. We moved back in the area and wanted to…read morecontinue his Montessori school learning so we enrolled him for the school year before he goes to TK. This was a fairly new school and it was the most affordable Montessori school in the area. The tour went well and Ms Lana helped us feel at ease that he would be getting great care and education with them. The classrooms were clean and the learning materials seemed very contemporary. Our son adjusted well after a couple weeks and we started to see a great improvement socially and academically and his feelings about school completely changed as well. He was half day initially, but we decided to extend after he was potty trained. He grew to love going to school and eventually during pick up, he'd hide behind his fingers which he explained "I was hiding because I want to stay at school". He loved his teachers and I can tell he got the individualized care he needed. I know my son's time here has made a lasting impression on his educational journey and we would recommend this school to any parent looking for a quality, affordable Montessori school in the area :)

School play area is very big, clean and kids friendly. This is my son's first preschool experience and he is loving his school and teachers so much and wants to go to school everyday. We were concerned about our son's first experience at the school but everything was good. He has made a good progress not only academically but also emotionally and socially with the support of teachers and caring school staff. His teachers Ms. Erica & Ms. Alice both are very caring and loving teachers. Both teachers are extremely knowledgeable in child psychology and early childhood development. Each teacher has their own unique qualities.I always saw them following hygiene level among kids and keeping everything super clean. School staff is also very kind, supportive and welcoming. A big thanks to Ms. Lana who kept updating by calling each day regarding our son. Teachers and staff both are very caring and always keep you posted for the betterment of your child. School just celebrated Easter and kids had lots of fun during egg hunting. My son was super happy and excited. Thank you so much for making such lovely memories for my son. I am really thankful and grateful for both teachers Ms. Erica and Ms. Alice and the school staff for their kindness, support and love to my son. Highly recommended this school for your child!

This is a review of the infant room. It seems like people had better experiences in the older…read morerooms. My daughter attended for 4 months. Here is why we left: -I felt like the quality of care in the infant room was really lacking. Nearly every time that I would pick up my daughter, other babies would be screaming and crying on the floor, all being ignored. It was very upsetting to see and it made me wonder what the staff would do when parents weren't present if they were OK with me seeing that. -DeLor is closed every year for a week between August and September, that is very challenging with a two parent work schedule. -I felt like there were unsafe sleep practices in the infant room (blankets in cribs, babies left unattended, they do have two Type A citations for this which you can look up online here: https://secure.dss.ca.gov/CareFacilitySearch/ -general lack of communication. There were sometimes new teachers with no mention of names, slow to communicate about illnesses in the room. Back in the day my family loved this place, but it is no longer the same. All that being said, the owners are both very friendly and nice and were open to hearing my feedback when I withdrew my daughter.

I highly recommend Little Tree Cupertino to my friends when they mention they're looking for a…read morepreschool. I've been coming since 2022 and have both kids enrolled. 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.

All the teachers at Little Tree are very knowledgeable at what they do, from Ms. Amanda the head teacher to Ms. Bai at the front desk, to Ms. Fang and Ms. Celia in the toddler's classroom, to Ms. Ola and Ms. Christine in the intermediate class, to Ms. Christina and Ms. Saras in the TK class, all of them have spent quality time with Adam and taught him valuable life lessons. My second son Jacob is growing fast and I will definitely consider placing him in Little Tree at Cupertino again for pre-K. All in all I highly recommend this school as the place for little kids to learn and grow!

My son experienced a week backup care in this place, which caused some problems. I think teachers…read moreare nice but also stressful. I don't recommend any parents send their infant to this provider because of two reasons: 1. The infant room is SUPER noisy, and teachers let infants cry. I don't know why but it's always very noisy no matter what time I visit. Sometimes teachers are so busy and let multiple kids cry for a long time. My son usually doesn't cry at home and all nannies say he is a very calm boy, but after the first day in this daycare, he cried too much and lost his voice when he was back home. 2. It's not a good environment to take naps. Crib area is next to activity area so the napping area is also noisy. My son usually has 1.5 hour long nap at home. I understand it might be different in daycare, but he never took a nap longer than 30mins there, and every night he looks exausted back home. I do appreciate teachers' hard work because taking care of infants is not easy. I also like how easy to go outside from the infant room. However, compare to some other providers, this is not an ideal choice for infants. Hope this review can be helpful for some new parents, especially if you are considering Broght Horizons, I suggest to take tours in other locations so you will have better ideas.

Here we watched our kids learn how to make friends, how to love and respect them, and also felt the joy of seeing them being loved back by their peers. They fell in love with problem solving, art, language, and got exposed to geography, botany, and different cultures. We started during the pandemic, and the work Ms Michelle and the teachers put into keeping the children healthy was and still is extremely effective.

This review is for Children's World Bilingual Montessori (CWBM). My daughter (7 years old) and son…read more(5 years old) both recently graduated from CWBM, spending their preschool years here and my husband and I feel so fortunate to have found this school. CWBM has been like a second home for my children. Just a few of the many things I love about the school: 1) The school itself is a true Montessori school. CWBM is observed by an Association Montessori International (AMI) representative yearly and continues to be recognized as a member of the Association Montessori International. 2) The school itself is so clean and bright inside. This was one of the main reasons I chose CWBM for my children. The children are also taught to help keep the school tidy and neat. 3) The teachers are loving and attentive. On the weekends when he is not in school, my son has often called out his teachers' names while trying to call out to me (his mother). This is just a small indicator of how fond my son was of his teachers. 4) My children were happy in school while learning math, how to read, participating in singing, soccer, dancing, class. 5) Chinese culture and language was introduced during school, which I appreciated, especially living in this global society. 6) I think what I really appreciated most recently with covid, is the precautions that are taken to keep the children and teachers safe. From the very beginning of the pandemic, I felt safe sending my kids to school here and I was on the paranoid side (my kids were one of the first to comfortably wear masks during the pandemic). My children and I will always think of our time at CWBM fondly and continue to recommend this preschool to others. Thank you CWBM!

Apple Land has provided a truly enriching, joyful, and educational experience for our two children…read more As of writing this review, our family has been part of the Apple Land family for nearly 3 years. It's a place that our children are excited to go everyday (or almost everyday, haha). The welcoming environment is palpable from the moment the teachers open the door at drop off. It's not uncommon for the other children to happily run over and greet ours as they arrive, and it warms my heart to see them all gleefully toodle off together to go play. I have to give a lot of credit to the teachers for this: our son was quite shy at first, but the Apple Land teachers gave him a lot of support that helped build his confidence and strengthen his social connections with his peers. Besides offering a kind, friendly community, Apple Land does an excellent job educating their young students. We've noticed consistent growth in our children's reading and math skills since attending the school. My wife and I used to be able to sneakily spell words out loud if we wanted to obfuscate our conversations, but realized that strategy wasn't going to work anymore when our son started asking questions like "why did you just spell the word 'cake?'" Thanks a lot, Apple Land! I also appreciate that the learning isn't just focused on "the basics." Our kids love building, and there's plenty of opportunity to explore that as well. A recent favorite has been building electrical circuits with age-appropriate kits. I think it's so cool that the students here get exposure to these concepts at such a young age! Overall, I can't say enough great things about Apple Land! The low student-teacher ratio means that the teachers can nurture, support, and challenge each student in an individualized way. It also means they can take the time to interact a lot with the parents, providing frequent updates on how things are going at the school and coordinating with parents to ensure consistent approaches between home and school (e.g. "Is there something you say or do at home to help [child] when they're feeling [emotion]?" "[Child] seems to respond well to [technique], maybe it could help at home too?") I am so thankful that we found this place, and I know our children will benefit from their Apple Land foundation for the rest of their lives.

Our son (5) has been at Apple Land for almost three years, and our daughter (almost 3) for about a…read moreyear and a half. We truly could not be happier with the care, attention, and education they are receiving. The teachers (Ivan, Sherry, Mary, and others) are exceptional. They provide thoughtful, individualized attention, and we've seen both of our children truly blossom under their care. Our son is quite advanced in math and reading, and it's clear he's learning a great deal and being appropriately challenged. Just as important, the learning environment is supportive and joyful. He loves going to school and never feels bored or pressured. The curriculum is very hands-on and experiential, which we believe is ideal for young children, rather than relying heavily on desk work or worksheets. The small student-to-teacher ratio allows the teachers to really know each child and support them in reaching their full potential. We've noticed that many of the children at Apple Land are quite advanced academically as well. Although our daughter is much younger, she is already demonstrating strong familiarity with numbers, letters, and more. Another aspect we deeply appreciate is how collaborative and communicative the teachers are with parents. We receive detailed updates at pick-up every day, and when situations arise that present learning opportunities (such as challenges with sharing, name-calling, or other social interactions) the teachers communicate clearly about what happened and offer thoughtful guidance on how to reinforce those lessons at home. We truly feel like we're working as a team to support our children's social-emotional development, not just their academics. Our kids also love the enriching experiences Apple Land provides, including field trips on the school bus, music class, gymnastics, and more. They enjoy plenty of outdoor play, time with the animals and garden, and a wide variety of engaging activities. The teachers foster a warm, close-knit environment, and we're grateful that our children have built such wonderful friendships. Finally, the school providing up to three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and an early dinner) is a huge plus for busy parents and makes daily life so much easier. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Apple Land and highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging, and thoughtfully run preschool/daycare.
