Our son attended Fun Learning for about six months before transitioning to a preschool closer to home when he was around 2.5 years old. We had a wonderful experience throughout our time there. Drop-offs and pickups were always smooth, and the staff were warm, caring, and genuinely enjoyed working with the children. It was clear that the kids were well cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. The tuition was also very affordable and offered great value. While we ultimately chose a more academically focused preschool that was closer to home, we honestly would have been happy keeping our son at Fun Learning until kindergarten. Ms. Rachel, the owner, is incredibly kind, accommodating, and truly cares about the families she serves. We highly recommend Fun Learning to any parents looking for a trustworthy, caring daycare. read more

Exceptional - We are so grateful to have found Rachel's daycare for our daughter, Connelly. She's almost 2 and has already grown so much--she's more verbal every week and comes home excited about the new things she's learned. Rachel and her team provide such a loving, safe, and enriching environment. Connelly has made friends, eats well, naps well, and is always happy to go in the mornings (a huge relief for us as parents!). We especially appreciate how Rachel blends play, early education, music, and even bilingual learning into the day--it's more than just childcare, it's a real foundation for growth. This place feels like family, and we wholeheartedly recommend Rachel's daycare to any parent looking for both nurturing care and meaningful learning. read more

Geared more towards toddlers. She says will accept infants but does not really have particular activities for them. Seems like she will accept anybody but wont prepare other activities for younger infants. read more

We enrolled our 2 yr old (now 4 year old daughter back during the pandemic in 2021) We're incredibly grateful for your role in our daughter's preschool journey and helping her overcome her social anxiety. She went from crying non stop to eventually blooming into one of the loudest kids in the class. Ms Rachel - Your nurturing, kind, and patient approach has made you more than just a teacher; you're like a second mother to her! Your impressive educational background in early childhood education has undoubtedly contributed to our daughter's advanced skills in speaking and counting, well beyond her years. We feel as if our daughter is way ahead of the curve before kindergarten just at 3.5 years old! She was taught mandarin, how to count to 100, all shapes, letters, alphabet, simple addition and math, and so much more. But what sets you apart is your heart. You've created a warm, loving, and safe environment that has not only accelerated her learning but also helped her grow into a confident and caring individual. Thank you for being such a positive influence in our daughter's life. We feel fortunate to have you as her teacher. We will actually enroll our future children into her schools, we do not trust any other daycares! read more

Fun Learning Family Day Care - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - San Bruno, California

We stumbled across Rachel's daycare after our twins had an awful time at J's daycare (I won't say their name). Only lasted 1 day at J's place, stayed for only 2 hours, and cried the entire time, then J calls me to pick them up. I get there thinking ok we'll try again tomorrow, but then J tells me they're too young (15 months at the time) and this isn't going to work out. I'm shocked, but I also panic that we won't have help since we let go of our nanny. I had been warned by many others that its very typical for the first few weeks of daycare to be tough on the child (a lot of crying, may eat or nap less at daycare), but I didn't think it was that bad that J wanted to part ways after one day! After some heavy research, I narrowed my search to Rachel's and 2 other places, but Rachel includes education at her daycare, is well staffed with at least 2 people, good age difference to socialize the kids, and includes meals and outside playtime. All were very important to us and the original reason why we let go of our nanny. We could see they were getting bored and wanted to learn and socialize. Although Rachel doesn't offer it, she agreed to a trial day because it was really important to me that our twins bond well with the caregivers and like the daycare before we commit after what happened with J's daycare. Our twins did cry at drop off, but Rachel kept us updated the entire time and showed us that they had quickly stopped crying and was already enjoying and playing. I could see such a big difference from Rachel and J's place and decided to commit, but I was still worried about my twins and how they would adjust. Come the first week, our twins did incredibly well. Rachel tells us how even she was surprised how well they did, that they didn't cry much after drop off, continue to nap well, and ate more than the big kids! I was so relieved we found a place that took such great care of our twins. Kids are so intuitive and read people better than we think. They know who they can bond well and easily with and make them feel safe when they're away from home. I think they intuitively knew they didn't like J's place. 2 months in now and our twins are thriving! I'm happy things worked out the way it did because our twins looks so happy at Rachels. They're talking so much now using all these new words they've learned and even surprised me with some numbers they know. We get weekly photos of what our twins did that week, who they played with, even what they've ate. We really appreciate how much Rachel does her best to make it easy on the parents as possible. She has a bin for each child to keep all their things there, diaper, creams, extra clothes, etc, then lets you know if they're running low on something. Feeds them breakfast, lunch, and snacks in between and does a good variation of meats, carbs, and veges. The hours are typical 8-6. Some things to consider, I do wish they had an application like other daycares we visited where we can fill out each child's personality, what they like to play with or eat, what they don't like, food habits to be aware of that can either help or hinder meal times, what they need to work on, what they're scared of, what our parent goals are, what our rules are for our child (ours was no candy snacks), their nap routine, skin care routine (ours have eczema in certain places, uses certain creams at certain frequencies), etc etc because every child and family is different. But when we have concerns, Rachel is quick to respond and accommodate the twins needs or our parent preferences for the twins to follow at daycare. But since our main method of communication is texting, it can get missed or forgotten from previous conversations as opposed to it written down for the child for all the caregivers to see and be aware of. So sometimes we have to remind her or the other caregivers again. Another daycare were very tech savvy and did an app to track when each child ate, drank, peed, and pooped, how much, how often, and charted what time it happened so that the parents can track their child's progress. This is so helpful if you have a child less than 1yo, having a lot of bottles and naps still. You won't find a perfect daycare. Pick what is most valuable to your family. For us, we found that with Rachel. We speak so highly of them to our parent friends and family that we are always happy to refer them! Thank you Rachel, Pryllie, and Julieth! read more

Rachel and her team are delightful educators of children of all ages. The daycare is filled with music and early learning programs in both English and Chinese. English speakers are welcome and comfortable. As my daughter has aged the team accommodates her needs with children from baby to toddler ages. I love this daycare and Rachel and her team. I feel like it is bringing my child to a family everyday. My daughter always rushes in to be part of daycare and does not cry when I drop off or pick up. It's a joy to be part of this community! Thank you Rachel for everything you do! read more

We were so lucky to find Fun Learning Family Day Care! Ms. Rachel and her team have nurtured and educated my daughter, who attended the Day Care from age 3-5 years. The play-based learning style resonated really well with my daughter, and she thrived in this environment. Ms. Rachel has Montessori training, and always came up with innovative learning plans and curriculum that kept the children of varying ages highly engaged. My daughter was doing simple math by age 3, reading books to family or on her own by age 4, and singing songs or reciting poems in Mandarin by age 5! And the art projects that she brought home were so impressive, she proudly displays them around our home. Most important to me, however, was to have my daughter in a place that felt safe. She had only ever been cared for by family before I enrolled her at Fun Learning Family Day Care, and I was anxious about making this transition. But Rachel immediately put me at ease, and kept me updated almost daily on how the transition was going. She expressed concern for my daughter, myself and our family. More than a teacher, Rachel is an extension of our family, and I thank her for being a positive influence in my daughter's life! read more

I'm so grateful to have found Rachel's place. I sent my son there when he was 2 years old and I was just planning to put him there for a brief period of time while we were waiting for a spot in a pre-school. We ended up staying at Rachel's daycare and I plan to keep my son there until it's time for him to go to kindergarten because my son loves it there so much. He likes all the teachers there, he makes friends, and learns well while having fun. Another huge bonus is Rachel's daycare also teaches Mandarin. A few months after I sent my son there, he started talking to my husband and I in Mandarin! Rachel is a wonderful teacher, she's patient, kind, and cares for the kids like they were her own. If you are looking for a safe, loving, and a fun learning environment, I highly recommend Fun Learning Family Day Care. read more

My son started at Fun Learning Daycare at 23 months old. He has been there for 3 months now. The teachers are all very caring and nurturing. Ms. Rachel is also very responsive to any individual requests. They have been accommodating of our early morning care needs. My son is happy to go to school everyday and he enjoys the music, singing, and mixed age friends. read more

My wife and I been having our twins at this day care for several months and have no regrets ever since. Since then, the boys have been very social and speaking out more often as they're growing. Rachel always has two teachers at her daycare to handle the group of kids. Our kids are also learning how to count in Mandarin, to the point where my wife and I hear them say something in Chinese at home and catch us by surprise with joy. We definitely see so much growth already at their current age. Rachel has also been very accommodating for my wife and I's schedule since we're both working and I tend to have different set times when I work. When I do work early, Rachel has been very flexible to accommodate the kids to come to day care a little earlier than scheduled time in order to meet our needs for work. Almost every week, she also sends photos of the kids playing, learning new content, and also take photos of the foods that are prepped for the whole day so we know exactly what they're eating for their snacks and lunch. The whole team is very kind and honest. I'm glad my wife and I chose this day care for our twins because Rachel implements a lot of Montessori ideals and values that structure the twins education that we highly support, thanks again. read more

My daughter started at Rachel's day care and I cannot recommend it enough! The atmosphere is so warm and I know my daughter is safe and cared for. They provide food which is a huge convenience and time saver and my father learned how to eat much better after starting school. She's also learned some Chinese poems, how to count in mandarin, her shapes and colors. They send pictures multiple times throughout the week so it is so great to see what they are doing and the friends she's playing with! My daughter has learned to follow directions better and it's translating to all areas of her life. She's grown and learned so much in just 2-3 months and I can't wait to see how much she will learn going forward! read more

Where do I start.....well let's say that looking for the right daycare for your child is always a daunting experience. I still remembered the first day that I met Rachel. I immediately noticed that she was not your typical burned out daycare provider. She was welcoming, honest and has the ability to keep the attention of all the children with her charisma! Rachel is smart, caring, enthusiastic, motherly, and just an all around nice person. I can tell she really loves what she does. My daughter has been there for 6 months now and I can truly say that she by far the best we have ever had. She sings songs and teaches through Montessori ways. She is consistently patient with our daughter who is currently going through her terrible two stage. Rachel teaches her not to behave badly and treat others with respect. She also takes time to speak with us about her progress or if she needs to work on something. Today I was sitting in my kitchen and our 2 year old was reciting the alphabet. I looked at her and she was picking out magnetic letters and recognizing the letters. Not to mention that she knows every single children song and can sing it with pride. Rachel is a brilliant teacher and wonderful person. She also has a master in early childhood development and truly understands children. Anyone would be lucky to have her and her family take care of their children. read more

My now 3 year old daughter was in this day care for 1 year before we moved to South. Raechel is a very kind lady and my daughter loved her. The teachers would sing songs and play instruments and do arts and crafts most of the days. I would strongly recommend this daycare for parents looking for good interactive childcare for their kids. read more

I am so grateful to Fun Learning Family Day Care for providing excellent care for my daughter Olivia. The day care provides education in both Chinese and English, so besides learning knowledge points that are taught in other day cares, like colors/shape/letter/number etc, the kids could also learn Chinese. That is exactly what I expected for Olivia. The environment of the day care is very clean and safe. There are lots of toys that Olivia really liked. Ms. Shen syncs with us about status and progress of Olivia weekly and if their urgent situation, we could always reach her via phone call or IM. The day care is also very close to where we live, so it is very convenient to pick up and drop off my kid. read more

Rachel's day care is amazing. Our son started at Fun Learning when he was 21 months old until he was close to 3 years old (when she had to close the day care due to covid19). Rachel, along with the two other teachers created such a warm, fun, and awesome learning environment! My son learnt so many things while there - the solar system, how to make ice cream, song and dance, animals, feelings and empathy, and Mandarin! Rachel has a passion for teaching and nurturing the minds of young children and it really shows. Fun Learning is definitely on another level compared to other home-based day cares that we've seen, and better than a lot of the bigger, more established centers. Additionally, meals and snacks that were provided was always healthy and varied! My son has very fond memories of Rachel's day care and misses it a lot - we can't recommend her day care enough! read more

My son has been going to this daycare for over a year and he has been learning so much. This place is vastly more than just a place to put your kids while you go to work, they teach, sing, and interact with your kids with innovative ways that keeps them entertained. Rachel is a wonderful teacher and without her guidance, my son would not be where he is today, already learning to spell words and even learning Chinese! I recommend this place to anyone that is in need of a daycare in the area, and feel free to reach out to me for any questions! read more

Kids learn a lot in this daycare while having fun. My daughter loves her school! The teachers are great, kids are involved in many fun learning activities such as circle time, playing instruments, craft, etc and sometimes even making dumplings. My kid started when she was 2 years old, now she's almost 4. I love that she's learning many things & a little bit of Chinese culture. Definitely, Rachel and all the teachers really care about all the kids. read more

My daughter has been in this daycare for nine months, and we feel lucky to choose this place. The environment there is kids friendly and very clean. Rachael is well educated in this field and highly qualified to be a teacher. She is enthusiastic to her work, and communicates with parents timely about kid's performance (both good ones and not good ones). She's always trying her best to help kids to go through their difficulty times. Highly recommend this daycare. read more

Both my daughters have attended Rachel's for nearly 2 years combined and have learned much from their time there. Rachel teaches a mixed age range of children in her daycare with singing and activities in a Montessori method. Highly recommend anyone in the area looking for a clean, fun and educational daycare to contact Rachel. read more

What can I say about Rachel.. She is an excellent teacher, always cheerful, lovable and my kid loves to go to her. My kid on the first week started saying the poems and the alphabets.. She love the kids and I am very happy that my son found such a lovely teacher. Not to forget he mandarin lessons are free. I highly recommend her.. read more

Outstanding care for my 3 year little one! Rachel is so good in adopting learning methods which are fun for the kids but at the same time prepare them for Pre School! My boy recites something new every week which he learns from Rachel! Great work and keep it up! read more

Rachel's Daycare is the best, hands down. They do an amazing job making learning FUN. My son is learning at a much faster rate because of Rachel's teaching methods. We've been touring other pre-schools and ALL of Rachel's kids already know what the pre-school kids know. My 3 year old son is so happy there and it's great knowing he is being well taken care of. He attended another daycare center prior to Rachel's, and he dreaded going to school EVERYDAY. At Rachel's, he is excited to go to school. When I drop him off in the morning, he just runs in before I even get a chance to say bye! Rachel and the teachers love what they're doing and care about the well being of all the students. I highly recommend you schedule a tour to see for yourself. read more

We love this daycare...for us we love this place because not only is she watching our son she is teaching our son the basics (abc, 123s and shapes). Our son is 20months and have been in this daycare for only two short months and he knows his ABCs and can count from 1-10 and knows some shapes....rachel is a wonderful person. Im glad i found this place!!! read more

We have been sending our daughter to this daycare since she was two. Rachel took care of my daughter really well and my daughter is really enjoying the time there. My daughter learned a lot in Rachel's daycare. She learned both English and Chinese there. I'm really glad my daughter was able to tell a story to us in English when she was only three. Rachel is a very nice person. There were a number of times I was late picking her up due to traffic jam, she always says that's fine and never ask for a late fee. In other daycares, it would cost us a lot of money for being late to pick her up. We were so thankful for her kindness. There were also a lot of fun activities for the kids. Every year there're parties and activities at Halloween, Chinese New Year, etc. They also held birthday party for each kid and let the kid's parent to participate. read more

Me and my wife bring our older son there. So far it's the best day care place we found. It's very well designed and organised. Very clean, has lots of toys. Rachel has higher education in this fiekd and she is really focused on teaching children basic knowledge like abc, counting and new words. We asked her to teach our son Mandarin words. And he likes it. We definitely would recommend this day care to other parents! Right on, Rachel! read more

We love Fun Learning. They not only have caring teachers, alos great student and teacher ratio. My little one was previously attending another day care, where he was reluctant to go, but it took him only 1-2 days before he started enjoying going there every day. Rachel is really awesome with toddlers. read more

This daycare was recommended to me by my cousin who have known of this place through her friend. They had nothing but great things to say about this daycare. This Montessori Daycare is run by Rachel and her parents. During our tour, she pride herself of having expertise in child development with monthly curriculum on different subjects. I was lucky to have found her and place my son there when he just turned 1yr. I recently took him out right before his 2nd Birthday because I was appalled by the way she had handled a mishap. My son get sick almost every month for minor fevers due to teething or something he got from daycare which is expected. However, my son got sick with the Hand Foot Mouth Disease from this daycare. Which could have possibly been prevented if Rachel was proactive about informing the parents about it. She knew a week prior to my son getting sick that a girl had it and was kept home. If I was informed of this information, I could have kept my son at home as well due to how contagious this disease is. But she did not tell me until I mention to her that my son got diagnose with it and when I had asked if other kids have the same thing. Rachel is passionate about her daycare but if I can not count on her to be more informative of health care issues than it is not a safe place for my child's wellbeing. read more

My daughter has been attending Rachel's daycare since she was 15 months old and now, at almost 2.5 years old, she has a phenomenal vocabulary and an even greater repertoire of songs. When she first started attending, we had to hold my daughter so that she would nap. Needless to say, we were worried about how she would handle the transition. Rachel sent us updates to ease our trepidation and a picture of my daughter napping in a cot on her own on the very first day! Compared to other daycares we looked into in the city and the peninsula, not only was Rachel's daycare the cleanest, it was also reasonably priced! Rachel holds a masters degree in childhood education and truly has a passion for teaching and caring for children. If we were not leaving the Bay Area, we would keep my daughter enrolled in Rachel's school and would not think twice about sending our second daughter to her. We only wish that we could take Rachel with us back to the east coast! read more

Our daughter has been attending Rachel's day care since she was 18 month old and she just turned 3. We had searched and toured many other day care and Rachel's daycare is the cleanest and the nicest. Rachel often sends parents photo and updates us about her learning and activities. The biggest differentiation about Rachel's day care is that Rachel is a real teacher with a Master degree in Teaching. Rachel applies Montessori method in teaching the children in a supportive, thoughtfully prepared learning environment. Language is another important criteria for me in a bilingual household (My husband only speak English while I speak Cantonese to my children). Rachel teaches in both English and Mandarin so the kids are open to another language. My daughter can count 1-10 in all 3 languages and she "switches channel" so naturally depends who she talks to, it's amazing how fast kids learn and absorb. The third benefit to me as a working-mom is that Rachel prepares breakfast and lunch for the kids and help them with feeding if they are not ready to feed themselves; my daughter needed some assistance in the first couple of weeks, but then she was so eager to feed herself as she wants to be a big girl like other kids. Go without saying how much we love Rachel's day care, and we are so excited that our 1 yr old boy will start with Rachel in 2 months as soon as she has opening! I would highly recommend Rachel's day care. read more

My daughter has been attending Rachel's family daycare for the last year. After the first month, our daughter was already singing songs! Our daughter has learned so much from Rachel- her colors, shapes, how to count in English and Mandarin, vocabulary, etc. But beyond just "baby academics" Rachel and her parents create a loving environment where the kids welcome each other in every morning and learn how to express kindness to each other and to stuffed animals- (I.e. Sharing toys with a new peer, patting a stuffed animal to sleep, etc.) It is clear that Rachel is very committed to the growth of the children she cares for. My daughter also often comments about how grandma ( Rachel's mom) is nice to her and when we come across certain words or songs, she will say "Teacher Rachel taught me." Aside from all this, Rachel's academic background is far beyond what is needed in a home daycare provider. She has a graduate degree in education and is a certified Mandarin language educator. We highly recommend Rachel to all of our friends and family looking for a great childcare provider! read more

I toured several home day cares before settling on Rachel's. What stuck out the most was her wonderful personality, her background in childcare and the fact that the daycare is bilingual. She truly loves her students. Rachel is very communicative and won't hesitate to provide you updates as often as needed. I love getting pictures of my daughter playing with her friends and learning at school! My daughter has enjoyed every minute so far and never hesitates to walk right in and start playing with the other kids. read more

Fun Learning Family Daycare is a clean, safe and nurturing environment for kids. The daycare owner Rachel cares very much about children as she has a background in early childhood education. She incorporates teaching ABCs, vocabulary, math, music and arts/crafts into her daily schedule with the kids. She is gentle, caring yet knows how to discipline. My child can get very clingy when it comes to strangers but Rachel was able to get him feel safe and comfortable. She is also attentive to every child's needs and works with their parents (my child has special diet needs). My child enjoys going there and always has a big smile on his face during pick up. read more

The daycare is reliable, clean and safe. My son has been sent to this daycare for several months, and he loves here very much. He is happy everyday, and learned new songs and new words day by day. Rachel and other teachers here are loving, friendly and helpful, they do not only take care of kids, but also teach them knowledge. I am impressed by my son's change from a silent little boy to a talkative kid :) read more
