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!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found this daycare for our daughter. It truly offers the best of…read moreboth worlds--the warmth and attention of a daycare with the structure and enrichment of a larger facility. Every day, our daughter is involved in activities that help her grow and learn. From creative art, food prep, science experiments and paper crafts to making custom keychains, the projects are fun and developmentally helpful. There are also so many programs and projects listed in the newsletter we receive regularly. They do a wonderful job helping her build strong fine motor skills, and Fridays are especially fun because of dance day, which she looks forward to each week. What really stands out is the staff. Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall are genuinely kind, sincere, and caring. The teachers are always going above and beyond for the kids, and we always feel comfortable knowing our daughter is in good hands. Ms. Hamina keeps me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciate. I was nervous about putting my daughter into daycare at first, but she has had such a positive experience. She adjusted quickly and actually loves daycare! All the other kids are so good to her and each other. We are very grateful for the care and enrichment they provide and would highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging environment for their child.

The teachers, Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall, clearly love what they do and genuinely care about the kids. Ms. Hamina has put together an incredible curriculum. In just a short time, our daughter has gotten to experience so many fun activities--visits from police officers, a fire truck, the East Bay SPCA, cooking classes, and a new learning theme each month. Last month, they even put on an art show featuring all of the kids' artwork, which was such a thoughtful touch and a proud moment for us. We also really appreciate the cozy, home-like environment--it feels safe, welcoming, and perfect for young kids. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves going every day, which says it all. We're so thankful to have found Little Feet Preschool and highly recommend it to other families!

She looked forward to going every single day, which as parents meant the world to us. The learning journey she experienced here was incredible we witnessed beautiful growth in her confidence, communication, independence, and love for learning. Neverland teachers are genuinely warm, loving and deeply caring, creating an environment where children feel safe, valued, and happy. The activities are thoughtfully planned, creative, and engaging and the monthly celebrations are done with so much heart and intention they always made the kids feel special and excited. The healthy, nutritious meals provided were a blessing, especially for our picky eater. Over time, this care and consistency helped her develop better eating habits, something we are truly grateful for even today. Nina holds an incredibly special place in our hearts. Her kindness, patience and unconditional love left a lasting imprint on our daughter's early years. The bond our daughter shares with her is something we will always cherish. Nina didn't just care for our child she helped shape her with love, warmth and trust. Neverland will forever be a meaningful part of our family's journey, and we couldn't be more thankful for the foundation, love, and memories created here.

I can't say enough good things about Neverland Daycare and Miss Courtney! From the very first day,…read moreshe made my child feel so welcome and loved -- it honestly felt like we were dropping them off with family, not just a teacher. Miss Courtney has the kindest heart and such a natural way with kids. She really takes the time to understand each child's personality and helps them grow in their own way. My daughter is excited to go to daycare every morning. The daycare is clean, big, full of fun and varieties of activities. Each day she has learning and meal schedules, walking, exercise. Ms Courtney sends pictures of my daughter to me everyday. My daughter has learned so much and has so much fun here. Ms Nary is not in my daughter's class but she always keeps checking on us which is very nice of her! We're so grateful to have found Neverland Daycare and Miss Courtney. She's made such a positive difference in our child's life and in ours too.

We found that they learned a lot more about STEM topics than at the other preschool our son went to before we moved him here. Miss Linda and her crew are all so kind and loving and our kids looked forward to going every day. As parents we loved the little updates we would get throughout the day via the app they use for communication. Sometimes they were just little notes about how much of their lunch they ate or when nap time started and ended. But many times there were cute little pictures or videos of our kids participating in some activity or craft. Like I said we highly recommend them and one of our friends sends their daughter there now as well.

The staff at this location, along with the owners, is truly exceptional - they are not only experienced, but also caring, supportive, and communicative. The variety of activities and curriculum offered is a major plus, it kept our daughter engaged and exposed to new ideas and challenges. From homework assistance to creative projects and opportunities for social interaction, Genius Kids Pleasanton Bernal provided a well-rounded experience. Over these years, we've also observed improvements in our daughter's socializing skills and ability to make friends (with both kids and staff), which is something we greatly value. Also, from the very beginning, we felt confident about the safety and supervision of our child, and the facility itself is very clean and organized. I would absolutely recommend this center to any parent looking for a great afterschool program. Thank you Genius Kids Pleasanton Bernal, it's been a really great journey!

My parents had nothing but incredible things to say about her. So taking my daughter to her was a no brainer and Nancy proves time and time again that my instincts were correct.

My daughter is currently 28 months, sings Happy Birthday, counts to 13 unassisted (though she does occasionally forget 9. But she does leave a placeholder lol) and is a master sharer despite being an only child. Nancy reads and plays games with the kids and is accommodating to a fault.

Nancy is very flexible and a life saver for a mom that works long hours. She also never gets sick, she's very reliable. Highly recommend this place.

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!

But as soon as I walked in I felt at ease. This was the third place I toured and I instantly knew it was going to be the right fit. Lindsay explained their philosophy which really emphasizes play based learning, (exactly what we were looking for) and just taking to her and watching the teachers interact with the kids I could tell that everyone really cares about these children, that it's not just a job. Their outside areas are big and shady and well equipped and the kids get a ton of time out there which I feel is crucial at this age. And my kid LOVES IT. He's been there for a little over a year and is excited to go every day. He always tells me how much he loves all the teachers and always wants to make them cards. His social skills have gotten better, he's made a bunch of friends, and he's learned a lot more than I expected at this age. The skills he is gaining impress me daily. I know some parents like daily updates on their child's progress, and you can get that here, but you have to ask for it. You won't get an email or a long conversation at pick up time everyday. But I just always check in with the teachers a few times a week and they're happy to talk with me or email with me. I just can't say enough good things about this place. Being able to leave my child somewhere I feel he is truly safe and cared for is so important.

As first time parents, we were extremely anxious sending our 4 month old son to daycare. We visited several daycares before deciding on Garden Creek and when we did our site visit, Jayanti was so empathetic and caring and our son seemed immediately comfortable with her. Being newbies, we were pretty high maintenance, but Jayanti was so patient and willing to try to fulfill our requests. She even helped us to come up with routines that worked better for our son and helped us grow as parents. We started out sending him to daycare part time and very quickly felt so comfortable there, that within a month, we decided to send him full time. We felt so confident dropping off our son every day and knowing he was in the care of such a loving and capable team. Our son started there when he was around 4 months old and stayed for over 3 years. We could not be more thrilled with the care that he received while at Garden Creek. We have since decided to transition our son to preschool, but we maintain a close relationship with Jayanti, and consider her to be family. Our son has grown into such a wonderful kid and we feel that Jayanti and her team played such a huge role in his development. The amount of love our son received at Garden Creek was immeasurable. Not to mention, Jayanti is the only person in the world that can get our son to eat and actually LOVE vegetables!! Choosing Garden Creek was the best decision for our family and we would not hesitate to recommend Garden Creek Daycare to anyone! The entire Garden Creek family has a very special place in our heart and we are forever grateful to all of them for all that they have done and provided for us.
