    Happily playing outside

    We couldn't be happier with our daycare! Our daughter started attending I Grow Learning Academy 8 months ago when she was around 2.5 years old and she absolutely loves every moment she spends here. She happily hops off the bed in the morning and can't wait to get ready for preschool. The teachers at the Ocean Room are fantastic, they are calm, consistent, supportive and truly caring. Our daughter seems to have a very special bond with them and always has lots of stories about her day. The facility is well designed for children, always sparkling clean and very welcoming. Provided meals are thoughtful and nutritious, which makes me at ease knowing my child is taken care of in all aspects. Additional activities like weekly dance and music lessons are her big-time favorites. And I'm extremely happy she gets regular exposure to rhythm, singing and live music which are proven to be so beneficial for young brains. The atmosphere is safe and nurturing, with a good balance of academics and play that is excellent for development. It's been such a joy to watch her acquire new skills daily and become a very capable and independent little person. She is so proud to have learned how to fully dress herself, use bathroom, put away toys, share and take turns, help friends... Her dad, who was born and raised in the US and has no Russian background, has been very impressed with our daughter's progress, the quality of the school's programs and level of care. He's very excited she has the opportunity to learn a second language naturally at a very young age. The administration team deserves special recognition. From daily photo and video updates for each child to various events planning, there is attention to detail in every step, and they put a great effort into building a personal relationship with every family. We are so grateful for how responsive and accommodating they have been. I highly recommend this daycare center to anyone looking for a safe, balanced and nurturing environment for their bilingual kids.

    Best daycare, thumbs down! Best teachers, warmest hearts! My kids were always happy to go there, they made a lot of friends, and learned so much. Great facilities: clean, spacious and well designed. We will miss Igrow so much!

The teachers are very caring, generally speaking. If you're not Asian, you may be put off by the cultural piece. We know a couple of kindergarten girls who had a hard time adjusting to how strict the teachers were. While they are strict, they are also very loving and caring. Miss Jerri, the Director, is incredible. She truly cares about each kid that walks into that school. She honestly transforms this place every single holiday. When you are working parent, you don't have the time to decorate your house, so the magic is not really as alive as it could be. At Little Tree, it almost feels magical. For Thanksgiving, for instance, they host a feast for the kids. They also take photos of your kiddos, and send them to the parents during holidays. We had a couple of behavioral issues coming up, probably because the ratio of adult to kid isn't the best, but they were addressed immediately and with good communication. Our daughter does not speak Mandarin at home, but other people think that she is bilingual, based on how well she has learned Mandarin. She even did a solo during the performance! I highly recommend this place. We wish they could offer a pick up service from Oster, but they do offer a pick up service if your school is in the Campbell area. We are moving away, so are devastated that we won't continue at Little Tree, but highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mandarin afterschool program!

My son has already graduated from this elementary school, and my daughter will be graduating this year. Over all these years, we have been consistently happy and grateful for everything this school has given our family. It's never easy to trust others with the care, safety, and education of your children, but from the very beginning, this school made us feel confident and at peace. The teachers, staff, and entire team are incredibly kind, supportive, and dedicated. They genuinely care about the children, not just academically, but emotionally as well. We've watched our kids grow, learn, and thrive in a loving and respectful environment. The relationships built here will always mean a lot to us.

The school's dedication and genuine care have left an indelible mark on their early years of learning and personality development. It takes a village and you all are part of our village. Through your guidance in arts, music, theatre, socio-emotional learning, and academics, our child has flourished not just as a student but as a confident and compassionate individual. The skills and values our child has gained under your care will stay with him for a lifetime. Thank you for making these formative years so memorable and impactful. You have set the stage for a love of learning and creativity that will continue to grow. We are genuinely saddened that we can't enroll in our second one. All the teachers, staff and students will have a special place in our hearts forever. Very grateful that our paths crossed and will always cherish the role you've played in our child's journey.

I didn't know anything about Bright Days and I'm so thankful that my family discovered this school. This unassuming, rather hidden, little community is located off Winchester near Hamilton. Director Mary is a truly caring and nurturing soul, and all of the teachers I've interacted with from teacher Kristi, Laura, Morgan, and so many others have each demonstrated that they truly care about each young student. This preschool is a community where parents, children, and staff all work together to create an inviting and nurturing environment. There are numerous opportunities to get involved.

    Bright Days is an incredible preschool…read more My son attended Bright Days for his last year before kindergarten, and boy, what a wonderful experience he had! He spent the year riding scooters, making puddles and jumping in them, gardening, baking bread and muffins, building train tracks, racing cars, flying paper airplanes, playing in the mud kitchen and playhouse, singing, painting, and learning how to make friends and be a good friend. He would come home barefoot and covered in a thin film of dust, tired and happy. Just as it should be for a four year old. And, my son is also well-prepared for the academic aspects of kindergarten. Bright days taught the kids all about their numbers, letter sounds, and how to write their names and letters. But they did so in a playful, joyful way. There was never any drudgery to it. Last but not least, Bright Days is very parent-friendly. They don't have "minimum days" or a lot of days off other than normal school holidays. They are flexible with scheduling parent-teacher conferences. They make life easier for parents with flexible extended day options, have a flexible summer program, and are always available if you need to discuss something with them. Thank you for a wonderful year Bright Days! We will surely miss you.

I can never truly put into words in an online review how much we love…read moreNelly's and how much of a positive impact it has had on our child's life, and on ours as parents. From the moment we toured the facility while pregnant with our first child, we knew this was the right place for us. Our child has attended Nelly's since they were 10 months old, in the infant classroom and is now 2.5 years old in the preschool classroom. I was nervous to send my child at what I felt was such a young age, but now I know I would truly feel comfortable sending my child there at any age. The staff at Nelly's is the absolute best! I cannot speak highly enough of the director, or of the maestras and support staff. They are all equally amazing! My child loves all the maestras and knows each one by name. The way they love all of the students and treat them with kindness, respect, and excitement everyday is such a special thing to see. You can tell how much they care for their students and their wellbeing. I can comfortably go to work each day knowing my child is safe and well cared for, and that's everything you could want for your child when they are being taken care of elsewhere. The classrooms, play areas, meals, artwork, activities - it is all really fantastic. Our child has food allergies and some other health related situations and they have been so safe and cautious. The communication between the staff and parents is really wonderful too. They really have our child's best interest in mind at all times and it shows every day. My child has grown so much in every aspect - physically, mentally, emotionally. And although this is a bilingual daycare primarily focused on Spanish, our child's speech in both English and Spanish has improved immensely. The staff at Nelly's make each day so fun for the kids and they are always learning about new subjects. The staff plan wonderful outings to involve the families and students throughout the year and it's really nice as a working parent to have those moments with your child. The staff at Nelly's also made us feel so prepared and supported through the potty training process and now we are past that initial stage and our child is doing great. I will be so sad for the day we have to move on from Nelly's, but I'm so thankful that is still a ways out. I highly recommend this daycare/preschool in every way and would rate them a 10 out of 5 if I could.

It's clear they genuinely enjoy working with children, and we've always felt confident that our kids are in good hands. Another big plus is the community of parents. Everyone is friendly and engaged, which makes it a welcoming environment where people look out for one another. Although their sick policy was sometimes hard to manage as working parents, our daughters had a good foundation at Nelly's, and we would absolutely recommend them to any parent looking for high-quality, reliable care.

Any concerns or questions which we ever addressed to them were always resolved. No matter what question we had, we always saw friendly staff which is open, ready to help, and resolve any situation in the best way. Academics are great, which is big deal for us. After OOS, kids attend highly selective high schools, and doing great at rigorous classes; which is again a great compliment to OOS teachers for good preparation. OOS does a great job at helping their 8th grade students with the high school admission process. The school community is wonderful, great families, many of which became our close friends. The classes are small, allowing each student to grow. There are always lots of opportunities for parents to be actively involved in school life, but it is not mandatory if your busy life does not allow you to do it. Highly recommended this school!

The classrooms are colorful and stimulating. The playground and classroom are always set up with a variety of activities. In the Tinytots and Kinderkids classes there is always a play-doh table that is stocked with homemade dough (colored and even sprinkled sometimes!). The class has a teacher, aide and parent helper in each class. Before we enrolled, we took the Parent Toddler classes that were held in the Tinytots classroom. It helped us both get comfortable with the room and how the format would work in preschool. Also, in the summers, many of the preschool staff work at the Campbell Community Center Summer Day camps so your child will see many familiar faces there as well. We hope to be at these camps well beyond our preschool years. I really can't say enough good things about this program. It is one of Campbell's treasures!

The teachers meet each student and family where they are, and are incredibly accommodating to help with a gentle transition. Through the co-op format, I'm active in my child's learning journey. It's also allowed me to really get to know the other parents, all who share similar values and approach to parenting and early education. The sense of community I've felt here is truly invaluable. There's many opportunities to socialize with other parents through events and field trips Most important, I know my daughter is in good hands. CPPP's play-based format and carefully thought out curriculum has allowed my daughter to blossom into a confident and capable student. Socially and emotionally, she has thrived and I'm so happy to see her come into her own and develop friendships. Thanks to the trust that's been built with her teachers and parent volunteers, she's able to communicate her needs and feels comfortable asking for help. Academically, she's developed many skills that will prepare her for kindergarten. Theres so many takeaways from this incredible school. One that stands out is the "Calming Corner" the teachers created this past year, a space where students can process big feelings with the help of several calming tools and techniques, including books on emotions and their own calming feather to practice breathing and mindfulness. This space resonated so much with my daughter that she asked us to create a Calming Corner at home for her! We use it regularly. Thank you CPPP for equipping the next generation with the tools and skills they need to become emotionally intelligent and empathetic humans! I always struggled with the idea of my daughter being away from me. I highly recommend CPPP and the parent participation format for any parent who struggles with the same concept. CPPP is the perfect gentle transition for this, and the teachers and other parents are extremely supportive. I also highly recommend CPPP for parents and caregivers who want to be active in their child's learning journey in a safe and supportive environment.

SJMS is a true Montessori school, taking the time to not only practice the Montessori method but also to educate parents about the method. The school is small, just two classrooms with two dedicated teachers in each classroom, so the student-teacher ratio is quite good.
