If it weren't for the need to move her on to preschool, we would happily let her stay here forever! This may not be the newest or fanciest daycare in the neighborhood, but it is always very clean, organized, and well run. The sick policy is also more flexible compared to chain daycares, where even minor symptoms can mean at least 24 hours at home. Surprisingly, during these two years my daughter has been sick fewer than five times. Both teachers, Nicole and Sandy, are absolutely fantastic. Sandy is incredibly caring and patient--she comforts the little ones by holding them, feeding them when needed, and soothing them to sleep during naps. Thanks to her, my daughter only cried for about 10 minutes on her very first morning, and after that she was happy to come every single day. Nicole is a wonderful educator--always energetic and engaging. My daughter has learned so much here, from Chinese and English colors, shapes, animals, and numbers, to singing many songs in both languages. When we went on preschool tours, one admissions officer even joked that she already knows enough to start kindergarten! Ally also goes above and beyond with communication. Each Sunday we receive the weekly lunch menu, and every day we get photos of meals and many snapshots of daily activities. Breakfast and dinner are also available if needed. At pickup time, parents receive a detailed daily report on paper, which we really appreciate. Overall, we couldn't recommend Ally's daycare more highly. It truly is a hidden gem in the area, and we feel so grateful for the care, love, and learning our daughter has experienced here.

It's been three months since my daughter last attended Happy…read moredaycare, and just today while we were playing, she suddenly said, "Hurry up!" -- the first time I've ever heard her say that. I assumed it was something her new teachers say, but she quickly corrected me: "No, no, Andrea says hurry up!" She then went right back to playing, laughing and calling out, "hurry up hurry up!!" That moment alone speaks volumes about how much Andrea means to my daughter. She started at Happy daycare when she was just 1.5 years old. As a first-time mom, I cried on her first day, and Arti sat with me, gently reassuring me that we just needed to give her time to build trust. I can't express how much it meant knowing they understood this was her first time away from home. Within a week, the tears stopped. On her last day, I was the one still in tears because Andrea wouldn't be caring for my little girl anymore. Andrea is incredibly kind and patient. She cared for my daughter with so much warmth that even on weekends, my little one would ask to go see her and this happened more times than I can count. I never had to worry about food it was all taken care of at the daycare. During a medical emergency with my daughter, both Andrea and Arti stayed with her until I arrived, then remained by my side as we figured out the next steps. My daughter still misses Andrea to this day, and I know she will for a long time.

Our son started at Little Sunshine when he was 6 months old (now almost 2 years old) and choosing…read moreLSHD has been one of the best decisions we made as first time parents. We have considered moving out of Sunnyvale to be closer to our workplaces, but each time we go back to not wanting our son to change schools and wanting to be close to Little Sunshine if we have a second child. Here are my favorite things about LSHD: Loving and supportive environment - Cecilia, Yuri, Mari and Ana love and care for our son as if he was part of their own family. I was sad and nervous to leave my baby when my maternity leave ended, and knowing he was in a loving environment that was as close to being loved on at home was one of the only consolations. The team provides our son with homemade, delicious meals that he eats each day, despite barely eating anything we make at home. When he was a baby, they diligently followed our feeding requests and warmed breast milk brought from home and worked on introducing solids. Our son is very spirited and at times has had challenges sharing, taking turns, shouting etc. and they have worked with him on these skills with the utmost patience and support for his individual development. Cleanliness - Cecilia's home is incredibly clean and filled with colorful, engaging toys. I don't want to jinx it, but our son has also avoided any major illnesses commonly picked up at daycare and has not been sick constantly which we were very afraid of when starting child care. He also comes home clean every day, but on the weekends we probably go through two -three outfits a day! Not sure how they do it. Knowledgable - As other reviewers have stated, Cecilia is so empathetic and encouraging for first time parents. She will work through any concerns you may have for your child while carefully listening and offering gentle advice and reassurance. The staff has had over a decade of experience with so many children so it is invaluable to hear their perspective on any concerns you may have. Play based learning - I was not someone who was looking for an academic environment for my very young child and instead valued a loving and caring space for him to play and naturally learn. Our son has exceeded all my expectations for what he could know before the age of two. He can count and say his colors in English and Spanish, has learned about days of the week and the calendar, and can recognize individual letters and the sounds they make. Reliable and open communication - I think in 1.5 years there has been one single day of unplanned closure due to a power outage. They share their vacation schedule well in advance so you can appropriately plan. They share photos and text updates that make my day while at work. I highly recommend Little Sunshine Daycare for anyone looking for a safe, reliable, loving, nurturing and clean home environment for your child. Cecilia is truly passionate about early childhood education and care and I feel so lucky she provides this service to our community.

Ms Cici is a prompt communicator and gives us regular updates. As first-time parents, I can honestly say that they've been true partners every step of the way. We'd highly recommend Little Sunshine to anyone considering!

They also provide regular photo updates during the day. We joined this daycare through a friend's recommendation and have enjoyed seeing our daughter thrive.

We've had a wonderful experience throughout this time. He has transformed from a shy little one who was nervous around new people into a confident, outgoing and talkative toddler. The teachers are incredibly warm, affectionate, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping the kids learn and grow. Every day is filled with fun, age-appropriate, and engaging activities that keep the children excited about learning. I also really appreciate the values they instill in the kids . They learn to play well together, take turns, and wait patiently for their turn. This strong focus on social development helps the children build friendships easily and interact kindly with one another. The staff also goes above and beyond in celebrating holidays and festivals, making each occasion special and memorable for the kids. When we were first touring daycares, what stood out most to us about Tulip was how warm, knowledgeable, and hands-on the director, Ms. Nikki, was. She knew every child by name, how their day had gone, and seemed to have a deep understanding of each one's unique needs. We also loved how the school helped make the transition to daycare smooth by allowing parents to accompany their child for the first few days. This thoughtful approach really put our minds at ease. The classrooms are clean, bright, and spacious, and the shaded outdoor play area is perfectly designed for all the different age groups. I especially appreciate that the infants have their own dedicated play area. The school also provides detailed daily updates through Procare, so we always know what our son ate, how long he napped, and how much he enjoyed his activities. The meals they serve are nutritious, wholesome, and include a nice variety of cuisines. I'd like to give a special shoutout to Ms. Jenny (from the infant class) for doing a phenomenal job connecting with the little ones, engaging them in creative ways, and offering us valuable feedback on how to support their development at home. I'm also very grateful to Ms. Gina (from the preschool class) for caring so deeply about each child's growth and taking a personalized approach to help them learn and strengthen any skills they may need extra support with. She provides detailed feedback every day and designs thoughtful, engaging activities to encourage learning and development. Their passion for their work truly shines through. We feel so lucky to have found Tulip Kids Academy and can't recommend it highly enough!

I love the attention to detail regarding the safety/security of entering/leaving the building. The facility is clean, spacious, and felt like a home away from home. I can tell my son was immediately at ease and engaged to discover/explore both the indoor/outdoor play area. It makes me nostalgic of my memories attending daycare/preschool growing up. The school director, teachers, and staff have been nothing short of amazing and full of warmth. It is unquestionable that they operate with passion and all have extensive experience and a deep understanding in this space. They have been helpful answering questions and communicating the procedure in how they operate from day one. I am really looking forward to how my son develops here. There will be a lot of "firsts" within the walls of Santa Clara's TKA; first steps, first words, and first school best friends.

He started at 21 months old and recently transitioned to the Thomas Road location as he turns 3. Incredible Teachers: Ms. Katie, Ms. Cho, Ms. Choi, Ms. Lim, Ms. Tessa, and Ms. Allison create a remarkably safe and nurturing environment. Ms. Katie brings decades of Montessori experience to the structured setup. Ms. Cho warmly welcomes the kids every morning, and Ms. Katie personally sees them off on most evenings with individual feedback for the parents. Great Communication: They use a fantastic mobile app for easy check-ins, payments, and school updates. Best of all, they sent pictures and videos of our toddler throughout the day getting those updates at work and seeing him grow was such a dopamine hit! Life Skills & Activities: They actively help with potty training, self-feeding, and learning to put on shoes etc. They also host great activities like yoga, pumpkin patch outings, summer camps, teachers appreciation day and Mother's Day celebrations. Structured day: Ms Katie has created a toddler curriculum, they have designated nap-time, play time and a lot of Montessori toys to keep the children engaged. Food & Care: They provide food but allow home-packed lunches. Our toddler was a fussy eater, and Ms. Cho was incredibly helpful in working with him on this. We couldn't be happier with our decision. The recent transition to their Thomas Road location was seamless (and honestly deserves its own 5-star review).

The level of love, joy, and care that all of the caregivers provided was beyond outstanding. We had to relocate from the Bay Area and were incredibly sad to leave. Our daughter was well fed, felt deeply loved, and built so much confidence in their care. I never had to worry about what she was doing during the day because I knew she was in incredible hands. She even became a bilingual baby, speaking Spanish alongside English at home. Not to mention, I learned so much from them as a parent; from patience and gentle reinforcement techniques to learning how to style my daughter's hair in such beautiful ways. At her new school, our daughter kept saying the names of all her caregivers and friends, talking about how much she missed them for months. Honestly, as a parent, hearing that was really hard to stomach, but it truly showed the lasting impact they left on her. They are an incredible group of women who are hard to forget and will forever be part of our village.

Sina has guided him through every milestone, and I trust her 100% with my baby. She genuinely loves and cares for each of the kids under her care, and my son has truly thrived. He's barely gotten sick if ever from daycare due to Sina's care (and great protocols during COVID), and he loves to eat Sina's delicious and nutritious cooking. She provided all the utensils cups etc so everything was super easy for us. She also shared tons of adorable pics and videos of the kids regularly. Given the small class size, each kid is able to enjoy a lot of attention and care. Her pricing is extremely fair and affordable, and she is a wonderful, kind and reasonable person. We plan to send my daughter to Sina as well next year after my maternity leave.

The transformation we have seen in him over these two years has just been remarkable. It all started in the junior preschool class. Ms. Martha, Ms. Gabi, and Ms. Shilpa really worked with him there, helping build his confidence, working on his social skills, getting him comfortable with arts and crafts. And you could tell, he genuinely loved being in that classroom with his teachers. Then there was Ms. Yesi and Ms. Celina, who just gave him this incredible personal attention. Something as small as greeting him at the door every morning, or giving him a little sticker, or Ms. Yesi just noticing the tiny little details about him, it really made a difference in how comfortable and happy he felt going to school every day. Ms. Alexa and Ms. Mai also stepped in around that time and helped engage the whole class so beautifully. Both of them just had such tender hearts when it came to nurturing these little kids. Then came the transition to the preschool classroom, and you know how transitions can be for toddlers, they can be really hard. But because he moved up together with his teachers and his friends, the whole thing felt so much smoother, for him and honestly for us as parents too. Beyond just academics, the teachers also worked with him on everyday life skills, like eating with a bib, little things like that, and it really helped him grow into a genuinely independent kid. Today, our son is a confident, independent three and a half year old, and we are just so proud of him and so grateful to the entire Tulip staff. The preschool classroom teachers, Ms. Ayushree, Ms. Pooja, Ms. Gabi, and Ms. Shilpa, have honestly done wonders keeping the classroom engaged. And anyone who has spent time with a room full of preschoolers knows that is not an easy job. But between arts and crafts, storytelling time, coloring sheets, worksheets, they have painstakingly worked with him and helped him become such an independent learner. We are especially grateful to Ms. Ayushree, who took the time to teach him our native language, and to the entire staff for giving him exposure to Spanish as well. We also want to say a big thank you to Ms. Lisa, who manages the kitchen. She actively engages with the kids too, and it really feels like she is nourishing their minds right along with their bodies. Beyond the classroom, the sports program made such a big impact on him too. The monthly sports activities were something he always looked forward to, always excited about, and he especially loved working with Coach Aaron. The dance class was another highlight for him, it really helped him connect with music and movement in a way we did not expect. Overall, our son has had a truly wonderful experience at Tulip, and we really hope the school continues to grow, so that many more families get to be enriched by it the way ours has been.
