Nature's Gift is, in my opinion, one of the best preschools in the Bay Area. We have experienced…read morethree to four different preschools and daycares, and Nature's Gift truly stands out as the best. The teachers are warm, kind, encouraging, professional, and very knowledgeable about child development. They don't just focus on academics -- they pay close attention to each child's independence, social skills, emotional growth, and individual needs. Their yearly evaluations are thoughtful, detailed, and clearly aligned with children's developmental milestones. My child had a speech delay, and with the support, patience, and encouragement from the teachers, he made incredible progress and was able to catch up with other children his age. We also had an IEP program through the school district, and every time the district teachers contacted Nature's Gift to understand how my child was doing, they were always impressed by how well his preschool teachers knew him and understood his development. One thing that really makes Nature's Gift special is the way teachers truly engage with the children. In many preschools, you may see children running around on the playground while teachers supervise. At Nature's Gift, you will see teachers actively playing, interacting, and building connections with the kids. They are present and involved. The school is also very clean and well-maintained. Teachers constantly wipe tables, clean the environment, and remind children about hygiene, including cleaning hands regularly. We are so grateful for the love, care, and guidance our child received here. Nature's Gift has helped our child grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. I highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a place where their child will be truly seen, supported, and cared for.

There are 5-star preschools, and then there is Nature's Gift, which is honestly on a whole…read moredifferent level. When we started our search, we actually did the deep dive research and found that there is no other preschool in the Bay Area that maintains a perfect 5-star reputation on Yelp. So, why is Nature's Gift so exceptional? Having watched our daughter grow there over the last two years, here is why: 1. Heart Over Everything: Ms. YinYin, the school director, emphasizes quality and love over everything else. Unlike the big preschool chains where it often feels like the focus is on revenues or rapid expansion over the actual kids, Nature's Gift stays true to its mission. In those corporate settings, you often see teachers just snapping pictures to please parents instead of actually taking the time to work with the children and show genuine care, not Nature's Gift. 2. A Genuine Community: The teachers are all incredibly loving and truly care about the kids--as a parent, you can literally feel that warmth the moment you walk in. Our daughter's experience was so positive that she would even ask to go to school on the weekends. That's the highest praise a kid can give. 3. Authenticity Over "Shiny" Facilities: To be fair, the facility is small; it isn't some brand-new, "shining" building like the chains. But we quickly learned that the environment is built on substance and love, not just aesthetics. Looking back, my wife and I both agree that sending our daughter to Nature's Gift is the single best decision we've made as young parents. If you want a place where your child is truly loved and not just a number, this is it.

We toured our…read morefair share of preschools/daycares in the area for our older child, and in my opinion, nothing comes close to ABC, where our younger one just graduated. Maroof and her entire team are wonderful. They've been with us through so many stages -- from diapers, to potty training, to eventually using the bathroom independently -- and have always been supportive and collaborative every step of the way. I also really appreciate how much thought they put into the kids' everyday experiences. The lesson plans, Fall Festival, winter and spring concerts, Summer Olympics, animal petting days... everything is planned so thoughtfully and the kids have so much fun. A very special mention to Ms. Jen. We saw so much growth in our child during his TK year. She is incredibly compassionate, really cares about the children, and takes the time to understand and support them. It's honestly bittersweet to be moving on after 3 years. ABC has been such a big part of our child's early years, and we truly feel they've helped set our child up for success as they head to kindergarten. We're going to miss everyone there so much!

Finding a preschool where your children are genuinely loved, challenged, and excited to go every…read moremorning is rare--and that's exactly what we found here. From the very beginning, our children felt safe, happy, and excited to walk into school each day. They weren't just cared for--they were truly known as individuals. The teachers took the time to understand their personalities, encourage their strengths, and help them become more independent, kind, curious, and confident. Looking back over the past few years, it's incredible to see how much they've grown, not only academically but socially and emotionally as well. As working parents, there is no greater gift than complete peace of mind. Knowing our children were in such caring, capable, and loving hands every day allowed us to focus on work with confidence, knowing they were safe, happy, and thriving. What really sets ABC Magic Moments apart is the thought and intention behind everything they do. Every week is filled with creative, hands-on learning through themed lessons, science, art, outdoor exploration, music, special events, and memorable experiences like the Summer Olympics and animal presentations. The children have so much fun that they don't even realize how much they're learning. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Maroof, Ms. Jen, Ms. Shamim, and the entire team. Their warmth, patience, and dedication are truly exceptional. They create a nurturing environment where every child feels valued, and they build genuine partnerships with parents through thoughtful communication and unwavering support. As our children move on to elementary school, it's bittersweet to say goodbye. ABC Magic Moments has been so much more than a preschool--it has been a place where our children built confidence, friendships, a love of learning, and memories they'll carry with them for years to come. Thank you for giving our children such a wonderful start in life. We will always be grateful for the love, guidance, and care you showed our family. If you're looking for a preschool that combines outstanding education with genuine love and care for every child, I wholeheartedly recommend ABC Magic Moments. We feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of this wonderful community.

Mother's day, Father's day, Halloween, Christmas and the graduation party, all very well organized and I don't know how much effort they put into it so that we can see a great performance like this.

We've had our child at Learn and Play Maple Campus for over two years now and it honestly has been…read moreone of the best decisions we've made as parents. Our kiddo is in kindergarten and watching her grow, both academically and socially has been really something. Let's start with the curriculum because it genuinely surprised us. It goes well beyond the basics. Kids get exposure to STEM topics, Spanish and even yoga, and there's still plenty of time carved out for outdoor play every day. It doesn't feel rushed or overly structured. The balance is just right for this age group. The food situation is also worth mentioning because not every school gets this right. Maple has a no microwave, no fridge policy, which sounds strict at first but it actually encourages parents to send fresh, healthy food. The school also provides healthy snacks. And if you're a working parent who doesn't always have time to prep a lunch, Ms. Radhika launched a fresh hot lunch program. You enroll at the start of the month and your child gets a freshly made hot lunch each day. The price is very reasonable (around $5 per meal), and even though we haven't personally used the service, we think it's a fantastic option for busy families. Another thing Ms. Radhika introduced is a partnership with Amazing Athletes, a dedicated sports program that comes in once a week. The idea is to introduce kids to a variety of sports so they can figure out what they actually enjoy, rather than being pushed into one thing early. It's a great way to get them moving and curious about athletics. The program runs about $80 a month and is totally worth it. On the practical side, parking is never a headache here. There's a dedicated lot with plenty of space, so you're never circling the block or rushing to a street spot at drop-off. Our kiddo and her friends sometimes hang out in the parking area after pickup for a little impromptu snack party, which tells you something about how comfortable and unhurried the whole vibe is there. The campus itself is really well set up. The playground area is nicely shaded, surrounded by trees and has a solid fence so kids can run around freely without you worrying. With only six classrooms, this is a smaller campus compared to some of the bigger Learn and Play locations, and that's honestly a plus. The staff knows every child, the class sizes stay manageable, and your kid doesn't get lost in the shuffle. For staying connected, they use the BrightPath Connect app, which sends you updates throughout the day so you always know what's going on. As a working parent, that kind of visibility is really reassuring. And then there's Ms. Radhika. She has been the heartbeat of this campus. She knows every child personally, is always available when parents have questions or concerns, and has built something that genuinely feels like a community. The warmth starts with her and flows through the whole staff. I can go on and on. In summary, if you're a working parent looking for a school where your child will be challenged, cared for, and truly happy, Maple Campus is absolutely worth checking out. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

We have had a wonderful experience with Learn and Play Montessori (Maple campus), and choosing this…read moredaycare for our child has been among the most meaningful and impactful decisions we have made as parents. We have had the opportunity to interact with most of the teachers over time, and every single one of them has been extremely caring, soft, gentle, and patient with the kids -- while also being firm and consistent in teaching good habits, manners, structure, and discipline. That balance is incredibly important, and they do it beautifully. Our child started here at just 2 years old and almost instantly formed a strong bond with Miss Nasreen and Miss Yaimara, which made the transition so much easier for us as parents. As our child grew, Miss Ellah and Miss Ishita became the primary teachers in the following year, and our child bonded just as well with them -- we could clearly see their warmth, dedication, and positive influence. We are especially grateful to Radhika (Director), along with the wonderful teachers Miss Carmen and Miss Stephanie, who have all contributed meaningfully to our child's journey. The school does an excellent job of tracking progress and sharing regular feedback -- both positive and constructive. Even when kids are being a little mischievous (as all kids do!), the teachers handle it with so much patience, care, and professionalism, always turning it into a learning opportunity rather than a negative experience. Over time, we have seen significant development in our child -- socially, emotionally, academically, and in good manners and behavior. The progress from when we first enrolled to where our child is today has been incredibly reassuring and rewarding to witness. They have sufficient parking, and drop-off and pick-up are easy to handle. The entry and exit are well monitored, with a front desk assistant always present and strong CCTV coverage, which gives us great peace of mind around safety. Most importantly, our child is happy, confident, and excited to go to school every day, and comes home with new skills, stories, and a smile. As parents, that sense of trust and comfort is everything. We feel extremely fortunate to be part of this community and are deeply grateful to the entire team for the love, structure, and care they provide. Very highly recommended for any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and growth-focused environment for their child.

We started our son in the preschool program and we instantly saw him blossom. Little Apples gave him a safe space to learn and grow, which has now led to such confidence and kindness in our child. Miss Sharon, Miss Wendy, Miss Ashley, and all of the staff here have been so wonderful to us and we can't thank them enough for the wonderful experience. When my husband and I first visited the school, we both saw it as our dream school for our son. As competitive as it is, we were lucky enough to have our son enrolled. Every interaction we've had with Little Apples has been nothing but positive. The staff is super responsive, attentive, and caring. Any time we had questions, they were so quick to respond. They are very committed to ensuring your child is in good hands and well taken care of. The facility is immaculate and they really promote a fun yet educational program that will get your child engaged. We will be forever grateful to Little Apples for helping our son grow into his own.

I started my daughter at little apples at the age of 3 during the pandemic and my son at the age of 2. At the time little apples took all the precautionary measures to keep the students and their family safe. Miss Sharon has always been extremely responsive to questions and my concerns. I appreciated that I could email or call and ask for a short meeting to discuss any concerns I might have had. For example I was concerned about my son's transition to preschool given he was a "biter" but I was reassured by Ms. Sharon with how the staff would handle these types of situations. My daughter has continued with little apples and has been attending their afterschool enrichment program which includes homework help, learning Mandarin, science, STEM, and art. Fastfoward my daughter is now in 2nd grade and my son is in kindergarten, both attending the afterschool program and loving every moment. The staff go above and beyond and both my children have only positive things to share with me when I ask them about their day. They've made so many friends and I've gotten to know many of the other parents. Would highly recommend Little Apples
