We love Kiki! My son was at Kiki daycare from 5 months until he turned 3 and recently moved on to preschool. All of his big milestones (sitting up, crawling, walking, talking, self-feeding, playing nice with others) were thanks in part to Kiki. We also loved that Kiki is a Mandarin immersion daycare. We speak predominantly English at home, and he would come home teaching US how to sing in Chinese! Since my son is now in a preschool where we have to pack lunch, I'd also like to reiterate the review below about missing Kiki's healthy meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner!). I would highly recommend anyone looking for a daycare that's caring, nurturing, clean, and thorough to choose Kiki daycare! read more

We started sending our daughter to Kiki daycare since she was 1. She is now in preschool and we are so grateful for everything she's learned while at Kiki daycare. I see so many great mannerisms influenced by Kiki. Kiki has helped us through so many things, from weaning my daughter off her pacifier (that she was VERY attached to) and getting her fully potty trained at 2 years old! It would have been so much more difficult without Kiki. We are so amazed at how she made these processes so easy for us. Now that my daughter is in preschool and we have to make our own food for her, we are really missing the meals that Kiki provided! When we have our next kid, we will for sure send them to Kiki daycare! read more

Both my kids attended to KiKi daycare and were happy everyday. The environment is clean and organized. The home meals provided are planned and well balanced. Daily routine is set, such as circle time, singing/ dancing, play and learn, nap time so that helped kids self-discipline. The teacher, Kiki, is responsible and experienced. The daycare cares everyone's health and implemented a list of personal hygiene. We all loved Kiki and highly recommended! read more

Our daughter attended Kiki Daycare for 2 years. She started at 5 months old and with the warmth and care of Kiki and her team, we felt comfortable and not worried. We love that meals are provided. They speak Cantonese and sing songs in Mandarin. They take health and safety seriously. They celebrate holidays and birthdays and make it fun for the kids. They provide updates regularly and sometimes even photos. Our daughter comes home singing songs (sometimes with little choreographed movements ). She brings home little artwork. Depending on the holiday, she also brings home gifts and favors. You could just feel the love and thoughtfulness not only with Kiki and her team but from the other families as well. We would definitely recommend Kiki Daycare without hesitation. read more

My son attended Kiki Daycare for a year and a half and had a great time there! Kiki and her team were very loving to my son, and took care of him like one of their own. During my son's time there one thing that especially impressed me was that my son had not caught a cold while at daycare. When he did have a cold we traced it back to his brother rather than having caught it at daycare. I think Kiki and her team are really attentive to the kids in practicing good hygiene and wearing jackets when cold, reducing layers when hot etc. They also make sure kids are well fed and hydrated. I would definitely recommend Kiki Daycare to anyone looking for attentive caretakers for their young children! read more

I only take the time to write terrible reviews or rave reviews. This is a rave review! Our son attended Kiki Daycare from age 1 to almost 3, and I know he loved every day of it. I know because once he learned to walk, he would run into their arms smiling every day; at home, he would sing songs he learned at daycare. The scary idea of a daycare is that you have to entrust your child to someone who will see your child awake more than you. Those caretakers basically become second parents. Kiki, Jojo (her daughter), and Yeye (their helper) make great second parents. It's easy to trust them because they're so clearly passionate about childcare and have so experience. Kiki Daycare is full service: - They provide breakfast, homemade lunches, snacks, milk, and water - They send photos and videos periodically - They have indoor and outdoor activities, including circle time, singing songs, crafts, and basic education in English and Chinese - They assist with sleep transitions and potty training - They provide daily updates at pickup, i.e. how they ate, how they slept, if they pooped, and any behavioral concerns Kiki's primary language is Chinese, but we never had any issues exchanging updates, and when necessary, Jojo helped facilitate more complex communication. The facility is super clean! Sanitation was ALWAYS a top priority at Kiki Daycare long before COVID ever hit. When our son showed signs of Hand Foot Mouth, they turned him away until it clearly resolved. They even went the extra mile to sanitize their whole facility and every toy again - just in case. When COVID hit, Kiki Daycare implemented every safety protocol and did well to communicate the changes with us. Our son no longer attends Kiki Daycare, but he continues to ask us to pray for Kiki every night - and weeks later, Kiki even followed up to see how my son was transitioning to preschool. Kiki genuinely cares for her children. We're so thankful to have had our son attend their daycare, and if we ever have another child, we know where we're going! read more

Kiki and her daycare are definitely amazing. We sent our daughter there since she was 10 months old until this week, when she started going to the preschool. In fact, this morning my daughter was crying and she said she missed Kiki so we 'had to' drive her back to Kiki's after school today to visit Kiki and Jojo (Kiki's daughter who used to help in Kiki daycare when my daughter started). My daughter definitely had a good 2 years in the daycare. First of all, nothing is more important than good hygiene in a daycare. Kiki's is dustless. I can evidence it by hearing the vacuum every afternoon when I picked up my daughter. They clean up toys and vacuum and clean the whole place daily. I had done a few daycare research before settling at Kiki's. Most of the daycares were somewhat understandably messy as kids running and playing . Some were better than the other but nothing is comparable to Kiki's. It is also very organized. All toys are put back to place when they are done. As much as you would perhaps take this for granted, wait until you have a kid or your kid starts crawling :) It is really hard to keep up to their speed in terms of cleaning and maintaining toys in the good spots. Secondly, my daughter has developed good manners and happy thoughts after 2 years going to Kiki. She is a very reasonable baby. I will give credits to Kiki for this. Thirdly, they also provide 2 meals and 2 snacks everyday. All food are organic ingredients. My daughter has great eating habits at Kiki's. This is also very helpful if you are full time working parents like my wife and I. They also helped us big time in potty training. While this is a big challenge for a lot of my friends' kids, it took my daughter 3 days. She started telling us to go pee pee on the 4th day and that was it. Of course this process varies significantly from kid to kid. So do not be frustrated if your kid needs more time. But how Kiki prepped my daughter - taking her to the toilet every hour for a few weeks before our official training - helped tremendously. As far as I heard from my friends, a common problem is that kids do not like to or realize to pee on a toilet. Kiki's prep helped a lot in this case. Also there are fun activities occasionally like coloring, painting, drawing and she comes home with new songs etc. At holidays or Fathers/Mothers days, there are surprises :) The bottom line is that you can tell Kiki genuinely cares about the kids. The fact that my daughter crying to go back to Kiki says everything. My wife and I already reversed our spot for our future second kid :) read more

Joanna and Kiki are amazing caregivers. My daughter was with Kiki Daycare for over a year and half. Unfortunately our family moved otherwise we would still be with Kiki. She truly loves Jojo and Kiki and even to this day (months later) she still continues to talk about them and the friends she made there. Kiki made my daughter's first daycare experience a joy and eliminated the additional stress for me knowing that she was with people who cared for her. I never once heard the dreaded "I don't want to go to school" from her. She always looked forward to going to Kiki's. Meals are provided in a clean, nurturing environment. Holidays are celebrated and we were sent pictures to see how our daughter was doing through out the day, especially in the beginning. And to sum it up, we love Kiki Daycare so much I actually drove 30 minutes out of my way (each way!) for almost 3 months so my daughter could continue to attend there. If Kiki Daycare was closer to our home, I would enroll my daughter in a heartbeat! read more

This review is long overdue. My son has been with Kiki Daycare for 3 years and will be attending preschool. As mentioned in previous reviews, the facility is super clean. They provide meals and snacks, have crafts and activities to keep the kids busy, have holiday celebrations, and periodically send pictures to parents. Due to they pandemic, they had to close for 3 months. When they notified us of reopening, we were not hesitant to have our son go back since we know that they will have the proper precautions in place. Some COVID protocols include staff wearing masks, drop off and pickup at door, temperature checks and screening, and having separate shoes for the child to be used at the facility (they have a bench outside so that the children can take off their shoes and there is a basket to put the shoe). We've really enjoyed our time at Kiki Daycare and will miss Kiki and her staff! read more

We are so lucky to have found KiKi's Daycare! Our first child was with her for almost 3 years until preschool(she is still talking all the good times she has had with Kiki), and our second child is attending now, she goes home with laughs every day. Kiki is a caring person and is very patient to deal with my child for any special need. She keeps kids busy, always doing crafts, activities, and when the weather is nice, she brings the kids to the outside backyard playing. She likes to update us with messages/pictures, so we won't miss any special moments of our child in daycare. Also, this place is the cleanest daycare we have ever been to. We absolutely LOVE KiKi's Daycare! We would strongly recommend her to any other parents who want their babies loved like family. read more

Excellent Daycare! Kiki is caring and attentive, creating a safe and nurturing environment for the kids. My son loves going there and has shown great progress in social skills and learning. Highly recommended! read more

We love Kiki! Our daughter has been under her care for over a year, starting from when she was about 8 months old. I was very anxious putting her in daycare, but was quickly assured by Kiki's warmth and attentiveness. Kiki cares a lot about health and cleanliness. She also brought out a love of music in our daughter. She's singing all the time. Would 100% recommend. read more

We have had a wonderful 2 years with KiKi Daycare, they have truly loved and cared for our son as if their own, he is always happy and excited to go to 'school' everyday. Meals are healthy, the home is spotless and the care of our child is beyond compare. If you are looking for a local home based day care that will look after your child with lots of love, care and joy, ...this is the place! read more

My son started staying in this daycare since 16 months old till 3 years old. He loves the food and the environment provided by Kiki. She is the best! I am recommending my friends here as well. If you need a daycare which speaks Cantonese, professional in her services and makes good Chinese food for your kid- definitely come to Kiki. Plz reserve early as her positions are filled quick. read more

This is one of the best and cleanest family daycares i've ever experienced. We found Kit last year when i was searching daycare for my daughter. After touring couple other places, it was a pretty easy decision to go with Kit. Yes, this is a family daycare but Kit kind of runs it like a school, no time is wasted, she knows how to keep the kids busy. Her place is bright, open and sooooo clean. She is super organized and totally clutter free which means a cleaner and healthier environment for the kiddies. She cooks fresh meals daily and offers kids healthy snacks & organic milk. They do plenty of activities & crafts to keep the little hands and minds busy. She recently got my daughter potty trained, and it is such a relief on my part... YAY! I feel really fortunate to have found Kit as i know my little one is in great hands with people who really cares and who genuinely loves kids. read more

After touring about 5-6 daycare's in the east bay, Mrs. Kit personality and her genuine love for kids has top my list as i'm in the market for daycare services for my son. 5 Stars period! My son instantly felt in love with Mrs. Kit which was definitely a plus! Daycare was extremely clean, neat and organized. Pros: 8a-6p Hot lunches cooked on site (including snacks and fruits) Small classes Mrs. Kit's experiences with young kids read more

Amazing caretakers. They provide meals, teach Mandarin/Cantonese, and plan awesome activities. I get frequent updates on my kid's status and she seems happy to attend. I definitely recommend Kiki's daycare to anyone looking for a great place for their little ones. read more

Ms Kit is a very nice and passionate teacher who has a lot of experiences in teaching students! The environment of the daycare is clean too. This is a highly recommended daycare! read more

My wife and I dedicate our entire lives and love to our kids. Unfortunately we have something called "work" that does not allow us to be with them as much as we would like. To be able to entrust this responsibility of care for them is very hard to find in a daycare. All that has been reviewed about Kiki's is very true. My oldest is attending a Montessori school in Alameda and I have to state that Kiki's daycare standards are on par with if not better than all the schools that we have toured. She thoroughly promotes all aspects of a child's development and I am more than confident that my son will be well prepared to succeed in his transition into school. My son literally begs to go to Kiki's everyday! It is such a joy to see his happy face look forward to ringing her doorbell every morning. Our family has had such a great experience at Kiki Daycare and will be recommending her to all. Thank you Kiki! read more

After an exhaustive search to find daycare for our 6 month old we were fortunate enough to stumble upon this family run daycare. Being so young it is normal for parents to feel some anxiety sending their baby to daycare, but after meeting Kit, we knew our daughter would be in very good hands. More than a year later our daughter is thriving and it speaks to how wonderful Kit and Joanna are. They treat every child as their own and keep the kids ENGAGED; whether its singing, playing games, reading or doing fun art projects there is always something to do. The language spoken is English and Chinese so if you're looking to expose your child, this is a great way. Our child's language skills are very good for her age. Kit cooks healthy meals using fresh ingredients (ex. broths are homecooked) and provides snacks all which my little one can't get enough of! We get daily updates and they send pictures/videos. Prior to opening her own daycare she had worked at a daycare in San Francisco so that's a bonus! read more
