As a first-time mom, finding childcare for my son when he was just 5-6 months old was incredibly…read morenerve‑wracking. I was especially anxious because he was (and still is!) a fussy eater. At home, I was always very attentive--if he didn't feed well, I'd offer the bottle again shortly after--and I knew I needed someone who would give him that same level of care and patience. We toured several daycares, but none of them fully put us at ease until we met Lidiana. From the moment we walked into her daycare, we were impressed. Lidiana's calm nature, her genuine love for what she does, and her flexibility in doing what's best for each individual child really stood out. Her attention to detail and the way she truly listens to parents made us feel confident almost instantly. Her team is equally wonderful--kind, patient, and incredibly caring, which I believe is absolutely essential in this line of work. We knew right away that this would be the best place for our son, and we were so right. One of the things we love most is how active and engaged the kids are. They're not cooped up indoors all day--there's a big backyard for playtime, and the kids are regularly taken to a nearby park and library, which was very important to us. The food deserves a special mention too: fresh, delicious, and nutritious meals every day with great variety. My husband and I often joke that the food sounds so good and well‑balanced that we wish we could be part of the meal plan too! What truly makes this daycare special is how personal it feels. Lidiana and her team know each child's likes, dislikes, and little quirks, so your child never feels like just one of many--they get care and attention that feels just like home. And finally, the photos shared through the app are such a joy to receive; they capture the sweetest moments and always brighten our day. We feel so grateful to have found this place and we highly recommend Rain or Shine Daycare to all the parents.

When we toured the other locations we were using Rain or Shine as our benchmark and we just could not find another place that measured up. I will break this review into different sections: Care Lidiana and all the other care staff are incredibly caring. They made our daughter feel like family every day she was there. Our daughter grew attached to all of them and cared for all of them. She would tell stories or was excited to see each of them the night before. Pick up/drop off and Communication Very easy, we have two kids at the daycare and the staff is very helpful. Lidiana always lets us know when we are running low on supplies so we can make sure to keep our kids well stocked. We also enjoy spending time talking with Lidiana and learning how she is doing, new behaviors, and interesting tidbits about our kid. Food and Cleanliness They take care of all of it, it is very convenient not having to worry about food for our toddler and she is being fed healthy and diverse foods. There are pictures in the app of what they ate that day. The space is very clean, parents are asked to take off their shoes before entering the play area and the backyard is well kept and great for the kids to play. Activities Kids get to do art, go to the library, go to the playground, play in the backyard, there's internal play areas, and a ton of other activities. They also get to learn portuguese. In all, this is a place were we felt great with the care our kid would receive and we have been very pleased with all the above sections: great staff, great food, great activities, and all around amazing

Our son attended Fun Learning for about six months before transitioning to a preschool closer to…read morehome when he was around 2.5 years old. We had a wonderful experience throughout our time there. Drop-offs and pickups were always smooth, and the staff were warm, caring, and genuinely enjoyed working with the children. It was clear that the kids were well cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. The tuition was also very affordable and offered great value. While we ultimately chose a more academically focused preschool that was closer to home, we honestly would have been happy keeping our son at Fun Learning until kindergarten. Ms. Rachel, the owner, is incredibly kind, accommodating, and truly cares about the families she serves. We highly recommend Fun Learning to any parents looking for a trustworthy, caring daycare.

She's…read morealmost 2 and has already grown so much--she's more verbal every week and comes home excited about the new things she's learned. Rachel and her team provide such a loving, safe, and enriching environment. Connelly has made friends, eats well, naps well, and is always happy to go in the mornings (a huge relief for us as parents!). We especially appreciate how Rachel blends play, early education, music, and even bilingual learning into the day--it's more than just childcare, it's a real foundation for growth. This place feels like family, and we wholeheartedly recommend Rachel's daycare to any parent looking for both nurturing care and meaningful learning.

We've had a really positive experience at Happy Hearts in Burlingame. The first thing that stood…read moreout to us was how clean and well kept everything is. It immediately gives you peace of mind. More importantly, our daughter has built close relationships with her teachers, Lily, Adriana, and Leila. You can genuinely tell they enjoy what they do and care about the kids. Since starting there, she has been talking a lot more and has clearly developed stronger social skills. She has made a solid group of friends, which has been great to see. We also really appreciate the structure they provide. They handle breakfast, lunch, and a snack after nap time. That is one less daily stress for us. They make an effort to get the kids outside, which we think is important. Communication has been strong. They send updates when we ask and share photos, which helps us feel connected to her day. They have also been flexible with drop off and pick up times, which makes life easier.

I am so happy with our decision to put our daughter in daycare at Happy Hearts. It's not a daycare,…read moreit's a family. At this age, the most important things to me are love and safety and I could not ask for more in these departments. You can tell the teachers genuinely care for the children - this seems like more than a job to them. It warms my heart to see the connection my daughter has built with the teachers. The learning also seems solid for this age. Today my daughter started counting by tens all the way to the 100 and I was impressed she learned it at school. The owner of the daycare is wonderful and even came to our home to drop off a Father's Day present the students had made. If you're looking for a safe space where your child can be loved and cared for, I could not recommend Happy Hearts more.

Even though it's a relatively new facility (just about a year old), they've created such a warm, welcoming, and enriching environment for the kids. The space is beautiful, with high-quality wooden toys and a fantastic outdoor area where the kids spend a lot of time--even in colder weather, which we really appreciate. Encouraging outdoor play in all seasons is so important, and this daycare really prioritizes it. The food is another standout feature: they serve homemade, mostly organic meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with healthy snacks. It's such a relief knowing the kids are eating nutritious, well-prepared food. The staff here are wonderful, but we especially love teacher Natalia. She is so kind and genuinely cares for the children. You can see how much she loves what she does, and it makes a huge difference. Our son loves going here, and we've noticed how much he's grown and learned from all the activities. They do lots of art projects and other creative learning activities every day, which keeps them engaged and excited to go back. This daycare has truly been a blessing for us, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nurturing, fun, and high-quality place for their little ones.

Our toddler has just started at IntellectOne 6 weeks ago, and it has been going really great! We…read morevisited several daycares and knew immediately that IntellectOne was the right fit when we first visited because my son was just immediately so comfortable there. The space is bright, clean, happy with a lot of fun, educational toys. Every week, we are sent the weekly menu of nutritious, truly healthy meals that are offered to the kids. The nutritious meals are such a big help for us, because we don't need to worry about making sure he has enough vegetables and protein during weekdays at home, which take a big load off our plates. The outdoor play area are nice and all play structures/ toys are new. My child is happy and thriving. Ms Natalia and Elisa are so wonderful, sweet, and capable. I feel completely at peace when my child is in their hands. I can't recommend IntellectOne enough!

She is incredibly patient with the kids and always plans a variety of engaging activities to keep them stimulated -- sensory play, music and singing, gardening, art projects, and physical activities. On nice days, she also takes the kids to nearby parks, which our child loved. She provides healthy snacks and homemade lunches, often with salmon, shrimp, fresh fruits, and vegetables on the menu. We also especially appreciated the frequent photo updates she shared through the app. Teacher TingTing's daycare is not your stereotypical "Chinese daycare" with disengaged caretakers simply supervising children. She is very interactive and clearly incorporates early childhood education principles into her teaching and daily routines. We always felt very comfortable leaving our child in her care.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found TingLin Preschool in Millbrae. As parents who speak…read moreprimarily English with conversational Mandarin, we were seeking an environment that not only fostered early childhood development but also provided a strong foundation in Mandarin for our daughter. We first enrolled her at 2 years old, and have been there for over a year now. I was initially hesitant as a first-time mom, as I had never left my daughter's side up until this point. TingLin took the time to understand our specific concerns and needs, creating a tailored plan to ensure our daughter's comfort and success. Her empathetic approach made the transition not only manageable but a positive experience for our family. During this process, TingLin's communication was transparent, and her willingness to listen and collaborate eased any anxieties we had. Our daughter also started potty training about half a year ago, and TingLin was so open, knowledgeable and understanding about the entire process which we appreciate so much. It's heartwarming to see our daughter come home singing Mandarin songs and expressing herself in both English and Mandarin. TingLin would post pictures and videos on Brightwheel daily, so we know what she is up to. I often see her playing at the local park, collecting fall leaves and acorns, and working on art projects. They even grew their own butterflies! They recently carved pumpkins and used the pumpkin as a vase for beautiful flower arrangements. My daughter has become close with all her friends there, and it's really nice to see everyone growing up together. I'm also really impressed with TingLin's cooking! Every day, our little one enjoys a well-balanced meal that includes a variety of proteins (fish, chicken, beef, lamb, shrimp), healthy carbs (rice/noodles), and a colorful assortment of vegetables. Throughout the year, we've had the pleasure of participating in vibrant holiday celebrations, including Chinese Lunar New Year, Moon Festival, and Duanwu Jie. Our daughter has made xiao long bao, dumplings, zongzi, and baozi--all from scratch! We recently had a Thanksgiving feast prepared by TingLin with all the families and children, and we feel so grateful to be able to be a part of this wonderful community. My daughter has so much fun at TingLin Preschool that she never wants to leave when we go and pick her up. We're really thankful to have found TingLin and appreciate the dedication and commitment she brings to her students and community.

It's been a joy to witness. What sets Happy Kids apart goes beyond the thoughtful touches, like fresh, healthy meals and enriching music classes. The days are packed with a wonderful range of activities, and the variety of toys -- both indoors and out -- means there's always something new to explore and discover. We also love receiving photos throughout the day, so we never feel out of the loop and get to share in all those little moments we'd otherwise miss. It's the warmth you feel the moment you walk in, too. Our daughter genuinely loves going, and that tells us everything. As a working parent, the peace of mind has been invaluable. Knowing she's in a safe, loving environment where she's cared for and having fun makes the workday so much easier.
