My daughter is on the autism spectrum, and we were turned away by several other daycares before finding Kids Corner Learning Center. I will always be grateful to Pujan and her incredible team for welcoming us with open arms. Since starting here, my daughter has made so much progress and shown incredible growth. It means the world to see how patient, understanding, and compassionate everyone has been with her unique needs. Their dedication and genuine care have made such a positive difference in our lives. I can't say enough wonderful things about Kids Corner Learning Center. It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere with truly caring teachers. I highly recommend it to any family looking for a supportive and nurturing environment for their child.

As a mother of a 2 year old girl it can be a bit nerve wracking to leave her in a daycare.

She is always so excited and eager to go to "school!" Grateful for every single teacher that participates and the children are always happy and cheerful at pick up and drop offs!

Also, since lunch is provided, it's less stress the mornings for me! The staff treat you like family, and really get to know your child individually. The Director, Ms. Angela is wonderful and very prompt in her responses to any concerns. We love Pinole Montessori!

My daughter was born prematurely at 2 lbs. 8 oz. with her lung issues and we had to keep her at…read morehome in a very sheltered environment, and that too with just me(her mom) and grandma. By the time she was allowed to go to daycare she was 20 months old and exhibiting signs of anxiety. I visited perhaps 12 different daycares with my daughter at that age, and I called 20 daycares from Hercules to Oakland. HG learning academy was the single and only daycare I felt comfortable enough to leave my daughter with. Nyisha was kind enough to allow me to spend 2 half days at her daycare with my daughter (Eva) so that Eva could relax and see that it was a fun place without being worried that mommy wasn't there. I also was able to tell my daughter, "this is your teacher and you can go to her for anything." That worked splendidly. Plus They even have an emotional support dog. And that helped with the transition as well. Now she's 2 1/2 and has grown so much emotionally! HG Academy is a part of my daughter's family now. Nyisha team is not only the sigle most loving, caring and attentive daycare staff I know but also Extremely well trained in child development. They were able to keep on top of my daughter's motor skills, cognitive abilities, social skills and so much more. They track these things and work with their kids on these areas, as well as learning! My daughter knows all her numbers, all her colors, the alphabet, HG Academy has helped potty train her and she is now potty trained, and there's so much more that I don't even have time to write it all down. HG Academy organizes field trips to places like farms, the California Science Academy (parents come with), they have extended hours weekly, and on the weekend and they have the best enrichments I have ever seen. My daughter has music class on one day, jump bunch which is a physical education class on another day, and Spanish class on yet another day. And they are thinking of adding French! My daughter has also learned how to paint, has done proper projects, 2 days a week, she does schoolwork type of exercises to develop learning. This may be a home daycare, but in my opinion it tops Montessori any day and mind you my family has 2 good friends in the daycare business. HG Academy has curriculum for up to 6 years of age and I'll tell you if I move away before my baby is 6, I will miss them all so much! Finally, I would like to add that the establishment uses positive parenting which in my opinion most daycares say they do but do not use. The kids are also a diverse bunch and Nyisha prides herself on making surre every culture and every child is respected and their diversity celebrated! Nyisha gets 5 stars but she deserves 10. She is up at the crack of dawn and works 24/7 for these kids!

I decided to transfer her from a local preschool to Supreme Kids Academy a few months ago, and in just six months, I have noticed a significant difference in her learning, penmanship, and overall development. Before enrolling her here, I did a lot of research trying to find a great school for my little one. I can truly say she is receiving the best care and education in the Bay Area! Their staff and teachers are unmatched. As a mom who works in education, I can confidently say their curriculum and materials are advanced. There are a lot of local centers and schools that do not have the right resources, structure, or teachers to successfully run a great preschool. Every staff member is so sweet, caring, and attentive to my daughter. You can tell they have a prestigious hiring process because every single staff member carries the values of the school. Not only is my daughter receiving the best care and education here, but she is also receiving the highest level of safety. As a working mom, safety is extremely important to me. They have an app where they send updates throughout my daughter's day. I am in constant communication with them and receive alerts throughout the day, which is such a relief as a parent. With everything going on in schools today, it is comforting knowing your child is safe and receiving the best care when they are not with you. Our children are the future, and investing in their care and education at a young age is so important. We love SKA! Thank you to the entire staff and administration for creating such a loving, safe, and enriching environment for our children. We are beyond grateful to be part of the SKA family and truly appreciate the care, dedication, and hard work that goes into making this school so special.

They provide breakfast, lunch and wholesome snacks included in the cost of tuition which was a huge help. They helped potty train both my boys in just a short few days and really work with families in developing a plan that works with each child. The cost of tuition is more than reasonable for the services provided. They offer additional enrichment opportunities through music, dance, karate, and gymnastics courses. I loved that my children had the opportunity to be exposed to these different programs during the course of the day as it wasn't always possible during after school hours with a full time job and other children. They offer special field trip days held at school which my children always looked forward to and still talk about (puppet shows, petting zoos, visits from dentist offices etc). Ms. Tia and Ms. Coco welcome the kids every morning and ensure a smooth drop off. It was a huge relief knowing my children were in the hands of such loving staff. My kids literally ran to them! Not to mention Ms Tia is a professional photographer so you will never have a better school picture! They communicate any concerns in a timely manner and I loved being able to check the app for picture updates throughout the day. I always felt any questions or concerns I had were also important to them and addressed promptly. I watched my children's confidence grow as they mastered a preschool curriculum. They learned how to make friendships and how to handle conflicts with the support of their teachers. I really can't say enough good things about SKA. The owners, administrators and teachers will always have a special place in our hearts. They provided me with the "village" that I didn't have and I am forever grateful.

I am providing a review for Hope because I noticed there are not updated reviews on here. We chose…read moreHope principally because of its location near our house and affordability; we ended up loving it for their good communication, community feel, openness, lovely outdoor space, kind teachers, and events. We have two children there - one has attended the program from 2 years of age to graduation, and the other from 8 months to current age of 3.5. Both of our kids really enjoy it there, have made good friends, and we feel they are becoming prepared academically for TK/kinder (knowing all letters/numbers up to 10 before entering TK). We really like that the school is integrated with the church, not because we are religious, but because it provides a greater sense of community. They do really cute Halloween, Christmas and graduation events in the church space. The school is very racially and socioeconomically diverse which we appreciate. The programming is pretty standard (by that I mean, don't expect the same child-centered, organic food only, education you might get by paying more elsewhere) but it has been a positive experience for both our kids.

The classrooms are well-equipped with age-appropriate Montessori activities, keeping her engaged and offering practice in various subjects like English, Math, Chinese, Science, and Art. She loves her teachers and often talks about them at home. I can see they are doing an excellent job teaching her not just academics, but also good behavior and independence. The teachers organize a variety of well-planned activities and events throughout the year for both US and Chinese holidays. Our family enjoys participating in these events, and we appreciate the many photos and videos shared with parents afterward to capture the memories. Another great feature of Little Tree is the optional lunch program. For $6 a day, they provide a tasty, nutritious, and balanced meal, which is one less thing for me to worry about.

Stay away from little tree unless you want to get kicked out with only a weeks notice. Our…read moreexperience with Little Tree was extremely disappointing. Our 21-month-old daughter attended the program for only about 10 days in the toddler program that is intended for 18 months and older. She was also absent for an entire week due to a fever,so basically 5 days on, 5 days off, then 5 days on. She had very limited time to adjust to a brand-new environment, teachers, routines, and expectations. The behaviors described to us were that she is very active and curious, sometimes puts objects in her mouth, and may quickly move away from the group. The school itself acknowledged in writing that these behaviors can be common at her age. What was most concerning to us was how quickly this determination was made. At only 21 months old and after approximately 10 days of actual attendance, we did not feel she was given an adequate opportunity to adjust to the classroom environment. We also would have appreciated more collaboration with us regarding strategies that could have been tried before the decision was made to end her enrollment. Everyday after pick up we got nothing but good feedback from teachers. Then one day a email saying her last day is in a week. Again stay clear away from little tree if you have a baby who loves to explore their environment and have fun. This center should have never been approved for a 18 month toddler program. Evidently they are not equipped to handle young toddlers.

She was understandably a bit nervous at first, but Ms. Monica and Ms. Lenny made her feel safe and welcomed, and pretty soon she was looking forward every day to playing with all her new "best friends." My daughter just started TK this fall and the preparation she received at Tiny Sheep is evident - from knowing all her letters, shapes, numbers, etc. to being independent and waving goodbye at the door of her classroom without any tears. She had a great experience here and we are grateful for the care and attention that Monica and Lenny showed her from day one.

Tiny Sheep Daycare/Preschool is an absolute gem in El Sobrante!…read more We came to Monica after being referred to her by a friend. Our kids were 5 and 3 at the time, and had been 100% cared for by Grandma (my mom) their entire lives while my husband and I both worked full time outside of the home. However, in early 2018, My mom got very sick, and we had to find a place to take the kids. Needless to say we were all very nervous and apprehensive about leaving our kids somewhere new. We met with Monica and got a tour of her very lovely, very clean, very welcoming home. We immediately felt the love and care that Monica has for all of "her kids". My 3 year old daughter didn't want to go home, she was so excited to stay and play even after the first time at Monica's! As a mother to three kids of her own, Monica knows what it is like to be a working parent and really strives to make all of her kids feel at home. Her house is immaculate, and every measure is taken to keep the kids healthy and clean, as well as nurtured and educated. The preschool curriculum she teaches the older kids is perfect for Kindergarten readiness. She also has really fun outdoor spaces for the kids to play - her own backyard is full of play structures, plus there is a neighborhood park and open space directly across the street from her home. We stayed with Monica until the COVID pandemic hit in March 2020. We were fortunate that my job allowed me to work from home and keep my kids at home, but if that had not been the case, I would have had no hesitation sending our kids to Monica's. I fully trust that she is taking every measure possible to keep the kids healthy and safe during these unprecedented times. Monica and Lenny became an extension of our family. We are SO glad we found Tiny Sheep. If you are considering looking for a place to send your precious children, you have found the right place.
