Our daughter has been attending Elan Preschool for about three months now, and we've had such a…read morewonderful experience. The teachers and directors are truly fantastic and consistently go above and beyond for the kids and families. I'll admit, I went back and forth for a while about whether my child really needed to attend a childcare program. But once we found Elan, that uncertainty completely went away. I feel so good about what she's learning and the care and attention the staff provides every day. What really stands out is how intentional they are. The teachers lead from strong principles, handle situations thoughtfully, and create such a positive learning environment. There are always engaging activities happening that keep the kids curious and excited. They also keep me well updated. I get photos daily, updates when she eat and what she eats, things I was never expecting. Another big highlight is the outdoor playground -- it's massive, safe, and gives the kids plenty of room to run, explore, and just be kids. They have special events and activities that add tremendous value to the program. Things range from puppet shows to animal appearances and so much more. It's worth the spend. Holidays are also fun to see them celebrate, including a Christmas performance at the end of the year. I could honestly go on and on, but if you're looking for a preschool, I'd definitely recommend checking Elan out and seeing for yourself how great their program is.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Elan for our daughter. One of the most delightful things…read moreabout this daycare is how much fun they bring into the kids' lives. The variety of vendors and special activities that come through makes me wish I could be a kid there myself! From music classes to petting zoos and magicians, there always seems to be something exciting happening. The open layout is another thing we really appreciate. It creates a sense of one big family, with kids eating and playing together. My little one gets to observe and learn from the older children, which has been wonderful for her development and for building friendships across age groups. The teachers are fantastic. Each one has their own unique personality, giving the kids a variety of role models. They're attentive about guiding behavior in a positive way and are extremely responsive to parents. We also receive plenty of photos and updates throughout the day, which makes it easy to stay connected to what our child is experiencing. The facilities are clean, colorful, and very well organized. Classrooms and bathrooms are always tidy, and the playground is impressively large with several structures and play areas. The rubberized surface and particles under the climbing structures gives me peace of mind while my little "professional climber" explores. Overall, I'm very happy we found Elan. It's also located right next to the Milpitas Library, which we often stop by after pickup. From the outside, the building and surrounding area may seem unassuming, but once you step inside, it feels like a little world of its own.

Ms. Louise, Ms. Mary, Ms. Dionna, Ms. Gizelle, and Ms. Cynthia each played a meaningful role in shaping who she is today. Together, they helped her grow into a kind, loving, and curious little girl. We are constantly amazed by how much she learns, she comes home every single day with new knowledge, new words, and new ideas that surprise us. It's clear that each teacher pours their heart into what they do, and our daughter has thrived because of it. Beyond the classroom, the administrative team, Ms. Joy, Ms. Suzette, and Ms. Kathlynn, always greet families with warm, welcoming smiles that set the tone the moment you walk through the door. They have created an environment where both children and parents feel seen, valued, and at home. We are so thankful to this entire team for the incredible foundation they've given our daughter during some of her most important early years. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing, enriching place for their little one.

During her time here, my daughter grew so much. She became more independent, built confidence, and they even worked closely with us on potty training. My daughter was constantly learning new things, and I loved hearing her come home singing songs and sharing what she learned.

One of our favorite features is the app, which provides updates and photos of every activity the children are participating in. It gives us such peace of mind and helps us feel connected to his day. We also love that it's a bilingual school. Our son comes home proudly sharing new Spanish words he's learned, which has been such a fun and meaningful addition to his education. Most importantly, the teachers are incredibly warm and welcoming. They truly care about the children and maintain clear, consistent communication with families. We are so grateful to be part of this school community!

I put my kid in a Montessori for a week, they used to call every day complaining that my kid was crying or pulling the cabinets etc. I changed him to Happy hearts academy and never ever received a call (except when he is sick), they made sure my kid was happy and got adjusted to the environment. I can't thank Ms. Rupa and Ms. Rekha enough for their effort and passion towards the children. I should also mention that the price is also very reasonable for Bay Area.

They make sure kids are happy , well fed and safe. My son always looks forward to going to Happy Hearts! Kids here are very loving towards each other We are a household of 2 working parents and we never got a call/complaint from the teachers unless my son was sick. If there was any behavioral problem teachers took the responsibility to teach the kid the right thing. In the last 2 years of his stay I have seen amazing personal and academic development in him. He learnt his alphabets, numbers , spellings, science experiments etc over here. They are many places which focus on academics but teachers here taught him to enjoy learning and explore/experiment with new ideas. Thank you Ms Rupa and Ms Rekha for taking such good care of my son and teaching him important life skills. If you want your kid to be happy and also make good academic progress look no where else!

Hands On Learning has been such a blessing! My husband and I took our child on a tour with the…read moreprogram director, Ms. Elis. The process for scheduling, visiting, and later enrolling at the school was so user-friendly. Ms. Elis answered all of our questions in person and later over email in a timely manner. You could tell she really cares for the students and is in-tune with the staff/children. She made a special point to tell us to bring our child on the tour as we could see how they interacted with the space and how they felt around the other students/staff as we were touring while school was in session. All of the staff is very supportive and we get regular updates throughout the day via message and more info at pick up on how the day went. It is also very easy to communicate through their app regarding pick up changes, general questions, etc. In the Bumblebee class (ages 2-3), you could not ask for better teachers than Ms. Yolanda and Ms. Sarah. They've taken such great care of our baby. Hands On Learning was our first school/daycare experience. Prior to this, our baby was regularly with me as I work from home. While already very extrovert and talkative, we really wanted them to gain more social experience. Most of the children in our lives are all older, so they're not used to parallel play with others their age. They're also used to 1:1 attention from an adult, so we wanted to expose them to a larger group setting sooner than later to improve on any growing social or separation anxiety. Ms. Yolanda in particular has been working tirelessly 1:1 with our baby and really partnering with us to make the transition from no school to half day to now full time (!) 5x a week to be as seamless and pain-free as possible. She's been great about learning what we already do at home and providing additional recommendations for us to try that will help with adjusting to full time school. While we're still navigating BIG emotions at drop off, Ms. Yolanda is always ready with a hug and a smile for our baby. There's still some days of all tears, but those days are getting less and less. I keep hearing that our baby is making lots of improvement from both Ms. Yolanda and Ms. Sarah. The evidence is all over our baby's laughing, smiling face as we talk on the drive home and lasts all the way until bedtime. I can't thank everyone here enough for helping our baby thrive. It really has been an excellent experience for our whole family!

Our boy has blossomed so much under their care. Before Hands on Learning Center, our son was enrolled in Speech Therapy but within a month of attending this school, he had an incredible speech explosion and no longer required therapy. He loves all the teachers (Ms. Jessica, Ms. Denise, Ms. Mistry, Ms. Lad, and Ms, Elis) and classmates so much and speaks so fondly of everyone at home. We love this school so much and our only regret is that Hands on Learning Center is not a full on K-8 institution.

If you need extended care until 6:00 PM, there are also many enrichment activities available, giving children plenty of opportunities to explore new interests. We're grateful for the care and support our child has received here and would highly recommend Day Star Montessori to other families.
