He tells many fun stories once he gets back home, the teachers (Miss Deepika, Miss Vijaya, and Miss Bhawna) and the director, Miss Stephanie, are all very kind and caring. And they have so much creativity when planning all the educational activities and crafts! I'm amazed by all the things that the kids learn every week. Thank you all for enriching my son every single day. I have a very happy kid thanks to all of you.

She kept having us pick up our child claiming that she was sick based on 99F temperature measurement inside the ear! This happened 3 times in two weeks. She claimed that our child had the hand foot mouth disease even after we brought a note from our Dr. saying that she was perfectly fine. I spoke with couple of parents who also confessed that Manori has been unreasonable with her sick child policy, measuring the kids temperature without any reason and claiming they are sick when they are perfectly fine. There are better professional day cares in the ares. Stay away from this one.

Appleseed Montessori was the best decision for my child. I had him enrolled in Nov 2021 when he was…read more18 months old. He was under the care of Ms Maria, Ms Ericka and Ms Ana in Room 4A and he loved every moment of it! His teachers cared so much for him and I was able to see that he was actively learning through jobs, art, parallel play right from the start. His teachers even helped him eat when he was still adjusting to eating on his own - which was huge for me. He then moved into Room 2 in 2023 and while it took a while for him to get adjusted, I could actively work with his teachers on potty training, eating habits and general well being. Both Ms Diane and Mrs Sanghera are wonderful and caring teachers who handle transitions seamlessly and ensure the kids are having a good time! You can always ask the teachers for an update and they'll have something specific to say - that always made me feel like they have an eye on every kid. My child has made so many friends here and I'm ever grateful for that. The school is led by Ms Michaella, an excellent administrator. She manages the staff, interacts wonderfully well with the students, and actively engages with the parents. The school also organizes many events (halloween parade, annual day, PJs day..) which is fun for both kids and parents (if you like being part of the activities). They have partnered with Amazing Athletes so it's easy to get the kids interested in many sporting endeavors. The school also has lunch meals provided through a partner service but I did not opt for it - I liked sending lunch with my kid. On the whole, one of the best places to keep your child healthy and safe. True value for your money!

Want to recommend 500 Dunford Way. It is a well-run place with efficient teachers. My kid was very…read morehappy in room 9. They do tons of crafts and activities, celebrate all major festivals and teach the Montessori style. The teachers are patient with the kids and help them settle down well. We had a wonderful experience and formed a great parent-tot group. The teachers involve parents in every activity and ask for volunteers regularly. That forms a wonderful community which we have continued even after all the kids graduated from Appleseed!

This is my long over due review for Little Tree in Sunnyvale. I have nothing else but great things…read moreto say about the school! My daughter Anastasia joined the preschool in 2023 when she just turned 3, and graduated TK this past June. The staff at Little Tree has greatly transformed her from a little clean slate into a bright beautiful girl inside and out! When we first joined, Anastasia went through 10 months of potty training at home, and still couldn't do potty properly by herself. Within one month, the preschool teachers successfully trained her so she got rid of diapers forever! Born into a multi cultural family, Anastasia understood three languages, but couldn't speak anyone very well when she first joined. Within a few months, we saw her Chinese and English vocabulary expanded drastically and she was able to communicate in multiple languages and switch channels seamlessly, thanks to Little Tree's immersive bilingual program! Later on, in the TK program, she was able to write and read basic materials in both English and Chinese, and do addition, subtraction within 100 at age 4! The language skill is just a surface and I couldn't describe enough about the friendly and family like atmosphere that immersed my child. The child learned to make friends, treat each other with respect, how to resolve conflicts with maturity, all thanks to Ms Faye and other teachers' efforts! My child slowly transformed from a sensitive, fragile toddler girl into a 5 year old with great sense of maturity and responsibility. She went on to give the commencement speech representing her class at their graduation ceremony! Every month Little Tree has some ceremonies or festivals, being birthday parties, Chinese holidays, American holidays, graduation parties. There are different themes of decors, paintings decorating the hallway every month. The kids and parents both got to learn different culture, history around the world. They also provided art, dance, clay making classes to choose from, so the kids get exposed to and learned to appreciate different forms of art from a young age. Little Tree also practices the best judgment when it comes to the children's safety and wellbeing. They provide healthy lunch and snacks throughout the day, and good hygiene all around the school. They have the vision screening every year which helped to catch my child's vision issue early, so we were able to apply early treatment to prevent the issue developing into adulthood! We have Little Tree to thank for life! With all the preparation and support from Little Tree, my kid was able to pass the entrance exam with ease at Stratford school in Sunnyvale. As we are excited to enter a new chapter in life, we also have Little Tree in mind to thank for. If you are a multi cultural family, or any family who wish to benefit from a bilingual and multi cultural early education program, I highly recommend Little Tree, as the first stepping stone into a well educated and balanced life!

The classrooms are always clean and well-organized, and the parent volunteer program is something we especially appreciate, it gives us a real window into the classroom and keeps us closely connected with the teachers. A special shout-out to Mrs. Lin, who is truly exceptional at what she does. She's warm and kind with the children while also being firm in the best way, gently guiding them through the Montessori approach. You can tell she genuinely loves the kids and the work. If you have a 2-5 year old, this is such an enriching environment. We feel lucky to have found Villa Montessori and would recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, thoughtful preschool. Five stars!

Villa Montessori is the best thing that has happened to our family. This is my 4 year old's second…read moreyear at Villa and he started as an extremely shy and sweet kid with no previous day care or school experience. In the past year, he has blossomed into an independent and assertive child, and he has learned a lot both academically and socially. Villa has an amazing ratio of 1-8 (3 teachers per classroom of 24 kids) that sometimes falls to 1-6 or 1-7. They are a true Montessori school, and the child stays with the same teachers for all the years. My son's two main teachers, Mrs. Fan and Mrs. De Silva, have been with the school for over a decade. My son has received a lot of individualized attention and loves his teachers. I think he would like to live with Mrs. Fan if given the chance. :) The teachers at Villa are extremely good at what they do and very passionate about Montessori education. When I went in for "observation day," each child was doing a different "job," so the teachers were managing 24 different activities, but everything was still very orderly. Even the tiny 2.5 year olds knew the rules and everyone knew to clean up. We really appreciate how diligent our son has become with washing hands, tidying up spaces, and wiping surfaces! Director Lin's leadership is also really exceptional. She is extremely organized, responsible, and sets clear expectations for the kids and parents. I love that the handbook, documents, twice-a-year report cards, and paperwork are all in good order. She is also very hands-on and I have seen her consoling a crying child in her lap, spoon feeding another child during lunch, and taking the time to talk with the kids individually. I am so impressed that she takes the time to get to know every one of the forty-some kids at Villa. She works many many hours at Villa and commutes from an hour away. Villa is not just a job for her - this is her life's purpose. Everyone at the school is very responsive and excellent with communication. Karen (who manages most of the administrative tasks) and Director Lin will usually respond to messages on Brightwheel within a few hours. We really appreciate how they take parent concerns very seriously. The flexibility of programs at Villa is also great - they have AM program (9-12 pm), PM program (1-4 pm), PM plus extended care (1-5 pm), full day (9-4 pm), or full day plus extended care (9-5 pm). I feel very lucky to be able to enroll my child in a half day program so that he gets a few hours of school every day, and we still get enough hours to go on an adventure together outside of school. One really brilliant and unique thing about Villa is that their after-school program (school ends at 4, there is another hour of after school until 5 pm) teaches the children Mandarin Chinese! I enrolled my son in the after school hour just for the Chinese class - Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Liu are both excellent Chinese teachers from Taiwan. I sat in on one class to see what it would be like, and was astounded that all of the kids had excellent pronunciation. Chinese tones are very difficult so it was really surprising to see a room full of non-Chinese kids speaking perfect Chinese! Lastly, the other Villa families also makes this place special. Villa is a non-profit with a governing board that is made up of parents. We really appreciate the parents that have taken on this responsibility. We have also made many friends at Villa, and really appreciate the sense of community. We truly couldn't have asked for a better preschool experience and will definitely miss this school when our son graduates!

She genuinely looked forward to going to school every single day -- a true sign of how happy and comfortable she felt there. The school does a beautiful job blending academics with social studies and fun -- holiday events like Easter celebrations made learning exciting and joyful.

My oldest son, now 16, started when he was four and stayed through the Kindergarten program. We loved the school so much that when we had our youngest two, there was never a question about where they would go. They started in the Toddler program and continued through Primary before transitioning to public kindergarten. What makes Children's World so special is the people. The teachers provide so much more than a wonderful academic foundation. They guide children through practical life skills, independence, responsibility, social and emotional development, kindness, and respect, all while fostering a genuine love of learning. The bilingual Montessori environment is thoughtful, hands-on, and beautifully designed to help children grow in confidence and independence. Ms. Michelle is an incredible owner who has built a truly special community and intentionally surrounds herself with teachers who are both highly qualified and deeply caring. Ms. Pratima taught all three of my boys, and she will always hold a special place in our family's hearts. We will never forget the love, patience, and care she gave each of our children. If we could have kept Children's World and these wonderful teachers in our lives for longer, we absolutely would have. It's truly an exemplary program with amazing teachers! Thank you Ms. Michelle, Ms. Pratima, Ms. Erika, Ms. Kari, Ms. Theresa, Ms. Heather, Ms. Gloria and all the others who have worked in the classrooms! After three children and many years at Children's World, I can say without hesitation that choosing this school was one of the best decisions we made for our family. We will always be grateful for the love, care, and foundation they gave our children.

We sent our four children and they had positive experiences learning a variety of subjects and also how to do things with their hands from sewing to putting on shoes.

The children do have time to play and socialize, bringing a good balance of activities to their day. I suggest anyone interested in sending their child here to take a tour. As a bilingual school, kids who are either native English or Chinese speakers will be comfortable.
