Both of our daughters have attended Libao Daycare, and we couldn't be happier with the care they have received. The children are well cared for, well fed, and thriving. Most importantly, they are always excited to go to daycare in the morning and come home happy at the end of the day, which gives us great peace of mind as parents. The daycare provides a warm and nurturing environment with plenty of enriching activities. Our girls often bring home adorable arts and crafts projects, and they have learned so many songs and poems that they proudly share with us at home. It's wonderful to see how much they are learning and growing every day. We are especially grateful to Grandma (Lao Lao) and all the teachers for their love, patience, and dedication. They treat the children like family and create a safe, caring environment where they can learn, play, and flourish. Thank you, laolao and all the teachers, for everything you do. We truly appreciate your hard work and kindness, and we wholeheartedly recommend Libao Daycare to any family looking for exceptional childcare. read more

Libao - kids - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Fremont, California

My child has been attending Libao for well over a year now, and we can't rave about her care here enough. They have genuinely guided her through her growth and development better than we could have ever imagined and she is thriving. She looks forward to going every day. Some days we ask her if she wants to stay home and hang out and she flat out rejects us because she rather go to day care. She loves the home cooked nutritious food LaoLao(grandma in Chinese) makes fresh everyday, so much so, she was asking for it in the middle of our vacation. She also loves all the caretakers there. She has been begging for a birthday party and she made sure her guestlist includes them. She gets a boo-boo at home, and the first thing she does is tell LaoLao about it the next day. It just shows how much she enjoys the time and care she receives there. Especially the nurture LaoLao gives to her and her little friends there. We can list hundreds of other reasons why we trust the Libao team and will always recommend them to our family and friends. read more

It has been a year (The incident occurred in May 2025, when my daughter was only 16 month old), but I figure I still need to write a review to warn other families. This is what I wrote to my friends to keep a record right after it happened. "Today is the day we officially cut ties with my daughter's daycare Libao. After I dropped her off, as usual, it was the daycare owner's mother who took her in. Just like before, my daughter immediately started crying when she saw her. She's been at this daycare for six months, and this elderly woman is the only person who makes her cry every single time. Instinctively, I didn't leave right away. I stayed for a bit to watch. And then I saw something that made me so angry I was shaking for minutes. First, the old woman put my daughter down and shouted at her several times very harshly, "Don't cry!" Then she left through the back door, leaving my daughter alone in a dark room, crying uncontrollably for at least five minutes--I held myself back from intervening because I wanted to see just how cruel this woman could be. Later, my daughter realized no one was coming to help her. She looked around and spotted me outside the window. Then she started crying and walking toward me. At that moment, another teacher started bringing the other kids in, so I quickly knocked on the door and yelled at the elderly woman: "You've been in the childcare industry for so many years--how can you yell at a one-year-old like that? And how could you leave her completely unattended in a room for at least five minutes?" She actually lied to my face and said, "I was in the corner the whole time. I didn't leave." I called over her daughter, Yukiko, the daycare's legal owner, and I was still speaking very firmly. She tried to calm me down by reminding me how attentive and caring they've been with Yana normally. I replied bluntly, "Have you heard the cockroach theory? If you see one cockroach, it probably means there are already hundreds hiding. I believe what I happened to witness today is not an isolated incident. I believe this is how she's been treated regularly when I'm not around." I took my daughter home and never would go back. This occurred a whole year ago, but this morning it still haunts me so much I need to write it down. read more

Parents are always worried about our children and who to entrust such an important service. We chose Libao after an exhaustive search of many providers in the area and are very happy with the service, renewing it with our second child. One of the things I most appreciate about LiBao is the attention to food quality - while many childcare providers cut corners and try to offer the cheapest options that keep the children fed, Yukiko takes tremendous pride in cooking delicious homemade meals for the children under her care, and also takes the time to share photos of each meal in our daily updates of the class to keep parents informed of what their children are up to throughout the day and what they're eating. We are very careful about what we feed our children and appreciate a provider who takes equal care about the quality of input when we are not able to feed our children ourselves. I understand that the food is so good that some of the other parents/clients whose children are accustomed to LiBao food during the week that they have a difficult time eating the fast-food that their parents feed their children on the weekends (though we don't have this problem!) So if you are the type of overworked parents who try to cut corners yourself and feed your kids McDonald's on weekends, LiBao may "spoil" your kids to the point where they get fussy about the subpar meals they're fed when they are not enjoying Yukiko's excellent cooking - but that's a problem you'll need to sort out yourself. read more

We took our one year old daughter here for a while, and noticed she adjusted to the environment well after a few days. We don't speak any Chinese or Japanese at home, so we appreciated the language and food diversity that Libao offers to our daughter at an early age. The weekly/daily communication and class picture messaging through WeChat brought join to us during our busy working schedule. Both the environment and care level seem to align well with the advertised age group. Overall, we would recommend Libao for any busy working parents, who's looking for a multilingual, safe, fun, and learning environment for their child at an early age. Good luck on your search, and I hope you find a suitable place for you child! read more

Libao and all their staff has been the kindest to my child and our family. We needed childcare on short notice due to family illness - at the time of this review we've been with them for almost 2 years. I'm a former educator and at my first tour I could see that the space design is intuitive and set-up for safety, ease of play and learning for the children, and a good mix of indoor-outdoor time. Libao offers wonderful holiday / birthday celebrations, sweet photos and videos so you get a peek into their day-to-day, and as prior reviewers have raved about - really lovely home-cooked meals. As a result, my more sensitive than usual child has felt "at-home" at Libao, trusts her teachers, has learned to build friendships with different aged children, and has carried over some nice skills to home (e.g., ownership/pride with tidying, reading books, singing/dancing, crafting, balanced eating habits). We've been in a different bilingual home daycare for my older child (for comparison) and Libao has truly exceeded our expectations. They care for the children as their own and in my opinion, see each child as an individual too and help to support their growth that way. We're really grateful Libao is in our community and have enjoyed witnessing also the sweet community of kids and how the teachers intentionally support the children in caring for one another. I would recommend them to friends and family without hesitation. read more

Yukiko-Sensei and her staff are currently the caretakers for our 11 month old, he has been going to Libao for the past 4 months and we are super happy to have found a childcare place that has Japanese and Chinese languages and has a limited amount of students. This is in a private, licensed residence but the children have indoor and outdoor time with most of the downstairs dedicated to childcare. Note the current yelp address is the old location, I tried updating to the new one but if the update does not go through daycare is in the Central District of Fremont now east of Lake Elizabeth/Central Park. Yukiko is fluent in Chinese, Japanese, and English. Currently, we have noticed a lot more Chinese students and more skew toward Chinese which is totally fine for us. They take care of all meals and we get pictures often, the food looks delicious and I'm always hungry looking at the pictures. They are great cooks and we look forward to getting the "lions head" meatball on special occasions. Since the last review was so long ago they have very strict covid practices: children have their temp. checked everyday and are sanitized when they arrive. No adults besides caretakers are allowed inside, if a child is sick they must stay home. I left this as a tip but if you get wechat its very easy to get updates, pictures, and you can add whatever family members you want to the group-chat. They've done a great job with our youngest and we love bringing our kid here! read more

Libao - inside play and dining area - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Fremont, California

See all

Libao is the best decision we could have made for our daughter. I admitted her right after covid when she was almost 2 years old. She is very sensitive and not great with changes so I was really concerned of her adapting to the new environment. Yukiko was always there with my daughter during this transition period and made her feel at home. They also prepare fresh homemade organic food for kids everyday for lunch and dinner and my daughter loved it. They not only take very good care of kids they also have family gatherings during several occasions and give gifts/food to the family and kids which I have not heard is done anywhere else. Please do yourself and your kid a favor and enroll today. read more

Our daughter has been enrolled in Li Bao since 4 months old (as of writing she is now 16 months) and we've been very happy with their daycare services. Yukiko and her team are very professional and experienced with children. Over this last year, my daughter has struggled with various challenges related to eating, sleeping, and allergies. The team always takes wonderful care of her and accommodates her specific needs like we would at home and keeps us informed if there are any issues. Yukiko has a background in children's' nutrition so the meals that are served (lunch and dinner) are very nutritious and delicious. I'm often amazed at the food the children get to eat and wish my meals could be as tasty. I also really appreciate the level of effort they put in hosting events and fun activities for the children. Our daughter has enjoyed fun filled days celebrating themed American and Chinese holiday events and she always comes home smiling and excitedly babbling about what I believe is her sharing what happened during the day (she doesn't yet say words). Regarding health and safety, the daycare is quite strict on ensuring sick kids stay home. Since joining the daycare, besides for the sickness that occurs when children first start daycare (because the child's immune system is developing), my daughter has rarely, if ever, brought home a sickness. Compared to other parents I've spoken to about their daycares, I've come to understand that our situation is not common and is a testament to the cleanliness of the home and adherence to the rules. Lastly, if I use my daughter's emotional state as a gauge of the quality of the daycare, I can comfortable rank this place 5 stars. Our daughter lights up and smiles whenever she sees Yukiko and the rest of the team and clearly is very comfortable and happy with everyone there and the way she is cared for. When we eventually have our second child, we plan to enroll them then in Li Bao as well. read more

I visited many daycares, and Libao is the best of them. Clean environment, nice teacher, fresh food, cute little yard with many outdoor toys... I'm so glad my friend referred me Libao, my daughter has been going since she was 10 months, and she is 21 months now. She is having fun at Libao everyday, and I believe she is in good hands. If you are thinking about Libao, I would suggest put your child on wait list, somethings the wait list can be really long. read more

Great large in home daycare. We sent the kid there mainly because the provider speaks Japanese, but also because they provided healthy home cooked meals for the kids and they specialized in infant care. They speak mainly Chinese, so my kid learned Chinese naturally. If you don't speak Chinese or Japanese, it would be difficult to communicate with the providers. Every day they clean and steam the floors. They maintain a very safe and clean place for the children. I highly recommend Libao. Even during Thanksgiving they prepared meals for the families - soy sauce turkey and other yummy fixins. It was delicious. We only left because we moved to another city, but otherwise we were very happy with Libao! read more

Its a very clean and cozy daycare. Number of kids is not that much and they take good care of them. The only problem is communication. They speak in mandarin and does not understand english. So It was super difficult to communicate with them. read more

Our daughter enjoyed this place so much. We have been here for over a year and we will stay here till she graduates. It opens longer hours from 8-6pm. Teachers are caring and thoughtful. Tri-lingual(English,Chinese,Japanese). Homemade food(lunch and dinner) makes parents' life much easier. Our kids made significant progress in language and social skills. read more

We love coming to this daycare, my son has developed so much and is very happy every day. He can sing songs, count and has become a lot more talkative since coming here for almost 2 years now. Some days, he does not want to leave because he is having so much fun running around in the backyard and playing with his friends. :) Yukiko and Lau Lau care very much and treat your kid like their own - organic, home cooked meals and sending photo updates of their activities. We are truly lucky to have found Libao! read more

Having Libao for our baby has been a fantastic experience for us. The place is tidy and there are a bunch of toys and books for infants and toddlers. The food is all home made. Delicious and organic. What's more, the owner is a wonderful communicator and fully experienced with early education. Under her lead, our kids are provided with rich activities including drawing, playing music, dancing, counting, reading etc. What the greatest part is they teach good manners!! They really care about our babies' mental development. My baby always ends up the day very happy. Also, we are always quickly informed if our baby is ever sick or has any issues like misbehavior, not eating , diaper rash and so on. They are very reliable and provide updates with pictures and development everyday. For first-time parents like us, Libao also offers range of suggestions to take care of our toddler. The owner and other core members become more like our family rather than just a business owner. We have very strong faith at Libao and strongly recommend for parents who are seeking a safe place with exciting and fully educational activities for their babies or little toddlers! read more

I sent my daughter to Libao when she was 7 months. She was very sensitive, but the owner and teacher Cao really cared with love and patient, so she is so happy at daycare everyday and wouldn't want to go home by the end of the day. They really love the babies, and that is what is most important to me. I can go to do my stuff without worry when I send my baby to Libao. And the food, is so good. The owner send us pictures of lunch everyday, and I always feel hungry when I look at their food. And so I dont need to worry about the nutrition of my baby. And they provide Chinese cuisine and sometimes Japanese cuisine . As for the style and the language they use, it is mainly Chinese and some Japanese. They teach manner, and crafts, so babies got to develop their sensations and also Chinese and Japanese. I really like this part. And because of the environment is so good, all the kids there are all very nice, sometimes they fight for toys but as I see most of the time, they can share toys. Love this place. read more

Yukiko, the owner is very unreliable. Not professional at all. From start, we made an appt for the tour, she said she would send me a confirmation text but never received any. I tried calling her on the day off to no response. I showed up for the tour and she was in shower for 45 minutes and her cute little son and mom showed me the place. I was sold by her cute mom who doesn't speak English and we decided to admit our kid to her school. I sent her the token amount of the deposit due and kept communication regarding my kid being sick, remaining deposit money, and start date but Yukiko decided to give the spot to someone else without giving a heads up or any kind of communication because she was getting paid the full price she asked for. How ridiculous is that she charges $800-$1000 more a month than almost any home daycares in the area and this is the service she provides. I would never trust sending my kid to a person who is all about money, no communication, and respect for others time. Also, she did this after I asked her for a couple of references which she didn't even acknowledge ****watch out**** read more

My baby loves spending time in the daycare even tho she cannot speak yet, you can definitely tell from the smiling face. They provide healthy home cooked meals every day and keep parents updated. They are very professional and responsive. I like that the kids are all grouped in the similar age unlike some other family daycare places having a very wide range. The house is big. And the play area is also big, clean and safe. My baby is also learning a lot of stuff here. I highly recommended this place. read more

My kid has been going to Libao since he was 6m old. Teachers are caring and patient, which I think it's the main reason of how quickly my son adapts to the new routine. Parents receive daily photos of the home cook meals they provide (look very healthy and yummy btw) and will get notified right away if the kid is not feeling well. I also appreciate the efforts they put into the theme parties through the year and kids love them! I can tell my son enjoys going to Libao as he's always happy when I drop him off :) read more

Love this place and love the owners. We sent our little girl there when she was 16 months old. She is super shy and never never let others to hold her. We were so surprised that she was all settled in a week. They speak both chinese and Japanese so my girl can learn more language. The teacher-kid ratio is good. Their lunch are so good. Fresh and home made every day. Teacher sends us picture of the lunch so we know what they had everyday. Also, Teacher gives little description about the kid on a note book. it is fun to read that. If you are looking for a daycare, we are highly recommended this place. It is like HOME. read more

Our daughter was here for 1.5 yrs and recently graduated to preschool. We really appreciate the teachers here and our daughter still says "I miss them" every day! The teachers are very very caring, and have really good education philosophy. She learned a lot of fun songs and taught us to sing those songs at home too (and some of those are Japanese! fun!). She also met a lot of great friends here and we still hang out often. Oh also really tasty meals here too! read more

Our son had attended Libao for one and a half years. He loved it here and liked LaoLao. The teachers here are very patient and nice. They also provide delicious food. I'm glad I brought him here. read more

I went to see the day care and there was a box full of empty bud light cans right in front of the door. I just turned back and left.

My kid used to be a picky eater. Thanks to Libao daycare, now he enjoys every meal. They not only offer healthy food but also get my kid into good eating habit. Additionally,they hold various parties which my kid love the most. The teacher report daily about how kid did during the day. We are happy that we found this daycare. read more

We had couple tours before pick Libao, this is the most clean family care. My baby also like the family care very much. The food is also very delicious, kids love it. read more

This daycare is incredible. All of the staff members are incredible warm, caring, and kind. The place is very clean and well-stocked with a variety of toys and activities that the kids use throughout the day. Every day, my son had a new "worksheet" to show us. He learned a great deal from his teachers. Their lunch are perfect, delicious, fresh and home made everyday. They sent parents pics of lunch like everyday, so I could know what they had and never worry about it. Excellent experience- thank you all so very much. If I had any more young children, I would enroll them all. read more

Best daycare EVER! I sent my son when he was only 14 month old. At that time, he can only spoke some simple words. within two months after joining Libao, his language skill got greatly improved, which was amazing! He really enjoyed being there, just like the second sweet home. The teachers there are super nice. Treated them as my family. The food there are so yummy and fresh. In overall, in libao, my son eats well, sleeps well(up to 3 hours!), and plays well. : ) HIGHLY recommend! read more

I can say it is the best day care. Teachers treat kids as their own kids. I have two daughters , one has been here when she was 2 years, another has been here when she was 6 months. My two girls love teachers and food here. Even better than I cooked at home. :-) Highly recommend. :-) read more

I feel I have so much to say about this place. My son has been going to this place for one year already. I could not be happier. The owner was from Japan so this daycare is kind of Japanese style, which I really like it. The environment is very clean, neat and safe. The teachers are super nice, attentive and treat children like their own. They communicate very well with parents by writing a daily journal about your child, including what time the child eats, sleeps and poos. I personally very like this way and enjoy reading it. The food they provide is so yummy, better than what I cook. My son really likes their food. The teacher send parents the picture of lunch daily, so we know what the children eat, which is really nice! The ratio between teachers and children is very reasonable. Each day, my son is happy to go there which makes me peaceful when I go to work. This daycare accepts younger children (0-3 years), so there is no big age gap between the children, which is great, as the children can easily socialize together. I feel lucky to find this place. I did explore a few places before this one. When I visited this place, I knew I finally found the second home for my son! This is the best one I can find in this area. read more
