We've been going to Little Stars since our 3 year old daughter was 6 months old and started our…read moresecond there at 5 months old. Jessica and her team now feel like family. When I was looking for a daycare before my first was born I had no idea where to even start and was terrified of leaving my daugther with strangers. Little Stars was by far the cleanest and most organized of all the daycares we toured. Jessica communicates wonderfully and lets us know if there are any issues. The staff are so warm and loving and know exactly what each child needs each day. Watching my three year old grow there has been a delight. I love that the program is bilingual and she has become very proficient at Spanish. The play based curriculum with lots of singing and dancing has made learning fun and taught her more than I could imagine for a three year old. If you're looking for a daycare you can trust and feel comfortable leaving your kid everyday this is your spot.

Little Stars is a truly amazing daycare. Both our kids attended over the last few years and they…read moreeach had such a great experience there before heading off to preschool. Jessica and her team are so loving and kind with the kids and provide great communication with the parents. Jessica runs the daycare so professionally and yet it still feels like dropping your kid off at a loving family member's house. It's not easy to find a place you can fully trust with your child, but they take such incredible care of the kids that we've never had any concerns with their care. I can't recommend this daycare highly enough!

We sent our two year old to Let's Play for about 8 months and it was an extremely positive…read moreexperience. Ms. Bella and her staff are very attentive to the children's social and emotional needs. Bella puts a lot of effort and imagination into creating daily activities for children to take part in. It was easy to see from pick ups and drop offs how happy the children were to be there and how a ease other parents were in leaving their kids for the day. Another plus of Let's Play is how affordable it is, especially because Ms. Bella provides diapers for the children and prepares them lunch. You could pay more at other daycares, but I don't know that your return, at least for a 2 year old, would be comparable. The only reason we stopped sending our daughter to Let's Play is because we had the unique opportunity to send her to a language immersion program elsewhere. To reiterate, we really really liked Let's Play and we highly recommend it to folks with a young child.

We absolutely love Little Angels Daycare! My daughter started here when she was just 8 months old,…read moreand it has been everything I hoped for and more. It's an in-home daycare that feels so warm and inviting. They have small student-to-teacher ratio. They cook delicious, healthy homemade meals every day, and I love that I don't have to worry about what she's eating or having to pack a lunch box. The program is Montessori-like mixed-age setup, which has been wonderful for her development. When she was little, she learned so much from the older kids; now that she's older, she gets to be the leader and helper. They hire external teachers that do a great job incorporating preschool-style learning, and her vocabulary has grown so much that we barely needed to teach her at home! It's also like a Spanish bilingual school. She's picked up quite a few Spanish words just from being immersed in the environment, which has been such an amazing bonus. The hours are long and flexible, and the school holiday schedule is reasonable, good for working parents. We feel so lucky to have found Little Angels. It's a nurturing, enriching environment that has given our daughter such a great start. Highly recommend!

It's been a couple of years since I first reviewed Little Angels, and now that both of my kids have…read moreofficially graduated to preschool, I wanted to share how grateful I am for the amazing care we've continued to receive. Both of my children attended Little Angels from the time they were infants, and it's truly been the most nurturing, loving, and supportive environment we could have hoped for. The teachers are incredible--they know every child so well and treat them with such warmth and patience. One of the things I've always appreciated is how intentional they are with the activities and curriculum. From art and music to yoga and early learning, my kids have grown so much academically and socially. I also loved that the infants have their own dedicated play area--it gave me such peace of mind when my kids were tiny. As they got older, they were always excited to go to daycare, running in with huge smiles every morning and knowing every teacher by name. We've made so many wonderful memories and lasting friendships through Little Angels. It's such a special place, and I can't recommend it highly enough to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and enriching home-away-from-home for their children.

We have been absolutely thrilled with the quality care from Little Hand Child Care! We feel a lot…read moreof gratitude for how the owner and her staff take the time to get to know each child, and really make them feel at ease. Our son started there when he was 15 months, and is now coming up on 2.5 years; I wouldn't think about sending him anyplace else. One of the things that we love about it, is that they not only combine educational programs into the week that they host, but they also bring in 3rd party instructors for enrichment like music and yoga. It's really amazing! We read with our little boy all the time, but when he came home knowing how to count to 10 before he had turned two, the credit was clearly due to Jordanna and her team at Little Hand. As a first time parent, I wasn't sure what to look for or to ask about when looking at daycare. Where I landed was choosing people that I felt I could trust. I trust Little Hand completely, and that has just grown over time. Other things: There is an active chat group for parents, so we can have our little ones play more outside of daycare. There are parties for birthdays and holidays! Home cooked meals, that are healthy and nutritious. And, there are so many smaller things- like the time there was construction on the street and my son got taken down to see the trucks, which made his week- that make this is a special place. We also often get photos of our little guy throughout the week, in which we can see all the things and fun he is having. We are really happy that our son is there.

It's not just a regular daycare, they're really awesome with the kids…read more Jordanna is the sweetest person with my baby. She goes above and beyond to make sure she's happy and healthy. I have seen other daycares and Jordanna's is really different. She takes care of my baby with love, and I'm so grateful for her. The pricing is also very fair. We totally recommend.

Sunnyside Preschool is truly the best. My son started about six months ago, and from day one, Miss…read moreSylvie--along with the students and families--made us feel so welcome. The transition couldn't have been smoother, and now he walks (and often runs!) into school every morning excited and happy. The Sunnyside team is incredibly communicative and has done such a wonderful job nurturing his curiosity, skills, and creativity. I'm constantly amazed hearing about what he learned or experienced each day. He's now counting to 10 and has really developed a love for books and coloring, which has been so fun to watch. We also love the balance of outdoor play, classroom time, and shared meals with his classmates--it's been terrific for his development. We're already looking forward to having his younger sister join Sunnyside in the future. Sylvie does a great job keeping parents in the loop on what the kids are learning, singing, and working on as the seasons change. Our little guy absolutely loves Sunnyside--and so do we.

Highly recommend! My son attended Sylvie's for almost two years and I always felt super comfortable…read moredropping him off knowing he was in great hands. He was always smiling when we picked him up! Some of his favorite things were gardening/picking and eating fruits/veg, worm day, painting, and playing outside with his friends. Sylvie provides a safe and nurturing space for littles and a welcoming community for families. She is patient, kind, supportive, and communicative. You can tell she truly cares for the kiddos and the classroom environment. It's a wonderful space for little ones to learn and grow!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars - Little Stars has been a blessing to our family. The owner,…read moreSadaf, is truly a gift to this world and her staff, Marlene and Francis, are absolutely wonderful and a glowing extension of Sadaf's dear heart. She is the embodiment of kindness and compassion and respectful of all the children and families in her care. Our daughter started at Little Stars when she was 1.5 years old when we moved to Novato, and we are so grateful for her experience there. She was welcomed with open and loving arms and we were continually impressed by all that she learned at Little Stars and the stories of her fun days painting, drawing, visiting the playground, cooking and singing songs. Sadaf would even send pictures throughout the day- and I could see the joy on our daughter's face alongside her friends. It's not often you see a child reading before going to preschool, and not only was she learning to read, but also learning multiple languages, cooking, how to play compassionately and respectfully with other children and her social skills flourished. The children absolutely love Sadaf and her staff, as do we, the parents - I knew my child was always safe and cared for at Little Stars, which put my heart at ease. Sadaf goes above and beyond for the children and families at Little Star. When I was pregnant with my 2nd child (very sick and eventually on bed rest), Sadaf would sometimes make me and my family food to take home so I would feel better and didn't have to cook. She even made a cake for my daughter's 3rd birthday during that pregnancy as she wanted to help take any added stress off of my shoulders. I simply love and adore Sadaf. I truly cannot say enough about Sadaf and her wonderful daycare. Her love and compassion for the children is palpable and extends to the families as well. She is dedicated to the children learning and respecting others. I firmly believe her childcare was the best choice our family could have made and we are so very thankful for the support and care our daughter's received which immensely helped her growth and development. We highly recommend Little Stars and Sadaf and her staff.

Our son has been attending Hugs and Kisses Daycare since he was just 6 months old, and he's been…read morethere for almost a year now. We truly couldn't have asked for a better place for him to learn and grow. Soroor is an amazing caregiver. She is kind, understanding, patient, reliable, and genuinely loves every child she cares for. She creates a safe, nurturing environment where the kids feel happy and comfortable. Every day she plans fun, educational, and sensory activities that keep the children engaged, active, and learning through play. Lina is also wonderful and such a caring part of the team. Together, they make Hugs and Kisses Daycare feel like a second home for our son. As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, loved, and excited to go to daycare each day. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and love Soroor and Lina have shown our son over the past year. We highly recommend Hugs and Kisses Daycare to any family looking for a trustworthy, loving, and enriching childcare environment.

I highly recommend Hugs and Kisses Daycare. My son has been with Soroor for the last two years, and…read moreI could not imagine a better caregiver. Soroor has taught my son how to handle big feelings, potty trained him, and instilled values of kindness, respect, and how to play well with others. His language is above the average for his age (and for a boy) and this is in large part to Soroor's constant engagement with him. My son is a joyful, happy child, and I attribute so much of that to Soroor's care, love, and attention. She goes above and beyond, even checking in when he's home sick or on vacation. She genuinely cares about each child's well-being. Her assistant Brenda, and former assistant Fidelina (who left to have a baby), created a safe and loving environment. My son often asks about all three of them and when they can visit our home! Soroor is very diligent in hiring, doing trial runs before bringing anyone on board, and it shows--her assistants are fantastic and stay long-term; that consistency is very important to us. Soroor regularly provides guidance and advice on raising children. She is always learning--reading up on new methods, sharing books and resources, and helping us navigate developmental changes. She is so flexible and understanding if you're running late or need to drop off early. As two working parents, this has made our lives much easier. The outdoor play area is great, with plenty of room to climb and explore, and a garden to get their hands dirty; Soroor is also always making updates to the space. We're constantly amazed at the new things our child comes home having learned. The food (included in the fee, along with diapers!) she serves is incredibly healthy, and my son loves it. It's made him a much less picky eater at home. Hugs and Kisses Daycare is a truly special place where children thrive.
