We feel incredibly lucky to have found this daycare for our daughter. It truly offers the best of both worlds--the warmth and attention of a daycare with the structure and enrichment of a larger facility. Every day, our daughter is involved in activities that help her grow and learn. From creative art, food prep, science experiments and paper crafts to making custom keychains, the projects are fun and developmentally helpful. There are also so many programs and projects listed in the newsletter we receive regularly. They do a wonderful job helping her build strong fine motor skills, and Fridays are especially fun because of dance day, which she looks forward to each week. What really stands out is the staff. Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall are genuinely kind, sincere, and caring. The teachers are always going above and beyond for the kids, and we always feel comfortable knowing our daughter is in good hands. Ms. Hamina keeps me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciate. I was nervous about putting my daughter into daycare at first, but she has had such a positive experience. She adjusted quickly and actually loves daycare! All the other kids are so good to her and each other. We are very grateful for the care and enrichment they provide and would highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging environment for their child. read more

We are so glad we found Little Feet Preschool 3 months ago! From the start, we've been so impressed with the care, creativity, and warmth here. The teachers, Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall, clearly love what they do and genuinely care about the kids. Ms. Hamina has put together an incredible curriculum. In just a short time, our daughter has gotten to experience so many fun activities--visits from police officers, a fire truck, the East Bay SPCA, cooking classes, and a new learning theme each month. Last month, they even put on an art show featuring all of the kids' artwork, which was such a thoughtful touch and a proud moment for us. We also really appreciate the cozy, home-like environment--it feels safe, welcoming, and perfect for young kids. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves going every day, which says it all. We're so thankful to have found Little Feet Preschool and highly recommend it to other families! read more

We were looking at several preschools prior to enrolling our little one with Hamina and Kendall at littlefeet. Tbh it wasn't a difficult decision... so many of the other "pre-schools" were nothing more that glorified daycare. If you want your child to actually spend time doing a comprehensive range of developmental activities then this is the school for you. Hamina actually takes school fees and spends them on your kids!! Dance class... yep... let's bring a professional to do that on Mondays... cooking class... Wednesdays. Visit from the SPCA with kittens and puppies... yep, they do that! Bottom line, if you want you child to be in an environment where they are learning but disciplined, loved and nurtured then this is the school for you! Thank you so much Hamina and Kendall, Natalia loves you both!! read more

I normally don't write reviews but having had such a wonderful experience with Little Feet Preschool this past year, I wanted to let the community know that not only is the school great overall, but Ms. Hamina is a very thoughtful and engaging teacher. It's not just a childcare facility; it's an environment that prioritizes educational engagement, personal growth, and fun. Ms. Hamina and her team incorporate interactive and stimulating activities daily such as music, science experiments, dance, foreign language, etc. Teachers actively involve children in creative projects that enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Also, the school goes out of their way to allow parents involvement such as recitals, parent-teacher conferences, and daily updates during pick up. I highly recommend Little Feet Preschool/Daycare for parents seeking a program that is both a well-rounded experience and that caters to each individual child's diverse interests and learning style. My child has grown so much during her time at Little Feet and I know she's more ready for kindergarten because of Ms. Hamina and all she has done. I am truly grateful and cannot recommend Little Feet enough. read more

Highly recommend Little Feet Preschool for anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for their child! I enrolled my 3-yr-old daughter to Little Feet when we moved to Dublin, and couldn't be more pleased with the quality of care she has received. The teacher, Ms. Hamina, is a kind, welcoming person who takes special care to give individual attention to all the kids. When my daughter was diagnosed with speech delays, Ms. Hamina took initiative to learn more and incorporate speech development activities into my daughter's routine.  She is patient and understanding, and she has created a positive and supportive learning environment where my daughter feels comfortable and confident. Some specific things we were looking for in a daycare, and found to be stellar at Little Feet: Ms. Hamina is a fantastic communicator, and is always available to answer questions and concerns. She proactively shares her observations, especially around my child's well-being and progress. The material that is taught is engaging and age-appropriate, with lots of variety - my daughter comes home excited to share what she did at school. The children are well-behaved and respectful. The daycare is clean and well-organized, also bright, inviting and spacious. I am so grateful for the care that my daughter has received at Little Feet. I highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a looking for a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for their child! read more

One of the best Preschools you can find in the Dublin area. The caretakers here treat every child like their own and pay great attention to detail. My son has loved the school so much that there are times where he doesn't want the weekend to come! Even though it's a home preschool, the home is quite large and is more spacious than purpose built schools we've had our kids at in SF. They have a good mix of play and educational programs along with visits from science and music teachers. Pick up and drop off a straightforward and they pay great attention to cleanliness especially during COVID-19. They also send photos through the day that feel like DSLR professional shots. Really nicely done, I've added a few to this review. Between our two kids, we have now had them in over five different daycares and preschools in the Bay areas and I can say this is one of the best ones we've had. Highly recommended! read more

My daughter started attending Little Feet Preschool when she turned 2. She loves it so much there that she wants to go to school on weekends/breaks! She brings home all kinds of fun things she's worked on and enjoys talking about what she's done in the day. I have seen a lot growth in her since she started at the school. Ms. Amina and Ms. Stephanie do an amazing job! I love that there's a great balance between academics and play. The program is very engaging, I particularly love the science, music and yoga. The kids learn independence and social skills too. And there are also outdoor activities throughout the year. The classroom is nice, well-equipped and offers a lot of natural light. There's also a nice play area outside for the kids to enjoy. Parents receive photos and activity updates daily. Pick-up and drop-off are a breeze. Ms. Hamina is very kind and easy to communicate with. Not only is she passionate about her work, she makes health and safety a priority too. It is clear that she strives to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the little ones. She has created a wonderful space for the kids to grow, learn and have fun. I highly recommend Little Feet Preschool! read more

As a parent there is no greater trust than to leave your child in the hands of another person. I have that complete trust in Ms Hamina & Ms Stephanie of Little Feet Preschool. From our first virtual meet I knew that this preschool was the type of environment I wanted my child to be a part of. Not only does my daughter learn preschool fundamentals but she also learns about our community, to share and to empathize. She has grown and developed exponentially since starting at Little Feet - I could not be more pleased. Everyday she comes home with crafts and excitedly tells us about her day. She uses the skills taught to her by Ms Hamina and Ms Stephanie on how to control and focus (ie yellow/greed/red zones). While kindergarten is still a ways away I have no doubt she will be more than prepared for it when it comes. I highly recommend Little Feet Preschool to anyone who is looking for a nurturing, caring, learning environment for their little ones. read more

Highly recommended!!! A safe, fun, educational and engaging environment I trust for my children. My son and now my daughter go to school here and they love it. We been to several other locations and nothing tops little feet preschool. My kids come home with tons of cool art work, they socialize, they play, they learn and they are excited to talk the amazing day they had. As a parent I couldn't be more happy to have found Hamina and little feet preschool. read more

we are so grateful to have found little feet preschool. Miss Hamina and her team have been such a great influence on our 2 year old toddler that just after 3 months of being there, our girl now knows how to: talk in almost complete sentences, write out her letters, count to 20, socialize with others, understands empathy, and even speaks a little spanish! (a spanish teacher that comes every other friday and rotates with a music teacher) every month, a newsletter is sent out to the parents with event filled days for the kids to enjoy such as visits from firetrucks, dentists, and even recycling trucks! lunch, naps, and a wide range of activities are included in each school day with text updates from the staff. you can tell how much the kids love miss hamina just by how happy they are after school and there's no one better I could trust to leave my baby with than her. thank you Little Feet Preschool for being apart of our little ones growth! read more

My daughter will be graduating next week. She learned so much from Hamina's daycare. Hamina also provides various programs like music classes, outdoor activities, gardening projects, and so on. During the pandemics, Hamina also sensitizes the daycare everyday and carefully check the status of each student. We have been very grateful for Hamina keeps her daycare open in the past year. Highly recommend any parent who seek a thoughtful daycare. My daughter is now very sad that she is leaving soon. Come to make an appointment with Hamina to know more details. read more

I really wish I had more stars on dashboard to choose! My daughter has been going to Ms.Hamina's Little Feet Daycare since she was 2. Now she is 5 and all set to join Kindergarten. The kids have a great time and the staff are especially kind and caring. Little feet daycare has a good balance of fun and learning and my kid always looks forward to these activities. Ms. Hamina keeps us informed about our kids regularly by sending their pictures and videos The daycare turned out to be a blessing especially during Covid-19. Ms.Hamina and her staff did their due diligence in maintaining a clean and sanitized place for kids and I had no qualms sending my kid to the daycare even during the pandemic. I highly recommend Little Feet Daycare to any parent who are looking for a nice, safe and fun place for their tots!! We will miss you a lot and hopefully get to see you after "she" joins kindergarten. Wishing you good luck ! -Venkatraman Family read more

We love Little Feet Preschool. Small class size and the safe environment is provided for my son. He comes and tells me what fun he had at the school with Ms Hamina and Ms Stephanie. My son's favorite time is the music class with Ms Farida. Its a fun welcoming vibe. Special activities for holidays are also enjoyed such as, halloween, christmas, valentines days etc. read more

After touring 10+ preschools, we finally decided to send our daughter here and it is the best decision I have made! My daughter comes out happy and gets excited to go to school every day. My first impression of Little Feet is the teacher really cares about the student's health and safety. The classroom is spotless, well-maintained, and full of natural light. The best thing about Little Feet is the wide range of activities and educational opportunities they provide for the students. The school has a daily schedule of different activities, including art & science projects, music time, yoga, dance classes and etc. My daughter has learned so much and comes home happy. communication with the teacher is very easy. The teacher will send out updates and photos regularly that help me stay connected with my child. Overall, I would highly recommend Little Feet Preschool to any parents who are looking for a safe, healthy, and educational environment for their kids. The school exceeds all of my expectations!! read more

This daycare has been a great influence on my now 4 year old. Hamina and her team are very patient and attentive. She is constantly providing feedback and really cares about the kids. There are activities daily and what seems like weekly celebrations. Guest teachers are brought in, teaching Spanish, music, dancing, crafts, and more. The classroom style learning is getting her ready for kindergarten. Most of all I appreciate Hamina's patience and commitment to my daughter's development. Feels good knowing my child is being taken care of. read more

Our Daughter has been going at Little Feet Daycare for close to 15 months now and we are pleased to write this review with a 5 Star Rating. Our daughter in no time became fan of Owner / Head Teacher - Hamina who made her comfortable in a new school & environment when we moved to this area early last year. She is very hard working and always come up with creative ways to engage children and constantly thinking for the growth of children with well planned monthly themes and activities. She also has a great team of teachers working under her wing to support kids with day to day needs and which in turn helps to provide a good Student to Teacher Ratio. They have Yoga class, music class and circle time which keeps children engaged throughout week with strictly followed daily schedule which bring discipline at young age. We would most definitely recommend Little feet to friends or anyone reading this review. read more

My son has been going to Little Feet for about 6 months now and it's been a wonderful experience for all of us. My son enjoys school and tells me about the fun things they do, like music, yoga, and crafts. He has really grown in so many areas. Hamina is a very caring teacher, and her staff is well loved by all the kids, including my son, who declared in loved them within the first week. She is a good communicator on what he needs to work on and how we as teachers and parents can always be on the same page. I love all the photos and videos of the classroom that are available in the school portal. There's monthly newsletters and great info on what the kids are learning and how we can continue to engage my son on the topic at home. I highly recommend it! read more

I love the quality care they offer, they have low student-teacher ratio. My daughter has a delay in her speech and Mrs. Hamina sat down with us to come up with a plan for her. Each week I log in to the parent portal and view new photos that the school takes of her doing activates. They also teach Spanish to the kids, my daughter can count up to 30 in Spanish and knows all her colors. read more

To add to my previous review, Little Feet Preschool has had such a positive impact on my son and I cannot provide enough praise for it! During this Covid pandemic Little Feet Preschool is the only school I would even consider sending my son to. Ms Hamina has always taken great measures to keep the children safe, but has adapted even further for the current situation which puts my mind at ease. Another highlight of the school is that they pay particular attention to each child's needs and adapt accordingly. As an example, I asked that my son now focus on learning to read and in a matter of weeks have seen marked improvements. Other strengths are the various unique and educational activities that are planned out and in turn my son is always excited for what the next day holds for him. read more

Such a wonderful in-home childcare center! Hamina, the daycare owner, cares deeply for all the children and works to communicate with parents and listen to their concerns. Her home is spacious with lots of room for the children to play both indoors & outdoors. It's kept meticulously clean. She provides snacks and lunch for the children, which made my life a lot easier. Initially, I was quite nervous about taking my daughter to daycare. We searched around for several options and this one seemed like a great fit. I really appreciated the fact that Hamina would text over photos once in awhile of my daughter, which helped me feel at ease. We really felt like our child was safe and in good hands. My daughter attended Little Feet for 5 months. She loved it and thrived so much during her time there. Somedays when I picked her up, she didn't even want to leave to go home. She adjusted very quickly to the routine and became good friends with the other children in the program. There was a good daily variety of activities, including music time, art projects, working on learning numbers or the alphabet, etc. We recently took her out of daycare because we had another child and I will be home with both of them now on. On my daughter's last day, Hamina made her a photo book with pictures of all her friends. My daughter loves looking through the photo book and still asks to go to Hamina's house. We will miss Little Feet Daycare very much! read more

My daughter Mimi has been in this daycare for around 4 months now and I'm impressed because Little Feet Preschool is the best! I work in the city and we struggled to find the best childcare for Mimi. Mimi adjusted with Hamina in no time. Hamina who is the owner and the teacher is very sweet and creative. I like that they have a monthly activity wherein sometimes parents are welcome to join. I don't even have to worry during the day because I know that Naomi is well taken cared of. Kuddos to Hamina and her team! read more

Little Feet Preschool - One of Mimi's first photos at Little Feet Preschool. - Child Care & Day Care Near Me

My child has been attending this school since she was 2 years old; almost 5 years old today. The owner takes great pride in educating, nurturing, and providing care to my little one. She is ahead of her peer group and knows her alphabet, numbers, shapes, animals, and is starting to learn to read before even starting Pre-K. I trust this school with my child's life and development-hard stop! read more

I do not usually write reviews like this but I definitely feel as though I needed to write one for Little Feet Daycare. I know how stressful it can be when looking into child care for your children. I used yelp as my main source for information so hopefully this will help someone out! We visited 8 providers. From the moment we met Hamina we knew she was different from the rest. She was very organized and provided us with a schedule that she follows with the children. Hamina goes above and beyond to make sure the children are learning and always engaged. Since my scheduled varied, I would pick my daughter up at different times of the day, every time I picked her up all the children were engaged in some type of activity together such as gardening, circle time, reading, yoga, and more. In addition my daughter would bring home the cutest arts and crafts projects! Hamina sends pictures throughout the day and is very accommodating. Hamina and her team are the sweetest most loving people! They make sure every child is safe, loved and happy! I recommend Little feet and anyone is lucky to send their child here! read more

My daughter has been going to the daycare for the last six months. This is a review based on my experience and also my daughter's love for this daycare and Hamina. My daughter has always been very clingy to me and I felt the need for her to feel comfortable in another person's care. I was very nervous about how she would be in a new place with strangers as she has not even been with her grandmothers or aunts and uncles. I wanted to start it slow and expressed the same to Hamina before I went for the tour. She understood my choice. When we went to her place for the tour, my daughter got down from me and started exploring the place. She has never felt comfortable in any other place and would never leave us. After taking to Hamina, I knew she has a similar care style as mine. Repetitive and gentle corrections with distractions to undesired behavior. I knew this would be the place and we started it slowly. My daughter did cry when I dropped her but Hamina always sent us photos and videos to show she is enjoying. Hamina has a structured schedule but also gives them freedom to run and play. They have circle time, play time and craft time. I have many of my daughter's art pieces at home. She even had some work done for Mother's Day and Father's Day which was very special. She has some great helpers and I have sneaked in to see my daughter sitting on Diana(her assistant) lap and reading books. Recently, she even took the kids to the kiddie pool and I joined them. I could see first hand how spontaneous Hamina is in entertaining the kids with songs and games. Hamina also keeps her place very clean. We really appreciate what Hamina does and my daughter enjoys the place and the company. She sings the songs she learns during circle time. I could go on writing about all the things I have learned from her but will stop for now and write an updated review after few months. read more

Little Feet Preschool - Her artwork made during her time in daycare - Child Care & Day Care Near Me

Our son at was enrolled in Little Feet Preschool when he was 13 months old. We interviewed approximately 6 child care programs. The process of elimination began with the first phone call. Not only was the first phone call to Little Feet Preschool was pleasant and inviting, but once I entered the house I noticed the attention given to each child. Hamina who is the teacher answered all of my many questions. Hamina ensured us that our son would be OK and that we could call her anytime to see how he was doing. And, she meant it. Anytime I called, she would let me know how he was doing, and what he was doing - that extra bit of information gave it that special touch. She took that extra step. read more

My daughter Naomi loves going to Little Feet Preschool. Hamina and her staff are very hands on. They really have a good program for toddlers such as yoga, music class, science and many more. They make it enjoyable for the kids. I'm worry free everytime I leave my daughter here. They have good sanitation process even before the pandemic. I highly recommend Little Feet Preschool! read more

If you're looking for your child to have a safe, learning environment with a lot of personal attention, Little Feet Daycare is it. My wife and I wanted a learning center for our child rather than just a day care. Hamina the owner/teacher follows a Montessori style learning environment to teach the children. She also has plenty of help so each child is getting a lot of attention. I could go on but best is to just get an interview at little feet and you'll see what all the parents are raving about. read more

My son has been attending Little Feet Preschool for over a year. He absolutely loves going to school and loves all his teachers. The school provide so many fun educational and hands on activities for the kids. Even during this COVID pandemic, Ms. Hamina find ways to implement creative activities from virtual karate classes to harvesting butterflies and learning about the butterfly life cycle! I also love the small class size which is why I prefer home-based daycare. I have taken my son to many other schools and little feet one is by far the best preschool thus far! Ms. Hamina takes safety precautions during COVID extremely serious, which I appreciate so much! For example, during drop offs she ask series of questions, takes temperatures, and parents have to wear masks. If I could add another star I would! I even plan on taking my daughter to the school when she turns 2. I highly recommend Little Feet! read more

Little Feet has given me peace of mind when I had to go back to work after having my first child. From the moment I walked in the door of this daycare I felt comfortable. The staff really cares about each child and my baby is not upset when I drop him off. I routinely receive pictures of him throughout the week. The safety measures in place make me feel much better about leaving him somewhere as people are not able to just come and go as they please like some other daycares in the area. I visited every daycare within 20 miles of my house when deciding which one to go with and there was definitely not a better place. read more

I was recommended to little feet by a friend whose child also attends the daycare. During our tour, Hamina was very thorough and answered all of our questions. Her home is in a great location and classroom is very spacious. It was my child's first time attending a daycare, so I was worried about the transition, but the staff made it a very comfortable. It's been 3 months now and I have seen great results. My child enjoys her time at school and I feel at ease knowing that she is being well taken care of. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend little feet. read more

I was visiting for work and was a in a bind to find care for my daughter. Hamina took such good care of her and when we went to pick her up she didn't want to leave. I got regular text messages from her with pictures. read more

My boys had trouble initially adjusting to the idea of not being at home with us for the day. Hamina worked really hard in making them feel comfortable. First couple weeks my older one would cry every time I left but each time, the crying would get less and less. Now he enthusiastically asks to go to school and runs to the door every time we drop him off. Whenever I asked my little one "who's your best friend?" He would always reply with "Miss Hamina!" She really has a way in making them feel special and as if they were one of her own children. In addition to making my boys comfortable, she also makes me and my husband comfortable by keeping a really clean, organized and safe environment for the kids. She had really good open communication with us and we always felt at ease with them being there. We love her and her team! read more

Being mom is a difficult job. Being a working mom is even more difficult. You want to provide as much love, learning, and growth for your child but you can't provide that when you're away. I have diligently researched all the day care/child care programs in the east bay and I couldn't find a program that met my requirements and my child's needs. The ratios were often too high, the classrooms were too big and the list goes on. Just as I was about to give up hope and hire a full time nanny (and lose half my paycheck) I found little feet day care. It's a home based program with very low ratios at a fraction of the typical cost. Hamina, who is the program director is a true baby whisperer. She is so good with kids, incredibly kind and intuitive. She fosters a play and learn environment so kids are engaged and interested in learning more. Most importantly, my son is happy. When I pick him up he is clean, fed, and has a big smile on his face. Sometimes he doesn't want to go home. As a mom it's such a relief for me to know my son is in good hands. I highly recommend Hamina and I really cant say enough about her program! read more

Little Feet Daycare is incredible and extremely friendly. I am a student who is conducting an academic research about communication between parents and babies. After speaking with Little Feet Daycare, they were gladly to help me with my research. They were kind and willing to help. I couldn't appreciate them more! read more

I love coming in and watching the kids laughing and learning. I have never had any problems and I really enjoy dropping my son off to Hamina. It is clear that they are providing him with activities that are challenging him and stretches skills. I can go to work relax knowing that my child is having a wonderful day read more

Let me start by saying that as a first time mother, I was so nervous about sending my daughter anywhere but the second we walked into Hamina's home that all changed. Our daughter instantly warmed up to Hamina and her home even though she's extremely shy and attached to us. After a couple of days in the first week, she was so happy to be there. She even asks if she can go to "Mrs. Hamina's" on the weekends. At 2, Nora can now count to 15 in two languages, knows all of her shapes and colors, sings all sorts of songs, and is overall so glad to be at school. Hamina and her team do an amazing job with all of Little Feet's children and make sure that each kid leaves everyday happier than the day before. The only negative part of this is when our daughter will have to start kindergarten and will have to momentarily say goodbye to Little Feet and all of her friends. ;) read more

Where do I begin? Okay, here it is in a nutshell- Hamina is the most amazing, caring, loving, and inspirational teacher you will ever meet. If you have the privilege to place your child in her program you and your child are very lucky and blessed. My daughter Sabrina was enrolled at her day care program for almost year and it is amazing how much she has grown and learned, both emotionally and intellectually. It's more than just learning letters and numbers and receiving basic care - it's the holistic approach to teaching children to share, listen, respect one another and most importantly- to respect oneself. Over the course of a year Sabrina has developed better manners, she communicates more clearly and listens carefully in addition to playing and building relationships with her fellow peers and teachers. She is more confident and is already showing leadership potential. Because of Haminas amazing program, Sabrina is ready to thrive in Kindergarten and I can't thank Hamina enough for all the support, kindness, love and generosity. Much appreciated!!! read more

My daughter was 15 months and had a lot of separation anxiety when she started at Little Feet. She is also a very picky eater so I was very nervous about the transition to a daycare. After exploring many home daycares and centers in the area, we picked Little Feet because it provided the right balance of factors for our family. Fast forward 3 months later, and I am amazed at how much our daughter has developed under Hamina's care. She learned to eat and sleep independently and even picked up on signing to 'eat', 'sleep', etc. I see her using these skills at home every day. I am very impressed by how seriously Hamina takes this role. Her home is immaculately maintained and well set up to provide a wide variety of activities for the kids (coloring, crafts, toys, slides, reading, outdoor time, etc). She follows a curriculum but also adapts to the child's specific needs. Overall, I am very grateful for the love and care Hamina gave my daughter and the one-on-one attention she gave her to adjust to a new environment and routine. Unfortunately we had to relocate for work but I would highly recommend Little Feet! read more

I highly recommend this childcare/preschool. Their education-based curriculum is a great way to provide your child with a solid foundation of early education. They offer extras like birthday celebrations, puppet shows, animal shows, school photos, and lots of kid friendly events. The teachers worked with me to help my son with potty training, and the Zoo Phonics programs has improved his reading. read more

Finding child care is one of the most stressful and most important decisions a mother /parents will make. And add the stress of a working parent... From the first communication I had with Hamina, I was comfortable. She explained her daily schedule and how she incorporates fun with education. My 21 month old daughter comes home every single day with a craft or learning activity. I get consistent updates/texts with pictures and videos and trust Hamina instincts completely. Little Feet has helped my daughter learn how to appropriately interact with others her age as well as younger and older children. When we pull into the driveway each morning I hear "Mina Mina" from the backseat. So sweet. I can't thank Little Feet and Hamina enough for the nurturing and educational and FUN environment it has provided both of my children. read more
