My children adore them. My 9 month old squeals with happiness when he hears Sharon's voice on the intercom each morning. Sharon is very focused on the basics (good naps, full feedings) and both my kids sleep better and are more regulated under her care. Sharon manages to be both laid back, and very careful and attentive, at the same time. Sharon has transformed my experience of being a mother and I am so grateful to her. We love you, Sharon!

Can't say enough good things about Golden Gate Nannies and Shea. Shea took the time to really…read moreunderstand our family needs and dynamics, which made all the difference. She didn't just rush us through a questionnaire - she listened carefully and asked thoughtful questions to truly get what would work for our unique situation. The candidates she found for us were outstanding, head and shoulders above the typical people we found ourselves. Each person was thoroughly vetted, professional, and perfectly aligned with what we were looking for. It was honestly hard to pick between the final three candidates, all of whom were outstanding. Shea helped us make informed and wise decisions at key moments, providing guidance when we needed it most. Her expertise was invaluable! We are thrilled to have worked with Shea and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-flight nanny.

We are moving out of SF, but this program was one of the biggest reasons why we stayed in the city for so long. We have created wonderful memories and build wonderful friendships here. The teachers are AMAZING. I cannot tell you how kind, sweet and caring they are to all of the kids. The programs are fabulous and I cannot express enough gratitude and love for this program. Don't hesitate to register your kids here one bit!

I've decided to call them yesterday and this is what happened... 1st call: a child picks up then hangs up the phone. 2nd call: a lady with terrible English answered the phone ask for my name (after I said it 3x) and then proceeds to hang up in my face. 3rd call: the lady who I spoke with months ago (I remember her voice) answered and while I'm explaining mid sentence how I've spoken with her before and was interested in enrolling my child she then rudely cuts me off to say they are booked she took 2 more kids and to try next year. I told her she was the one who told me to call back around this time just for her to cut me off again and say their classes are smaller now due to lack of staff so try calling next year. By then I was supper pissed off so I hung up the phone. They really need to work on supervising the kids since they are clearly allowing them to play with the phones and they definitely need to work on their customer service skills. I wouldn't trust to leave my child with rude people like them.

There are not enough good things I can say about this school! We've had our daughter at the SF…read moreMontessori school since she was 6 months old (she's almost a year and half) and we feel so lucky to have found this amazing place. They take such great care of infants, it was impressive and reassuring to us as first time parents. Our daughter loves coming to school everyday. In the mornings she runs into her teachers arms and reluctantly leaves them at the end of the day. Her teachers are extremely warm towards her and it is clear that they have an authentic love for all of the children at the school. We always feel that our daughter is tremendously cared for and we're happy that we never have to worry about that. Her teachers are also very skilled with caring for babies, they're true professionals and they seem to anticipate all of her developmental needs from sleep to eating schedules and adjust seamlessly to all of her milestones. Our daughter has learned so much from being at this school, it always blows us away. They spend time teaching her lots of words, how to eat with utensils and encourage her to do different independent activities like putting on socks etc. She has made many friends and has close bonds with the teachers. The principal Mrs Vasi. is extraordinary, aside from being an absolute professional who has had this school for over 35 years, she is amazing with the kids and parents and has formed closed bonds with all of the families. She has created a very special school with a skilled, warm and passionate staff. The culture of the school is really communal and inviting while not being time consuming. The parents have a WhatsApp group where they can share resources and try to meet up once a week with anyone that wants to. The school also has long hours so it's great for parents like us with demanding work schedules. I would recommend the SF Montessori school to any family, it's been the best experience for us!

When I drop her off, she runs inside to snuggle with Helen or one of her assistants and it's so heart-warming to know that my daughter is in such a great, loving, and safe environment.

She is learning Mandarin, but Helen is great at communicating with us. We will be so so sad to leave if/when we move away.

I trust her completely with food choice (always healthy options at every meal - salmon, chicken, beef, veggies, fruit, grains, homemade bread, yogurt), keeping my daughter warm and clean, safety, activities at the playground and all the arts and crafts that they do at her house. She's communicative, sending multiple photos and videos throughout the day, professional, caring and really loves and care for the children. We were brand new to SF when our daughter started going to Helen's and we will forever be grateful for her. She's made our transition to a new city while being new parents so easy and worry-free. I can't recommend her strongly enough and honestly wish I could have my daughter there till she's in kindergarten!!!

The teachers genuinely love and care for the children and provide a nurturing and encouraging atmosphere every single day. The school is one large open space divided into 3-and 4 year-old classes. While the facilities are not brand new, they are very well maintained and always orderly. The curriculum is play-based. The drawbacks: currently no on-site outdoor play area. We've had to move on to another school due to some logistical issues, but I want to thank the staff for their excellent care and for making my daughter's first preshool experience one to remember.

It was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for her early development and happiness. From day one, we had complete confidence in Jasmine and her dedicated team. They made a thoughtful effort to ensure our daughter felt welcome during her transition into daycare--bringing her favorite toys (baby dolls) to her at drop-off to help soothe her. By the third day, she was no longer crying at drop-off and quickly began looking forward to going to school. She regularly talks about her amazing teachers--Chloe, Toni, and Ruby--and all the friends she made in her classroom. One standout example of Apple Tree's incredible attention to detail: during her very first week, they surprised us by celebrating her 2nd birthday with a cake and singing, even though she was brand new. She was absolutely beaming in the photos they shared with us. The classroom activities were varied, thoughtful and based on monthly themes. We loved receiving weekly photo updates that showed all the fun and educational things she was doing. It was clear she was thriving in this environment. A unique and helpful perk of Apple Tree is the monthly Parent's Day--offering full-day weekend drop-in care. This gave us valuable time to recharge, knowing she was in a safe and familiar space where she was happy and well-cared for. We also really appreciated the flexibility Apple Tree provided with our variable weekly schedule, allowing for earlier drop-offs when needed. Since starting at Apple Tree, our daughter's confidence and independence have blossomed. The school gently encouraged her to do things on her own--like putting on her jacket and shoes--which built her self-esteem. We started potty training over spring break, and thanks to the attentive support from her teachers, she was fully potty trained within a month. There are so many more positive things we could say about Apple Tree. We are deeply grateful for the nurturing and joyful community they created, and we feel so lucky our daughter was a part of it, even for a short time. If you're considering enrolling your child here and have any hesitations, let this review be the encouragement you need--Apple Tree is truly a gem.

Now as a toddler, she loves to tell us about her friends and teachers there. Jasmine and the team are very warm, experienced and communicative, and all the kids look delighted to see them each day at dropoff. They plan an amazing range of activities, usually with a fun "theme" of the week, and we've noticed at home that she picks up practical skills like tidying and putting on clothes. We also appreciate that they have a large outdoor space, and provide meals for the kids. We are very grateful and would highly recommend!
