Treehouse Tots is the most AMAZING place!…read more Miss Christi and Miss Hana have created a sanctuary of learning, love, and positivity for little ones to develop and explore so many beautiful aspects of themselves. We were so fortunate that our almost five-year-old got to spend his final year before kindergarten at this special school. The amount of care and creativity that goes into each child and each daily activity is astounding! Our child was seen and valued for all components of his personality and we saw the work of his teachers as the full extension of what we value most at home. We are so thrilled that our THT relationship will continue with our two younger children in future years. So much love to all of the THT family! We are so grateful.

Best preschool ever!!! Miss Christi and Miss Hana have created the most magical environment that…read morefosters love, nurtures resilience, and makes learning so fun, my kid has no idea he's learning. Treehouse Tots goes above and beyond in literally everything they do, from turning the entire school into a museum and weekly yoga classes to the unmatched warmth that radiates throughout the school. Their expertise in early childhood education is evident as they seamlessly integrate social-emotional learning and play, crafting an ideal balance that encourages development. Now, if only Treehouse Tots were K-12 our lives would be figured out. We love you Treehouse Tots and tell everyone who will listen about you. Thank you for everything you do for our family and the community.

My two-year-old has been at LUFLS for two months, and Shante, Sani, and Mrs. Nevy have been exactly…read morethe village our family needed. I was initially hesitant about home daycares, but after seeing the facility, backyard, and daily activities, I knew this was the perfect fit. Since starting, my son has learned self-regulation, goes to sleep independently (something he never did at home!), and his language has absolutely exploded. He joined with a strong vocabulary and some ASL, but now he expresses himself in so many new ways- it's astonishing to watch. LUFLS is all about learning through doing. The kids explore a chicken coop, care for other animals, play in a dirt box and water stream, do art projects, and even have an independent handwashing station. Outdoors is a favorite; my son's top word is "outside!" Beyond outdoor play, LUFLS offers enrichment like yoga, drama, and gymnastics, and on lighter days the kids enjoy farmers markets, train rides, and beach trips. These experiences foster both community among the children and connections among the adults. Daily updates through ClassDojo keep parents connected, and I couldn't be more thrilled to have found this incredible daycare. I look forward to watching my son grow here.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. We enrolled our kiddo at age 2 1/2; he is still…read morehere now as a 5-year-old TKer. The terrific facility has a spacious, shady backyard space, a creek, and a dirt play box with play shovels and trucks (which our kiddo loved during the tour). They also have chickens, with whom the kiddos get to interact and learn responsibility and empathy. I love that most of the day, weather permitting, the kids get ample outside time to continue learning. Hands down, the best reason to enroll is the expert and thoughtful staff. The amount of one-on-one time these kids get also shows how quickly our kiddo learned to read and write. The curriculum is also incredibly well-rounded, exposing the kids to different cultures and customs, fun and educational field trips that engage the kiddos, and weekly activities like gymnastics, yoga, and music. As a parent, I love that they focus on building a community for the kids, but they also want the parents to have a community. For some field trips, like apple picking, parents are encouraged to come along, but they also host kid-free gatherings for the parents, which is a great way to get to know everyone, including the staff. Additionally, Shaunte, Miss Sani, and the rest of the staff is incredibly supportive, not only in the areas where we wanted our kid to grow and learn, but also as a family when we've been going through tough times. Honestly, the LUFLS has been an extended family for us. One of the most valuable aspects of their team is how much they've allowed and helped our kiddo grow emotionally and build his resilience. Our kiddo is a sensitive introvert, and LUFLS has cultivated a safe and nurturing space for him so that he feels comfortable coming out of his shell so much that you might mistake him for an extrovert. I am sad we have to move on to Kinder in the fall, but I am so grateful knowing the Little Urban Farmers' team has helped my kid feel ready for this next big step, and I am thankful for all they've done for us.

Little Stars is just a gem. We currently have our three boys here (2,3 and 4yo). Our 4yo started 15…read moremonths ago and it has been amazing since day 1. Just beyond everything you could imagine. Everyday they explore, play, discover, laugh and learn more than ever. The kids are going to school with a smile and coming home even happier. At little Stars, they have beautiful spaces (a community garden where they grow veggies, a beach playground, so many ateliers) and loving teachers. Unfortunately the school had to close for a few weeks because of COVID. They reopened 19 weeks ago, with new safety mesures and since then no one has been sick. Kids even don't realize there is a new protocol. So Mrs Darlene, Mr Louie, the teachers, thank you so much for making the school like normal, with running, hugging, laughing, learning children. We will always be thankful!

We looked at a few options for preschools and after touring the school and meeting the directors we decided to go with Little Stars. I wanted to wait until the end of our time at LSP to write a review of the school and I couldn't be happier to say that this school was such a perfect choice for my son. We love Little Stars Preschool and highly recommend to everyone we know. The directors as well as all the teachers are excellent. It's a wonderfully diverse community, supportive and safe. Thank you Little Stars!!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at MACC. From the very beginning the teachers have been…read moreincredibly patient, attentive and genuinely invested in each child's growth and well-being. My child started in Ms. Shuley's class and she is truly the perfect teacher to begin a Montessori journey with. She is warm, thoughtful and exceptionally skilled at what she does. She made my child feel comfortable and secure and within just three days she was fully adjusted to her new school environment. Ms. Shuley's teaching approach is remarkable that we began noticing positive changes and growth within just a few weeks. We couldn't have asked for a better start. Our Montessori experience concluded with Ms. Melody and Ms. Gaby who made an equally lasting impact. My child absolutely adored them and even a year later still misses them dearly. They take the time to understand each child's unique strengths and interests, nurturing independence, confidence and a genuine love of learning. They strike the perfect balance between being loving and maintaining clear expectations for discipline. The growth we saw in our child academically, socially and emotionally was truly wonderful. The school maintained excellent communication with parents, consistently kept us informed about our child's progress and daily activities. The environment is clean, organized and thoughtfully prepared with engaging materials that inspire creativity and critical thinking. We wholeheartedly recommend this Montessori school to any parent seeking a supportive, enriching and child-centered learning environment. We only wish they offered an elementary program especially with Ms. Melody and Ms. Gaby as teachers!

I still have the same warm, positive, and grateful feelings towards the school I did five years ago. All of my children's teachers (Misses Esmeralda, Ana, Elaina, Allie, Cynde, Shuly, Melody and Gaby) have been excellent. I'm a total snob about people and experiences - I don't like most things - and I love these women. They have all been such positive influences on my children's lives. I also want to give a special shout out to Ms. Marycarmen and Ms. Michelle, who are transparent, communicative, and proactive - I always feel very well-informed with what's happening. And thank you to Ms. Gao, the Mandarin teacher! My daughter loves her. Lastly, thank you to Ms. Ruhi. She is a terrific leader. She celebrates the children while also being serious about their education and well-being. In the depths of Covid, Ruhi was calm, direct, strong, and smart. I'd send her questions and she'd get right back to me with informed and smart responses. When we had a family emergency, she was right there to be a resource for us. Tomorrow is the end of a chapter for us, and I really do have tears in my eyes typing this. Every day when I drop off my kids - tomorrow with Miss Gaby and Miss Melody - I know they will be well taken care of and come home a little smarter, happier, and kinder. Miss Gaby and Miss Melody are icons in our house. Heroes for those of us who believe you can be serious and still kind, funny and still strong. Thank you to everyone I mentioned here, and anyone I forgot. You all have made an incredibly positive impact on me, my children, and ultimately, my family.

The kids have days filled with creative and exciting activities without any screen time (I've seen other preschools and daycare's with TVs in the classroom:( ). They also do much more thoughtful activities than just coloring and painting which I experienced at previous schools. I'm very appreciative of the diversity in the school. I toured many different schools throughout my son's time in preschool and this has been one of the most diverse that I've seen. My son's teacher is Ms Ingrid and she is very kind and thoughtful. It's been really sweet watching my son learning and taking interest in Spanish even though we do not speak Spanish at home. Also the owner, Ms Brittie is very involved and very quick to respond to parents. Overall, I feel that there is a lot of thought and intentionality put into the way that the school was designed and runs. research based and geared towards celebrating each child's individuality while still helping them develop, socially and academically. :)

We expected tears, anxiety, and a difficult adjustment period--but to our surprise, our baby never cried. From the very beginning, Jamie's calm, nurturing energy made him feel comfortable, secure, and happy. One of the things that immediately stood out to us was how incredibly clean and well-maintained the space is. The environment is bright, open, organized, and spotless every single day. It feels safe, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for little ones to explore and grow. What has touched us most is the bond our son has developed with Jamie. Seeing him smile and reach for her at drop-off is the greatest reassurance a parent can have. There is no better feeling than knowing your child feels loved, comfortable, and excited to be there. Jamie has a special gift with children, and her warmth, patience, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. Every day we leave knowing our son is not only safe, but thriving in an environment filled with kindness, learning, and love. Jamie gives parents incredible peace of mind, and that is priceless. She's amazing and keeping us updated throughout the day and our baby is always smiling and happy.
