Our very first daycare experience was at The Playhouse for 5.5 months. Kailan made us feel so…read morecomfortable from day 1. She is so warm and friendly, and you can really tell how much love and care she puts into her daycare and the children. That goes for the other caretakers as well :) My daughter Kayli learned so much and got to do so many fun activities and absolutely loved playing with all of her friends. Every time I picked her up, she was always in a great mood, smiling and waving goodbye to everyone as we were leaving. Unfortunately, they had to move out of San Leandro, but I believe they're opening up a daycare in Pleasanton, so if you are in that area and looking for a daycare, definitely look into it!

We were at Playhouse for a short time. We moved out of the area and the hardest part of moving was…read moreparting ways with Kailan, her staff, and the kids. My son THRIVED so much here. Kailan is such a wonderful person and you feel how much she cares for each kid. She nurtures their individual needs and gives them an outlet, activities, and play that actually tends to their likes. He has a hard time napping from time to time and she always communicated how his day went at PH. He had an ouchie once, and she talked me through what happened and also provided a solution to ensure it doesn't happen again (it was VERY minor). I ALWAYS felt safe dropping our little one to her care. He loves her cooking and always gives lots of hugs. I wish I could clone her and the team and move with us, lol. We have pretty bad PTSD from the previous pre-school and Kailan gave us a sense of security in knowing they actually care and keep all children safe while having a ton of fun.

CMA is a true gem. As an elementary school teacher with a degree in early childhood education I was…read moreextremely picky when it came to picking a school for my own kids. Their program is academically rigorous, fun and engaging. The school itself is tidy and organized. My daughter was rarely sick while attending her first year which I credit to their cleanliness. Most importantly, the incredible teachers! You can guarantee your child will be cared for, respected and nurtured in the best way possible.

Our little guy has been attending Children's Montessori Adventure since he turned two, and has now…read morebeen there a little over a year. He loves it. We love it. The teachers are so deeply kind and caring, and they are so supportive of the children. They focus on empowering kiddos to make good choices and helping them learn responsibility. It was actually quite hard for us to get in, but unusually due to the TK expansion they have a couple extra spots this year! If you are looking for a place for your young child to learn and grow I don't think you can do better than CMA.

Pretty environment, friendly teachers, fun activities... My little boy really enjoys going to…read moreschool every day. Also, they offer three meals a day, which really helps me a lot because it's a headache for me to prepare meals for my kid to take to school every day. Little Apple is a Chinese-English bilingual school, if you're looking for a preschool that teaches Mandarin, here is your good choice. My son can understand a lot of Mandarin now, I really appreciate the efforts that all the teachers make for it!

We had a wonderful experience at Little Apple Daycare. The teachers were very attentive and loving…read more They provide all meals, which was so helpful. The school is kept very clean. There are so many wonderful educational toys for the kids to play with -- Magnatiles, a music room, lots of room for physical exploration. We absolutely recommend Little Apple Academy to anyone who needs a place for their little one to call home during the day!

I highly recommend Ms. Jen's daycare!…read more We started my 3 yr old with Ms. Jen to prepare him for TK and she has done exactly that and more. Beyond the academic things he's learned (like writing his name, all the alphabet and #1-100), our son's social confidence has really grown too. Can't forget to mention she potty trained him and gave us a plan at home for potty training. It's obvious how much Ms. Jen and her daycare care for the kids. Thanks for everything Ms. Jen, Mr. O and Nanay!

My daughter started here at 6 months and has grown into a confident, adventurous and curious toddler. She has developed wonderful social skills while playing, creating art, and sharing in fun activities with her friends. The children are all loved and treated as family. I know my daughter loves all of the delicious food as well! I work in schools and have met many people who are great with kids, but Ms. Jen really is magical. My daughter is excited to go to daycare every single day. She comes home singing new songs and sharing all of the new things she's learned. We feel so fortunate; thank you Ms. Jen!!!

We love Kiki! My son was at Kiki daycare from 5 months until he turned 3 and recently moved on to…read morepreschool. All of his big milestones (sitting up, crawling, walking, talking, self-feeding, playing nice with others) were thanks in part to Kiki. We also loved that Kiki is a Mandarin immersion daycare. We speak predominantly English at home, and he would come home teaching US how to sing in Chinese! Since my son is now in a preschool where we have to pack lunch, I'd also like to reiterate the review below about missing Kiki's healthy meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner!). I would highly recommend anyone looking for a daycare that's caring, nurturing, clean, and thorough to choose Kiki daycare!

We started sending our daughter to Kiki daycare since she was 1. She is now in preschool and we are…read moreso grateful for everything she's learned while at Kiki daycare. I see so many great mannerisms influenced by Kiki. Kiki has helped us through so many things, from weaning my daughter off her pacifier (that she was VERY attached to) and getting her fully potty trained at 2 years old! It would have been so much more difficult without Kiki. We are so amazed at how she made these processes so easy for us. Now that my daughter is in preschool and we have to make our own food for her, we are really missing the meals that Kiki provided! When we have our next kid, we will for sure send them to Kiki daycare!

It is well established, secure, friendly, and welcoming, an excellent institution run by a team of capable women. The kids have so much fun, are learning so quickly, making leaps and bounds in their developmental abilities and socialization. They have learned the routines and their academic skills are quickly growing. They are very fond of their teachers and excitedly tell me about their days when I pick them up. I highly recommend Noah's Ark Preschool!

We have had such a wonderful experience at this preschool, and I cannot recommend it highly enough…read more My daughter is 4 years old and absolutely loves going to school every day. Since attending, her writing skills have improved significantly, and it has been amazing to watch her confidence and abilities grow. Erika is truly exceptional--kind, patient, consistent, and incredibly reliable. She creates a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. It is clear that she genuinely cares about each child and takes pride in helping them succeed. One of the things my daughter enjoys most is the variety of creative art activities the children do throughout the week. The school also has a beautiful backyard with fruit trees, which gives the children a unique opportunity to explore nature and learn about the world around them. As a parent, it gives me peace of mind knowing my daughter is in such capable and caring hands. The positive impact this preschool has had on her development has been remarkable. We are so grateful for this school and especially for such a dedicated and wonderful teacher.

The level of care, warmth, and education they provide goes beyond what you would expect. Their attention is shared with all kids equally, and I can share my experience after nearly three years. My boy started daycare around one and a half years old after attending a not-so-great daycare. As a new parent, I did not fully grasp what an impact a daycare could have. When he first joined, there was a period of time where he was not fully integrating with the rest of the kids. They worked with him slowly and tenderly, and he started opening up after a short while. He is now very extroverted, but the most important thing to me was seeing how he blossomed and became noticeably happier week after week. He also has a hard time eating, but I can always count on his plentiful healthy meals during daycare. That one hasn't been fully resolved yet, haha. As an aside, I bump into them at Costco every few weeks and they are always picking out the best quality ingredients. The kids are spoiled. As far as the day-to-day goes, their time is filled with play and enriching experiences. They are not just being taken care of and entertained; they are guided through a learning process tailored to each one. There is obviously a lot of care placed in pushing each kid's potential and, from what I can tell, they are exceeding academically and developmentally. Mine is performing at a kindergarten level in many subjects. Quick note on value, Araceli's was more affordable than our last daycare and all meals are included. This is getting long, but TL;DR: my son is happy, fed, educated, and loved here. I am eternally grateful for having found Araceli and Memo.

I would first like to thank Araceli and her husband Memo for becoming a great part of both my…read morechild's life. It's stressful trying to find the right daycare for your little ones but ounce we spoke with then an visited them my wife and I knew they are the right people. We first had my son Roberto and he started attending at 2 years old. He was quiet and and little to no social skills at the time. Aracely and Memo not only made the new transition easy and comfortable for us and our son but they became like a second family for him and my wife and I. He was with them until he was ready to attend 1st grade. They got him ready by teaching him how to read write and do Math. My son still calls her teacher and when he has a chance will go inside and hug them. My daughter came after and we wouldn't have taken her anywhere else. She started at 1 year old and they love her so much she's called by them the pricess. They feed her every day just like they did with my son and they love her food more than my wife's I know that's hard to belive but they do such a great job carring for every child and talk to you at the end of the day it's amazing. She is already starting to writte at 3 years old and they help potty trained also. I could go on and on with all the different things they do and how great they are. We has to move and truly miss them, if you are reading this just know they will take care of your child and will steal your heart. Much love to both of you and your Family
