Our family has had an incredibly positive experience at KMS. The teachers are truly the heart of…read morethe program -- thoughtful, caring, and deeply invested in each child. Over the past two years, our son has grown and thrived in the Pumpkins (preschool) and Strawberries (early elementary) programs, and KMS has been a safe, nurturing, and formative place for him. The Reggio-based approach, with its emphasis on open-ended learning and play, has allowed our son to explore, ask questions, and build confidence in a way that feels both joyful and meaningful. The field trips are exceptional and thoughtfully tied into what the children are learning, bringing lessons to life in memorable ways. The aftercare program is also outstanding. It's engaging, well-run, and a real extension of the school's values. We are deeply grateful for the community, care, and creativity KMS has provided our son, and we couldn't recommend it more highly.

The JCC Helen Diller Preschool has not only been a wonderful place for my daughter, but for our…read moreentire family, as well. We were drawn to the school for so many reasons and here are just some that really stand out for us... It's an Emilio Reggio school with a phenomenal teaching staff and the director works diligently alongside parent volunteers to be sure that the teachers are consistently feeling as supported and appreciated as they make our children feel every day. There is a full time garden teacher, music teacher and art teacher who all have great expertise in fostering curiosity and appreciation for the beautiful world of nature, music and art and work with the children and alongside the classroom teachers to bring these amazing components to the kids. The school community feels like a home away from home. There are numerous ways parents can volunteer (which is completely optional) and be involved in the school community. My daughter started school in the height of the pandemic and the staff really thought outside the box in how to keep that feeling of community going. Now that we're past that, events and opportunities to come together as a community abound and really make us feel like we're living in a small town. Children do not need to be potty trained (let's just say this was VERY important to us ). The teachers really meet the kids where they are and gently encourage them to step outside their comfort zone to grow. I have personally learned so much from watching the teachers respect an individual child's own comfort level in any situation and think outside the box to ensure each child feels respected to be who they are. Yet through creating a safe space and gently encouraging growth, I have seen the children blossom into confident individuals and take such pride in their own achievements. My daughter will say things like, "mommy, I'm so proud! I believed in myself and I did it!" Logistics perk: drive through drop offs. I had a newborn at home when my daughter started preschool and I'm sure that every parent can relate - the drive through drop offs without needing to get the baby out of the car saved my sanity . Almost 2 years later, I still find the drive through drop off option to be an incredible, time saving perk. I still love to walk my daughter into school or go into the classroom to pick her up, but having the drive through option has been a game changer . The Pre-K program really prepares students for elementary school and the director, Karla, works alongside families to provide resources and guidance as they navigate the process of transitioning to elementary school. It's a place that instills the start of a lifelong love of learning and discovery.

Our experience with this preschool has been exceptional. The teachers are not only highly skilled…read morebut also incredibly nurturing, creating a warm and supportive environment for our child. The sense of community among parents is remarkable, fostering a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere. The director's leadership is truly commendable; their dedication to creating a positive and enriching learning environment is evident in every aspect of the preschool. We feel fortunate to be part of such a wonderful educational community. It takes a village to raise a kid. we are so fortunate that JCC Helen Diller is our village especially when we see our daughter is thriving in such a loving community.

When I 1st came here there were over 20 kids waiting to get picked up by their parents for after…read moreschool care. As the weeks went on there was less and less. Even prior to COVID19 there were less than a dozen kids coming here. At a friends birthday party I ran into a child that had recognized my kid. She told me she was also going but told her parents she didn't like it there after a week, so the parents stopped. Seeing what the staff does and doesn't do I understand. My niece who had gone here for preschool said the pretty much the same thing now that she is in high school. It's pretty much like paying a teenager to watch over your kids, just having them watch TV, play and eat Goldfish crackers. The kids while waiting for their parents are walked down to the Wah Mei and allowed to play in the courtyard for an hour before going in and allowed to run around. When the weather is cold or raining they are allowed to run around the next door church instead. When there is a disruptive child in the group the staff does nothing about it. Most of the time the kids just all give and all run around and play instead of focusing on study and homework, what the staff should be doing. 6 months ago they invested in a TV so the staff could just plug in their phones and watch Youtube videos instead of running around.

Last Friday was our last day of preschool at the amazing Wah Mei Preschool. After two wonderful…read moreyears, I shed quite a few tears; it was bittersweet. With incredibly dedicated staff, a well-rounded, play-based curriculum that's an accredited California "First Five" school and choice of either full or half day programs, your child will be totally prepared for kindergarten and perhaps bi or tri-lingual in Mandarin and Cantonese. Children go on weekly field trips to the library and occasional field trips to the California Academy of Sciences, The Botanical garden in Golden Gate Park and Zeum at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Apply early (I recommend when your child is two years old) to increase your chances your child will get a spot at this top-notch San Francisco preschool. Especially with California having moved back the kindergarten deadline for children whose birthdays fall on or before September 1st, it seems there are fewer spots at all the city's preschools. And, tuition at non-profit Wah Mei Preschool is a fraction of what you'll pay at other preschools in the city. The school opens as early as 7:30 and closes as late as 6pm. Breakfast (until 8:30am), a hot and nutritious lunch and snacks are inclusive. Don't miss the opportunity to send your child to Wah Mei Preschool.

This place is like family to me and now that I have not just my 4 yr old but also my infant here their services have been such a huge help for me in returning back to work. Every request has been followed and the pictures I receive and see through the app has reduced my anxiety greatly. These teachers don't get thanked enough in my opinion. This yelp review is long overdue. I love that they have. Alot of free resources for the kids like their dental screenings. Also have received a lot of clothes for my infant from this center. They have a donation table in the front of the lobby. One thing I really appreciate is the transition my oldest came right when he was 1 years old and began walking at 1 yr n 1 month. Now my youngest who is turning 1 next month arrived when he was 6months and to watch them go from class to class has been such a beautiful thing to witness. Same teachers and familiar faces so the kids don't feel weird or scared to transition all the way to preschool from infantry. Frandelja has allowed me to have a great work life balance.

We have a tremendous amount of appreciation for her and her services. When we had to find child care for my daughter at 6 months old I had no hesitation to bring her to Clovery. We are now at our last days with Sammi. I'd be lying if I said I didn't shed a tear about leaving. My kids adore her and it will be a rough transition. BONUSES! Clovery Family Childcare uses an app where Sammi records when and what your child eats-along with if they ate all, most, or none of the food. It also lets you know when they potty. She takes your children's temperature and posts what it is. She posts when they fall asleep for a nap and when they wake up. She lets you know when she's running out of diapers and wipes with a sufficient amount of time to restock. And my favorite part- she posts pictures of your kiddo doing so many fun activities while they're there. This daycare has become a family for my children and they will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If you can't tell--100% recommend!!
