Nature's Gift is, in my opinion, one of the best preschools in the Bay Area. We have experienced three to four different preschools and daycares, and Nature's Gift truly stands out as the best. The teachers are warm, kind, encouraging, professional, and very knowledgeable about child development. They don't just focus on academics -- they pay close attention to each child's independence, social skills, emotional growth, and individual needs. Their yearly evaluations are thoughtful, detailed, and clearly aligned with children's developmental milestones. My child had a speech delay, and with the support, patience, and encouragement from the teachers, he made incredible progress and was able to catch up with other children his age. We also had an IEP program through the school district, and every time the district teachers contacted Nature's Gift to understand how my child was doing, they were always impressed by how well his preschool teachers knew him and understood his development. One thing that really makes Nature's Gift special is the way teachers truly engage with the children. In many preschools, you may see children running around on the playground while teachers supervise. At Nature's Gift, you will see teachers actively playing, interacting, and building connections with the kids. They are present and involved. The school is also very clean and well-maintained. Teachers constantly wipe tables, clean the environment, and remind children about hygiene, including cleaning hands regularly. We are so grateful for the love, care, and guidance our child received here. Nature's Gift has helped our child grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. I highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a place where their child will be truly seen, supported, and cared for. read more

There are 5-star preschools, and then there is Nature's Gift, which is honestly on a whole different level. When we started our search, we actually did the deep dive research and found that there is no other preschool in the Bay Area that maintains a perfect 5-star reputation on Yelp. So, why is Nature's Gift so exceptional? Having watched our daughter grow there over the last two years, here is why: 1. Heart Over Everything: Ms. YinYin, the school director, emphasizes quality and love over everything else. Unlike the big preschool chains where it often feels like the focus is on revenues or rapid expansion over the actual kids, Nature's Gift stays true to its mission. In those corporate settings, you often see teachers just snapping pictures to please parents instead of actually taking the time to work with the children and show genuine care, not Nature's Gift. 2. A Genuine Community: The teachers are all incredibly loving and truly care about the kids--as a parent, you can literally feel that warmth the moment you walk in. Our daughter's experience was so positive that she would even ask to go to school on the weekends. That's the highest praise a kid can give. 3. Authenticity Over "Shiny" Facilities: To be fair, the facility is small; it isn't some brand-new, "shining" building like the chains. But we quickly learned that the environment is built on substance and love, not just aesthetics. Looking back, my wife and I both agree that sending our daughter to Nature's Gift is the single best decision we've made as young parents. If you want a place where your child is truly loved and not just a number, this is it. read more

A Truly Exceptional Preschool Experience I originally wrote this review a year ago when my oldest daughter graduated from Nature's Gift. Now that we've moved to a different city for her continued education, I find myself reflecting on the invaluable experiences and friendships we had there. Comparing her current school with Nature's Gift only reaffirms how truly special this preschool is. My previous review still holds, and I hope this updated one helps other families considering preschools in the Fremont area. Our Experience We feel incredibly fortunate that our daughter attended Nature's Gift for two wonderful years, starting at age 3. As she prepared to graduate at 5, we were filled with gratitude for the exceptional foundation this school provided. From day one, Nature's Gift nurtured a warm, caring environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. The teachers are not only patient and dedicated but also deeply passionate about working with young learners. Their guidance allowed our daughter to thrive academically, creatively, and socially. She developed a strong academic foundation, created impressive artwork, and built friendships that we cherish to this day. One of the school's greatest strengths is its emphasis on instilling good habits and manners--life skills that will serve her well beyond the classroom. Thanks to the well-rounded education she received, she successfully passed the admission exam for Stratford and seamlessly transitioned into Kindergarten. What Stood Out to Us As two working parents, we initially had concerns about aspects like the longer summer vacation, early pick-up times, and lunch preparation. However, these concerns quickly faded as we saw the tremendous benefits our daughter gained from her time at Nature's Gift. The school's low teacher-to-student ratio, focus on personalized attention, and high hygiene standards ensured she was rarely sick--an improvement from her time in centralized daycare. Ms. Yinyin and the entire teaching staff go above and beyond to provide quality education and individualized guidance to each child. The peace of mind we had, knowing our daughter was in such capable and loving hands, was truly invaluable. Looking Ahead Nature's Gift recently announced the opening of a Kindergarten class, and we highly encourage interested parents to consider this outstanding school. The dedication, care, and high standards they uphold make it a remarkable place for early childhood education. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Yinyin, Ms. Pratheeba, Ms. Megha, Ms. Krishna, Ms. Lily, and all the wonderful teachers who make Nature's Gift such a special place. We are forever grateful to be part of the Nature's Gift community! read more

My son completed 2 years at Nature's gift and it was one of the BEST decisions we have made for him. From the moment he is greeted at the door he is welcomed with smiles and hugs. The teachers are loving and caring to each and every child. We are very sad to leave them. Here are some of the reasons we love them so much: Great communication - newsletters and calendars kept us updated in addition we use the procare app to communicate. Safety/Cleanliness - kids wore masks since starting and the kids and teachers didn't mind at all because it was for the safety of all. Kids wash their hands upon entering and the classrooms are cleaned weekly. I can honestly say that my son did not get sick very often. Curriculum - different subjects, activities and books each week including cooking, science, soccer and even yoga! My son progressed so much...he would always come home telling us all the new things he learned each day. They teach new subjects each week and always reinforce all the things they learned throughout the year. Small class sizes allow teachers to give the needed attention each child needs. They have a great balance of academics and play which is why I loved it so much. Teachers/Director - so caring, sweet, respectful, organized and loving. I can't thank all the teachers enough because they have set a foundation of love for my son. He talks about them and shares how much he loves them. We are forever thankful for the love and confidence they have instilled in my son. Celebrations - one of our most favorite things was going to their performances. We had a Christmas show, a Mother's Day show and end of year/graduation show. They do such an AMAZING job with the kids, and you can feel the love and thoughtfulness that goes into each performance. Not only did the kids love it but all of us parents are filled with joy to see our kids smiling and performing. I wanted to write this review in hopes that parents that are doing their research see this and check out Nature's gift. Once you tour their place and interact with the staff you will fall in love with them as much as we did. We are so lucky to have found this little gem that will forever live in our hearts as the beginning of my son's love for school and teachers. read more

The absolute BEST preschool in the area! The teachers are all so warm and caring. The school plans a fun, engaging and active curriculum which includes: arts, music, science, English, foreign languages, ASL (American sign language), and lots of hands on activities: baking, painting, gardening, soccer. I've sent both my daughters to NG and both really enjoyed it and are thriving. I am so so thankful to them. I'd give them 10000 stars if I could! read more

See all

This is an absolute gem of a school. Kids are known, cared for, loved, and supported as they grow. My daughter cheers when I tell her she has school the next day! If you are looking for a preschool, you should definitely put this one on your list to check out. The teachers and administration are fantastic--always quick to reply and ready to support you. They are true experts at helping kids feel comfortable and supporting them through the sometimes tricky transition to school. My daughter is not only loved but also challenged in ways that make her excited to learn and grow. She doesn't stop talking about how much she loves her school, her friends, and especially her teachers. Nature's Gift Preschool has been an incredible experience for our family, and I can't recommend it enough. read more

Excellent school, very safe, nurtures each individual child's growth and gets them more than ready for Kindergarten. My child thrived in Kindergarten mostly from the great instructors and care from Nature's Gift, highly recommend. read more

Our daughter attended Nature's gift during her preschool year (3-4 years) and we had a wonderful experience throughout. The director Ms.Yinyin and the teachers there are very thoughtful, caring, engaging, focused, and fun and my child learned a lot from their wonderful curriculum curated to bring out the best in the child. They focus not only on academics but also overall social and behavioral aspects of the child. We saw a vast improvement in our child's overall growth and performance by the time she graduated Nature's gift and we are extremely pleased. Highly recommend Nature's gift to any parent looking for a great learning environment for their child in their formative years. read more

My son attended Nature's Gift for two years (preschool and pre-K) and has had the best time there -- he specifically requests that we don't pick him up early so that he can play with friends. Even after pickup, he and some friends would continue playing. The kids develop strong bonds and some continue their friendships even after leaving. It's difficult and nerve-wracking looking for the right school for my son because I had very specific requirements. I wanted him to learn and be challenged, but not pushed into becoming an academic performing automaton. I also wanted to him to have play time and to just be a child. I initially chose Nature's Gift because it felt like there was a good balance between both. In the two years that he's been there, he's learned and experienced so much. There has been many fun activities where he learned how to grow plants, yoga, cooking, soccer, all different forms of art, dancing, singing, science, space, animals, ASL in addition to the foundational reading, writing and math. His teachers can identify his strengths and interests and encourage him. He loves "hard" math challenges like identifying big numbers (in the thousands, milllions and billions) and asks his teacher to test him, which she obliges. He's also a budding artist and has developed a real interest and affinity for it. His teachers always keep me (and all the parents) informed about what the kids are learning and doing each month. He's sad when he misses out on learning in school when we're on vacation. Their style is one of gentle guidance, lots of support, encouragement and flexibility, but also firm rules. He's rather energetic and excited and sometimes finds it hard to sit still to complete work, but Ms. Megha is understanding and allows him to go at his own pace and to come back to it. They know what each child needs and nurture each accordingly. We are keep informed of his strengths and areas to keep an eye on. When his energy becomes disruptive, they speak to him and firmly explain the impact of his actions. He's growing to be a confident, emotionally intelligent child who feels secure in verbally expressing his feelings -- it helps in negotiating friendship dynamics. We are regularly surprised by how wise and socially adept he is and have to remember that he still is just 5 years old. Ms. Yinyin is very helpful when anxiety strikes me about whether or not I'm doing enough as a parent for his education and will reassure and provide suggestions. The school experience feels more like a community rather than a transaction. I've seen teachers mobbed by little kids (so cute) for hugs because the kids love them. It's a wonderfully safe bubble to learn and grow in. If they had elementary education, I would absolutely keep him there. It has been both time and money well-spent. NOTE: kindergarten is being offered for the first time this coming school year 2024-25. read more

I have 3 children. My first did her pre-k here and my 2nd has been here for 2 years. This school is absolutely amazing. The teachers are very kind and really engage the children. They really prepare them well for kindergarten. I cannot say enough about this school and how much they have set my children up for success. I am looking forward to my 3rd child attending in September! read more

My son and daughter, they are both attending nature's gift. All of the teachers are very caring and dedicated to growing and developing our children from a social and emotional perspective. My son and daughter really enjoy the academic, art and activities they provided in-school. We felt very safe for my kids since they have a very good hygiene measure during pandemic time. Mask wearing, frequent hand washing that really lowers the chances of my kids getting sick. We highly recommend Nature's gift to anyone who is looking for a pre-school. read more

My daughter has been attending since Sept 1 and I am so impressed by all of the teachers. They had an organized monthly calendar with the theme of the week, the activities and how it relates to the theme. They even have a soccer coach come once a week. The teachers all have Bachelor or Masters degree in early education and childhood development, and they are so high quality. It was my daughter's first time with any organized school, so I was anxious about the transition but the teachers were amazing with helping her separation anxiety and now 2 weeks later she loves school so much. read more

We are so grateful to Nature's Gift and everything they have done for my son. He flourished here. When he started, he was not really speaking fluently and had never played with other kids. Everyone there are so kind and caring, I cannot recommend them enough. I was really worried about how he would adjust to school but everyone there really helped him adapt at a pace that worked for him too. His language exploded too! Every day, my son raves about what he's done at school. This was my first choice preschool when I was searching, and it still is. I can't wait for my second child to be old enough to join the Nature's Gift Family. read more

We will always be indebted to the teachers and staff of Nature's Gift Preschool.Everyone is warm, welcoming and affectionate, and they genuinely care about the growth of each child.I enrolled my daughter 2 years back when she was 3 and she graduated in Summer of 2024 from her Pre-K class.In last 2 years we saw a tremendous growth (academically, socially, emotionally).The school has a very balanced curriculum and teacher to child ratio is small ,so that teachers can focus on each child and work with each child individually according to their learning pace.Children learn in the classroom ,but they get enough time to spend outdoors in their play structure too.They do lot of different activities with kids (baking, cooking, science experiments, gardening, field trips).The environment in the school always feel safe and protected.Teachers and staff communicate with parents all the time and tell them the progress of their child.Kids always seems happy their..They teach kids to be kind, well behaved and respectful all the time. Strong foundation is needed for children in their formative years and that's what Nature's gift has done to my daughter.She is ready for her next phase of her life.Now ,we won't seeing the teachers and staff everyday ,but we have made a long-lasting relationship with teachers and staff of Nature's gift. Our best wishes are always with Ms Yinyin (The Director of School ) and her staff.Thank you once a again and we couldn't have asked for better pre-school.I highly recommend this school to all the parents who are looking or will be looking for pre-school in the area. read more

Both of my girls have attended Nature's Gift and I am so fortunate we selected this preschool. From the small teacher to student ratio and the secure campus, I always felt confident my children were in good hands. All the staff are truly kind and genuinely care about the kids. They provide a myriad of activities such as yoga, soccer, and cooking. Lastly, they made school fun while learning which sets a great foundation for future academic years. read more

We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Nature's gift preschool for our daughter. She had attended several preschools and daycares over the years and Nature's gift has been by far the best place. The teachers at the preschool are exceptional. They are very caring and creative. A lot of thought is put in the weekly activities and art work. We are always delighted by the things our daughter brought back from school. Hats of to Nature's gift's team for being able to keep the school open in the midst of the challenging and ever changing Covid environment. It is a testament to the way nature's gift preschool is managed. We also appreciated that the school management was always open to hearing out the parents' suggestions in good faith and willing to make changes when they made sense. We are grateful that our daughter had the chance to learn and grow at Nature's gift and we hope that the school continues to thrive in the coming years! read more

Both of my kids went to Nature's Gift, including both of my nieces. This school really goes the extra mile in communication, education and encouraging play. They take all precaution for safety and take the time to get to know the child. All the teachers are amazing and Ms. Yinyin makes sure everyone, weather it's the teachers, families or the child, is taken care for. My daughter said she wishes she could go to Natures Gift forever! My family loves this school. I highly recommend it! read more

Nature's Gift offers a wonderful balance of learning and play. My daughter speaks so highly of all her teachers - they are all so caring and invested in the development of their students. The director of the preschool, Ms. Yinyin, and the assistant director, Ms. Cynthia, are quick to respond to my questions. This school takes covid precautions seriously, and I feel very safe sending my child here. Looking forward to continue our relationship with the Nature's Gift family. read more

Hands down the best preschool I have seen so far! Too bad that we have to move to mid-peninsula; otherwise I would have my daughter stay in this school as long as possible. Pros: Attentive and very gentle teachers, teachers help / assist parents in training child with separation anxiety, low ratio, well balanced curriculum which includes STEAM projects, great balance between play and academic, educational field trips, teach children social behaviors/ manners, and most important my daughter always wants to go to school and she still miss Nature's Gift now! Cons: NONE. Just wish they are also in the mid-peninsula. My daughter is now attending Stratford and I feel so fortunate that I have sent my daughter to Nature's Gift to build an incredibly strong foundation. When I compared Nature's Gift to other preschools that my daughter attended, nature's gift curriculum is advanced yet diverse (phonics, math, science, social skills & more)! Because of Nature's gift diverse curriculum, my daughter is now able to adapt to STEAM curriculum and advance into kinder and beyond! Thank you Ms Yin Yin and all other teachers! read more

We had to withdraw our son from nature's gift due to job relocation, but if we had a choice, we would have stayed for as long as possible with this preschool. They have the best principle who designs a well-balanced curriculum and most caring and patient teachers to execute. We were already impressed during the admission process. Unlike the other schools we toured who urged us to pay application fee and even tuition when there is no spot, NG took their time to schedule my son for two onsite visits: one for 2 hours and another one for half day to make sure it's a good fit. They also gave us detailed feedback after the two sessions. All of these done without us paying any upfront fee. I feel that they truly care about the child's welfare not just making another headcount for the money. Our son went to different daycare before and it was always on-and-off crying during drop-off, which tore my heart. I was worried that the same thing might happen with NG. Nope. It's a completely different experience! He was whining for me for the first day and two, and afterwards, he was never upset or not wanting to go even one time! The teachers are all very nice, Ms Elsie and Ms Ami, his primary teachers are gentle and patient, and will tell me all the bits and pieces about him during the day. They also offer tips for home when he makes bad choices or not following instructions. It feels like a team effort here to raise our som to become a better person, and he did! He made a lot of new friends, started talking and learning a lot, and become this very sweet boy. Several reviews already mentioned the curriculum is well balanced and it is very true. We didn't want our son to go through some rigorous academic program at this young age, and take too much fun out of his childhood. At the same time, we are not sure if some of the play-based schools are just keeping things easy for teachers by providing a supervised playground solution only. NG has a well thought-out plan which focuses more on the behavior at the preschool class and onto the academic at the pre-K class to be kindergarten ready. The kids do a lot of craft work, sing, story time and phonics etc. They also provide kinder dance and Chinese classes during summer school. My son came home with some kind of art work everyday and during the school year, a portfolio with his photos and art work was also sent home for parents (to admire and awww!) I can go on and on with this school, but I know some of you may get tired of reading, so I will just end it by sharing this recent conversation with my friend. She asked me about this school and teachers for her own kid. After I sang the praises, i told her: "I feel kind of jealous that your kid gets a chance to attend this school! " yes it's that good! read more

Our son attended the pre-K program at Nature's Gift this year. We found that their program is well balanced between art, academics, play, and interpersonal developments through daily activities. Teachers are engaging and nurturing to guide him with patience and fun. I was pleasantly surprised to see him go from barely holding a pencil to writing complete sentences. Even when the pandemic hit, they were quick to adapt and switched to an online curriculum using Zoom to keep kids connected with teachers and friends during this difficult time. We appreciated their kids first approach so much. We sent our child to their summer program in person when the school resumed. They are meticulous about following protocols from sanitizing all areas, teaching kids about washing hands, having individual supplies etc. We felt safe to send our son there. In the end, he has thoroughly enjoyed this year at Nature's Gift. He loves his teachers and meeting his friends there. read more

My husband and I are so grateful we came across Nature's Gift Preschool and enrolled our daughter in! We were looking for a replacement preschool after a not so good experience with our former preschool, so this was in the middle of the school year (December 2023). From the very first email response, the teachers and staff at Nature's Gift have been so warm, welcoming, kind and genuine. This is our 3rd preschool experience with our daughter A & we wish we had started her here from the very beginning. She is in the Pre-K class now and she has grown so much since starting here, not only academically but emotionally and cognitively. The teachers, assistants and office staff truly care about each student that attends along with their families. We've always felt comfortable here, A is always happy every time we pick her up vs. her old preschool where she was always upset. On top of the amazing environment, their curriculum is so enriching and truly cares about each individual student. There is a great balance between play and academics, watching how far A has progressed and her enthusiasm for learning has been amazing. Our younger daughter will be starting here this fall 2024 and are excited to continue our preschool journey with Nature's Gift. This place is a hidden gem in Fremont! Between the overly academic preschools and chaotic unorganized preschools, this place truly have the best interest of the children in mind. read more

So glad we found Nature's gift for our son! We tried another school and were so disappointed that we had to take him out after three weeks. This was 3 years ago and he has been at Nature's gift since then. And now he does not want the school to end! Infact we do not want it to end either. Thats the impact the teachers have created on him. I have personally seen this during his zoom classes on how much pain the teachers take to ensure kids get what they need. Its not easy and hats off to the teachers to pull it off. They will always go above and beyond which is so amazing. If you are looking for a pre school for your kid its my humble request to give Nature's gift a chance and I can guarantee you wont be disappointed. We need more such schools and teachers for sure! read more

We absolutely love Nature's Gift! Our son has done so well there, and really loves his school, his classmates and teachers. Everyone is so caring, supportive, and willing to work with families. There is a great balance of free play, structured activities, and learning. They do art, science experiments, cooking, gardening and so much more. I feel at ease knowing my son is so well cared for. Thank you to Ms. Yinyin and all the teachers for their hard work everyday. I very highly recommend this program. read more

We love love love this preschool. I've not known of any other establishment that is run on the principles of kindness and humanity. During the pandemic, we went back and forth multiple times of enrollment and unenrolling our daughter. Ms Yinyin has always been so understanding and available to our needs, requests and situation. Our oldest daughter would only be here for a few months before she starts K but she loves it so much that it'll be hard for her to stop attending this school. I've never known a child to ask to go to school even on holidays and weekends! We plan to enroll our middle daughter here and can't wait to continue our beautiful relationship with this school and a fulfilling journey! read more

We love Nature's Gift! My daughter is thriving in their PreK program, she really has flourished after being stuck at home for so long. All of the staff are really wonderful, caring, attentive. The program is thoughtfully put together, the director (Ms. Yinyin) and the rest of the staff have been so diligent during Covid. A part of me is so bummed that our time at Nature's Gift is coming to a close, the other part is looking forward to enrolling my youngest when the time comes . read more

We have been sending our son here since the beginning of 2021. We are happy and fortunate to have selected this pre-school. Our son was comfortable from day 1. Ms. Yinyin and the teachers do a very good job taking all the safety precautions during covid. The teachers and Ms Namitha in particular, are very caring and overall there's a good balance between academics and other activities. Our son learnt something new each day and he was excited to go to school every day to not miss the art activities! Ms Lilly, Ms Tammy and Ms Amita were very helpful through out the time our son went to school here! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a preschool. read more

Our daughter attended Nature's Gift during the 2016-2017 school year as a preschooler. It was an AMAZING experience. We transferred her here from another Fremont preschool where she was miserable. Before transferring to Nature's Gift, we went through a nightly ritual where she would ask, "Daddy, do I have school tomorrow?", if my response was 'yes', she would have a complete meltdown. Getting her ready for school and dropping her off every day was an emotional event for her. It was awful. Later, she would confide in us that one of the teachers at her old school had grabbed her by the arm forcefully and drug her across the room one day because she was being difficult at nap time. I believe her, because at that stage of her life, she had a difficult time sleeping if her mother wasn't with her. I tell that story above not to bash her old school, but to highlight the night-and-day difference once we moved to Nature's Gift. Where before, drop off time used to be a huge ordeal every morning, at Nature's Gift it turned into a breeze overnight. Where once, our daughter couldn't wait to go home every day, she now began to run and hide from us when we came to pick her up because she loved her school so much! The staff there is all very caring and kind. Ms. Yinyin was always a pleasure to communicate with. My daughter's teachers, Ms. Cynthia and Ms. Karina were a godsend and it was obvious that they truly cared for all their students. They treated each student the way they needed to be treated based on their unique personalities. I know that they made an impact on my daughter's life, because two years have gone by and she still talks about Ms. Cynthia and how much she loves her. As a parent, turning your children over to complete strangers after your child has spent the first years of her life only being with you can be a stressful and emotional experience. While we didn't get off to a great start at our first preschool, we hit the jackpot with Nature's Gift. I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone. We are happy and proud that they are a part of our story and we hope they stay around for a long time! PS. My little girl walked in as I was typing this up and I asked her if she wanted to say anything about Nature's Gift. Read her quote below! "I miss Ms. Cynthia and I love Ms. Cynthia." -B.W. read more

This is just a wonderful school. The entire staff are caring and committed. The facility is clean and open and my little boy really loves it. He is so eager to go to school and he is always talking about his school and his teachers with affection. This is a real school with real teachers. Highly recommended. read more

We were blessed to be part of the Nature's Gift Preschool family for seven years. Miss Yinyin and her staff educated and cared for all four of our children during their early formative years. The school developed a deep love of learning, created an appreciation for art, and cultivated a heart for caring for others. Their program strikes a balance between academics and play, and weaves kindness into everything they do. My four children are as different as any siblings can be, and Miss Yinyin and her team of educators treated each of them as the unique individuals that they are, nurtured their individual gifts, and encouraged growth in areas where they needed support. When my second child needed additional support for her aggressive behavior we worked with a therapist, and Miss Yinyin was open to the therapist observing our daughter during school and hearing how her program could support high-spirited children, embodying her belief that we are all learning and growing. When my fourth child graduated from Nature's Gift, I cried as if I was losing family. Eight years after my youngest graduated from Nature's Gift, our oldest will be graduating from high school in May 2021. Her success at Notre Dame San Jose (all girls college-prep school) and her acceptance into top universities with academic scholarships have a direct link back to her years at Nature's Gift. We could not be more thankful for Miss Yinyin and all of the loving and caring adults who devoted their lives to ensuring our children received the very best start to a life of learning. read more

There are so many things to worry about as new parents, and selecting a preschool that fits your child's needs is certainly challenging. During the time our child was in preschool for the first three months, he was struggling. We kept wondering... is there something wrong with him? Is there something wrong with our parenting style? What is going on? We decided to give Nature's Gift a try. Right away, Ms. Yinyin, the director and founder of Nature's Gift, scheduled some time to speak with us about our son's needs. Although we had a good feeling about the school, I was still skeptical because of the not-so-great experiences we've had at two other schools. My husband and I were invited to sit-in on a class to observe. We were impressed. Class sizes are small (something we didn't get at other schools) and the teachers and aides were super attentive to every child. When a child starts acting up, a teacher would correct it gently with simple logic. Example: If you keep disrupting story time, then we won't have time to play outside. Something as simple as that statement really resonated with me. We wanted an environment where my son was free to grow and be himself, but also offer some sort of structure that will prepare him for kindergarten and beyond. We also wanted a school that focused on all the positive qualities in a child, while understanding and correcting inappropriate behavior. I saw all of that at Nature's Gift. This was the type of school I wanted my son to attend. Ms. Yinyin is very kind and knowledgeable. Ms. Maryann, the co-director, is also great with the children. My son loves both of them. He's in Ms. Shweta's class, and he absolutely adores her! The three of them are very good at communicating with me and updating me with my son's progress. It was a little challenging to get him to drop some bad habits he picked up at other schools, but the staff was absolutely willing to work with us to improve my son's behavior. We came up with a plan that was executed consistently at home and at school, with a lot of communication. Now my son is doing much better and he loves going to school everyday (there are times when he can't stop talking about his day at school). I see such a big difference in him now, from his knowledge to his manners to how he listens to instructions. He surprises me almost everyday with something new he learned at school! It seems like all the teachers, even for other classes, know all the students, and vice versa. I think that's great. It really creates a wonderful community feeling. Other than learning letters and numbers, they do a lot of art projects where they practice coloring, painting, cutting, etc. They also do cool science projects that are age appropriate and gets them excited about science. They learn songs and there's even a dance class every week which my son really enjoys. A curriculum is sent home every month that clearly lays out a daily agenda for the month. On top of academics, they really emphasize independence for the students. All students must take off their shoes by themselves before entering the classroom (so the rooms are kept clean) and put them on by themselves when they leave the classroom. They also learn to use the restroom on their own (with supervision) and to clean up after themselves after snack time and play time. I'm probably leaving out a lot of awesome stuff, but if you're looking for a preschool, then I highly recommend checking out Nature's Gift. We are forever grateful to have found such a wonderful preschool! read more

My five year old has been with Nature's gift since he was 2 1/2. Ms Yinyin and all her teachers has been always been so kind and loving .My kid loved going to his school .Even during this current pandemic they continue to teach the kids online through zoom classes and my kid looks up to his class every single day.

Ms. Yingying, Ms. Maryann and the entire team of Nature's Gift are wonderful and very supportive and caring. My son goes to Ms. Shweta's class. She is absolutely amazing. Ms. Lily too helps out and she's very loving and caring. They really focus on the development of your child as a whole. They always have time to listen to you and work out solutions. The teacher child ratio is very small. There is a balance of work and play. Just love their curriculum. My son loves this school and is very happy to go here.. I highly recommend this school to little ones. A really great find after a lot of hunting!! A big thumbs up!! read more

I have three children and all of them attended Nature's Gift. After reviewing preschools extensively in Union City and Fremont I found that this school provides a unique combination of academic curriculum, creativity inspired through art and a strong emphasis on essential social and emotional learning. This program provided a pathway for my children to elementary school feeling confident, secure and open to learn and try new things. The teachers are kind and gentle and really focus on where your children can grow. They further assist you in identifying what you can do at home. As they say - it takes a village to raise a child - I would highly recommend that Nature's Gift preschools be a part of the "village" for any parents out there looking for a great school! read more

One of the best preschools in the Fremont area. Ms Yinyin and the entire staff is wonderful. It is very well structured. They have lots of activities and field trips throughout the school year. My child enjoyed her school and teachers so much that she would not want to come home at the end of the day. Would highly recommend this school for your little ones. read more
