Shooting Stars teaches a letter every week, practices writing, dental hygiene, etc. it's amazing how much our little one has learned since being here! In addition to the learning, they also put together holiday events for the kids as well and we love to see that, especially the ones we get to attend to, it helps us get to know each other better!

They genuinely helped him grow and learn in all his different phases through these two years. Huge shout out to Ms.Neeraja for always putting the kids first and looking out for their overall well being. From all the events they do for kids, to working with parents based on each child's needs and ensuring social emotional learning, the teachers here put in so much effort in taking care of their students that I highly recommend this center for any parents looking for early child care. Special mention to Ms.Sheila who teaches kids with immense patience and always has their back. Ms.Jinu, Ms.Sara, Ms.Kanika, Ms.Chamu and Ms.Richa have all been very attentive and very hands on in our child's learning journey. We are so glad we found this place and very happy with how our child has grown here. Thank you to all the teachers here for creating a safe and caring space for little ones.

A special mention to Ms. Neeraja for maintaining the school so well and for always being approachable and supportive.

Another thing we truly appreciate is the flexibility and understanding with parents' timings and schedules. It really helps working families.

It truly offers the best of…read moreboth worlds--the warmth and attention of a daycare with the structure and enrichment of a larger facility. Every day, our daughter is involved in activities that help her grow and learn. From creative art, food prep, science experiments and paper crafts to making custom keychains, the projects are fun and developmentally helpful. There are also so many programs and projects listed in the newsletter we receive regularly. They do a wonderful job helping her build strong fine motor skills, and Fridays are especially fun because of dance day, which she looks forward to each week. What really stands out is the staff. Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall are genuinely kind, sincere, and caring. The teachers are always going above and beyond for the kids, and we always feel comfortable knowing our daughter is in good hands. Ms. Hamina keeps me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciate. I was nervous about putting my daughter into daycare at first, but she has had such a positive experience. She adjusted quickly and actually loves daycare! All the other kids are so good to her and each other. We are very grateful for the care and enrichment they provide and would highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging environment for their child.

The teachers, Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall, clearly love what they do and genuinely care about the kids. Ms. Hamina has put together an incredible curriculum. In just a short time, our daughter has gotten to experience so many fun activities--visits from police officers, a fire truck, the East Bay SPCA, cooking classes, and a new learning theme each month. Last month, they even put on an art show featuring all of the kids' artwork, which was such a thoughtful touch and a proud moment for us. We also really appreciate the cozy, home-like environment--it feels safe, welcoming, and perfect for young kids. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves going every day, which says it all. We're so thankful to have found Little Feet Preschool and highly recommend it to other families!

They made a real effort to accommodate our needs and limitations, which is something we truly valued and don't often see in similar places. Most importantly, our son genuinely enjoyed going there every day. He was excited to arrive, and sometimes he didn't even want to come home after a full day. The communication was just the right amount, and we always felt that he was in good hands. Highly recommend Safari Kid as a daycare or preschool! Special thanks to Miss Pooja and Miss Kruthi.

After only touring the facility, I will let you know what I witnessed…read more 1. The facility is dirty. From the floors, walls and the bathrooms the children use. I cannot imagine what the kitchen looks like where they prep the snacks. The paint was noticeably chipping off the walls and floor molding. It is not kept up like many other facilities in the area. 2. The outdoor play yard has minimal shade. They do have sun sails up but they do not provide proper shade for the children. 3. I didn't see any children smiling or having fun when we looked into the 2s, 3s and 4s rooms. It was a quiet room, but not in a good way. 4. There were many other safety concerns but the main issue I saw that needs to be addressed was that there were clear wall tacks used on the hallways to hold up art and other things. Toddlers walk the halls and it's a huge safety hazard to them. Tacks always fall off walls and it just takes one toddler to toss it into their mouth in a split second. Using tacks and tapes on the walls is definitely not to code and a violation of safety standards. 5. They are planning on adding infants to the room that has children up to age 2. I haven't seen this done anywhere else. It's a health and safety hazard to have infants with 2 year olds. Do not send your infants here. 6. This was the least racial diverse facility I have toured. It might not be a deal breaker for some, but it is definitely something to consider as it is something to give most parents pause. 7. While the lady who gave the tour was nice enough. She mainly walked me to the rooms and set me down in her office and asked if I had questions. She didn't tell me about their curriculum, enrichment opportunities, ratios, or what makes them stand out against the many other preschools in the area. Perhaps it's because they do not. I am surprised parents send their children to such an expensive facility that is lacking. Parents should do surprise visits to check on the wellness of their kids here. Visiting this place made me so sad for the children who are stuck in these rooms all day-- especially the room with the 2 year olds.

But since he joined here from last year, he hardly had it once or twice. I suppose sanitization/cleanliness maintained by the school made this happen. My child is a happy kid after coming from school. Love the way teachers like Ms Maria, Ms Shubhra, Ms Mai, Ms Vasantha, Ms Amy took care of all the kids and also at the same time taught them boundaries and behaviours and art classes, dance theaters. My kid has so much fun and learn so much there. Thanks buildingKidz Team for making all of this happen.

I was going to wait a little to write this review but I am blown away at Ms. Charmaine, her…read moreteachers, and the positive experience so far. The past 3.5 years we just had our moms helping us with childcare. As a parent you want to be able to trust the people you leave your kid with and make sure it's a good fit. Already two months in I have decided I'm cancelling his registration for public TK and am keeping him enrolled here. I see Ms. Charmaine when we drive by working early and late hours to make sure the children have play based learning activities. She keeps the place meticulously clean & cooks EVERYTHING fresh for the kids meals everyday. It's also very balanced for nutrition (I'm a nutrition coach and personal trainer so she gets a big thumbs up from me!). My son was very very picky with food before coming here, but just the past few weeks he has been more open to trying new foods, which is a win win in my book. I am also a big fan of the fact they send me monthly updates on what they are learning, special activities, and daily pictures of things he's doing throughout the day. It makes me so happy he's socializing and thriving in the Magic Beings Preschool program. I would recommend this preschool to any family looking for quality, great value childcare with a holistic approach. Very satisfied with my choice to put him in here. The security measures they have in place are also really nice- no need to worry!

My son went to this daycare for about a year in 2023. Our experience was a mixed bag…read more The good - It's my son's first daycare and he had a relatively smooth start here. Michelle and her crew are experienced, and they did create a cheerful environment for the kids. The bad - Sloppy day-to-day operations, or so we suspect at least. We could only speculate because the daycare was never open-door to parent visits (aside from the after-hour tour before we enrolled), but there were clear signs: (1) after the final checkout we found our son's steel mug missing, and it sounded like the crew didn't even remember seeing it - makes us wonder how they manage each kid's personal items. (2) Apparently, kids get to watch TV the last hour-ish before pickup every day. When we asked about this, Ms Michelle was 100% unapologetic. ("If you have concerns with that, I can totally arrange for your kid to stay in another room before pickup.") The ugly - The tuition uses a monthly rate without any adjustments for days off, and in December 2023, they're open for a whopping total of FOUR days - which isn't great, but nothing unethical I think, as they did share the calendar beforehand. We happen to be traveling the entire December, so we gave the 30-day notice for an end-of-November checkout. To our surprise, this was considered by Michelle an unfair (?) attempt to circumvent the December rip-off, and she insisted that we receive 5 fewer days of care in November. She would also go out of her way and type a "holiday notice" customized just for us. For context, the schedule has a 5-day off for Thanksgiving that's moved to December instead, and the daycare's open for the week of Thanksgiving. We were given a customized fake schedule that says they're closed during that week. We happened to be traveling, too, so it wasn't a huge issue, but the shady practice and bad attitude by Michelle did leave a bad taste. No, Ms Michelle, you can't claim people are "taking unfair advantages" when all they do is try to stick to YOUR established schedule. The care provided during Thanksgiving week was part of your schedule, simply as that and not a "benefit" that you selectively bestow only to those paying $2,000 for 4 days of care in the next month.
