    Just one of the many awesome pictures I have from Play 'N' Learn.

    Play N Learn was the absolute best place for both my daughter and son. We had two amazing years at P'n'L, and the positive impact still resonates a year after our departure. My kids still ask about the staff, and are connect with children they were in school with. The lessons, and special events were all fantastic, but it is the staff that makes their site so special. There is no doubt that everyone in that building loves children, and knows how to reach them. Thank you, Play N Learn for giving us parents a great place to for our children to learn and grown.

    Thank you Play N Learn for creating the best memories for our sons for the past 4 years. Our two sons had been at Play N Learn Massar location since they were 18 months old. If anyone is looking for a preschool and is worrying about the safety environment, the cleanliness, and specially friend staffs / teachers, Play N Learn Massar is the one that has it all, they made us feel at ease. We got daily updates with pictures and comments via the school app. The whole staff goes above and beyond in supporting the children. The school is trying very hard for monthly special event to bring parents together with their children, so you can witness how your kids playing with friends and using their social skills. It was nothing but the best. We are truly grateful for everything Play N Learn Massar had done for our family and we continue recommending Play N Learn Massar to friends and family!!!!!

    Play n' Learn was one of the best decisions I made during my child's younger years. We had to say goodbye for the last time so she could go to kindergarten, and both her and I were filled with tears. This school becomes a second family, and my daughter is still saying she misses her teacher. They do so many activities both during the school year, and during summer. Miss Yvonne keeps parents informed throughout the day, and promptly replies to messages on their app. They update you throughout the day with photos, which is amazing when you're leaving your child there from morning until afternoon. I can't say enough great things about the staff, because the love we both have for them goes beyond words. Thank you Play n' Learn for 2.5 years of love, laughs, and everything in between. I especially love their summer program, holiday parties, and the daily updates and photos. We miss them so much and if anyone asked me about recommendations for a San Jose preschool, I would recommend them every time.

    We absolutely LOVE PNL Massar. I would give them a 10 star rating if I could and I always recommend to anyone for their kids! Both my kids attended/graduated from PNL and have been excelling in their classes in Elementary school. PNL is so much more than just a preschool, it's really a family. My kids felt such an immense amount of love from everyone and for that were so grateful. Ms.Yvonne is amazing and welcoming, along with all the other teachers at the school. They're just great with everything they do, keeping the kids minds stimulated and keeping their attention. Abby & Joshua miss you all so much!

    Moving on up! #Graduation day!

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I have never let anyone outside of a few close family members watch my child, so I was hesitant to place her under anyone's care, but I'm so grateful I came across Play N Learn preschool! My daughter looked forward to coming here and would always talk about how good of a day she had with the friends she made and the learning activities her teachers had in place. The staff were always nice and welcoming. One thing I loved the most was the app they provided. The app allows you to communicate with ease and get updates regarding naps and activities, as well as pictures to let you know how my child was doing. Big thank you to Ms. Flo for making it a fun environment for my daughter throughout her day there, she always talked nice things about you when she got home. Thank you Play N Learn for everything. Off to new adventures

    Where do I began? There is sooo much I can say about PNL Massar. Over the last 4 years, my daughter attended PNl Massar since age two and recently moved up from kindergarten. As a Black parent to a Black presenting child, I was looking for a preschool in the San Jose area that was diverse and safe, and I got very lucky. Throughout the years PNL Massar provided a safe and healthy, nurturing, inviting, bright, magical, playful, and creative play environment for my daughter that helped foster the amazing little girl she is today. As an intentional parent, one of the most important things I wanted out of a preschool was an environment where my daughter would be embraced for who she was and looked like. The teachers and families of PNL did just that. Over the last four years I saw how much attention to detail the teachers and the director gave to my daughter, esp. If I had concerns or questions regarding anything! I also loved how they poured so much love into my daughter and called her beautiful every morning. The teachers are excellent. They are also very attentive, compassionate and treat your children as if they are their own. The school director Ms. Yvonne had a smile on her face every single morning when we walked through the door. She even called to check on me one day after a crying morning my daughter had that turned into me crying. PNL Massar became our second family, being from the east coast it was just what we needed as a solid support system. Did mention both locations stayed open the entire time during covid!! I can go on and on! but, again I appreciated our time spent at PNL Massar and the balance they provided between education and creative play. Last, but not least. I wanted to say a special Thank You to Ms. Florinda. She is an amazing person and teacher. I will forever love her for becoming a special role model to my daughter and always being open, honest and forthcoming about her skills and classroom expectation from the parents and students. I also appreciate the love, care, and attention to detail she provided all the kids. I appreciated how she was open to talking about my daughter's education and what she could do to meet her needs as her teacher. She never ceased to amaze me. From holiday performances she directed to the personalized gifts she would give the kids for every holiday and occasion. The parties never stopped She deserves the world! We Love her to the moon and back! Again, if you are looking for safe, healthy, and enriching preschool PNL Massar is it!! Thanks again to Ms. Florinda, Ms. Yvonne, Clarissa, Ms. Rosy, Ms. Yen, Ms. Atzimba, Ms. Tali, and Ms. Laney, we love you all and will miss you. Best Kharyne

Ms. Mila and her husband Mr. Cuqui took care of both my children--my youngest from the time he was an infant until he recently transitioned to TK. They are some of the best caregivers I have been lucky to meet, and they are organized, efficient, and dependable in how they run their home daycare. If you are a new parent and unsure of whether a nanny, preschool, or something in between will be the most ideal for your child, Ms. Mila's truly blends the best of them all. The home-based environment provides that casual, family-like touch that is so good for the little ones' development and helps builds important human connections at an early age. At the same time, Mila and Cuqui integrate lots of intentional teaching, play, art, and activities on a daily basis that engage the children in foundational learning and skills-building. Both my kids learned to read at an early age, which I attribute to the help of the consistent attention and teaching they got here. On top of it all, Mila and Cuqui know how to make things fun--they celebrate holidays, birthdays, and occasional family gatherings, not to mention they take some enviable, much-deserved vacations and camping trips on their time off! I admire these providers greatly in how they live and run a business, and I truly loved and will miss sending my kids to them alongside all of their daycare friends. If you are lucky to secure a spot at Ms. Mila's, your family is SET.

Meeta Aunty and her family give individual attention to the children, make it a fun place while still challenging the children to learn. I saw our daughter counting to 5, recognizing alphabets and conversing with other kids by the time she turned 2. I could'nt be more satisfied with our decision to send out daughter to Meeta's Daycare. Our daughter felt like it was her second family, she made some close friends and it has felt effortless for us so far. Meeta's daycare also provides hot home cooked lunches everyday with pizza parties now and then and our daughter loves them. If we have more kids, we know where we will send them to! No brainer for us! 10/10 highly recommend!

Meetu aaji use to let my son sit in her laps for first few weeks just so he will settled down and within few weeks he started loving day care.. she is so loving.. he learned so much, he has become very socially interactive and confident.. he knows how to clean up.. academically he is really showing positive signs.. they have set playtime, activity time, eating hours, sleeping hours, it's really pretty well structured...

I assumed it was something her new teachers say, but she quickly corrected me: "No, no, Andrea says hurry up!" She then went right back to playing, laughing and calling out, "hurry up hurry up!!" That moment alone speaks volumes about how much Andrea means to my daughter. She started at Happy daycare when she was just 1.5 years old. As a first-time mom, I cried on her first day, and Arti sat with me, gently reassuring me that we just needed to give her time to build trust. I can't express how much it meant knowing they understood this was her first time away from home. Within a week, the tears stopped. On her last day, I was the one still in tears because Andrea wouldn't be caring for my little girl anymore. Andrea is incredibly kind and patient. She cared for my daughter with so much warmth that even on weekends, my little one would ask to go see her and this happened more times than I can count. I never had to worry about food it was all taken care of at the daycare. During a medical emergency with my daughter, both Andrea and Arti stayed with her until I arrived, then remained by my side as we figured out the next steps. My daughter still misses Andrea to this day, and I know she will for a long time.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of comfort that instantly put all our nerves at ease. If you choose to take a tour you will see current children in their natural environment. Ms. Doan and her amazing staff are kind, caring, enthusiastic, and always find a lesson to teach with every dynamic interaction or situation. Rest assured that your child will blossom at NEST with Ms. Doan, the team, and all other like-minded families wishing for the best and safest childcare options in South San Jose.

    We cannot say enough good things about Doan and her program. Our kids went to a well-run preschool…read morebefore we discovered NEST, and although that was a good option, the quality of care, ratio, teaching philosophy both academics and learn through play as well as life skills provided by NEST are far more exceptional than I could ever expect in a preschool. Like most parents, we had reservations in general about in-home child care. Before knowing about her school, we got to know Doan through a neighborhood group and through our relationship learned how kind and reliable she is as a person. From a profession standpoint, Doan has a Master degree in Child Development and had experience teaching at Stratford and other well established schools. The business is fully licensed. We had a tour and interview in December 2022 when my son was 2.5 years old, and the rest was history. A day at Nest starts with circle time, a walk to a nearby park where they get to spend plenty of time outdoor, play on the playground (I have a smile on my face every time I think of the image of our kids and their friends holding hands walking to the park together), when there's rain they get to put on little rain coats and play in the puddle, or make homemade cookies, smoothies and enjoy together, or other times they get to do gardening and learn about butterflies, bees, and pollinators. She teaches the kids to appreciate and protect the earth and the environment. They celebrate different cultures and develop kindness towards one another. Doan also invites each family to a private Facebook group where we get to see photos of the kids and their activities each day. This is the best part for me, as I look forward to seeing what my kids are doing while away from them. I often say to Doan, I wish I had a childhood full of experience and memories like these little kids. Doan's teaching philosophy is learn through play, and if that's what you are looking for, you are going to love NEST. Doan pays a lot of attention to the development of each child. My son barely talked when he started at NEST, he had troubles with certain pronunciation and to bear on the safe side, Doan made sure she informed me timely to check with his physician. Today, he is a confident 5 year old boy who is well prepared to start his next chapter at grade school. We are grateful for NEST and I am sure it will be one of the best decisions you'll make for your child.

    Run and Fun Childcare

    Run and Fun Childcare

    (19 reviews)

    Run & Fun is one of those rare places that leaves a lasting mark on your family…read more We found Run & Fun through a recommendation from a mutual friend, and all three of our children started there at just six months old. Looking back, I feel incredibly fortunate that they did. Our eldest was born during COVID and spent the first six months of her life with very little interaction outside our immediate family. She has always been a sensitive child and naturally hesitant in unfamiliar environments, so I was especially nervous about leaving her somewhere new. But Erika and Carlos had an incredible way of making her feel safe from the very beginning. She connected with them almost immediately, and before long, Run & Fun had become her happy place. She loved going there so much that leaving at the end of the day was sometimes a full-on emotional event! She would cling to Erika's neck and cry because she didn't want to go home. That says more than any review ever could. She wasn't simply comfortable there. She felt loved, secure, and completely at home. And when our two younger children joined, they developed that same special bond with Erika and Carlos. What makes Run & Fun extraordinary is, above all, the people. Erika and Carlos are truly exceptional human beings. They are warm, patient, generous, and incredibly attentive, but most importantly, they have a natural gift for understanding and caring for children. The love they give isn't something you have to wonder about. You see it in the way the children run to them, trust them, and simply feel happy in their presence. They also put so much thought into every aspect of the children's day. Carlos prepared fresh, delicious food that my kids absolutely loved, and Erika made learning fun and engaging, introducing them to letters, numbers, and early learning in such a natural way. By the age of three, our eldest recognised all letters and numbers (in English and Spanish) and could write her own name. And they always came home with the sweetest little pieces of art and crafts. I still have a box full of them, and they are some of my favourite keepsakes from those years. When we moved away, I honestly cried. It was incredibly difficult to leave a place where I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that my children were loved and cared for so deeply. As a parent, finding people you trust completely with your children is priceless, and saying goodbye to that was incredibly hard for me. Even though we've moved and all three of my children are now in school, Erika and Carlos are still such a meaningful part of their memories. They still talk about them and remember their time at Run & Fun so fondly. We haven't been back to the area yet, but they keep talking about wanting to see Erika and Carlos the next time we're in town. And one of the sweetest things is that Erika and Carlos still remember every birthday and they always call to wish my children a happy birthday. I cannot recommend Run & Fun highly enough. If you're looking for someone to care for your children, you aren't just choosing a daycare. You're choosing the people who will shape a meaningful part of their earliest years. We could not have asked for better people to be part of ours. I will always be grateful that our paths crossed with Erika and Carlos. Run & Fun will forever be a very special chapter in our family's story, and Erika and Carlos will always have a special place in our hearts.

    I've been with the daycare for over 7yrs. I couldn't possibly cover all the ways I'm grateful for…read morethem so I'll list a handful. First, they are the embodiment of dependability. Even through the pandemic, they only closed down once when Carlos tested positive for Covid. Outside of that, they were able to stay open the whole time. They are super cautious when it comes to really infectious stuff like hand foot and mouth disease, but they won't be calling you because of a runny nose and a simple cough. In the end it's really just a handful of families they work with who all have similar attitudes and priorities and that makes a huge difference. They are not just watching the kids. Erika takes great pains to ensure there are engaging and enriching activities for these young ones every single day. They talk to them in both English and Spanish but they don't force it. Every child picks up as much or as little as they want and their preferences are acknowledged and nurtured. My oldest is a math and science guy while the younger one is more of an athlete and a performer and they both loved their time here. Every parent I've talked to has something to say about the food. It's healthy, it's homemade and magically, they can get all the kids to eat their vegetables. You can literally give your child a glass of milk for dinner and that would be enough calories for the day. Finally, I can't guarantee some results, but my oldest was actually reading by the time he left for Kindergarten. I know some of it is down to nature, but it still takes amazing nurturing to bring out such remarkable results. Oh I almost forgot, Run and Fun is the best value for money you can find in Silicon Valley, I guarantee it!!!
