Words are not sufficient to explain how wonderful Miha is. She is patient, kind, and attentive to each child and considerate to everyone's specific needs. The children have so much fun and blossom under Miha's care. Not only is Miha a wonderful teacher to the students, but her teachings influence their behavior outside of the classroom as well and makes our lives so much easier. All 3 of my kids had easy & smooth potty training experiences because of Miha's consistent guidance. I emulated a lot of the firm & gentle parenting practices that Miha implements at school, and I saw first hand how much my kids thrived in this environment. At school, the children do many academic learning & hands on craft activities. Not only were my 2 older kids prepared academically to enter Kindergarten, but socially as well. One of the best things about Roly Poly is the mixed-age small group setting. Each of my kids entered the school as the youngest (18 months - 2 years) and learned so much from the older children. Then as they grew older, they matured and transitioned into a responsible/leadership role and took care of and guided the younger children. It was amazing to see each child evolve! I am forever thankful that we found Roly Poly and were able to have our children in a safe and caring environment with a trustworthy teacher like Miha. I will be sad once my youngest graduates from Roly Poly, but I know that their preschool experience has set my children up for happiness & success!

We have two girls and we tried many day cares but I have to tell you that roly-poly daycare is our favorite. Miha is loving caring and attends to your child's needs. She will inform you of their progress through the day and if there's any concern she would address it. Roly-poly preschool is structured between activities and age appropriate academics. Your child will learn social skills, colors, letters and drawing. Both our daughters loves it there!! Thank you Miha for everything that you do and everything that you are!

Every teacher instantly knew my son's name, which made us feel so welcomed and showed how attentive and dedicated the staff truly are. The director is wonderful--professional, caring, and clearly passionate about creating a great environment for the kids.

I get updates and photos throughout the day on how my son is doing, and I love that he's always doing somehing engaging and fun. They keep the children busy, engaged, and constantly learning. Since starting here, my son has grown by leaps and bounds both socially and academically. They are a performance arts-based program, so they do lots of music and dancing which my son absolutely loves. We're so grateful to have found a place where he is happy, supported, and thriving. Highly recommended!

They are very warm but also good at teaching and my son has grown up and learned so much with them. He went from zero mandarin to being pretty fluent. He's also become more responsible from learning from the teachers and the Montessori environment. It's mixed ages and he's an older kid in the class so I wish he has more older kids to play with, but I also appreciate that this helped him be a good big brother to his little sister and how to be a leader. I also appreciate that the teachers are much more modern and have a broader perspective. My old school Chinese teachers I had growing up were either too strict or had much the do or because I said so approach versus explaining things so kids can actually learn. I really appreciate that MBL are all about teaching the kids with logic and openness. With the parents, the teachers were always very responsive over text and very helpful in the parent teacher conferences. Also as a busy working parent, I really appreciate that they provide lunch as part of the tuition fee, so all we had to pack was a water bottle. Any cons? It's a home based daycare so it's not a fancy big school facility. (I think reading books about going to school initially got my kid all hyped about a fancy big playground and school campus). But they keep it very clean and for the time was there my son never got Covid from the school, there was never a Covid closure, and he rarely got sick (maybe 2x over 2 years). I think this was s both because they do a good job cleaning and because of the small class size and high teacher to student ratio.

Update on my prior review: We love this daycare and HIGHLY…read morerecommend. Our daughter has been here from age 4 months (one of the youngest babies) to now almost 4 years old. We are only leaving because we want to start preschool. The whole time, even through the challenging time of COVID, this daycare has been excellent. The teachers are thoughtful, loving, and great teachers. They really got her on a easy schedule of naps throughout her life - first two naps and now down to 1 nap or just 'resting'. They cook lunch for her each day! One thing we really appreciated as two working adults - the daycare never had to close unexpectedly because there are multiple teachers. I want to emphasize that this was true even during COVID. Our daughter has developed into a polite, curious girl, interested in nature and books, mostly potty trained (still the occasional accident), and most amazingly of all - can speak Chinese. We really could not have asked for more. I think this daycare is above and beyond and we will certainly send our next child there.

Both of my kids attended Parkside Day School, one being there for 1 year and the other being there…read morefor 2.5 years. We recently decided to make a switch in schools as this place was no longer the right fit for our needs, but overall, had a generally positive experience with the school during our tenure here. Positives: * Ms. Tina from the toddler class is amazing. There is no better Head Teacher to work with kids that are entering preschool for the first time, dealing with separation anxiety and lots of big emotions, and also having to learn how to potty train at the same time. Both of my kids loved her and you can tell that she genuinely cares about the children. * The classrooms here are big and well maintained. * The playground is big with lots of equipment for the kids to interact with. * There are plenty of organized parent volunteer events or offsite field trips. * All meals/snacks are included as part of tuition. * You get tons of pictures throughout the day of your little ones. Cons: * The teachers speak little to no English. If you don't speak Mandarin or Cantonese, you have to rely solely on the Assistant Director to translate for you. And things get lost in translation when you are not communicating directly with the teachers that are the ones watching your kids ever day. * As the staff are all Chinese, the cultural philosophies of how kids are cared for lean very much toward an Eastern approach. Many of the kids that attend the school are also from a Chinese background so in general, this can be a good match, but if you identify more with a Western philosophy, as we do, then the values and philosophies don't always align. * There were many teacher changes during our time there, especially in the Rainbow Class, with new teachers and new faces showing up with no communication from the school in who these people were. * Price - you are paying an arm and a leg to send your kid(s) here, especially when you consider the amount of holidays/school closure days there are and having to drop off later than 8:30 and pick up before 4 (unless you pay extra for extended care hours). * Class size - they advertise the class ratios as 1:8, which is reasonable and normal. However, there are actually 4 teachers assigned to each class, meaning you can have up to 32 kids in a class. Having 32 3-5 year olds together at once can be very overwhelming. The reason we pulled our kids out is a mixture of the cons above, but primarily, there was a severe drop in the ball from the staff in communicating some important information about our son to us in a timely manner. This was already unacceptable on its own, but in addition, by the time we were notified of what had been going on, changes in our son's school plan were already being actioned without our input or consent. This led to us losing faith that this school was the best fit for our child's needs. While this was our unfortunate experience, others may very well have a positive experience here, so take my review with a grain of salt. But I do think that the ability to speak the language and/or have an alignment with the Eastern philosophy of how to raise kids will be a major determining factor in the type of experience you have here. We were fortunate to find another academic institution that is much better aligned with our values and philosophies and have a more nurturing environment that meets both of our kids' needs. Our kids are currently thriving in their new school and while I wish our experience at Parkside could have ended differently, I'm grateful for the time that we spent there and for the good times that we did have.

She absolutely loved her classmates and teachers -- especially Miss Tina, who is incredibly thoughtful and treats every child with so much care and love. The teacher-to-student ratio is excellent, which gave us great peace of mind. We received tons of photos showing the kids enjoying circle time, making crafts, and learning letters. They host fun events like pajama night, and the facilities are among the best we've seen in South San Francisco. The classrooms are bright, spacious, and even larger than some entire daycares we toured -- both Chinese immersion and English-speaking ones. As we say goodbye, I just want to share our experience and give this school the review it deserves.

When we were finally able to potty train her, we sent her to WPWL and the experience was GREAT! I seriously cannot recommend them enough. My oldest is at TK now and she has blossomed. The teachers are all so nice and caring, the first day for my daughter was rough but Teacher Lisa was there instantly to help soothe her. She was a little shy for a bit but Teacher Jeovanka and Teacher Rebecca really worked to help her play and socialize with other kids. They also knew how to read her emotions and allow her time to spend with the adults on days where maybe she was struggling. My daughter was there for one year and it made an immense difference. We still get to see the teachers from time to time around the area and they still remember us and our daughter. We now have an 8 month old and I cannot wait to get her into their Early Learners program. In all honesty, I was very nervous about sending my daughter to school, I think change is just hard. But they were sure to send photos on their app and they made me feel very secure with her. Their graduation ceremony was also super adorable. They had toddler sized cap and gowns with "diplomas". They also gifted them a pencil box that was completely full of pencils, markers, pencil sharpener, erasers. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place. In my experience, I really feel like they were trustworthy and genuinely cared for their students.

I'm so glad we did! The teachers are wonderful and kind and really get to know your child. I loved getting pictures everyday through the brightwheel app. Weeks are themed like space, or family, or summer. There's a sizeable outdoor space for playing where they went outside multiple times a day. They make food for your child if you pay a few more bucks; breakfast, lunch and snack time. The facility is very clean. They have a few fun field trips throughout the year. They do a few special holiday events parents are invited to like an Easter egg hunt and a winter pageant. They have a few people come talk at the school about a few different professions. They do some special classes throughout the year like music classes or yoga. My son loved it. We loved it. In retrospect I'm glad we sent him to a bigger facility because he got to know so many people and friends throughout the years. It was good for his social development. Also they went all out for his graduation. Y'all did so much work. Love you guys! Will definitely send my next one.

My child has thrived and flourished in this positive regimented environment.

All the teachers have been nothing but amazing, responsive, caring, and kind. Her main teachers Ms. Alisa, Ms. Wendy, Ms. Emma, and Ms. Colleen have taught and established a great foundation in her education. I love that their curriculum isn't only educational based but also play based with encouragement of independence. My daughter learned a lot of daily tasks that I was caught off guard with a pleasant surprise. She's able to put on her own shoes correctly, put on her clothes, cut fruit safely, and help me bake when cracking eggs into the bowl- without any shells!!. And she always says "teacher taught me this". To Ms. Alisa, Emma, Wendy, and Colleen. I am beyond grateful for everything you have done for my daughter. Ms Alisa is one of the most thoughtful, patient, and caring teachers I have ever met. She always sent us the weekly curriculum, helped us prepare at home for the weekly show and tell, and would give me updates on my daughter's learning and how my husband and i can help her grow in the home setting. I was very nervous as we transitioned her to TK, but her main teacher ,Ms. Alisa, has done a tremendous job ensuring her transition to TK will give her confidence and bravery. You can tell Ms. Alisa is so passionate about her job with how much patience she has with all the kids. She always made sure to listen to each kid, bending down to eye level and giving them her full attention. I hope these teachers will stay in LACC for a long time because they have truly helped me raise my daughter to become such a well rounded little person- and the next kid will be lucky to have them too! They have changed our lives for the better. If I could keep my daughter here forever, I WOULD! I am so sad that my daughter is going on to the big school, but I am forever lucky to have LACC to help support and teach my kid everything. From education, to household responsibilities, learning about different cultures in different languages , and best of all becoming a good human being and treating others with kindness. The administrator and owners of LACC have been wonderful to work alongside. They were very transparent and always efficient with communication and running the annual programs such as their Christmas shows! Ms. Ping and Mr. O were always warm hearted and easy to talk to if i needed anything. I will miss them dearly! Thank you LACC for everything .

We had been at…read moreanother preschool before this and left because we were frustrated by the lack of communication and lack of flexibility from the staff in working with parents to support and nurture kids' individual personalities. At St. Andrews, our experience was completely the opposite. The teachers were always proactive in communicating with us, both the good and not so good, and were always open to trying new things or discussing ways we could partner together to best support the kids and teach them the right skills. While all the staff members get to interact with all the kids at some point, there are assigned teachers to each class that get to know your child very well. I can't say enough good things about Ms. Jackie and Ms. Erin - they are both nurturing yet assertive with the kids and build a very supportive and safe environment for the kids to thrive. Ms. Marisol was amazing throughout our time here. She is always responsive to any questions and invested her time in creating not just a strong school environment, but also a welcoming community environment for the parents. There are several events held throughout the year to invite the families to spend time at the school to have fun with their kids but also get to know other families. In addition to the quality of the education, staff, and experience that you receive here, the facilities here are also big, clean, and well maintained. Making a decision about who will be watching your child during the week is a big one, and I would highly recommend St. Andrew's.

Haha…read more We just visited an open house today and absolutely fell in love with the warmth, cleanliness, safety and teaching styles of this Pre-K. We met with Maestra Julie who was super sweet and warm. I inquired just this week and was happy to get in as soon as I did as I feel this place is just going to have a waiting list soon enough! They currently have 3 teachers and growing with a mix of educational backgrounds and mixed styles including Montessori and Reggio Emilia. My husband and I were debating what our daughter would enjoy while continuing to build her Spanish vocabulary. And are excited to send her to an art based program with some great educational influences as she loves art and learning. My daughter was immediately occupied with the endless amount of fun arts and crafts everywhere. Once we walked in I was hit with that grammar school smell from St. Paul's I remember growing up. Which took me back. Haha The location is close to home and fees are comparable to other schools in the area. However I noticed Spanish immersion is needed in the area and is lacking. So happy this place opened in time for my daughter to start her education journey. I love the monthly agenda they provide with themes for each month to keep the curriculum updated with different vocabulary and events. On the flip side it wasn't easy getting my child to leave as she felt right at home. Which made our decision a little easier. We have been to a bunch of open houses and this place just made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing my daughter loved it. Needless to say she in enrolled in 2020. If you would like after our tour Maestra Julie invited us to visit and get familiarized with the school and teachers on Halloween! I am looking forward to seeing a day in action. Though I imagine it will be chaotic I am excited to be invited! If you are looking for something similar I highly recommended you check out one of their open houses.
