We have been so fortunate to have Rupika as our daughter's first daycare teacher since she was just 10.5 months old. From day one, Rupika has been incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and nurturing. Our little one had specific dietary restrictions--no salt or sugar--and Rupika went above and beyond, preparing customized lunches just for her. As the youngest in the class with those dietary needs, it meant so much to us that Rupika took such extra care. What stands out even more is how she motivated our daughter to take her first steps, something we will forever be grateful for.

Rupika's Hide and Seek Daycare is truly one of the best home-based daycares in San Ramon. We enrolled our daughter when she was just 18 months old. Initially, there was no vacancy, so we had to place her at another daycare for a few months. But the moment a spot opened up at Rupika's, we made the switch without hesitation. Like every parent, we wanted the best and safest care for our child, and Rupika was our first choice. When we moved to San Ramon, my neighbor highly recommended her, mentioning that many kids from our lane had been cared for by Rupika over the years. What makes this daycare truly special is the warm, positive environment, the celebration of major festivals, and the cultural exposure through Hindi songs, bhajans, and mantras. On top of that, she provides nutritious, home-cooked meals, a huge plus for any parent. We felt incredibly happy and at peace knowing our daughter was in such loving and capable hands. She absolutely loves going there! I would wholeheartedly recommend Hide and Seek Daycare to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child. read more

We sent both our kids to Rupika's Hide n Seek Daycare, with our first one being the first child she had taken care of after starting Hide n Seek Daycare. As a parent to a newborn (and that too, the first baby), you can imagine how hard it is to decide whom to place your trust in to take care of your child. But from the moment we met Rupika, we felt comfortable that our child will be in competent and loving caring hands. In addition to providing nutritious and freshly-prepared meals every day, and ample play time as well as rest time, Rupika ensured the children also developed social and emotional skills, got exposed to arts and crafts, as well as the basics of Math and English. She worked wonders with our children in terms of making them follow instructions, interacting with other children, and we can see even now, several years later, how some of the basics she taught have lasted in our children. They continue to prefer Rupika Aunty's food over meals we make as well! She ensures children celebrate milestone days and both American and Indian heritage festivals, creating a healthy mix of multi-cultural development. We have never had a single issue with Rupika's daycare, for both our children, both of whom we put in her care from when they were 1 year old till they transitioned to elementary school. Her little graduation ceremony for the kids, not to talk of the birthdays etc, are full of love and care, and make for a momentous occasion. We would recommend Rupika's daycare in a heartbeat! read more

I could see tremendous improvement in my son (talking, socializing, general communication etc). We regularly receive photos, videos and get general in-person updates on my son every day (what he ate, etc). Overall, I feel confident and safe sending my son to Hide N Seek and know that he is in good hands. I would definitely recommend Hide N Seek day care to anyone who is interested. read more

As a parent, finding the right daycare for my daughter was a big concern, but from the moment we met Rupika in person and took a tour of her facility, I knew this is exactly what we want! My daughter stayed with her from ages 2-4 years and enjoyed her time there and we were extremely happy with the decision. Rupika is so kind, nurturing, and dedicated. She makes sure to create a safe, warm, and welcoming environment where children can thrive. The personalized care and attention my daughter received in the smaller setting helped her transition very well. She and her staff made sure that my daughter is well fed (with home cooked diverse nutritious meals) and also learn how to eat herself. This was a game changer for me that my kid learned independence early on! Rupika also made sure that my daughter enjoyed her time there - with toys, learning something new everyday, playing in her big backyard! She would also provide daily updates on my child's activities, nap time, meals and any fun moments during the day, which reassured me that my child is well taken care of and enjoying there. Overall, Rupika's daycare exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a daycare that offers personal care in a safe, homely setting, this is definitely the place! read more
