Flora loves each kid as if they're her own. Everyday, Flora provides healthy meals and snacks that my daughter loves to eat. Flora was with my daughter at every milestone, from starting solids to eating by herself with a spoon. She helped work with me to potty train her too! My daughter always comes home singing new songs and reciting numbers and ABCs. I love that she has plenty of outdoors time and brings home new art projects from daycare. All the kids I've met at her daycare are respectful and polite. My daughter learned about taking turns at daycare and plays well with the other kids. She constantly talks about her daycare friends. I highly recommend Flora's if you're looking for a loving, stable, and fun environment for the kids!

When we first started looking for a daycare in Alameda in December 2022, we realized we had waited…read moretoo long to start looking for a daycare given how many kids are in Alameda and how few daycares there are. When we met Julie for the first time to see the facility (on a Friday night), our Daughter smiled at her and we could tell right away that they would go along. So much so, that we went back on a Sunday to officially sign up with Julie. It has now been several months since we've been going to Julie and we are extremely fortunate and lucky to have Julie care for our Daughter. On a daily basis, we show up to Julie and our Daughter is super excited and happy to see Julie (she even waves to her). When we leave, our Daughter is then super sad and unhappy to leave since she is having a great time at Daycare. This is a great feeling as a parent. On a final note, Julie goes out of her way to teach our Daughter things like clapping and waving as well. She now even understands some words in Mandarin/Cantonese as Julie is fluent which is an added bonus. Long story short, we could not recommend Julie any more and are super grateful for the care that she provides our Daughter. I'd go out there and say this is the best daycare in Alameda!

I can't believe how lucky we are to have found Julie's daycare! Before Julie, we struggled for…read moremonths to find the right caregiver for our son. Julie and her husband are both incredibly patient, composed and confident caregivers. They've created a safe, clean space for the kids to explore and develop. For an active kid like our son, we appreciate there's also a spacious private outdoor play area. Finally, we love that Julie prepares healthy snacks and home-cooked lunches each day for the kids. Our son is always happy and excited for daycare, and that's a testament to the quality of care Julie and her husband provide. We can't recommend Julie's daycare enough.

Parking is a bit rough but it is to be expected given residential area and busy intersection.

This review for Samace Daycare is long overdue. We have been with Tita Josie and Papu (her husband)…read moresince moving to Alameda (5 years). Our boys started with her from 6 months and continued till they started TK/Kindergarten. As an in home licensed daycare, it provides high quality childcare with a sense of family. My boys have been loved on by Tita Josie, Papu, her daughter Sam and her three sweet and beautiful granddaughters. There is a wide range of pick up drop off times that are helpful for working parents. The food served is delicious and hard to live up to at home. Particularly Tita Josie's fried rice which are my sons favorite. The kids get to play outside and have plenty of choices of activities inside as well. What amazed me most was when I visited as a first time mom was how Tita Josie was able to talk with the kids and discipline without yelling. I believe a fight broke out over toys and she calmly told all the children to sit down and they listened. All the kids from toddler to school aged (it was summer) went and sat down obediently. I recommend her to anyone looking for daycare in Alameda. Your babe will be well cared for. Tita Josie and family, thank you for everything you have done for our family. We would not have been able to have two working parents and care for three boys under two without all your help. I cannot say enough good things or sing enough praises for the support you have given our family.

We've been sending our baby to Julia's Family Daycare since he was 6 months old, and we couldn't be…read moremore thrilled. Every morning at drop-off, he lights up with a big smile when he sees Julia and the caregivers--a clear sign of the warmth, attention, and care he receives each day. One of the things we appreciate most as parents is how impeccably clean the facility is--it's truly spotless. It's also clear that Julia and her team are deeply invested in each child's learning and development. Since starting daycare, our son has made noticeable progress with both his fine and gross motor skills, and we credit that growth to Julia's attentiveness and thoughtful engagement. Another standout aspect is the nutritious, home-cooked meals provided daily for lunch and snack time. Our son has had the opportunity to try a wide variety of foods and textures, which we love. We wholeheartedly recommend Julia's to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching environment for their little one.

You can tell everyone there really cares about the kids and my daughter has grown so much during her time there thanks to their love and support. She is genuinely excited to go every day - her first week, we had to put a timer on to count down to when we could leave the house because she woke up early and wanted to go right away! She has learned so much (including many Chinese songs that she loves to sing to us at home) and really loves all the staff there. I'm so grateful we found them. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming, and attentive place for your little one to grow, Julia's is the best!

I can't say enough wonderful things about this Mandarin immersion daycare! All four of my kids have…read moreattended here over the years, starting from when they were infants, and it's truly been one of the best childcare experiences we've ever had. Teacher Rebecca and her wonderful assistants made us feel completely at ease. As any parent knows, it's hard to leave your baby in someone else's care -- but I quickly realized how lucky we were to have found this place. They are so warm, patient, and genuinely caring. They know each child so well and cater to their individual personalities. The program is such a great mix of Mandarin language exposure, play, and learning. My kids picked up so much Mandarin naturally through songs, stories, and daily routines. The teachers make learning fun and meaningful, and the kids truly love being there. My daughter transitioned to TK recently and had a hard time leaving Bay Farm Happy Bees. The daycare itself is clean, organized. The outdoor play area is huge -- with play cars, little houses, play kitchens, and lots of open space for the kids to run around and use their imaginations. Meals and snacks are healthy and home-cooked, which is such a plus. My kids always tell me about what they had for lunch and how yummy it was! Communication is great--we get regular updates about what the kids did, ate, and how they slept, plus photos and videos that absolutely make my day. It's so nice to see them smiling and having fun while at daycare. They also take the children on regular little outings to the nearby park and library, which gives them a chance to explore and learn outside the daycare, too. My daughter loved the circle reading time at the library! Most importantly, I've always had total peace of mind knowing my children are safe, loved, and cared for. That's something you just can't put a price on. Teacher Rebecca has become like family to us, and I'm so grateful for all the love and effort she's poured into helping my kids grow. If you're looking for a warm, safe, and enriching Mandarin immersion daycare with a very experienced childcare provider, where your child will be happy and thrive -- this is it.

The daycare is always clean and well kept and the assistant ms Thelma is really amazing with the kids. The owners Keishna and Eugene are great with communication regarding days daycare is closed. The environment is safe and there are many activities indoors and outdoors for the kids to play and burn energy. Overall an amazing establishment. They really work with you here. Would highly recommend.

Until then, he had only ever been cared for by his dad, grandmother, and me - no babysitters or nannies - so being away from us was a big adjustment. From the very beginning, the team at SquareCare was incredibly understanding and supportive. Mitzy created a thoughtful transition plan that truly set my son up for success. At first, I was able to stay with him at school so he could get comfortable with the new environment and teachers. Then, we gradually increased the time he spent there alone. Finally, once we all felt confident that he was happy and secure, he began napping at school as well. Now, my son loves school and attends full days three times a week. Mitzy, Yessi, and Tiara are so patient and genuinely invested in his success. We're all so proud of his progress and growth. I highly recommend this program! The teachers are not only caring and wonderful with the children, but the environment is exceptionally clean and inviting. Plus, there's a bunny and chickens--such a fun and unique touch that the kids absolutely love!

The whole space is lovely, and is somehow exciting and calming at the same time - very much in keeping with Mitzy's own way of being. All of the maestras are warm, caring, and communicative, and have supported my child through many things, including potty training and the death of a pet. They are also great at supporting social and emotional learning. The kids have lots of time for unstructured play but also plenty to do each day - all kinds of activities including arts and crafts, sensory play, gardening, special birthday celebrations and holiday-related activities. At the end of the day, the kids are thrilled to see their parents, but none of them seem to want to go home, and I always want to linger in the backyard for a while, too. Highly recommend this program.
