I'm so happy with our experience at Kiddie Academy of Oakley! My 2.5-year-old son is thriving…read morethanks to the incredible care he's receiving from Ms. Jay and Ms. Odallis. Both teachers are nurturing, empathetic, and truly invested in his well-being, which has made his transition so much smoother. While he's still working on self-feeding and engaging in group activities, I feel completely confident that with their support, he'll catch up soon. The teachers are patient and attentive, and I know they'll continue to help him develop at his own pace. I'm grateful for the positive and caring environment they've created for my little one! Its been 3 weeks only but a good 3 weeks, knock-on the wood. I will be soon back with updates when he starts enjoying the meal time and class activities with their support.

Would give more stars if I could!…read more My son has been going to Kiddie Academy since 2020, and we've had a wonderful experience. One of the biggest reasons is the excellent learning curriculum, the care and attentiveness of the teachers and staff, and the fact that both my kids love going there, learn so much, and truly enjoy their time. We always feel that they're safe and well cared for. My son is especially fond of Miss Alina -- she's been so kind, caring, and supportive throughout his time there. When it was time for him to leave for kindergarten, he was genuinely sad because Miss Alina was his favorite. Kiddie Academy has been a consistent, nurturing place for my family, and I'm so grateful for the amazing staff who make it feel like a second home. Highly recommend!

My son used to attend another daycare in Mountain View, which we all absolutely loved, but we had…read moreto leave due to relocating. He started at Kiddie Academy Brentwood when he turned four and attended for about five months. His teacher was Ms. Alaina. Pros * You need your own login to enter the school. * All food is provided (though it's not exactly "free," considering we were paying almost $100 a day). * At drop-off, all the teachers would always say good morning to my son. I honestly wished one of those teachers had been his teacher. * My son loved playing with his friends and formed very close bonds with a few of the kids. * He learned how to write most letters and started learning addition. Cons * My son often seemed sad in the mornings when I helped him put his shoes on. He asked for "only easy shoes" because during nap time, they take their shoes off, and Ms. Alaina would refuse to help him put them back on. My son words were "Ms. Alaina said to put them on myself and doesn't want to help me". What parent would have enjoyed listening to that? So then I asked him more questions about this and he said his friend would help him put his shoes on. This made me want to cry because how sweet of his friend to try to help. From there on out, my son only took "easy shoes" (shoes with no shoelaces). Another time, I picked him up and his shoelaces were completely untied. He was literally dragging his feet. I asked the teacher to help him next time, and she said she hadn't noticed. It's hard to believe a child dragging his feet could go unnoticed. * They have a parent app, but the teacher wouldn't update it until the end of the day, which defeated the purpose of wanting updates while I was away at work. * Ms. Alaina had Trump stickers all over her water bottle. (I guess this might be a pro for Trump supporters.) Regardless of political affiliation, a teacher should never display political messaging in the classroom. One time, my son saw a picture of Trump and said with excitement, "It's the guy from school." Why are they talking about Trump at school? * At pick-up, Ms. Alaina never gave me updates on how my son's day went. His previous school always did, so maybe it's just not standard practice here? * One time I picked him up and he had red all over his face. I panicked, thinking it was a nosebleed, but Ms. Alaina said it was frosting from cupcakes they had during snack time. Snack time is at 3pm and I picked him up at 5pm, you would've thought between those two hours she could've told him to go wipe his face. It's literally common sense to wipe a child's messy face. * The classroom had a 1:12 teacher-to-student ratio. For the amount of money parents are paying, I feel that the school could have added another teacher. I guess that helps explain why Ms. Alaina wasn't as attentive as I had hoped. * Again, Ms. Alaina being a Trump supporter. Imagine supporting a president who has openly discussed dismantling parts of the education system while working as a teacher? Make it make sense. Overall, these are the reasons why I feel this school deserves only two stars. Maybe it would have been more if my son's teacher had been kinder and more nurturing.

I love it so much I decided to work for them! Also with that being said registration, classes and events are all free so you really just can't go wrong. However, it is specifically for kids 0-5, their siblings are welcome to come along too I do believe, don't quote me on that I'm not 100%, I let siblings sit in on my classes if there's room. It's like children's fairyland in Oakland must be accompanied by a child lol (I meant that to be a tad funny it's not entirely accurate. Also if you haven't been to fairyland yet, and you have youngsters, it is a MUST try kinda like first five. Okay I know I sound like I'm advertising but I seriously love this establishment THAT much

The Baby Signs class with Marcela has allowed us to communicate better with our toddler. Marcela makes the class entertaining and the toddles enjoy it. Baby signs has given our family a new non-verbal communication skill that has allowed us to communicate with our child during her verbal learning phase. The Terrific Toddlers class with Rhea emphasizes various skills from basic processes to activity based projects that are fun and educational for the whole family. Kids get to work on their social skills in an environment that is safe, educational, and ran by an amazing group of employees. Come check them out and don't forget your child.

Love this ballet school for my 7 year old! This is my daughter's second Tutu school. She started at…read morethe Brentwood one 2 years ago after we moved here. All of the Tutu schools are decorated whimsically, with a chandelier and ballet dresses on the wall, to give your little ones that wonderful princess feel. Also, there are 2 recitals on stage per year. They are fun events, nothing too stressful for our little ones. Yes, they teach the ballet moves (pique, rond de jambe, etc) and the older kids use the barre. However, one of things I like the most is that Tutu also emphasizes fun. The music is recognizable instrumental versions of Disney songs. They read stories. Some lessons are like games. They don't turn off little ones to ballet by being those stereotypical strict ballet teachers. Also, the Brentwood Tutu hold free fun events throughout the year, like short ballet performances from the local ballet companies or arts and crafts events for the holidays. My daughter's teacher right now is Miss Kennedy and she's wonderful! She's strict enough to enable the girls listen to her, but she's mostly fun and cheerful. Definitely recommend this dance school!

There are options for different age groups, so you can get something developmentally appropriate for your kids. Also, the prices are amazing! Saturdays (during the farmer's market) are especially good for visiting the store, as there aren't classes going then, but you can stop in whenever!
