We enrolled our son at age one after a glowing referral from a friend, and he will stay there until he turns 32 months. While Ms. Li and Mr. Tian don't spend much time on "flashy" marketing or tours, the quality of their care is truly exceptional--it's a place that thrives on word-of-mouth. Why we recommend them: -Logistics for Busy Parents: The 8:30 AM - 6:30 PM hours are a lifesaver for corporate schedules, and having three nutritious meals provided daily took a huge weight off our shoulders. -Warmth & Education: Ms. Li and Mr. Tian are incredibly patient and balance the needs of infants and toddlers beautifully. Our son was singing, counting, and learning his ABCs well before age two. -Inclusive Environment: While most families are Mandarin-speaking, we've enjoyed seeing our son interact with children from other backgrounds. It's a welcoming community for everyone. -Parent Partnership: Ms. Li is wonderful about sharing insights into a child's character development, making us feel like true partners in our son's growth. Our son came home happy and well-fed every single day. We are so grateful for the love shown to him, and are already looking forward to sending our younger daughter there soon!

I don't even know where to begin with how impressed we are with this school!  First, there are Russian-speaking teachers but this is an international community with kids from different backgrounds. The school has an impressive academic schedule which offers a variety of classes, including extra classes if, like us, you wish for your child to focus a little more on a particular subject such as math or Russian language.  Second, their approach to learning is fun and innovative. They are constantly moving, singing, dancing, creating, and being taught to critically think. SCDC has an easy approach to learning. Information isn't forced onto kids rather, the teachers seamlessly engage kids with these fun activities that encourage them to problem solve and evolve. We were well impressed when Svetlana - who is an absolutely incredible teacher - was teaching them elements of physics (yes, you read that correct). In a fun, easy way Svetlana demonstrated to the class how an orange floats on water because of air in its peel and sinks without its peel. Natalia runs an incredibly impressive school. The staff is very professional, courteous, and attentive to each child. This is very clear when you drop off, pick up your kid. They are passionate and proud of what they do. It's a very transparent, safe, friendly environment. They also have an app, where if you like, they share with you your kids' daily activities and photos. For me, a mama always worried even when my babies are attached to me at the hip, this is really important.  There has been a noticeable improvement in our daughter's development and growth for the month or so that she spent going there. Our daughter really blossomed in that environment. We were even a little sad to go back home to our regular preschool because SCDC set the bar so high. Thank you to Natalia and the wonderful teachers and staff!

Our son started at Little Sunshine when he was 6 months old (now almost 2 years old) and choosing…read moreLSHD has been one of the best decisions we made as first time parents. We have considered moving out of Sunnyvale to be closer to our workplaces, but each time we go back to not wanting our son to change schools and wanting to be close to Little Sunshine if we have a second child. Here are my favorite things about LSHD: Loving and supportive environment - Cecilia, Yuri, Mari and Ana love and care for our son as if he was part of their own family. I was sad and nervous to leave my baby when my maternity leave ended, and knowing he was in a loving environment that was as close to being loved on at home was one of the only consolations. The team provides our son with homemade, delicious meals that he eats each day, despite barely eating anything we make at home. When he was a baby, they diligently followed our feeding requests and warmed breast milk brought from home and worked on introducing solids. Our son is very spirited and at times has had challenges sharing, taking turns, shouting etc. and they have worked with him on these skills with the utmost patience and support for his individual development. Cleanliness - Cecilia's home is incredibly clean and filled with colorful, engaging toys. I don't want to jinx it, but our son has also avoided any major illnesses commonly picked up at daycare and has not been sick constantly which we were very afraid of when starting child care. He also comes home clean every day, but on the weekends we probably go through two -three outfits a day! Not sure how they do it. Knowledgable - As other reviewers have stated, Cecilia is so empathetic and encouraging for first time parents. She will work through any concerns you may have for your child while carefully listening and offering gentle advice and reassurance. The staff has had over a decade of experience with so many children so it is invaluable to hear their perspective on any concerns you may have. Play based learning - I was not someone who was looking for an academic environment for my very young child and instead valued a loving and caring space for him to play and naturally learn. Our son has exceeded all my expectations for what he could know before the age of two. He can count and say his colors in English and Spanish, has learned about days of the week and the calendar, and can recognize individual letters and the sounds they make. Reliable and open communication - I think in 1.5 years there has been one single day of unplanned closure due to a power outage. They share their vacation schedule well in advance so you can appropriately plan. They share photos and text updates that make my day while at work. I highly recommend Little Sunshine Daycare for anyone looking for a safe, reliable, loving, nurturing and clean home environment for your child. Cecilia is truly passionate about early childhood education and care and I feel so lucky she provides this service to our community.

My husband and I still find ourselves saying from time to time, "How did we get so lucky finding this daycare?" We're incredibly grateful that our boys have been able to spend such an important part of their early childhood here. When we were choosing a daycare, the teachers were by far the most important factor for me. Amber, the director of Sunny Garden, has more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education. We really connect with her philosophy and the way she cares for and guides the children. It often feels like Sunny Garden is an extension of how we try to raise our kids at home. All of the teachers are incredibly loving and patient, and the teacher-to-child ratio is excellent -- we often see four teachers caring for around 12 children. I still remember our first tour: the kids were so comfortable, happy, energetic, and excited to interact with us. That immediately left a wonderful impression. Sunny Garden is also exceptionally organized for a family-based daycare. At the beginning of each month, parents receive the daily curriculum and meal menu for the entire month. They use Brightwheel for communication, photos, and payments, and there are indoor and outdoor cameras available for parents, which gave us extra peace of mind. Amber also puts so much effort into making childhood feel special. They have wonderful celebrations for holidays like Easter and Halloween, and whenever one of the children has a birthday, they make sure it feels like a real celebration. These may seem like little things, but as parents, we really appreciate how much thought and love goes into creating happy memories for the kids. And I HAVE to mention the food! They serve two freshly cooked hot meals every day, and the meals are nutritious, varied, and honestly impressive. Knowing that our kids are eating well -- while not having to pack meals every single day -- is such a huge bonus for working parents. Another huge highlight for our family is the weekly music class with Teacher Sean, whose classes are incredibly hard to get into around the Bay Area! Both of our boys absolutely adore him. We regularly get photos from music class where the kids are literally blurry because they're having so much fun moving and dancing. We feel so lucky that our boys have had such a wonderful teacher introduce them to music at such a young age and help them genuinely enjoy it. To us, a great daycare is so much more than simply having someone take care of your children while you're at work. We wanted a place where our boys would feel safe, loved, and truly cared for -- somewhere they could learn, play, grow, and genuinely look forward to going each day. Sunny Garden has been exactly that for our family. We've wanted to write this review for a long time to thank Amber and all of the wonderful teachers. We kept putting it off partly because we heard Sunny Garden already has a long waitlist and probably doesn't need our help getting the word out! But after having two children grow up here, we really wanted to share how grateful we are. We wholeheartedly recommend Sunny Garden to any family looking for a warm, loving daycare where the children are happy and the parents can truly feel at ease.

Love everything about this daycare. We sent our child here when he was 16 months old. He was so…read morelittle, so safety, high-quality care, and a nurturing environment were our top priorities when searching for a childcare facility. Sunny Garden Daycare checks all three boxes. Safety: The layout of the indoor space is open, without nooks or hidden areas. The backyard is exceptionally childproof, lined with artificial grass and spacious enough for older children to bike and roam, while still having areas separated for younger children. They also have surveillance cameras installed both indoors and outdoors, which brings peace of mind to everyone. High-quality care: The owner, Amber, used to be an RN, and her healthcare background really shines through in the way she creates and maintains a clean facility and establishes good hygiene practices for both staff and children. They have a professional cleaning crew deep-clean the entire facility every 1-2 weeks, and my boy learned to wash his hands before meals from a very young age. This may sound obvious, but handwashing is the foundation of personal hygiene and can easily be overlooked. Of course, these practices don't prevent kids from getting sick, but over the past two years he's been there, it honestly hasn't been as bad as what I've heard from others. I believe the hygiene, disinfecting, and cleaning protocols they consistently practice make a difference. Nurturing environment: This small daycare has been nourishing for my boy's heart, mind, and body: 1) He started there at 16 months old as a shy (almost a little timid) little boy, a keen observer who was more reserved with new experiences, a curious little learner who took everything in slowly but steadily, at his own pace. He used to be the only child who wouldn't wear the coat/cloth cover during watercolor class, the only one who stood on the sidelines watching the other kids jump on the bouncy house or play at the water table, or the only one who didn't wear the "party hats" at birthday parties (they host a birthday party for every child!). His teachers never forced him to participate in ways he wasn't ready for. Instead, they actively involved him while still giving him the space to decide how he wanted to engage. It's been amazing to see, through the photos posted on Brightwheel, their teacher-parent communication app (where they provide almost hourly updates every day), how he has become more and more engaged, comfortable, and confident over time. 2) Speaking of nurturing the little growing bodies, the owner has really invested in their meals. They serve hot lunch and dinner freshly made in their kitchen every day. Organic groceries and dairy are staples; they cook salmon for the kids almost every week. Sunny Garden Daycare has been a happy place for our boy. He looks forward to 'going to school' every day. What I didn't expect two years ago was, it's become more than a childcare place for our family. I've come to know many like-minded parents who've become our parenting buddies. It's been very special to watch our children play, grow, and become friends together, both inside and outside of school. Im so thankful we found this place for my boy (and for ourselves us parents!).
