I cannot say enough wonderful things about Little Star and the incredible teachers, Maria and…read moreJoana. As a mom, and as someone who has worked in child development for over 15 years, including nearly five years at Bing Nursery School at Stanford, where the most advanced, research-based approaches to early childhood development are practiced. I recognize excellence when I see it. Maria and Joana truly embody that same philosophy. Their approach is warm, affectionate, and thoughtfully child-centered. The environment is relaxed and nurturing, far from a rigid or overly structured setting. They beautifully incorporate Montessori principles along with the Bing philosophy that "playing is serious work." The children are constantly engaged in creative, hands-on learning, with plenty of STEM-based activities throughout the day. What also stands out is the level of communication and transparency. They share pictures and videos all day long, allowing parents to feel connected and reassured. It's clear the children are thriving. The meals are another highlight: incredibly healthy, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. My daughter, who used to struggle with food, is now excited to eat! The children sit together at a pleasant table and enjoy a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins everything is nutritious, creative, and appealing. Most importantly, the care they give is truly above and beyond. Every child feels seen, loved, and valued. My daughter literally counts the minutes to go back to her "Little Star family"and sometimes even cries when it's time to leave because she wants to keep playing. That says everything. We've seen such beautiful growth in her cognitive and emotional development in a short time. As parents, we couldn't feel more at peace or more grateful. If you have the opportunity, choose Little Star for your child. It is a truly special place.

This is the preschool that everyone wishes for their child. Creative, playful, routine,…read morestructured, inventive, friendly, caring, patient, skill-building, independence-building, optimistic, lots of outdoor time, age appropriate pre-academics, and wonderful class size, 12 kids with 1 teacher and 1 assistant. Blossoming minds was founded and is operated by Jill Wall former Las Madres president in Gilroy CA. She is wildly qualified as a certified elementary school teacher in California, having taught in schools for many years before founding Blossoming Minds. In addition, she has the experience of raising 3 amazing kids of her own. She has used all of this knowledge and training to build the PERFECT preschool. No matter what preschool philosophy you're looking for (Montessori/free-play/traditional/nature/Social Emotional Learning), you will find the best concepts from all interwoven into Ms. Jill's curriculum and activities. Most class days begin outdoors with free-play on the playground/sensory tables/big vehicles so that kids can workout their morning wiggles before they start the day. The kids may then work on a thematic play-doh project, building project, or skill-building activity. Next, I adore that there is a communal snack for the kids as it creates the environment of dinner party for 12 little friends. The day may culminate in an art project that brings out the theme of the week. There are new themes every week from autumn apples, winter ice fishing, Dr. Seuss week, Valentines loving friends and family, spring rainbows & blossoms in the garden, lucky leprechauns and so many more. Each month, Ms. Jill selects a few letters, shapes, and colors to incorporate into the themes and activities each day. While allowing for a lot of creativity, Ms. Jill sprinkles in pre-academics to many activities without the kids really recognizing that they're learning something new that will help them in the future. Raisins and cheese cubes at snack -- they might be building a fun pattern with them, jumbo push-pins dotting around a pumpkin print-- they're learning how to hold a pencil, communal snack -- they're learning how to be part of a group & share, planting silk flower stems in a pot -- textures of sand and holding a pen, sticker time -- we might be learning how to count, puzzle time -- we're learning spatial awareness, frequently practicing songs with phonics -- we're building skills to eventually read, songs with numbers that use our hands to count -- we're learning math and motor skills, making a reindeer out of play-doh -- we're building hand strength for future writing. I adore that there is so much imagination throughout the day but that the activities are organized and very well thought-out. Between the format and smaller class size, preschool descent into chaos is completely avoided. Children know what to expect, they know the routine, they relax, they feel safe, they build their social skills, and can really enjoy their day. Ms. Jill is so experienced, she has a real optimism and is seemingly ready for any kid-type that walks through her door. I highly recommend Blossoming Minds to anyone seeking a joyful and foundational start to their child's education. My review likely won't do Ms. Jill's preschool justice, but know that it is MAGIC!

There was ample opportunities for learning through creating or exploring. She had amazing sensory tables and crafts. The playground and outdoor facility was like no other option in our area. The academics were on point. She uses alpha friends (phonics program) which truly gave my kids a strong foundation for reading. If you're looking for somewhere for your 2, 3 or 4 year old- look no further. This was the very best place for our two boys to begin their education.

Through some of the ups & downs my daughter has encountered this past year the love and patience that Ms Jessica & the entire staff has shown to us has been phenomenal.

Grateful to Miss Anna, she accomadated my daughter when we urgently needed childcare. She is also knowleadgeable and observant, made me comfortable as a mom who was anxious to let go of my daughter. My family felt the assurance that my daughter would be safe and in good hands while she is busy learning, playing while socializing. My daughter is always excited to go to school. In the future, we will choose this school again for my younger daughter.

When I was looking into other schools, we would get rejections due to my daughter not being fully potty trained at the time. When I found One World, they were able to take her in.

One World will always hold a special place in my heart. For that, they deserve all the very best If you're ever looking for a school for your kids, I highly recommend One World. You will not regret it!

Not only are my kids learning a lot, but they are happy to attend each day. Some things I love about Elida is how caring she is with the kids, the healthy meals she cooks, and how she makes each child feel special. I feel at peace going to work knowing my children are in great hands. Bonus, my children are learning Spanish! I plan to enroll my kids in a dual immersion program once they're ready for kindergarten, so it's important to me they're being immersed in the Spanish language at a young age.

When our daughter was ready to potty train, Elida essentially did it all for us - all we had to do was support proper bathroom habits at home. She communicates and teaches the children in both English and Spanish, to help them build a good foundation. There is a lot of hands-on learning, assisting the children in writing, recognizing letters, and tracing to prepare them greatly for when they attend school. Both our daughter and son are constantly impressing us with just how much they are able to do - such as writing the alphabet, drawing, using scissors safely, and transitioning to cups. Elida also provides healthy home-cooked meals and snacks every day, where the children all eat together and practice utensil usage. The daycare room is set up much like a classroom, with tables and areas dedicated to learning. There is also an expansive backyard, filled with many safe toys for the children to utilize together. We are very happy with how much our children have learned and grown over the past year+ attending Elida's day care

From the minute we toured the school I knew it was the right fit for us & worth every penny. It's a very special place & I'm so very thankful we got to be a part of it. The teachers G had (Ms. Karla & Ms. Ashlyn) were terrific and always kept me in the loop daily how she was doing and were so quick to respond to any messages I had sent. Most importantly she LOVED going to school & learned so much. The classes are smaller so they get 100% hands on during their day to make sure they succeed and are ready for Kindergarten. The staff also uses an app in which they post pics, send communications and really give you a close feel of your child's day. Miss Jenny is a truly special person that runs the school. She does such an amazing job & really makes you feel like family and sees each child for the special little individual they are. Each celebration, concert, holiday, spaghetti feed etc. always felt like a great big family coming together.

My son who started attending when he was 2 was prepared for kindergarten thanks to creative play. Now my second son is in tk at creative play and has also been since he was 2. My son had a speach delay and it was Julie (the owner) whom brought it to my attention in a caring way and guided us to the process of finding the right speach therapist and thanks to her our now 5 year old is flourishing. He loves school! His teacher even came to watch one of his soccer games. (It's that kinda school). My son has made numerous friends and walks in every day holding his little school bag with confidence and looks forward to his day. My youngest son will attend this summer when he turns 2 as the summer programs are amazing they offer water day, food crafts, sports which is perfect for us working moms. Creative play is my village! I appreciate the love, support, kindness and gentleness they have with my sons. Julie and her staff take the time to make you feel like family. A few amazing things that I appreciate is they understand working parents schedules and offer extended care when other places do not. They also have class parties, spirit week, pumpkin patch field trips and the most adorable Christmas program! If you're looking for a caring, reliable preschool/tk creative play is it!!!
