The teachers are very caring, generally speaking. If you're not Asian, you may be put off by the cultural piece. We know a couple of kindergarten girls who had a hard time adjusting to how strict the teachers were. While they are strict, they are also very loving and caring. Miss Jerri, the Director, is incredible. She truly cares about each kid that walks into that school. She honestly transforms this place every single holiday. When you are working parent, you don't have the time to decorate your house, so the magic is not really as alive as it could be. At Little Tree, it almost feels magical. For Thanksgiving, for instance, they host a feast for the kids. They also take photos of your kiddos, and send them to the parents during holidays. We had a couple of behavioral issues coming up, probably because the ratio of adult to kid isn't the best, but they were addressed immediately and with good communication. Our daughter does not speak Mandarin at home, but other people think that she is bilingual, based on how well she has learned Mandarin. She even did a solo during the performance! I highly recommend this place. We wish they could offer a pick up service from Oster, but they do offer a pick up service if your school is in the Campbell area. We are moving away, so are devastated that we won't continue at Little Tree, but highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mandarin afterschool program!

My son has already graduated from this elementary school, and my daughter will be graduating this year. Over all these years, we have been consistently happy and grateful for everything this school has given our family. It's never easy to trust others with the care, safety, and education of your children, but from the very beginning, this school made us feel confident and at peace. The teachers, staff, and entire team are incredibly kind, supportive, and dedicated. They genuinely care about the children, not just academically, but emotionally as well. We've watched our kids grow, learn, and thrive in a loving and respectful environment. The relationships built here will always mean a lot to us. We are so thankful for the years, the memories, and the amazing people who made this school such a special place for our family. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing and trustworthy environment for their children.

The school's dedication and genuine care have left an indelible mark on their early years of learning and personality development. It takes a village and you all are part of our village. Through your guidance in arts, music, theatre, socio-emotional learning, and academics, our child has flourished not just as a student but as a confident and compassionate individual. The skills and values our child has gained under your care will stay with him for a lifetime. Thank you for making these formative years so memorable and impactful. You have set the stage for a love of learning and creativity that will continue to grow. We are genuinely saddened that we can't enroll in our second one. All the teachers, staff and students will have a special place in our hearts forever. Very grateful that our paths crossed and will always cherish the role you've played in our child's journey.

Our son attended MAC from September 2024 - June 2025…read more Teachers: We started our son in the green classroom (18 month old start), and he had Ms. Saideh and Ms. Jackie. I really like Ms. Jackie since she is warm towards the kids and is open to giving them a nurturing presence. Ms. Saideh seems a bit colder. I remember during the tour, before my son attended, I asked Ms. Saideh her favorite part of her job , and she looked at me and said that her favorite part was when the students were not crying and instead, were behaving. She didn't smile or laugh, which to me, indicated that she wasn't joking. Her communication wasn't the best either. When there was a glitch in the sign in/out system or if I had forgotten to sign in, she would wave towards me and say "you didn't sign in! You forgot. You need to remember to sign in." I get her point, but saying it in that tone doesn't build good relationships with parents. Positive: I will say that in the midst of our time here, Ms. Biridiana was incredible. She was so kind and loving towards my son and I always felt relief whenever I saw her in the morning, because I knew my son would be in a loving environment under her care (she does the early morning care before 8:30 AM). She would ask me questions and show care for the parents. She and Ms. Jackie were the teachers and staff that really stood out to me. Tone at the top: there is no question that this school is structured quite well and organized quite well. Their calendar is meticulous and they are quick to send parents notifications of upcoming events as well. That said, the verbal communication style is different from ones I've had in the past. There is a certain amount of formality and professionalism, which can be helpful, but also there is an overall lack of warmth. For example, when I ask the Director, Ms. Svetlana how her vacation was, her response was curt, "Good. Yours?" She was responsive, yes. However, that sort of a curt response doesn't generate a feeling of community nor does it build relationships. Unfortunately, MAC does not emphasize social emotional learning, and it is very obvious on the playground next door. I actually have to hover over my child (2 year-old), because at least a handful of times, several students at MAC have pushed him on the playground (both intentionally and unintentionally). The other parents, instead of prompting them to apologize or leave the playground, instead, threaten their kids to leave and get upset with them, but end up staying at the playground. If you care at all about social emotional learning, this is definitely not the school for you or your child. Also: if your kiddo needs diaper cream or has sensitive skin, you will need a doctor's note for even aquaphor to be applied 1x. I asked the reason for their no diaper cream policy and their reason was that if they let us have aquaphor then it would be unfair to others. I still am baffled by this policy. They did cooperate by not giving my son citrus that may irritate his skin, but c'mon now - how harmful is aquaphor? I know other centers that have a one-time physician form that parents fill out that can include aquaphor or desitin, etc. When I was touring this place, Svetlana made it seem as though the waitlist was quite long. I asked if putting in a nonrefundable deposit and paying for the entire month of September when his start date would be September 23rd would help. She said it would. I made that choice because per the reviews it seemed as though this place was worth paying for the entire month of September when he started so late that month. I regret that choice now.

I didn't know anything about Bright Days and I'm so thankful that my family discovered this school. This unassuming, rather hidden, little community is located off Winchester near Hamilton. Director Mary is a truly caring and nurturing soul, and all of the teachers I've interacted with from teacher Kristi, Laura, Morgan, and so many others have each demonstrated that they truly care about each young student. This preschool is a community where parents, children, and staff all work together to create an inviting and nurturing environment. There are numerous opportunities to get involved.

Bright Days is an incredible preschool…read more My son attended Bright Days for his last year before kindergarten, and boy, what a wonderful experience he had! He spent the year riding scooters, making puddles and jumping in them, gardening, baking bread and muffins, building train tracks, racing cars, flying paper airplanes, playing in the mud kitchen and playhouse, singing, painting, and learning how to make friends and be a good friend. He would come home barefoot and covered in a thin film of dust, tired and happy. Just as it should be for a four year old. And, my son is also well-prepared for the academic aspects of kindergarten. Bright days taught the kids all about their numbers, letter sounds, and how to write their names and letters. But they did so in a playful, joyful way. There was never any drudgery to it. Last but not least, Bright Days is very parent-friendly. They don't have "minimum days" or a lot of days off other than normal school holidays. They are flexible with scheduling parent-teacher conferences. They make life easier for parents with flexible extended day options, have a flexible summer program, and are always available if you need to discuss something with them. Thank you for a wonderful year Bright Days! We will surely miss you.

The facilities are basically brand new since they moved here late 2024 and the outdoor play area is quite nice with a HUGE tree providing shade for the kids to play under. Their app is also quite useful as the teachers send a few photos each day and you can message with them quite easily. If I had to say something negative, it's the parking. As this location is in a more residential neighborhood, parking is a bit limited so pickups and drop offs can be a bit of a car shuffle.

In our house, we don't have any Chinese speakers, but we love the routine and school ethic at 7 Magic. It really builds a challenge for our son and teachers him another language. If you want your kid to be loved, cared for, and gently worn out by 6 p.m., this is the place.

From the moment we toured the facility while pregnant with our first child, we knew this was the right place for us. Our child has attended Nelly's since they were 10 months old, in the infant classroom and is now 2.5 years old in the preschool classroom. I was nervous to send my child at what I felt was such a young age, but now I know I would truly feel comfortable sending my child there at any age. The staff at Nelly's is the absolute best! I cannot speak highly enough of the director, or of the maestras and support staff. They are all equally amazing! My child loves all the maestras and knows each one by name. The way they love all of the students and treat them with kindness, respect, and excitement everyday is such a special thing to see. You can tell how much they care for their students and their wellbeing. I can comfortably go to work each day knowing my child is safe and well cared for, and that's everything you could want for your child when they are being taken care of elsewhere. The classrooms, play areas, meals, artwork, activities - it is all really fantastic. Our child has food allergies and some other health related situations and they have been so safe and cautious. The communication between the staff and parents is really wonderful too. They really have our child's best interest in mind at all times and it shows every day. My child has grown so much in every aspect - physically, mentally, emotionally. And although this is a bilingual daycare primarily focused on Spanish, our child's speech in both English and Spanish has improved immensely. The staff at Nelly's make each day so fun for the kids and they are always learning about new subjects. The staff plan wonderful outings to involve the families and students throughout the year and it's really nice as a working parent to have those moments with your child. The staff at Nelly's also made us feel so prepared and supported through the potty training process and now we are past that initial stage and our child is doing great. I will be so sad for the day we have to move on from Nelly's, but I'm so thankful that is still a ways out. I highly recommend this daycare/preschool in every way and would rate them a 10 out of 5 if I could.

Any concerns or questions which we ever addressed to them were always resolved. No matter what question we had, we always saw friendly staff which is open, ready to help, and resolve any situation in the best way. Academics are great, which is big deal for us. After OOS, kids attend highly selective high schools, and doing great at rigorous classes; which is again a great compliment to OOS teachers for good preparation. OOS does a great job at helping their 8th grade students with the high school admission process. The school community is wonderful, great families, many of which became our close friends. The classes are small, allowing each student to grow. There are always lots of opportunities for parents to be actively involved in school life, but it is not mandatory if your busy life does not allow you to do it. Highly recommended this school!

The classrooms are colorful and stimulating. The playground and classroom are always set up with a variety of activities. In the Tinytots and Kinderkids classes there is always a play-doh table that is stocked with homemade dough (colored and even sprinkled sometimes!). The class has a teacher, aide and parent helper in each class. Before we enrolled, we took the Parent Toddler classes that were held in the Tinytots classroom. It helped us both get comfortable with the room and how the format would work in preschool. Also, in the summers, many of the preschool staff work at the Campbell Community Center Summer Day camps so your child will see many familiar faces there as well. We hope to be at these camps well beyond our preschool years. I really can't say enough good things about this program. It is one of Campbell's treasures!
