    My daughter was born prematurely at 2 lbs. 8 oz. with her lung issues and we had to keep her at…read morehome in a very sheltered environment, and that too with just me(her mom) and grandma. By the time she was allowed to go to daycare she was 20 months old and exhibiting signs of anxiety. I visited perhaps 12 different daycares with my daughter at that age, and I called 20 daycares from Hercules to Oakland. HG learning academy was the single and only daycare I felt comfortable enough to leave my daughter with. Nyisha was kind enough to allow me to spend 2 half days at her daycare with my daughter (Eva) so that Eva could relax and see that it was a fun place without being worried that mommy wasn't there. I also was able to tell my daughter, "this is your teacher and you can go to her for anything." That worked splendidly. Plus They even have an emotional support dog. And that helped with the transition as well. Now she's 2 1/2 and has grown so much emotionally! HG Academy is a part of my daughter's family now. Nyisha team is not only the sigle most loving, caring and attentive daycare staff I know but also Extremely well trained in child development. They were able to keep on top of my daughter's motor skills, cognitive abilities, social skills and so much more. They track these things and work with their kids on these areas, as well as learning! My daughter knows all her numbers, all her colors, the alphabet, HG Academy has helped potty train her and she is now potty trained, and there's so much more that I don't even have time to write it all down. HG Academy organizes field trips to places like farms, the California Science Academy (parents come with), they have extended hours weekly, and on the weekend and they have the best enrichments I have ever seen. My daughter has music class on one day, jump bunch which is a physical education class on another day, and Spanish class on yet another day. And they are thinking of adding French! My daughter has also learned how to paint, has done proper projects, 2 days a week, she does schoolwork type of exercises to develop learning. This may be a home daycare, but in my opinion it tops Montessori any day and mind you my family has 2 good friends in the daycare business. HG Academy has curriculum for up to 6 years of age and I'll tell you if I move away before my baby is 6, I will miss them all so much! Finally, I would like to add that the establishment uses positive parenting which in my opinion most daycares say they do but do not use. The kids are also a diverse bunch and Nyisha prides herself on making surre every culture and every child is respected and their diversity celebrated! Nyisha gets 5 stars but she deserves 10. She is up at the crack of dawn and works 24/7 for these kids!

The students love the yummy healthy meals and ask for seconds! My daughter has been excelling academically and knows her letters, shapes, colors and numbers. She wakes up in the morning and says "Go to school". She looks forward to seeing her friends and educators in the loving and supportive program. I highly recommend Ms. Nyiesha and her team!

    Our experience with Little Tree has been very positive. We starting sending our two kids here when…read morethey were 18 months and 2 years old. The teachers and staff genuinely care about their development, keep communication open and proactive, and are always receptive to parent feedback or questions. The school environment is warm and welcoming, with friendly kids and engaging activities that keep our little ones excited to learn. We've seen a tremendous amount of growth and confidence in both of our children since they started and Little Tree does a great job keeping it fun for them. If you're looking for a nurturing, engaging, and supportive preschool, I highly recommend Little Tree.

    Stay away from little tree unless you want to get kicked out with only a weeks notice. Our…read moreexperience with Little Tree was extremely disappointing. Our 21-month-old daughter attended the program for only about 10 days in the toddler program that is intended for 18 months and older. She was also absent for an entire week due to a fever,so basically 5 days on, 5 days off, then 5 days on. She had very limited time to adjust to a brand-new environment, teachers, routines, and expectations. The behaviors described to us were that she is very active and curious, sometimes puts objects in her mouth, and may quickly move away from the group. The school itself acknowledged in writing that these behaviors can be common at her age. What was most concerning to us was how quickly this determination was made. At only 21 months old and after approximately 10 days of actual attendance, we did not feel she was given an adequate opportunity to adjust to the classroom environment. We also would have appreciated more collaboration with us regarding strategies that could have been tried before the decision was made to end her enrollment. Everyday after pick up we got nothing but good feedback from teachers. Then one day a email saying her last day is in a week. Again stay clear away from little tree if you have a baby who loves to explore their environment and have fun. This center should have never been approved for a 18 month toddler program. Evidently they are not equipped to handle young toddlers.

    I'm returning after ten years to share my experience with my three children loved and supported by…read more1, 2, 3 Learn With Me. When I wrote previously, my first born had been with Valeria and Karen for a year, and he was absolutely thriving. Over the many years since, Valeria, Freddy, and all the supportive teachers at 1, 2, 3 have made an enormous difference in the lives of my three sons. Early childhood is such an important season of development, when children begin to learn how to relate to others, develop confidence, and make sense of the world around them. I truly believe the loving, nurturing environment at 1, 2, 3 has helped shape my children in beautiful ways. They have become kind, empathetic, curious, responsible, and respectful, and I credit so much of that to the incredible teachers who have loved and guided them along the way. We continue to be in community with 1, 2, 3 teachers, and I'm so grateful to know them.

My son was also diagnosed with Level 1 Autism at…read morearound at age 3 and we were in search to find a day care who was not only willing but capable to handle my son's needs. 123 was the perfect to place for him. From the first interview, I knew i could trust Nona and Nono. Unlike other places that would let my son do whatever, they provided a learning structure for him that was fun and inclusive. They were very patient in communicating with him and teaching him how to verbalize his needs. It is also quite impressive how they were able to set boundaries to teach him about discipline. By the way, I think Nona makes the best healthy meals for the kids.Til this day i still struggle to have him eat beans, veggies and fruits that for some reason he would happily eat there. The place is also very clean and i can see why because everyday during pick up I watch them dry and wet vac the entire place. Tia Gris was also a phenomenal aid there. So patient, so caring, and constantly teaching them even during free play. I have nothing but praises for them. They even taught us a thing or two about parenting, which we appreciate. Just dont be late to pick up your kids, because there is zero tolerance policy lol. At the end, i feel like my kid has grown so much in the time he spent there. He's so much more verbal and independent now. Most importantly he was happy and loved there like a second family. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

My daughter is on the autism spectrum, and we were turned away by several other daycares before finding Kids Corner Learning Center. I will always be grateful to Pujan and her incredible team for welcoming us with open arms. Since starting here, my daughter has made so much progress and shown incredible growth. It means the world to see how patient, understanding, and compassionate everyone has been with her unique needs. Their dedication and genuine care have made such a positive difference in our lives.

As a mother of a 2 year old girl it can be a bit nerve wracking to leave her in a daycare. But with the constant support and constant communication throughout the day it has been such a warming transition. I receive MULTIPLE updates with pictures and curricular schedule throughout the day. She is always so excited and eager to go to "school!" Grateful for every single teacher that participates and the children are always happy and cheerful at pick up and drop offs!
