The center's nurturing environment and the way they listen to each child's needs have truly helped my child come out of their shell and thrive. I'm particularly impressed with how driven and attentive the staff are. They create a space where children can grow, learn, and build confidence. If you're looking for a place where your child will be respected, listened to, and given the time they need to adjust, I highly recommend Sunshine House. Thank you for being such an essential part of our community and for making a positive impact on my child's life!

I cannot say enough about the incredible teachers. They are loving and kind and so invested in the success of your child. The curriculum is age appropriate and fun, my children always come home singing or sharing their art with excitement about their day at Sunshine house. We've had the pleasure of meeting new teachers and directors throughout the years and have formed great relationships with all of them. I would highly recommend my family, friends and anyone that needs a wonderful safe learning environment for their kids to enroll at Sunshine House.

Absolutely Exceptional - More Than Just a School…read more Year after year, this Montessori school continues to amaze our family. It is rare to find a place that balances rigorous academic excellence with such a genuine focus on character development and respect. We have watched our youngest (now 4) blossom here over the last two years. The growth in his education level is nothing short of outstanding--he is learning concepts I wouldn't have expected at his age, yet he is doing it with joy and curiosity. But beyond the academics, what impresses me most is the school's commitment to constantly bringing in new activities and enhancing the learning environment. They never settle; they are always finding ways to be better. A few amazing days of the year for you and the family: All the Holidays - The school ensures we celebrate holidays from across all cultures and life. Fathers' Night: An amazing way to connect their children with their fathers. One of the best moments I look forward to every year. I Mother Tea Time: Another amazing experience for the children to spend some quality academic and fun time with their moms. This standard of excellence isn't limited to just one teacher; it is consistent across the board. Every staff member, at every level, cares deeply about these children. If you are looking for a place that will truly invest in your child's future, this is it. We couldn't be happier.

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.

Not only does our family still have a strong bond with her, we've built life long freindships with the families who also attended her daycare. The joke was no one leaves Daycare Debbie since she's so amazing....well at least not until they drive to High School! Debbie is in a league of her own!

Thank you so much Sunshine House B2, for being such an important extension of our family.

Our daughter, Jermanee Worley, has attended Sunshine House Preschool for the past two years. To be…read morehonest, our experience started off as a roller coaster. As first-time parents, it was definitely a difficult and emotional situation to navigate. There was a period when we truly felt that Jermanee was being targeted because she is African American. She was frequently coming home with "ouch reports" after being hit at school, which became very concerning for us. Eventually, Jermanee began defending herself, and it then seemed like she was being viewed as the aggressor. It is such an important and emotional stage in a child's life because they are still learning how to communicate, express emotions, and respond to conflict. Navigating those situations as first-time parents was not easy. However, after we shared our concerns and had open conversations with the staff, things began to improve significantly. Mrs. Cani truly helped turn our experience around. She listened to our concerns, showed compassion, and helped create an environment where Jermanee felt supported and cared for. Mrs. Michelle also made a tremendous impact on Jermanee. Over time, we could clearly see that her teachers genuinely cared about her and wanted the best for her. We also absolutely love the events they host. Pizza Night was amazing, and we appreciate how they go out of their way to honor mothers and fathers through special events and family breakfasts. The picture updates throughout the day are also a wonderful touch because they allow parents to see their child smiling, learning, and enjoying their day. Now, Jermanee gives her teachers hugs before she leaves every day, which says a lot. While our journey was not perfect, we truly appreciate the staff members who helped create a more positive, loving, and supportive experience for our daughter and our family.

My daughter has been at Dainty for over a year and loved every minute of it! I couldn't be happier…read morewith our experience at this school. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth, respect, and genuine care the staff has for each child. The classrooms are beautifully organized, calm, and filled with engaging materials that spark curiosity and independence. From Ms. Deb, to Ms. Cindy, to Ms. Ghazal, to Ms. Alyssa, to Ms. Gloria-- everyone has become like family to us! Most importantly, my child feels safe! With the Playground app, teachers and parents can communicate and receive regular updates about my child's day. The sense of community is strong, and we always feel welcomed and supported. If you're looking for a nurturing, inspiring place where children learn through hands-on experience and develop a lifelong love of learning, I highly recommend Dainty.

Dainty Montessori has honestly been the best choice we've made. Our toddler was at another school…read morefor a few months before we found Dainty, and she cried at every single drop-off and pick-up. I was nervous about switching things up on a two-year-old, but the moment we toured with Ms. Deb, I felt so much better. She's the director, and her cheerful, positive vibe is something the kids really pick up on. She made both our daughter and us feel totally at ease right away. To my surprise--and honestly, my immense gratitude--our daughter has never cried at drop-off at Dainty. The only tears we see are tiny pouts at pick-up because she doesn't want to leave. She truly never wants to miss a day. She started at 2.5 in the Butterfly room with Ms. Cindy and Ms. Ghazal, who were both amazing and taught her so much. The environment is safe, friendly, and full of teachers who leave the kind of impression that sticks with a child for life. We had a few little transition hiccups early on, but Ms. Deb handled everything quickly and thoughtfully. Now my daughter is with Ms. Alyssa and comes home excited to share whatever new thing she learned that day. The teachers all support each other, too, and she has a great connection with Ms. Liiana, who teaches the next age group up. Whenever someone hears that my three-year-old is "in school," they assume it's just a daycare. But Dainty is so much more than that--it's a truly remarkable school with an incredible staff. They put so much time and effort into every event and holiday. The kids have a blast, and honestly, so do the parents.

Here we are 9 months later and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jayme and the amazing way she cares for our son.

She is such a blessing and wonderful with the kids! They have so much fun together and it shines through daily. From the nutritious meals she prepares to the arts and crafts that Jude brings home daily, it's all part of what is helping my son grow and blossom into a confident toddler. I was so worried when we began looking for full time care last year that we wouldn't find anything centrally located, affordable and a good fit for our family. Settling was just not an option for us- as I'm sure all parents want the best for their children and expect to be able to find it. We know we are so lucky to have found Jayme. This family daycare is so much more than that and I'm so happy and proud to share how wonderful she truly is!

Finding Keiki Care 123 in Brentwood wasn't just luck--it was a blessing that came exactly when we needed it most. From the very first day, "Mrs. Esmy" welcomed my boys with so much warmth and kindness. It didn't take long before they grew attached to her, and as a father, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your children feel safe, loved, and happy when you're not around. I've watched my boys grow in ways that truly touched my heart--their speech improved, their confidence blossomed, and their excitement to go each day said everything I needed to know. She creates a structured, nurturing environment where kids don't just learn--they feel valued. During one of the hardest times in my life, she gave me peace of mind. She was not only fair and affordable, but she genuinely cared--and that's something you just can't put a price on. Her space is always clean, organized, and welcoming, but what really makes her special is the love she puts into what she does. I will forever be grateful for what she's done for my family. If you're a parent searching for someone you can truly trust with your children, Keiki Care 123 is that place.

This is a safety issue especially of what's going on today with ICE I would not recommend anyone of color attending this place of business. When I would pick my baby up from the daycare he would always be on the floor with no cover screaming crying. He was definitely being treated different.
