Every day, our daughter is involved in activities that help her grow and learn. From creative art, food prep, science experiments and paper crafts to making custom keychains, the projects are fun and developmentally helpful. There are also so many programs and projects listed in the newsletter we receive regularly. They do a wonderful job helping her build strong fine motor skills, and Fridays are especially fun because of dance day, which she looks forward to each week. What really stands out is the staff. Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall are genuinely kind, sincere, and caring. The teachers are always going above and beyond for the kids, and we always feel comfortable knowing our daughter is in good hands. Ms. Hamina keeps me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciate. I was nervous about putting my daughter into daycare at first, but she has had such a positive experience. She adjusted quickly and actually loves daycare! All the other kids are so good to her and each other. We are very grateful for the care and enrichment they provide and would highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging environment for their child.

The teachers, Ms. Hamina and Ms. Kendall, clearly love what they do and genuinely care about the kids. Ms. Hamina has put together an incredible curriculum. In just a short time, our daughter has gotten to experience so many fun activities--visits from police officers, a fire truck, the East Bay SPCA, cooking classes, and a new learning theme each month. Last month, they even put on an art show featuring all of the kids' artwork, which was such a thoughtful touch and a proud moment for us. We also really appreciate the cozy, home-like environment--it feels safe, welcoming, and perfect for young kids. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves going every day, which says it all. We're so thankful to have found Little Feet Preschool and highly recommend it to other families!

I can't say enough good things about Neverland Daycare and Miss Courtney! From the very first day,…read moreshe made my child feel so welcome and loved -- it honestly felt like we were dropping them off with family, not just a teacher. Miss Courtney has the kindest heart and such a natural way with kids. She really takes the time to understand each child's personality and helps them grow in their own way. My daughter is excited to go to daycare every morning. The daycare is clean, big, full of fun and varieties of activities. Each day she has learning and meal schedules, walking, exercise. Ms Courtney sends pictures of my daughter to me everyday. My daughter has learned so much and has so much fun here. Ms Nary is not in my daughter's class but she always keeps checking on us which is very nice of her! We're so grateful to have found Neverland Daycare and Miss Courtney. She's made such a positive difference in our child's life and in ours too.

The learning journey she experienced here was incredible we witnessed beautiful growth in her confidence, communication, independence, and love for learning. Neverland teachers are genuinely warm, loving and deeply caring, creating an environment where children feel safe, valued, and happy. The activities are thoughtfully planned, creative, and engaging and the monthly celebrations are done with so much heart and intention they always made the kids feel special and excited. The healthy, nutritious meals provided were a blessing, especially for our picky eater. Over time, this care and consistency helped her develop better eating habits, something we are truly grateful for even today. Nina holds an incredibly special place in our hearts. Her kindness, patience and unconditional love left a lasting imprint on our daughter's early years. The bond our daughter shares with her is something we will always cherish. Nina didn't just care for our child she helped shape her with love, warmth and trust. Neverland will forever be a meaningful part of our family's journey, and we couldn't be more thankful for the foundation, love, and memories created here.

My son went to this daycare for about a year in 2023. Our experience was a mixed bag…read more The good - It's my son's first daycare and he had a relatively smooth start here. Michelle and her crew are experienced, and they did create a cheerful environment for the kids. The bad - Sloppy day-to-day operations, or so we suspect at least. We could only speculate because the daycare was never open-door to parent visits (aside from the after-hour tour before we enrolled), but there were clear signs: (1) after the final checkout we found our son's steel mug missing, and it sounded like the crew didn't even remember seeing it - makes us wonder how they manage each kid's personal items. (2) Apparently, kids get to watch TV the last hour-ish before pickup every day. When we asked about this, Ms Michelle was 100% unapologetic. ("If you have concerns with that, I can totally arrange for your kid to stay in another room before pickup.") The ugly - The tuition uses a monthly rate without any adjustments for days off, and in December 2023, they're open for a whopping total of FOUR days - which isn't great, but nothing unethical I think, as they did share the calendar beforehand. We happen to be traveling the entire December, so we gave the 30-day notice for an end-of-November checkout. To our surprise, this was considered by Michelle an unfair (?) attempt to circumvent the December rip-off, and she insisted that we receive 5 fewer days of care in November. She would also go out of her way and type a "holiday notice" customized just for us. For context, the schedule has a 5-day off for Thanksgiving that's moved to December instead, and the daycare's open for the week of Thanksgiving. We were given a customized fake schedule that says they're closed during that week. We happened to be traveling, too, so it wasn't a huge issue, but the shady practice and bad attitude by Michelle did leave a bad taste. No, Ms Michelle, you can't claim people are "taking unfair advantages" when all they do is try to stick to YOUR established schedule. The care provided during Thanksgiving week was part of your schedule, simply as that and not a "benefit" that you selectively bestow only to those paying $2,000 for 4 days of care in the next month.

The daycare provides both breakfast and lunch, which is a lifesaver for busy young couples like my husband and I. They have a full variety of activities and celebrations throughout the year. They celebrated mother's and father's days by taking photos for parents and kids and let the kids brought them back home with frames; they celebrated new year with a potluck party and gifts; they celebrated Valentine's Day with gifts and balloons.... All these celebrations are great memories for both the kids and families. I strongly recommend you contact and book a tour to visit this daycare.

Overall, would highly recommend this daycare for your kids. They do a good job at giving us daily updates on our son's activities, photos of the day and if/when he may be starting to get sick.

A special mention to Ms. Neeraja for maintaining the school so well and for always being approachable and supportive.

Another thing we truly appreciate is the flexibility and understanding with parents' timings and schedules. It really helps working families.

She really embodies the mission and importance of early childhood education. It as only been a week in the classroom but I can see the change a classroom with structured lesson plans make on my daughter. We went from high chair feeding and assisted naps to solo feeds and self soothing nap times. My daughter now looks forward to seeing her teacher Ms. Mau at school.

I need not have, because our experience with Building Kidz and all the staff/teachers here has been amazing. I highly recommend them, if you are looking for a place where your child will be nurtured in a safe and engaging environment. They make learning fun and creative. The weekly music and dance lessons are awesome and the 2 performances a year bring out the creative talents of kids as well as build their confidence (huge shout out to Ms. Hannah). The fire station visit, caring for a garden and planting seeds, fire safety training with Ms. Carla, science experiments with Ms. Dana were some of the highlights in the 4s class. The school's curriculum is fun and engaging and kids can learn and explore in a safe environment. As our kid will move to kindergarten this year they are also taking steps to prepare her for that next stage.

As a parent you often hear, "It takes a village to raise a child." and Sumi and Little Pearls…read moredaycare is absolutely part of my "village" to raise my child. Little Pearls has allowed me to focus on work, so I can be a better parent when my child comes home. I was very hesitant and worried about putting my baby in daycare. I was lucky enough to keep my child at home until they were over a year old, but I had to return to the office and it was no longer possible to maintain. The opportunity to send my child to Little Pearls suddenly arrived. My husband and I toured the house, and our child met Sumi for the first time. Sumi asked if it was okay to wipe our child's nose and give them hug. My child being held by a completely new person seemed to be at ease in Sumi's arms. While most parents primarily interact with Sumi, her husband Tarun, is also a licensed child care provider. Sumi encouraged us to look up her license number prior to enrolling and to review the parent handbook throughly, and I would expect she still suggests the same. She is willing to discuss any questions you might have about what's there. It took weeks for my child to adjust to being in daycare. Sumi gave us tips on how we could help at home and sent us regular updates on our child's progress. It was very stressful at the time, but now my child runs into Sumi's house every morning excited to start their day together. I really appreciate the home cooked meals and no TV time. My child eats a wide variety of foods and it's so helpful for me to have my child's meals taken care of during a busy work week. My child has a daily schedule and it's helped us maintain regular bedtimes. My child is treated like a person, and Sumi knows all her kids so well. Sumi loves her kids and we've recommended Little Pearls to other new parents and will continue to recommend them. I am so thankful that Sumi has helped us develop such a kind and curious child during our time at Little Pearls. I'm sure we will miss her very much when my child goes to school.

Updating review for Older Infants classroom…read more My son started in the infant classroom at 7 months and transitioned to the older infants class at 12 months. Older infants is for children 12-18 months. The transition was so smooth! He slowly visited the older infants class and was able to get to know the teachers and the classroom before he formally started. This classroom is all about routine vs the infant class where everything is done off baby's cues and their personal/parent routine. Our son quickly adapted and thrived off having a set routine. The other big change is being able to go outside to the toddler playground which is separate from the older children. When our son transitioned he was unable to walk yet but quickly picked it up soon after moving classes. It's amazing how the teachers are able to do so much with such young toddlers. From sitting all together for circle time, to the endless art projects, to gross motor activities. We are constantly kept up to date via the app and the teachers always tell us about his day at pickup. Our son loves his teachers and is always happy to see Ms. Chua at drop off, who welcome him with open loving arms. Ms. Iris always gives such great updates at pick up. And Ms. Yali has been such a great addition to the class. Overall, we'd one thousand percent recommend Primrose!
