Incredible. Watch Me Grow Childcare is truly a special find. We were so nervous putting our 5 month…read moreold in daycare, but Joanna did a fantastic job answering questions, reassuring us, and making herself available. Joanna has exceptional attention to detail: she noticed when our baby was sizing out of diapers, needing faster flow on bottles, and managing layers of baby's clothes for cold mornings/hot days. As first time parents, these insights have been really helpful and also made us feel like baby is getting personalized attention. Joanna also responded well to our baby getting a cranial remolding helmet, using good judgement for breaks as needed and noting improvement of her nap quality over time; baby has not had a single heat rash and tolerates the helmet well at home so the wear duration at WMG has made the acclimation smooth. Baby appears to be reaching milestones quickly all thanks to the playtime she is getting at WMG. We have noticed at home that baby has become an independent roller, is able to sit up unsupported for extended periods of time, grasps/reaches for toys, and brings things to mouth. Baby seems to be well socialized when we go out to large gatherings. Baby smiles at drop off and pick up. Joanna sends pictures showing baby playing and interacting with other babies/kids. Lastly, I was so anxious about baby getting sick as kids inevitably do when starting daycare-- baby has not gotten sick once. This feels incredibly rare, and I attribute this to Joanna's diligence for cleaning and sanitizing. I am SO thankful and relieved to have my child be in Joanna's care at Watch Me Grow. Cannot recommend enough!

We sent our first child to Watch Me Grow starting from 8 months until he was almost 3 years old…read more Ms. Jojo and Yeeyee did an amazing job caring for him as well as teaching him skills as he became a toddler. Some of the skills were learning to clean-up, wash his hands, and get along with peers. We are now planning to send our second child to Watch Me Grow as we know that he will be in good hands.

Our very first daycare experience was at The Playhouse for 5.5 months. Kailan made us feel so…read morecomfortable from day 1. She is so warm and friendly, and you can really tell how much love and care she puts into her daycare and the children. That goes for the other caretakers as well :) My daughter Kayli learned so much and got to do so many fun activities and absolutely loved playing with all of her friends. Every time I picked her up, she was always in a great mood, smiling and waving goodbye to everyone as we were leaving. Unfortunately, they had to move out of San Leandro, but I believe they're opening up a daycare in Pleasanton, so if you are in that area and looking for a daycare, definitely look into it!

We were at Playhouse for a short time. We moved out of the area and the hardest part of moving was…read moreparting ways with Kailan, her staff, and the kids. My son THRIVED so much here. Kailan is such a wonderful person and you feel how much she cares for each kid. She nurtures their individual needs and gives them an outlet, activities, and play that actually tends to their likes. He has a hard time napping from time to time and she always communicated how his day went at PH. He had an ouchie once, and she talked me through what happened and also provided a solution to ensure it doesn't happen again (it was VERY minor). I ALWAYS felt safe dropping our little one to her care. He loves her cooking and always gives lots of hugs. I wish I could clone her and the team and move with us, lol. We have pretty bad PTSD from the previous pre-school and Kailan gave us a sense of security in knowing they actually care and keep all children safe while having a ton of fun.

CMA is a true gem. As an elementary school teacher with a degree in early childhood education I was…read moreextremely picky when it came to picking a school for my own kids. Their program is academically rigorous, fun and engaging. The school itself is tidy and organized. My daughter was rarely sick while attending her first year which I credit to their cleanliness. Most importantly, the incredible teachers! You can guarantee your child will be cared for, respected and nurtured in the best way possible.

Our little guy has been attending Children's Montessori Adventure since he turned two, and has now…read morebeen there a little over a year. He loves it. We love it. The teachers are so deeply kind and caring, and they are so supportive of the children. They focus on empowering kiddos to make good choices and helping them learn responsibility. It was actually quite hard for us to get in, but unusually due to the TK expansion they have a couple extra spots this year! If you are looking for a place for your young child to learn and grow I don't think you can do better than CMA.

The teachers are so caring. They always braid my daughter's hair and she comes home with a different Chinese princess hairstyle almost everyday. What's amazing is she started at Little Apple not speaking any Mandarin, and now she is fluent for her age. Very grateful to the teachers for their care and kindness. The price is actually very good because we looked at one in Alameda and it's way pricier.

Also, they offer three meals a day, which really helps me a lot because it's a headache for me to prepare meals for my kid to take to school every day. Little Apple is a Chinese-English bilingual school, if you're looking for a preschool that teaches Mandarin, here is your good choice. My son can understand a lot of Mandarin now, I really appreciate the efforts that all the teachers make for it!

This review is long overdue. Miss Yan's Daycare has been an extension of my family for almost 3…read moreyears now. My son has been here since he was 2.5 years old. When searching for a daycare, I was a first-time mom entrusting my child with a stranger and it was no easy feat. I interviewed a few places and Miss Yan checked all the boxes. Meals are included, they were trilingual, local, and most importantly, there was a lot of warmth from the caretakers. My son has learned a lot since being here. We also get tons of cute crafts coming home. In addition, there are some fun activities scheduled for the kids such as firetruck visits, bunny feeding during Easter, and once there was a mixer for the parents. The teachers have shown my boy nothing but love and patience and I am grateful to have found this spot. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone.

I highly recommend this daycare to anyone which is why we've been with her for about five years. Seriously, this daycare was the biggest gift because we dont speak Mandarin (canto speaking house hold) with our daughters and for them to come home and sing songs and poems in Mandarin is very impressive to us. My daughter usually comes home with arts and crafts that they have done during the day and a quarter to half the time it has something to do with the Asian culture. Also, another thing I like is that Ms Yan and the staff keeps the house very organized and cleans it daily.

I highly recommend Ms. Jen's daycare!…read more We started my 3 yr old with Ms. Jen to prepare him for TK and she has done exactly that and more. Beyond the academic things he's learned (like writing his name, all the alphabet and #1-100), our son's social confidence has really grown too. Can't forget to mention she potty trained him and gave us a plan at home for potty training. It's obvious how much Ms. Jen and her daycare care for the kids. Thanks for everything Ms. Jen, Mr. O and Nanay!

My daughter started here at 6 months and has grown into a confident, adventurous and curious toddler. She has developed wonderful social skills while playing, creating art, and sharing in fun activities with her friends. The children are all loved and treated as family. I know my daughter loves all of the delicious food as well! I work in schools and have met many people who are great with kids, but Ms. Jen really is magical. My daughter is excited to go to daycare every single day. She comes home singing new songs and sharing all of the new things she's learned. We feel so fortunate; thank you Ms. Jen!!!

We love Kiki! My son was at Kiki daycare from 5 months until he turned 3 and recently moved on to…read morepreschool. All of his big milestones (sitting up, crawling, walking, talking, self-feeding, playing nice with others) were thanks in part to Kiki. We also loved that Kiki is a Mandarin immersion daycare. We speak predominantly English at home, and he would come home teaching US how to sing in Chinese! Since my son is now in a preschool where we have to pack lunch, I'd also like to reiterate the review below about missing Kiki's healthy meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner!). I would highly recommend anyone looking for a daycare that's caring, nurturing, clean, and thorough to choose Kiki daycare!

I see so many great mannerisms influenced by Kiki. Kiki has helped us through so many things, from weaning my daughter off her pacifier (that she was VERY attached to) and getting her fully potty trained at 2 years old! It would have been so much more difficult without Kiki. We are so amazed at how she made these processes so easy for us. Now that my daughter is in preschool and we have to make our own food for her, we are really missing the meals that Kiki provided! When we have our next kid, we will for sure send them to Kiki daycare!

They have learned the routines and their academic skills are quickly growing. They are very fond of their teachers and excitedly tell me about their days when I pick them up.

We have had such a wonderful experience at this preschool, and I cannot recommend it highly enough…read more My daughter is 4 years old and absolutely loves going to school every day. Since attending, her writing skills have improved significantly, and it has been amazing to watch her confidence and abilities grow. Erika is truly exceptional--kind, patient, consistent, and incredibly reliable. She creates a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. It is clear that she genuinely cares about each child and takes pride in helping them succeed. One of the things my daughter enjoys most is the variety of creative art activities the children do throughout the week. The school also has a beautiful backyard with fruit trees, which gives the children a unique opportunity to explore nature and learn about the world around them. As a parent, it gives me peace of mind knowing my daughter is in such capable and caring hands. The positive impact this preschool has had on her development has been remarkable. We are so grateful for this school and especially for such a dedicated and wonderful teacher.

You will not find better child care around. If you are lucky enough to find an opening, this is the…read moreplace. Araceli, Memo, and their family are universally loved amongst all kids and parents. The level of care, warmth, and education they provide goes beyond what you would expect. Their attention is shared with all kids equally, and I can share my experience after nearly three years. My boy started daycare around one and a half years old after attending a not-so-great daycare. As a new parent, I did not fully grasp what an impact a daycare could have. When he first joined, there was a period of time where he was not fully integrating with the rest of the kids. They worked with him slowly and tenderly, and he started opening up after a short while. He is now very extroverted, but the most important thing to me was seeing how he blossomed and became noticeably happier week after week. He also has a hard time eating, but I can always count on his plentiful healthy meals during daycare. That one hasn't been fully resolved yet, haha. As an aside, I bump into them at Costco every few weeks and they are always picking out the best quality ingredients. The kids are spoiled. As far as the day-to-day goes, their time is filled with play and enriching experiences. They are not just being taken care of and entertained; they are guided through a learning process tailored to each one. There is obviously a lot of care placed in pushing each kid's potential and, from what I can tell, they are exceeding academically and developmentally. Mine is performing at a kindergarten level in many subjects. Quick note on value, Araceli's was more affordable than our last daycare and all meals are included. This is getting long, but TL;DR: my son is happy, fed, educated, and loved here. I am eternally grateful for having found Araceli and Memo.

It's stressful trying to find the right daycare for your little ones but ounce we spoke with then an visited them my wife and I knew they are the right people. We first had my son Roberto and he started attending at 2 years old. He was quiet and and little to no social skills at the time. Aracely and Memo not only made the new transition easy and comfortable for us and our son but they became like a second family for him and my wife and I. He was with them until he was ready to attend 1st grade. They got him ready by teaching him how to read write and do Math. My son still calls her teacher and when he has a chance will go inside and hug them. My daughter came after and we wouldn't have taken her anywhere else. She started at 1 year old and they love her so much she's called by them the pricess. They feed her every day just like they did with my son and they love her food more than my wife's I know that's hard to belive but they do such a great job carring for every child and talk to you at the end of the day it's amazing. She is already starting to writte at 3 years old and they help potty trained also. I could go on and on with all the different things they do and how great they are. We has to move and truly miss them, if you are reading this just know they will take care of your child and will steal your heart. Much love to both of you and your Family
