Narelle P.

Gateway Preschool Academy is the best in San Jose! My children love it! GPA and the Church are both welcoming and friendly. They are professional. I appreciate that. Nice and clean too! Everything is pretty much new! Not old and all used up. I like that. You want the best for your child... even while you're at work. At his point sending my children to GPA was the best choice I made for them. They build great communication with all. One mom told me "I like the way they talk to the children.... I have been looking for somewhere for so long". And when they opened she said "Yes!" My son just turned two. Since being at GPA he already started counting on his fingers and up to 5! They pray together and have lunch "family" style. Every Sunday parents receive a weekly update via email. The email explains what's new and what they will be learning. They sing! Dance and pray together. I highly recommend GPA! Like they say, knowing your ABC's is not enough! GPA goes above and beyond. Love the newsletters. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it" Proverbs 22:6 For ages 24m-5yrs

MORE THAN READY FOR KINDER!!

On my child's first day, they helped us quickly manage his separation anxiety and within 5 minutes they posted pictures of him happily playing on the Procare app. At the end of the day he was so excited to tell us about his day, the teachers, and the friends he met. I love the facility and the way the rooms are setup. There are 4 rooms connected to each other so it's easy to separate the classes during curriculum and free play, and it's also easy to teachers to hop between rooms as needed. The school provided excellent lunches and snacks, and posted great pictures of the children eating together on the Procare app. Also the outdoor play area is excellent. There are many cars, balls and toys for the children to use. The shade structures are expertly set up, and the playground equipment is fun and safe. With all the children ages 2-5, the teachers and facilities are perfectly tuned to these ages. Such a great school!

Meals are provided throughout the day, and they follow food groups. All concerns regarding allergies are respected. Definitely inquire with Tram, and she provides a detailed packet and orientation. Overall, I loved the experience I had due to the easiness and trust I was able to build with Tram and Staff. Olive was taken care of and also progressing well in her social development. Organization of Mama Bear Academy reassures you that your child will be in good hands. Pictures are sent in the beginning few weeks and then upon request. Holidays are celebrated to provide a sense of unity and fun for the children. Potty training was another journey that we prospered through! I would recommend Mama Bear Academy to anyone who is looking for professional, friendly and experienced child care.

Finding quality, reliable, and most importantly trustworthy childcare is close to impossible! I can't rave enough about Tram, she's our family's Mrs. Rachel where I feel like we have to protect and remind her how valued she is towards us. She has taught our son so much from communal dining, community safety ( he understands to stop when a fist is made and he's told to stop, which is so incredible when a child is running off at a park), singing, and just playing without the distraction of tablets and tv. He's so incredibly happy here and I'm at work at peace knowing he's loved, well taken care of, and given attention as if he's the only kiddo at her daycare. That's truly how Tram makes us feel at pickup, even though we know there's so many other kiddos there. Thank you Mama Bear for existing and being wonderful!

I've truly enjoyed my time at Primrose, and the experience has been wonderful for my daughter…read more Since starting in Pre-K and now transitioned to TK, she has blossomed in so many areas like writing, socialization, singing, dancing, penmanship, and countless other skills. Most importantly, the staff and teachers create such a warm, friendly, and nurturing environment. I always feel completely confident and safe sending my daughter here. I also love the picture updates we receive and all the thoughtful celebrations and holiday decorations throughout the school year. It's so fun, warm, and inviting! There was some teacher turnover in Pre-K, but even that ended up being a reflection of the school's strength. My daughter absolutely adored Ms. Christina, who took a short leave for personal reasons, and then grew just as fond of Ms. Sarah, who was also wonderful before she needed to step away. Both teachers were missed! We then had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Michelle, who is incredibly sweet and caring. Despite the transitions, I always felt my daughter was supported and in excellent hands. Overall, I highly recommend Primrose to any parent. The school has an inclusive culture, clean and well-maintained classrooms, a great playground, and most importantly a safe, positive environment where children truly grow. Watching my daughter thrive here over the years has been the best reassurance of all.

When my child was a baby, I was impressed by how clean, organized, and well-maintained the rooms and facilities were, which gave me peace of mind about leaving him in their care. The app that allowed me to see photos of my child and receive updates on activities was also incredibly reassuring. After infant class, school provides lunch and snacks which made in-house which was also big plus for us. At one point, we had to switch to another daycare for a year due to my husband's job transfer. During that time, we realized just how high-quality and outstanding Primrose evergreen truly is. Comparing it to another daycare only highlighted its excellence even more. As my son grew older, it was wonderful to see him learning so much and genuinely enjoying his time at Primrose. He always seemed happy to go, which made us feel incredibly grateful. We're especially thankful for the amazing and warm teachers at this daycare--Ms. Julie, Ms. Maritza, Ms. Keerthana, Miss Priyanka, and Miss Neha and all the teachers he had. They had such a positive impact on our child. We miss them dearly and couldn't have asked for a better team! I also have to mention the seasonal displays and events--they were absolutely amazing and added so much to the overall experience.

My 2 year old daughter goes to Valley Oak Montessori, and has been there for 6 months now. Being…read moresuch a young child, I wanted a loving, caring and homey environment for my baby, where she can be well cared for, socialize and enjoy, while also also learn, and grow. I don't have enough words to convey what a wonderful pre-school it is. The teachers are extremely warm and care for the little ones like they are their own. As a parent, you leave behind a piece of your heart and want to know your child is being cared for, where they spend the most of their time, especially of their crucial developmental years. Early on, teachers took care to learn Isha's naptime routine and even learnt the Hindi lullaby she was used to and sang it to her everyday. That really helped ease her transition from home to school. Their monthly menu is diverse and even has Indian meal options which was a big plus for me! They have a very balanced plate and I don't have to worry about my kid eating healthy at school. They also have very well planned weekly curriculum where they teach kids life skills, have them do projects, have monthly themes for kids. They engage with the kids 1:1, have circle and music time which is great for kids to learn new songs and dance. The classrooms are large, where kids have a very clean environment and a good selection of learning books and toys (See pictures). The outdoors is also very well setup for kids to have physical activity, twice a day. They post weekly newsletters on what the kids were taught at school and it helps us better understand what kids are learning at school. They also have special events planned for Thanksgiving, Christmas, where kids perform songs and have parents join in for the celebration. Mrs. Varsha, the program director is very warm and approachable, and makes sure to know and bond with every kid personally, despite having such a large facility. She makes sure to care for every kid's individual needs and receptive to feedback. She makes sure to take action on the smallest feedback very promptly, while always being very kind with the parents and her staff. The school is gated and I've found it to be very safe for my kiddo. The student to teacher ratio is also very healthy 6:1, and they regularly post photos and videos of kids on brightwheel, so you can see their special moments through the day. The teachers try to make sure every kid is well cared for, and I cannot emphasize what an incredible job they do! Taking care of little ones, especially in their parents' absence, everyday is one of the most important and rewarding jobs in the world, and they are doing a brilliant job at that. My older kid went to a different preschool and I wasn't very happy with how it was run, but I feel like I hit the jackpot with Valley Oak Montessori. Thank you very much for making it so easy for me as a mom to leave behind my child, knowing she's loved and cared for. It's a very hard job, and extremely well done! Big thank you to the entire team!

But now I'm really happy and assured that he is in good hands. Ms Yen takes care of him very well. She makes sure that he is eating his food and drinking his milk.

It only took only 3 days for teacher Yen to make him feel comfortable with his surrounding environment as he was upset and crying at first few days which is very impressive. One thing we notice already is that his eating behaviors have improved. In the past, meal time at home used to be a very difficult experience for all of us as our boy was very fussy and easily distracted. We have noticed since starting at the school how much he has changed in a positive way. He behaves very well at home. No more tantrums, crying and screaming at meal time. What a life changer!!!! Another bonus is the school provides 3 meals a day which is very helpful due to our busy schedules. As a parent, we are very pleased with the services/programs so far. Teacher Yen and her staffs have the warmest hearts; they are nurturing, patient and experienced. We receive updates throughout the day with bonus added videos. Both of us feel our son is in SAFE HANDS which is the most important thing. We Highly Recommend Top Notch Preschool
