Openings with Tina are hard to come by, and now I completely understand why. The day he has to leave will be incredibly bittersweet--I honestly wish he could stay with Tina forever. She is, without a doubt, the best caregiver we could have asked for. Tina treats every child as if they were her own and welcomes every family with so much love and care. She doesn't just provide childcare; she becomes part of your village. Whenever I'm unsure about something or need advice, she's one of the first people I turn to because I trust her experience and genuinely value her guidance. If you're fortunate enough to have your child in Tina's care, you're not just finding a daycare provider--you're gaining someone who will care for your child like family. We are forever grateful for everything she has done for our son, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

When we were looking into daycares for our son, we found many that did not take babies less than 6 months old. Luckily, Christina had a spot open for our 3.5 month old and we immediately enrolled in one of her limited spots. We were always on the same page and there was very clear communication when it came to feeding schedules, diaper changes, etc. She sends end of day updates to let us know how the day went. Christina will also sends pictures and videos if our son did something cute and funny. During pick up time, he was always in a good mood and smiles! When he started walking, he would walk into the house every morning without a glance behind and run straight for the toys! We really appreciated early drop offs or late pick ups (per request) when we both had to be in the office or there was crazy traffic on the freeway. We highly recommend Christina's daycare!

We enrolled our 2.9 old to this Montessori facility a year and a half ago initially due to the…read moreproximity of its location to our home and the reasonable price of one child on a 3 day a week, half day program. He was at that time shy, hard to communicate with, and was overall stubborn with wanting to do what he wanted and when. As a father that always wants the best for his kids and worries about how they may acclimate to new places and experiences, I worryingly counted down the days until we ultimately had to let him walk through the threshold into Level Up. The initial drop offs were rough on us and him as he got used to new places and teachers, and every week I wondered if it was truly the right choice for us. However, thanks to the absolute patience, empathy from the staff here, and stunning attention to what our son needs and how to communicate most effectively with him he started to absolutely blossom. A kid that couldn't finish the ABC's was somehow talking in full sentences by the end of the year, telling his feelings in reaction to what we were saying to him, and somehow became the line leader of his entire group. While yes, some of this may have come naturally to him over time both my wife and I agree that this school has put him well over the top of academic and social expectations. He has become acutely aware and sensitive of others people's wants and needs, is quite the public performer thanks to the schools seasonal performances, and thanks to the learning curriculum is quite aware of how to conserve energy and help the earth thrive. While still the stubborn little guy he is, he continues to excel and be nurtured by the staff who is THE reason why we are still at this location. Ms. Shushma, the manager of this facility has lead her team in a way that is nothing more than admirable. It is clear during drop offs and picking up that she knows the personalities and needs of every single one of her students and makes sure that they are accounted for. Her door is always opened for questions, concerns, and she has always reached out with thoughtful ways on how to best take care of our son in the most respectful manner. Over the last year and a half she become one of the most influential people in our sons development, and we could not thank her enough for her time and energy. If you are looking for a care center where your child needs attention, patience, and a really fun place to play (the happy home indoor play area two doors down is really cool) I would highly consider the Fremont location. We are currently enrolled in a full time 5 day a week program with optional included meals and will be enrolling our daughter when the time rolls around.

After about 2-3 months at school and interacting with the children and teachers, his vocabulary has exploded. He talks all of the time now and surprising us with new words almost every day. When he started, the teachers assessed how much he knew already and looked at what they have to work on with him. They focused on phonics and getting him to use words more. They do have parent-teacher conference to go over his progress and what still needs to be worked on. He is still not the best at sharing but he is learning. He enjoys the songs and dances that he learns from school. He is slowly getting better at the worksheets needing less assistance than before. He loves his alphabets and numbers. He knows how to read a couple of words. Our son has been in the middle of his potty training journey, but it's been difficult for him to use unfamiliar bathrooms. The teachers remind the kids on using the bathroom. The school has part-time and full-time enrollment. The teachers are always so nice and patient with him and the other kids. The school has occasional events/programs throughout the year that we are invited to watch as the kids have fun and perform what they have learned. We are so happy with his progress thus far.

Mr. Daniel practices flashcards with the children, which has helped our son tremendously. When he was younger, we received daily report cards detailing what he ate, when he went potty, and when he napped. It was so helpful to get a glimpse into his day and learn what foods he was trying, especially since he can be a picky eater. They also helped him transition away from a bottle, and now that he's two, they are supporting us with potty training. Knowing that he is reaching important milestones, learning new things, and being well cared for gives us such peace of mind as parents. Most importantly, he comes home happy, and we can see how much he enjoys being there. We are so grateful for the care and support Ms. Nancy and Mr. Daniel provide and would highly recommend them to any parent looking for childcare, especially if she has an opening!

As a first time mom, it was so scary trying to find someone you can trust to watch your baby mon-fri, full time when going back to work and with no family nearby. Nancy made my husband and I feel so at ease during the initial tour and our baby was so happy meeting her, all green flags! Our son even cries when Daniel leaves the room because he loves him so much Our son has been enrolled full time and we've watched him grow and thrive since being in their care. Nancy is so responsive which is one of the main things you can ask for with childcare. Our son is so happy at daycare and loves going so much, sometimes I don't even know that he wants to come home LOL. Honestly kind of salty about that sometimes haha but in all seriousness it makes me feel so relieved he has such a good time. The first week she sent tons of photos and videos and asked questions regarding his feeding, routines, etc which was so nice. She helped extensively with his day to day routine/schedule and got this boy on a sleep schedule and helped with his sleep training! He's been sleeping through the night and going to bed so much easier since being at daycare. The daycare also provides food and helped introduce different textures and things to our son. Nancy is a great cook and our son loves her cooking! It's so nice to be able to drop him off and know he is fully being taken care of and we don't have to worry about preparing meals everyday to bring as well. I'm so happy we found Nancy and Daniel and would HIGHLY recommend their services. I feel extremely blessed we found and chose them over every daycare we interviewed with. We moved farther away but our son loves going there so much we just make the drive because it's so worth it knowing how Nancy and Daniel genuinely care about the kids they watch. To Nancy and Daniel: Thank you so much for helping our son grow. We are so thankful and appreciative of both of you!

Words cannot express how amazing Ms. Joanna and Ereno daycare is.

As a first time mom and also coming out of the pandemic, there was double the worry and concerns as we looked for a daycare for our daughter. I wanted to make sure she was safe, happy and cared for in a warm environment and Ereno daycare provided exactly all of these. The moment I spoke with Ms. Joanna on the phone, I was amazed and touched because I could tell she genuinely wanted to know about my daughter and she was very clear and honest about answering all my questions. Ms. Joanna really understands children well and provides each child with the individual attention and care they need. At 2.5 years old, my daughter learned all of the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, how to write her name, and much, much more and oh my goodness, Ms. Joanna made potty training so so easy. My daughter had so much fun every day and was so excited to go every day (you know the daycare is great when your child loves to go). My daughter also loved Ms. Joanna's cooking! (She literally ate everything Ms. Joanna cooked but when I made the same thing, she wouldn't eat it lol). Ms. Joanna sent home daily notes, which was great because I was able to see my daughter's nap schedule, what she ate, bathroom/diaper changes. She also regularly sent me photos of my daughter during activities and playtime, which were always a delight! I loved working with Ms. Joanna. She really listened to us and was attentive to our updates, concerns, what our daughter likes/dislikes, what has been going on, changes to schedules at home, etc. It was so easy to communicate with her, and it was a partnership in really being able to work together to help our daughter thrive and grow academically, socially, physically and emotionally. We really miss Ereno daycare and wish we could have stayed. We highly recommend and praise Ereno daycare!

Completely unprofessional and dishonest owners. Our kid was supposed to go to this daycare, and I…read moreconfirmed the same with Rezy multiple times. She told me not to worry, and then, a month before joining, she told us they were moving out of the Bay Area and wouldn't be able to accommodate my kid. She also told me that they were soon going to give this news to the currently enrolled students as well. They were supposed to move out of the Bay Area within the next 2 months and, over the phone, convinced me that it was an emergency for them. Fast forward, we learned from another source that she hasn't told her currently enrolled kids yet and might continue this daycare for at least another 6 months (maybe longer). She never reached out to let us know so that we could use her daycare, at least temporarily, for about 6 months until we were able to find another. This forced us to scramble to find a daycare at the last moment, and we did not get a lot of options since it was very close to the joining date. A more honest conversation with us and following up with me would have helped us trust the owners. After this, it feels like we were lied to by the owners as an excuse not to enroll my kid, even after confirming multiple times. I'm not even sure if they are planning to move out of the Bay Area. This was supposed to be the first daycare for my kid, and this experience has left a bad taste for us.

She is kind, caring, and genuinely loving towards every child she cares for. It's not just a job for her; it's clearly her passion. She has dedicated a beautiful part of her home to the daycare, creating a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy. What truly sets Rezy apart is how engaged she is with the kids. She doesn't just watch them--she teaches them. She sings songs, does activities, and encourages learning in such a gentle and fun way. My daughter comes home every day smiling, singing new songs, and proudly sharing what she's learned. On top of all that, Rezy provides nutritious meals and snacks, and she's thoughtful and mindful about what she serves. It's clear she puts great care into every detail of her daycare. All the kids absolutely adore her, and it's easy to see why. She treats each one as if they were her own--with patience, love, and attentiveness. As a parent, that level of trust and peace of mind is priceless. I don't take recommendations lightly, especially when it comes to child care, but I wholeheartedly and highly recommend Rezy. She has been a blessing to our family, and I truly feel so lucky to have found her!

My son started at My Mother's Hug (MMH) when he was just 20 months old. Today, at 5 years old, he…read moreis graduating from MMH and starting Kindergarten tomorrow. It is hard to put into words how emotional and grateful I feel as we reach this milestone. **MMH truly lives up to its name.** It provided my son with a mother's touch, warmth, hugs, love, and care when he was away from home. One of the main reasons I chose MMH was because of the reviews from other mothers who spoke so highly of the caring and nurturing environment. After almost four years, I can confidently say that those reviews were absolutely right. What makes MMH stand out is its vision and the core purpose behind everything they do -- **the child is always at the center.** My son has grown into an independent, confident, clear-thinking child. I often receive compliments from others saying, "He knows what he wants," and I truly believe a big part of that comes from the MMH curriculum and the everyday activities that focus on the overall development of the child, not just academics. One of the things I admire most about MMH is how they nurture **empathy and compassion** in children. It is something you can genuinely see in the kids at MMH, and I believe it is one of the most valuable qualities a child can develop. I cannot thank **Ms. Monica (Principal), Ms. Fariha (Director, On Mission Campus), Ms. Hetal (my son's current class teacher), Ms. Anisha (Dance Teacher),Sports teacher** and every single teacher who has been a part of my son's journey at MMH enough. Each of you has contributed something special to his growth, and we will always be grateful. And then there is a very special person at MMH -- **Asha Ji**. She is such a loving and warm personality. The kids absolutely adore her. My son calls her the "cooking teacher," but to us, she is so much more than that. The way she greets every child as they enter school, the genuine care she shows, and the special bond she builds with both children and parents make her such an important part of the MMH family. I highly recommend MMH to any parent who feels scared or anxious about sending their little one away from home for the first time. I can personally vouch that the MMH team understands and truly resonates with those feelings. They make sure that your fears gradually disappear because you know your child is being loved, cared for, and nurtured. The children spend meaningful and quality time with their peers. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed and supports every aspect of a child's development. They provide nutritious food, which is so important during these formative years. Most importantly, they take milestones seriously -- whether it is moving away from diapers, learning to eat independently, becoming more social and communicative, or developing confidence and independence. Their recent **Public Speaking program** has also been a huge hit and is another wonderful example of how MMH encourages children to express themselves and build confidence from an early age. There is honestly so much more I could say about this wonderful organization. After almost four years, it feels less like we are saying goodbye to a school and more like we are saying goodbye to an extended family member who has been an important part of our child's life. Thank you, MMH, for giving my son such a beautiful foundation for his next chapter. As he walks into Kindergarten tomorrow, we know he is ready -- and we know that MMH has played a huge role in getting him there. We wish the entire MMH family the very best and hope that every child and every parent who walks through your doors experiences the same love, care, growth, and happiness that we have experienced. **Thank you for being our "Mother's Hug" when we couldn't be there ourselves. **

By the time my husband and I found Little Blessings Daycare we had already interviewed 5 other Daycare centers. Many of them had bad reviews and during the interview the staff didn't really seem patient with our questions.

Then we met Helana We knew almost immediately from the initial phone call that she was someone with experience, not only as a professional but as a Mother as well, she was very patient and informative. She was not rushing to get us off the phone, she answered questioned we never got a chance to ask, she checked off all of the boxes. The girls warmed up very quickly at their first meet and greet as well. Ever since then, we have never once regretted our decision to choose this daycare. Our daughters love Helana, and my oldest says "TeeTee loves me" which warms my heart. As a parent, I highly recommend Helana, but I also want to say that she is a human who needs respect as well. Not just because she is taking care of our babies, but because she is just a genuinely caring person.

She knows everything about the business and her school, including all the students in various classes and their parents. When you have concern or questions, she is always very welcoming and takes time to address your concern, whether it's related to the school or to your kid. As a parent, I feel very comfortable sending my kids there. We also love the teachers there. All of them are very caring. Even though not all of them are my kid's class teacher, most of them knows my kid's name and always have a big smile on them when talking to him. It is also a great school to get your kids ready for the kindergarten. In case you are curious, they use Hook on Phonics program. The program really prepares all kids very well, and lead them started on reading. So from a parent's point of view, they are very organized administratively, teachers are very caring, and your kids are beyond ready academically for the next step, what more can I ask for? Luckily, my younger one will be going there soon!

A Wonderful Start to Our Son's Early Years!…read more Our son Hrishikesha was part of the Little Mud Puddles family from age 2 to 4, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to support his early growth and development. What initially drew us in was their play-based learning approach--something we truly value at this age, instead of overwhelming kids with academic pressure too early. From the very beginning, the warmth and personal attention from the staff stood out. Every teacher greeted each child by name with genuine affection, creating a nurturing and welcoming environment. The bond the teachers develop with the children is clearly visible, and we always felt confident that our son was in good hands. A special thank you to Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Tanya, who were his teachers during his first year. They played a crucial role in helping him transition smoothly into daycare life and made that big adjustment much easier for all of us. In his second year, Ms. Emily and Ms. Becki continued this wonderful care. A huge shoutout to Ms. Emily, who greeted Hrishikesha every morning with a big hug--something that made daily drop-offs so much smoother. She also guided him through potty training, encouraged him to try new foods, and supported his language development with such patience and care. The school is led by the ever-approachable Ms. Darlene, whose thoughtful insights and regular updates about our child's development were always appreciated. The biannual assessments covering physical, language, and social development were thorough and shared thoughtfully during PTMs. We also loved the many memorable events and celebrations--from the Halloween parade and Christmas performance to Easter egg hunts and birthday celebrations. Even little touches like photo day every six months made our time at Little Mud Puddles extra special. We wholeheartedly recommend Little Mud Puddles to any family seeking a safe, loving, and joyful environment for their child. It truly was a second home for Hrishikesha, and we're so grateful for the love and care he received there.
