Not only are my kids are strong with math, the one thing about Kumon is extremely helpful that people don't understand is that my kids have developed a very strong attention span towards working on a task. This will Ultimate help them with not shying away from what's in front of them one day in life ( I am a strong pbeliever in it). Another huge benefit of Kumon is repetitiveness. Students are required to do worksheets everyday and this triggers them at a young age to learn and adapt doing certain daily task per day and skipping it is no option. My wife and I literally go crazy make them do Kumon everyday - but we know it is all worth it. So how Christine will help: If you have been doing it for 30 years, you have seen enough kids that gone through there. The experience will her and her staffs will definitely help our kids to better themselves as they r giving more kids to work with and larger sample size to help. Lastly I believe her sons help with the business which is nice to hear this place as a family establishment. Bring your kids in and let them develop this skills asap

This is a review for Pace's mandarin immersion summer camp that my child attended for 3 weeks…read moreduring the summer of 2017. It was probably a bit much for any child to sit in a much smaller-than-expected classroom for a whole day for 3 weeks, but the educational themes sounded promising so we did it anyway. Unfortunately a few days into camp she came home telling us that there was a group of kids and their teacher who speak english in the same room including one child who would have fits and shout "bad words" all the time. When I brought this up to Jason, he told us that they take kids with special needs in additional to trying to run a mandarin immersion camp. While I think it's great that they were willing to take children with special needs, it's not particularly effective to put those 2 groups each with very distinct needs into a small, one-room space (the room looked to be about 450 sq ft max). Moreover, I was particularly frustrated when no action was taken to stop the obscenities (my child probably learned as much obscenities in english as she did chinese in those weeks). Each time Jason was informed that yet again, today was another day with foul language disrupting camp, his only response would be "I apologize for the foul language and have spoken with the teachers and parents about it. If the foul language does not stop, the camp will have to take appropriate needed steps as it violates our camp's code of conduct. We appreciate your patience and understanding as our camp tries to be inclusive." Perhaps we were too patient and understanding, as apparently no action was ever taken since the behavior continued throughout. This place was truly regrettable and I wish we could have taken our child out after that first week and spared her the obnoxious behavior she and the others were subjected to.

Bin Bin and Ben are incredibly well-organized and knowledgeable, and my son learned so much Mandarin. We speak English at home, but he's now able to converse comfortably with his grandparents in their native tongue--which has been really special. One thing I especially appreciated was getting daily updates on the curriculum along with photos of the day's activities. It made me feel connected and confident in what he was learning. When we ran into challenges with our child, the team was kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. They were always there with thoughtful support. They're also very active in SFUSD and shared a lot of expert insights with us about public Mandarin immersion programs, which I found incredibly helpful. I highly recommend Fun with Mandarin to anyone looking for warm, attentive care and high-quality Mandarin immersion.

My daughter attended over a year ago, and we still talk about the special memories made there. From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, patient, and truly understand early childhood development. They not only taught my child the basics--letters, numbers, shapes--but also encouraged kindness, independence, creativity, and confidence. The school is always clean, organized, and filled with fun, engaging materials. Every week brought exciting themes, hands-on activities, and adorable art projects that filled our walls at home. My child especially loved music time and outdoor play in the safe and spacious yard. Even after graduating, my child still asks to go back and visit. That says everything to me. Thank you, Little People Preschool, for giving our family such a positive start to our educational journey. If you're looking for a warm, enriching preschool in a caring environment, I highly recommend this gem of a school.

The facility is clean, safe, and organized, with great indoor and outdoor spaces. Our son LOVES the food and always eats well. Panda Garden has a weekly curriculum, with lots of seasonal, cultural and academic activities (including Moon Festival, New Years, gardening, the seasons, counting and so much more). They also take field trips to the local parks to help get that extra energy out. Panda Garden was recommended to us from a friend, and we are so glad that it was.

From day one, the staff created a warm, nurturing environment where our child felt safe, valued, and excited to learn. Watching her grow from a hesitant toddler into a confident, curious graduate ready for kindergarten has been incredible. The teachers go above and beyond to tailor learning to each child's unique personality, blending academic readiness with play-based discovery. We are so grateful for the wonderful community here and will deeply miss everyone as we move on to kindergarten! When our daughter first started at Retoños, she hadn't been diagnosed with autism or ADHD yet, as she was still so young. As time passed, we noticed she wasn't learning or speaking at the same pace as other children. Retoños went above and beyond to ensure she felt safe, comfortable, included, and truly happy alongside her peers. Karen, Jessica, Nancy, and Stephanie (who is no longer there) did such an incredible job supporting and teaching her. I am forever grateful for their dedication. I honestly don't know how we could have navigated those early years without them. Retoños is far more than just a preschool; it is a true community. They became like an extended family to us, and I will never forget the staff, the wonderful students, or the supportive parents we met along this journey. I highly recommend Retoños to any family looking for a loving, inclusive space for their children. I would love to share photos, but I want to respect the privacy of the other children and families. Honestly, the warm, supportive environment here is something you have to experience for yourself. Words and pictures don't do it justice. As far as value goes, what this school offers is truly priceless. No amount of money could ever repay what these incredible teachers at Retoños Schoolhouse have done for our family.
