This is a long overdue review but I sent my 11 month old to Shim's daycare and this place is…read moreamazing! It's clean and tidy, they have sleeping area and play area for the kids.

As busy working parents, we usually feel a bit too busy to write reviews about anything, good or…read morebad. But this time we do feel the urge to review and recommend Discovery World, the best childcare and preschool in South Bay Area! We originally toured DW in 2022 when our daughter was 18 months old. But because of their waitlist at that time, we decided to go to another daycare in this area. A huge mistake we really wish we hadn't made (a terrible experience for our little one and us parents too. We had to pull her out there after only one month). Fortunately our baby was able to join DW in 2023/08. Everything is different here. Experienced teachers, friendly staff, fun activities, and so much more! What really impressed us and drew contrast to other preschool is, how loving and caring everyone is at DW. Our daughter was shy at drop off. Every morning, the teachers (thank you Ms. Julie and Ms. Iana) would come greet her and hug her to help her ease into the classroom!!! Every teacher and staff knows every child very well, chats and plays with them. Teachers from different classrooms all learn about every student's hobbies (thanks Ms. Marni for reading "panda book" to our baby) and even their stuffie (they know the names of my daughter's TY "Jenni" kitties:-)). DW communicates with parents all the time (photos and videos every day, several teacher-parent conferences every year). DW offers great curriculum and the teacher execute very well. And DW organize the best activities (playing basketball at The LAB is my daughter's favorite). There are so much more to say about DW... We can't thank you enough Ms. Liana and your whole DW team for the amazing work in our little ones' early education!!!

Our son started at Discovery World when he was 4 months old and recently "graduated" after turning…read more4 and entering TK. Discovery World was such a blessing during his earliest years; he thrived and had wonderful relationships with all his teachers, who always took sincere interest in his well-being and development. They communicated with us often and were always more than happy to give us updates and anecdotes about his day. Discovery World also prepared him well for the move to "real" school, working with him on academic development (e.g., recognizing letters and numbers) and on social development (e.g., articulating feelings and resolving conflict). We've been so happy with Discovery World that we got our daughter on the waitlist before she was born. She's now attending as well, and whenever we pick her up our son's former teachers always ask about him. We're grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our children to spend their preschool years and very much appreciate the thoughtfulness and dedication of the Discovery World teachers and staff.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am that I found this school--not only for my daughter, but…read morefor myself as well. The community is incredibly supportive, and the teachers truly cannot be beat! They see each child as an individual and take a personalized approach to helping them learn and grow. It's clear that so much care, thought, and heart goes into everything they do. Watching my daughter grow in confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm so excited to continue watching her grow and thrive here. Cannot recommend PV Hills Nursery School enough!!

We first met when she cared for our friends children, so without hesitation we chose Busy Bee Daycare for our daughter. She provides a fun, stimulating and positive home enviroment for the kids. She is dedicated to the children and families and builds strong bonds with them. Her home is clean and organized and her backyard outdoor area is a perfect place for the children to run around and play. She provides home cooked, well balanced healthy meals for the children. Young children thrive on consistency, routine and structure and she provides all of these. Snack, outdoor play, lunch, nap, etc...are always at the same time each day, so the children know exactly what to expect. Our daughter loves going to Ziba's, often times not wanting to leave. Busy Bee Daycare is a great place for kids to feel happy and at home. We couldn't ask for anything more!

A few things to consider before leaving your child here. Parking for drop off and pick up is…read morehorrible; the house is on a narrow street with very limited parking. The owners don 't leave enough parking available so be prepared to wait. Also, the side of their house looks like it went through a fire. I visit friends nearby often and it has been like that for at least a year and a half. I can only imagine what the inside looks like. Finally, I can't count the number of times I've heard kids crying or even screaming when I go by. I would not subject my kids to that.

Since enrolling our daughter 2 years ago, we've seen such incredible growth in her--both socially and developmentally. She's become more confident, communicative, and curious, and it's been so rewarding to watch her thrive in this environment. The teachers and staff truly make this place special. They are warm, patient, and incredibly dedicated to the children in their care. It's clear how much effort and heart they put into what they do every single day. We especially appreciate the balance they maintain--while they keep parents informed and updated, their main focus is rightfully on caring for and engaging with the kids. We understand that constant, hourly updates aren't realistic in a hands-on environment like this, and it honestly reassures us that their time and attention are going toward the children. We always feel that our daughter is safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. The communication we do receive is thoughtful and meaningful, and we trust the team completely. You can truly tell that this school puts a lot of thought into creating a positive and enriching environment. We're so grateful to have found a place where our daughter is happy, learning, and growing every day. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a loving and supportive daycare! We would like to mention every person who has helped in our daughter's development and character: Thank you to Teacher Charlie and Ms. Diana.

My child has been attending this school since July last year. The building is new which is nice but…read morethey're the most expensive in the area and charge extra for care during the school breaks. The kids also have to go to the sister school during those breaks which is inconvenient. However, we left after a lot of other negative experiences there. Over the past nine months, we've gone through three clinical directors, multiple long-time beloved staff/teachers quitting, multiple visits/violations from the California state department for reports of children not having access to water, older kids being forced to take naps and classrooms being out of ratio (aka teachers having over the limit of kids in a classroom). This is all public information and I encourage parents to review it. Today was the last straw as police were called to the school when a staff member and the director Ms Mary were yelling/arguing in front of the children. We no longer felt this was a safe place for our child and removed them immediately. Extremely disappointing and heartbreaking that this happened in front of kids. I do not recommend this school or the sister school (South Bay Montessori) because they are run by the same director.

Most importantly, when we visited, we noticed that the children seemed genuinely happy-exploring as they liked-and the parents that happened to be there were welcoming as well. The environment was even more impressive because of the warmth of the teachers. Pacific Sage gives a sense of calm while encouraging organic learning via play. We have been on many, many tours, and this is absolutely one of our favorite preschools; our daughter seemed to truly enjoy the experience. It is especially excellent for those families that are interested in a non-traditional approach to education and who treasure comfortability and growth of the entire child.

PS is a warm, loving, fun environment that is very child led. I was always pleased with the developmental appropriateness of the whole approach. My child walked away with high confidence, strong social emotional skills, and great friendships. There is no formal teaching so if you want your child to do worksheets or repetitive practice of letters of numbers, this isn't the school for you. If you want your child to be wild and free, and to learn through playing, adventuring, and interacting, then you will love this place.

A Concerned Parent's Experience…read more I've heard it said that you should occasionally show up at your child's school unannounced--because that's when you truly see what's going on. I'm sharing my recent experience in that spirit, as a caution to current and prospective parents. I'm the mother of a 5-year-old and a 22-month-old. During a visit to New Horizons, my daughters were quietly playing with rocks outside a classroom when a teacher came out and scolded them. The issue wasn't that she asked them not to play with the rocks--it was how she addressed them. Her tone was harsh, her voice raised, and she slammed the door before coming back out again, this time yelling directly at my 22-month-old. She then turned to me and shouted, "Are you going to make her clean that up?" I remained calm, cleaned up the rocks, and apologized. But her demeanor throughout was aggressive and unsettling--not only toward my children but also in the presence of the class she was supervising. What I witnessed was deeply troubling. If I saw a teacher at my child's school behave this way toward any child, let alone a toddler exploring the world, I would be seriously concerned. I left that day feeling fearful for the well-being of the children in her care. I share this not out of anger, but out of a sense of responsibility. Please do your research. Speak with other parents. Ask questions. Because what I saw raised serious red flags about the environment at this school--and about who is being entrusted to guide and care for very young children.

Our boys are happy to go to school and are always in the best of spirits at pick up. They truly work with you to make sure everyone is thriving...it means so much to us. Could not recommend this school more!
