Our son started at Little Sunshine when he was 6 months old (now almost 2 years old) and choosing…read moreLSHD has been one of the best decisions we made as first time parents. We have considered moving out of Sunnyvale to be closer to our workplaces, but each time we go back to not wanting our son to change schools and wanting to be close to Little Sunshine if we have a second child. Here are my favorite things about LSHD: Loving and supportive environment - Cecilia, Yuri, Mari and Ana love and care for our son as if he was part of their own family. I was sad and nervous to leave my baby when my maternity leave ended, and knowing he was in a loving environment that was as close to being loved on at home was one of the only consolations. The team provides our son with homemade, delicious meals that he eats each day, despite barely eating anything we make at home. When he was a baby, they diligently followed our feeding requests and warmed breast milk brought from home and worked on introducing solids. Our son is very spirited and at times has had challenges sharing, taking turns, shouting etc. and they have worked with him on these skills with the utmost patience and support for his individual development. Cleanliness - Cecilia's home is incredibly clean and filled with colorful, engaging toys. I don't want to jinx it, but our son has also avoided any major illnesses commonly picked up at daycare and has not been sick constantly which we were very afraid of when starting child care. He also comes home clean every day, but on the weekends we probably go through two -three outfits a day! Not sure how they do it. Knowledgable - As other reviewers have stated, Cecilia is so empathetic and encouraging for first time parents. She will work through any concerns you may have for your child while carefully listening and offering gentle advice and reassurance. The staff has had over a decade of experience with so many children so it is invaluable to hear their perspective on any concerns you may have. Play based learning - I was not someone who was looking for an academic environment for my very young child and instead valued a loving and caring space for him to play and naturally learn. Our son has exceeded all my expectations for what he could know before the age of two. He can count and say his colors in English and Spanish, has learned about days of the week and the calendar, and can recognize individual letters and the sounds they make. Reliable and open communication - I think in 1.5 years there has been one single day of unplanned closure due to a power outage. They share their vacation schedule well in advance so you can appropriately plan. They share photos and text updates that make my day while at work. I highly recommend Little Sunshine Daycare for anyone looking for a safe, reliable, loving, nurturing and clean home environment for your child. Cecilia is truly passionate about early childhood education and care and I feel so lucky she provides this service to our community.

They've taken such good care of him, and he's formed a lovely bond with everyone. It's been a joy to watch him grow and learn from their care and teaching. We really appreciate the high standards of cleanliness, safety, and no-screens approach. These were the clear differentiators when were hunting for the perfect daycare. Ms Cici is a prompt communicator and gives us regular updates. As first-time parents, I can honestly say that they've been true partners every step of the way. We'd highly recommend Little Sunshine to anyone considering!

Belen and her family are incredibly warm, loving, and attentive. They took wonderful care of our son--especially with his food allergies--and we always felt he was safe and in caring hands. Communication was excellent: they checked in each morning and shared thoughtful updates throughout the day. As a bonus, he even picked up some Spanish! The space is consistently clean and welcoming, with a lovely backyard playground. The homemade meals are fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully adapted when needed--honestly, he often ate better there than at home. They also celebrate birthdays and special moments, making every child feel seen and loved. It truly feels like an extended family. We're so grateful for the care and love our son received here and highly recommend Belen's Childcare.

When he first started at age 1, he couldn't even walk. Now at 3.5, he is running, talking in 3 languages (Mandarin, Cantonese & English), cackling and such a happy little boy. Sina has guided him through every milestone, and I trust her 100% with my baby. She genuinely loves and cares for each of the kids under her care, and my son has truly thrived. He's barely gotten sick if ever from daycare due to Sina's care (and great protocols during COVID), and he loves to eat Sina's delicious and nutritious cooking. She provided all the utensils cups etc so everything was super easy for us. She also shared tons of adorable pics and videos of the kids regularly. Given the small class size, each kid is able to enjoy a lot of attention and care. Her pricing is extremely fair and affordable, and she is a wonderful, kind and reasonable person. We plan to send my daughter to Sina as well next year after my maternity leave. I highly recommend Sina and Grace Daycare to anyone who's looking for a reliable, cozy & loving home-based bilingual daycare in Sunnyvale!

On the tour Giovanna was so warm and welcoming, our son felt comfortable with her and the space so much quicker than he usually does in new places. The transition was hard for us though which is typical, he would cry at drop-off the first week but Giovanna would send so many pictures and updates throughout the day. She was so patient and understanding of all our concerns. After the transition period ended, he would ask to go to "school" in the mornings and would rush in the door without even saying goodbye. He was always happy at pickup time too when we'd see the children laughing and playing together outside. All the teachers were so kind and loving towards him. I was also so impressed by how much he was learning! Becuase of the mixed age group, he learned so much from the older children that I didn't even think he was capable of at his young age! we are so eternally grateful for his time at the Rising Stars and all the love and hard work the teachers put in. We only left because we moved out of state, but otherwise we would've kept him there until school age.

After five wonderful years, it's hard to put into words just how much this place has meant to our family. The daycare truly felt like a family to us. Johana and her team are incredible--they have a unique way of keeping the kids happy, creating an environment where they learn to be kind, respectful, and well-behaved, also progressing quickly in letters, numbers, words. Both my kids became fluent in Spanish without any of us speaking Spanish at home. We never had to worry about anything; they took care of everything, from providing nutritious meals to organizing fun parties, including unforgettable birthday celebrations and even the beautiful graduation ceremony. As our son graduates, we look back on these years with deep gratitude. This daycare isn't just a place where children go; it's a community where they thrive. We highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, caring, and enriching environment for their child.

Update (08/2024) My…read moreson just graduated out of My Little Busy Bees (he's starting Kindergarten in the fall). I've been reflecting a lot on our experience here, and just wanted to say "Thanks" again to the whole staff for making this such an amazing place for the kids. When we started here, we were excited for our kiddo to learn Spanish. He not only learned a ton of Spanish, but also reading, writing, math, and an appreciation for different kinds of foods! Johana and team helped him with potty training and social skills, and celebrated big milestones along the way. He's been so lucky to have had this daycare experience. The community of parents and kids here is supportive, involved and generous of spirit. We're so sad to have to say goodbye. Our family is eternally grateful. If you have a chance to send your kids here, I would grab the opportunity. It's been life changing for our kiddo.

At his previous daycare, my son wouldn't nap at all but has napped peacefully almost every day at Neeta ji's daycare. My son would eat much more consistently at daycare than at home. He is not even 3 and knows all the continents. We loved how they did so many activities and went to park whenever weather permitted. My son was speech delayed initially but now exceeds his age, all thanks to the support Neeta ji has provided. Neetaji and her helper teachers have helped with our son's special needs in a way I don't even trust my parents to do (search for Epidermolysis Bullosa, it's intense). They never made us or our son feel different in any way. We moved away from Sunnyvale to San Jose 10months ago and have commuted everyday for 2h only so that we could drop our son at her place. We couldn't have been more thankful to Neetaji for all the love and care she provides to the kids.

Details: -Owned by Nasly Castano and accompanied by teachers Paola and Daniela. Nasly has 20 years of daycare experience. -Spanish speaking daycare. I speak very little Spanish and have had no problem communicating with the teachers via spanglish, Google translate, and WhatsApp. -Located in Sunnyvale on Berkshire Ave -Hours 8:00-5:30 -Combination of delicious, homemade Colombian and American food Other perks: -Nasly does a parent's night out once a month on Fridays for $20 an hour. She does this as an opportunity for parents to have a date night or go out with friends, and plans a fun night of activities and dinner for the kids. This has come in handy multiple times in the last two years! -An amazing network of daycare families that support each other. -Nasly throws individual birthday parties for the kiddos on their birthdays with banners, food, and even a gift. This all comes out of her own pocket! -Fiestas on all holidays! -Newly remodeled turf backyard (pictures attached!) Nasly and teachers are literally the KINDEST and most wonderful people. Our son has thrived at daycare and practically leapt from my arms at times to go inside at drop off. Nasly and I both cried when I told her we were moving because she truly loves the kids at her daycare like her own.

She eats and sleeps really well and talks about seeing her friends every morning. And whenever I pick her up she's happy and excited to show me any worksheets or art activities she worked on that day. I also appreciate the daily communication through WhatsApp to let us know how she did that day, get photos, and ask any questions.

This is the place where she learned how to walk, eat, talk, sing, dance, play puzzles. It really felt like a family. Priya's daughter was her big sister and she would call her name when she needed help at home. My daughter was loved and she had so much fun outside the school hours too. She enjoyed the swing and bike ride to the park after school. We are truly thankful for the last 22 months she was here. We could not have possibly asked for more. If you are considering, we highly recommend Kindy Winkle's. p.s. my daughter loves the lunch here. The lunch here isn't just pizza, mac and cheese.
