What we love about the Schoolhouse is that they treat our little ones like we are all family. The teachers are very loving and have been with us through many of my toddler's milestones, and even helped us navigate these transitions as new parents. They emphasize learning through creative play, and they also have structures and routines in place to give our little ones the consistency they need. They have routines for each day of the week, including Art Day which is where my daughter made these pieces. We couldn't imagine our children being anywhere else for this critical period of their lives.

We knew Building Kidz when we drove past and we also searched them by Yelp to realized they are a…read morepreschool. My daughter enrolled in Building Kidz of Hayward last year in September. This school is truly my daughter's second home. She loves coming here everyday, and we can see how she has grown since joining the school. They have an app that updates children's activities and routines, and generates a daily report sending to parents' emails, which made parents feel included and rest assured. This was one of the key factors behind our initial decision to choose this school. The teachers and staffs are caring, patient and truly dedicated to the children and always communicate well with parents. This is my daughter's first school. The first month of her school, she cried every day because she didn't know English and Spanish, and staying in an unfamiliar environment for long hours a day was a big challenge for her. Director Ms. Anabel and my daughter's teacher teacher Rosa kept communicating with us and help my daughter feel comfortable. When we dropped off early in the morning, Ms. Mary and Ms. Lori always give hand. Thank you for all the love and patience during this hard time. Since the second month, she doesn't cry at school anymore. After three months, she takes the initiative to interact with her teacher teacher Rosa. My daughter gradually picked more English and a little bit Spanish. She enjoys her school life. We especially appreciate how teacher Rosa took the time to understand my daughter's needs and help her grow at her own pace. We feel very lucky that our daughter is surrounded by such wonderful teachers and friends every day. The school creates safe and warm environment where children can learn, play and build confidence. Now my daughter knows all 26 Alphabets, numbers from 1-100, different shapes and colors, and she can do very simple math. She also can write her name fluently. She also showed me how she played monkey bar fluently at the school's playground when I picked her up. It's amazing how quickly she learns in this school. She knows "sharing is caring". She gives a hug when her friend cry. She has positive attitude. Once we did craft work together, an unexpected situation happened. I was surprised that she said it's ok mom, don't be upset, I will fix it. I will make you happy. She said it in English. At that moment, I was so glad what she learned from this preschool. Now, she's graduated and ready to go to kindergarten. She can speak, sing and dance in front of audience. Even though her performance is not perfect, it's an amazing progress she made. Thank you for all the love, care, and effort the teachers and staffs put into the children. Highly recommend this preschool!

We enrolled our son at Building Kidz Hayward after a difficult experience at another preschool, and…read morethe difference was incredible from day one. The staff here truly care. They took the time to introduce themselves, answer our questions, and make both my son and our family feel welcome and supported. My son had a tough time adjusting at first, but instead of giving up on him, the teachers worked with patience, compassion, and consistency. They communicated with us regularly, kept us updated in real-time, and always made us feel included in his progress. Even on hard days, we felt reassured that he was in good hands. The classrooms are clean, warm, and well-organized. The activities are engaging and thoughtfully planned. But most importantly, the teachers are nurturing and invested in each child's emotional and developmental growth. Now, our son is thriving. He is confident, happy, and ready to start kindergarten. We truly believe Building Kidz helped heal the negative experience he had before and turned his early education into something positive and empowering. We're so thankful to the entire team especially Ms. Marina, Ms. Hilda, Ms. Anabel and Ms. Rosa at Building Kidz. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, family-oriented and enriching environment for their child. Also, my son loved the food here and always ate the snacks and lunch that he wouldn't normally even eat at home. A huge plus!!

As a mother of three, I have experience with several childcare providers, and Sharina's stands out. From our very first visit, we felt a sense of ease; unlike other home daycares we toured, there was no pressure, just a genuinely welcoming environment. The facility is an in-home daycare, but it is incredibly spacious and thoughtfully organized into four distinct areas: The Main Activity Area: Used for focused work, crafts, and meals. The Gross Motor Space: A dedicated nap area that doubles as an indoor play space which is a lifesaver on rainy days! The Quiet Room: A cozy spot perfect for reading and calmer activities. The Outdoors: A fantastic, well-maintained yard with artificial grass, a play structure, a playhouse, and plenty of ride-on toys. Sharina and her wonderful team, Hassina, Radha, and Priyanka, are truly exceptional. They care for the children as if they were their own. My son is thriving; he has learned to feed himself, his vocabulary is growing, and he loves socializing with both his peers and the older children. I also deeply appreciate the consistent communication. Sharina sends regular photo updates, which makes it so easy to stay connected to his progress throughout the day. My husband and I couldn't be happier or more grateful to have found such a nurturing community for our son.

This is not a review of the daycare program itself but rather of the "application" process…read more If you are thinking about sending your baby or child to this daycare, I would think twice about paying the deposit. I was 3 months pregnant when my husband and I found his growing grove. We put down a deposit for about $250 to "apply" for the daycare program with the goal of sending our child here at 4 months old. We were basically applying one year in advance. They told us they would give us updates on when there was an opening. We didn't get the update that there was an opening until March 2024. It's hard to believe that there was no opening (i.e., not one single infant in the program learned to walk and got moved to the toddler program during our six month waiting period). Our main problem is with the deposit. The deposit does not save you a place in line and it is not refundable. It merely gets you on a list of people to be contacted when there is an opening and then it's a free-for-all to see who submits the final paperwork first. The most reasonable approach would be to not pay anything until there is an opening and then submit the fee with all of the paperwork at that time. Unless time is not a factor to you and you have daycare somewhere else, you should not rely on there being an opening here. It's basically a lottery and you are potentially throwing away your money. We found another daycare that allowed us to send our child on the exact day we requested from the beginning. This daycare had less kids and was able to give more attention to my child.

I am normally not a vocal person, especially not on Yelp; however, as a mother, I feel compelled to…read moreshare my personal experiences with this organization so to provide a broader perspective for potential families who are also looking for a day care center for their children. My husband and I have a 22-month old daughter and it was our intention to send her to pre-school when she turns two years old. Knowing how difficult it is to secure a spot in a good pre-school, we started searching for one when she was only 4 months old (around November 2015). We found HGG, among others, on Yelp. Like many parents, we attended orientation sessions and opening houses. At the end, we narrowed down to 2 centers and since HGG was able to promise us a spot in writing to the Little Lamb class when she turns 2 in September 2017, we also committed ourselves by putting down a $250 deposit in January 2016. Lone and behold, around September of 2016, we found out that we were expecting our second child in May 2017. After much consideration, we also decided to enrol our unborn child to HGG to the toddler program for December 2017 and put in another $250 deposit in December 2016 to secure a spot. Between January 2017 and April 2017, I have been in close contact with the enrolment officer at HGG and in each conversation, I have always been reassured that they have a spot for both my kids at the date they have previously promised. Without any prior notice, I received a deposit refund of $250 in the mail in early May 2017. I called HGG right away to find out if there has been a mistake. It turns out that the enrolment for my baby to their infant class for December 2017 has been turned down and the only explanation given was because of a mix up in their administration (over-booking of babies to their toddler class). With only one week away from the due date of my unborn baby, they had put us under tremendous stress as both my husband and I have already committed to our respective employers our back-to-work plan under the assumption that we are able to send our baby to HGG by December 2017. In addition, when I tried to confirm the enrolment of my 22-month old daughter for September 2017 on the same call, we also found out that they have to postpone her for another year (i.e. until September 2018). By that time, I was furious. If I have not asked, no one at the center would have told us and we would be in deep trouble by the time September 2017 comes around. I apologize for the long read but I do feel strongly about my experiences. I have lost total faith in the school. We cannot help but to speculate whether there were any unfair preferences (i.e. over ethnicity, religion preferences, parents' occupation, etc) for the applicants on the waiting list. It does not matter how well-equipped the facility is, how great the programs are and how attentive the teachers may be, if the administration is run so poorly, as a mother who plans to be an involved parent for my children, I have serious doubts on how well the center is actually being run, which will directly affect the learning environment for my children. There is definitely disappointment for not being able to enrol my children to the school but my above comment arises solely from my frustration of the poor communication from the school administration. I encourage other parents who have also received their unexpected refund deposit in their mail to come forward to also share their experiences on Yelp since I am certain I am not the first and won't be the last.

Unfortunately, we made left in November 2024 because I got a new job in the ECE field and was able to take my son with me. Long story short, it did not work out for my son, so I brought him back to Bubbly Tots in August 2025. It's almost been 3 months since he's returned and he has had so much success thanks to the wonderful staff and the amazing structure and activities they provide for the children. I cannot thank Ms. Soni and her ENTIRE team for welcoming us back with open arms! My son shows an increased interest in writing, coloring, and loves going to school. He even looks forward to doing his homework! When we were gone for almost 8 months, he would still ask for his Bubbly Tot teachers (especially Ms. Maria). They have truly made him feel loved and cared for. On the weekends he asks me if he is going to school because he misses it. That alone tells me that they have made a huge positive impact on my son. His current teacher, Ms. Carolyn is amazing with my son has taught him humility, kindness, and instilling confidence in him. Words alone cannot express how grateful I am for Bubbly Tots. The area is so convenient, policies are very straight forward, they care about their children and families, and I always feel super comfortable dropping off my son to school, which is sadly rare to find in preschools and schools nowadays. Please check them out if you are considering preschool and want your child to receive the best care!
