My son started at Kindy Winkles when he was 17 months old and stayed until he was 3 years old. From the very beginning, it felt like a second home for him. He loved going there so much that he even wanted to go on weekends! He made wonderful friends, and the teachers were always warm, accommodating, and caring. What sets Kindy Winkles apart is that it's not just a daycare--it's activity-based, fun, and full of learning opportunities. The food is freshly prepared every day and is both healthy and tasty. When my son first joined, he didn't know any English or much else, but during his time there he learned so much and grew tremendously. We truly miss this place and are grateful for the nurturing environment it provided. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a loving, safe, and enriching space for their little one. read more

We will greatly miss the teachers and the family as we move abroad. We had our 1st daughter go to Kindy Winkles since she was 10 months old. We started half a day from 9am to 1:30pm for the first 2 months until she turned 1. She was still crawling at that time but Priya and everyone welcomed and helped her adapt quickly. 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. They have someone cook home style meal every day and have it delivered. read more

Kindy winkles has been an amazing daycare/preschool experience for my kid for the past 2 years, more like a second home for him. All the teachers were extremely caring and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment for all the children. The kids had a structured schedule in place, specially through art, music, dance and other art forms, which the kids enjoyed through the day. There was a balance between playtime, learning activities, and rest time. They had a curriculum in place to prep each kid for kindergarten. Each day, my kid came home excited to share what he had learned and experienced during the day. Another positive aspect of the home daycare/preschool experience was the emphasis on healthy meals and snacks. Priya ensured that the children were provided with nutritious meals, incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains food. Lunch and snacks were provided and this helped my kid develop healthy eating habits. Communication was excellent. Priya and the teachers provided regular updates about my child's day, including any milestones or concerns. I also appreciated that she was open to discussing any specific needs or preferences I had for my child's care. My kid graduated to pre-kindergarten. His overall transition has been a breeze, kindy winkles has prepared him so well. He is already missing his friends, teachers and his second home for the past 2 yrs. Overall, I highly recommend the home daycare/preschool. read more

Great daycare. Caring teachers. Really lucked out on finding this day care.

Best day care in Sunnyvale area :) My daughter loved going here. GunaPriya and Miss Bushra are amazing, caring, loving teacher.

Our son absolutely loved Priya and all the teachers at Kindy Winkles. There wasn't a day where I din't have to coax and bribe him to come back home. He learnt a lot there - about musical instruments, songs, learnt to color (almost within the lines for a 2.5 year old), phonetics, dance etc. Our son is an extremely fussy eater, but ate very well at school and also started eating himself. We were extremely disappointed to leave Kindy Winkles, but had to do so because we moved out of the neighborhood. I would strongly recommend it!. read more

My son was the first one to join Kindy winkles in 2013. When I first talked to Priya over phone, although she was starting a new daycare I felt that I should visit in person and I found a real gem. I had no second thoughts when I walked out and you can imagine as a mom sending an 8 month as a first kid to a new daycare. I stopped my search same day and from day 1 he started at Kindywinkles, he loved it. We liked that she brings something different to the childcare environment with her focus on art and music. Priya is extremely patient and makes sure each kid eats properly and provides an update when you pick up. Words can't describe how caring and affectionate Priya is. If you are lucky enough to find this daycare, rest is assured. read more

I only spent a couple of hours at their daycare and sharing my experience. We realized that it wasn't a good fit for us and wanna share the experience so people can make their own judgments. Other parents have who sent their kids there full-time probably have a better sense of where things stand net-net. First, the owner is great! She is very thoughtful, flexible and you can clearly see that the kids love her. I loved that they had a piano that she plays. The kids looked happy! I am not so convinced about the other teachers on a few things. 1- one time the teachers were doing an art activity with marbles! Marbles -- one of the big choking hazards. There were kids as young as 1 around. The teachers controlled the activity but still you never know what happens in a second. The biggest question: why take the risk?! There are plenty of other art activities. The owner over the phone said that they would stop doing activities with marbles (which is great!) but knowing that they had one to begin with gave me a pause. Note that none of other parents mention dangers etc so likely there aren't more things like that. 2- This one is very parent dependent -- some parents want their kids to be coaxed to eat and others don't. We are in the latter category to the extreme that we don't mention to our kid which food is "good" vs "bad", or that one has to eat the "healthy" one to get the "unhealthy" one. We try to keep eating times as stress free as possible. It felt like the teachers were trying to coax a couple of kids to eat. Once they said to a kid that he's not gonna get pizza unless he eats apple and were holding the apple slices near his mouth as he was crying. The other kids were watching this happen. It went on for a few mins. It felt stressful to me. When I brought this up with one of the teachers that "we don't force our kid to eat", she said "in my class also, we don't force a kid to eat" defensively (which is good to know but I felt the above would be close to that line? again, very subjective opinion.) It's likely the parents of some kids asked the above for their kid (the owner seems very accommodating and flexible!), but I feel other kids also watch and learn. A couple of things I learned that I should have asked explicitly about: 1- time outs 2- snack list Overall, I think the teachers were caring and loving, but a few things were dealbreakers for us (may it isn't for you). read more

We loved everything about Kindly Winkles. We started when my son was around 2 and half years (after not being happy in the first day care, we wish we had found this place earlier) and value finding a good place like kindy winkles where you feel your little one is in safe hands. The day care is focussed on teaching music, craft and arts. Daily circle time, show and tell, exposure to different languages, science experiments, carnatic music class, musical instruments, dance class and the list just goes on:) The teachers are super caring, very knowledgable. The place is really well kept - clean and spacious. Priya provides good healthy snacks and milk in the evening and its priceless. Its so comforting to know your kid has eaten something before you pick up and drive back home. Still in touch with other kids and families. We had a great time with kindy winkles, fond memories to cherish forever and would highly recommend this place. read more

Kindy Winkles has amazing teachers with so much kindness and caring mindset. It's wonderful seeing our daughter getting excited about going to daycare everyday. I can see the growth and learning in my daughter everyday, thanks to Ms. Gunapriya, Ms. Bushra, Ms. Kusuma, Ms. Sangita and Ms. Brenna. You know it's an amazing place when the kids don't want to leave at pick up time. If I could give this school 10 stars, I would :) read more

Kindy Winkles has become like an extension to family for us. Located in a very kid friendly location close to a huge park makes it very convenient. Our son has picked up his communication skills and has learnt to keep his surroundings clean thanks to the daycare. The teachers are very caring and give a lot of personal attention to each kid and provides lot of feedback to parents as well. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions I am more than willing to answer. read more

Kindy has been my daughter's home away from home while my husband and I work during the day. My daughter has been going to Kindy for over 3 years now. She fell in love with the wonderful care the loving teachers, Priya, Tamara, Bushra, Sangita and Kusuma provided her! Priya always went the extra mile to ensure that Kindy is the best teaching and playing environment that a child could have! My daughter learnt how to read, write, sing Carnatic songs, dance ballet and came back full of smiles and beautiful art work from Kindy! We cherish all the beautiful memories we have and continue to make with the Kindy family. I look forward to having my son join Kindy Winkles once he is ready for day care. Thank you Kindy Winkles for all that you do each day to make our daughter blossom! read more

We loved this day care for our little daughter. She started at this school when she was 18 months old and she enjoyed going to her day care and the teachers here are very friendly and take good care of kids. What we loved about this day care is that they serve snacks prepared at home. They serve organic milk and ensure that kids eat properly. My daughter has learnt so much in the 1.5 years that she was there. She enjoyed Carnatic music classes and dance lessons. Our daughter still misses this school and talks about it even now. And Priya and Anand are simply amazing. We miss them a lot! We would highly recommend Kindy Winkles to anyone who is looking for a good day care for their little ones! read more

We had our daughter go over to Kindy Winkles for about 2.5 years. She had an amazing experience just like us, forming close bonds with the other kids who came over there, and their families. Kindy Winkles actually became a group of close friends, whom we keep meeting even after our daughter has moved to kindergarten. The teachers were great, and the environment was very kind and loving for both kids & their families. I'd strongly recommend Kindy Winkles. read more

Kindy Winkles is a wonderful daycare that has been a second home to my daughter for almost two years now. All the teachers are very caring, kind and do their best to provide a nurturing environment for the kids. Their day is well planned with lots of activities filled with arts, crafts, music, dance, story time and outside playtime. I feel this really helps children play, learn and be their creative selves. The teachers give importance to nap time and always follow a set routine which makes sure the kids get their beauty sleep everyday with no interruptions. Snack time is a healthy affair with organic milk, lots of fruits and occasional treats. The daycare is kept very clean and there's lots of space for the kids to run around. There's even a piano which the teachers play everyday during circle time. Priya makes sure to organize events regularly so the parents can also socialize and mingle. Everyday my daughter looks forward to playing with her friends and is so excited to get there as early as possible. I highly recommend Kindy Winkles to anyone looking for a home away from home for their little ones! read more

We visited Kindy Winkles in late June and were very impressed by setup that Priya has. Her place is clean and very well maintained. She has both indoor and outdoor play areas, a separate dining area and we found the environment very safe and secure. Priya herself was very warm and polite. We liked that she brings something different to the childcare environment with her focus on art and music. We haven't decided on a full time daycare for our child yet, but Kindy Winkles is one that we are strongly considering. read more

We love Kindy Winkles. Our son started there when he was 18 months old. We recently moved out of Sunnyvale area and we miss them immensely. The teachers here put a lot of thoughts in curriculum which at this stage is arts, music and dance. Most of the teachers here play piano and my son have started to appreciate classical music. They have a real piano and many kids size musical instruments. We are amazed to see the arts and crafts projects they make. They have a big backyard for kids to play outside. Most of the activities and toys are for developing gross and fine motor skills. They have weekly once dance class and Karnatic music class by professionals. Fresh fruits, vegetables (cucumber, carrots etc.), organic milk and homemade sandwiches and pizzas are provided during snack time. We really like the student to teacher ratio. There are always 2-3 teachers for 10-12 kids. All the teachers are very nurturing and kids love them. They make sure kids eat properly which is a big relief for parents. Priya and Anand provides a nice social platform for parents to interact with each other. We have made good friends with parents of other kids and love to be part of the events they plan throughout the year, including summer picnics, holiday celebrations, evening outs for moms'/dads' group. This is perfect daycare for the kids to learn, grow and make long lasting friends. read more

I started my kid early last week. He has transitioned very well and quickly. Very clean and spacious. Lot of emphasis on arts and crafts. So far happy with playschool read more

I am glad I found Kindy Winkles for my son. Everyday he is excited to go to Kindy Winkles. She is creative, and fun teacher. She gives attention to each and every kid. Even my elder daughter(7 years) old wants to go to her when ever she gets break from her. Both husband and wife give attention to the kids as if they are their own kids. Its a safe, happy, family and playful day care. Cool thing I get his daily report with a cool picture of his. I would highly recommend Kindy Winkles. read more

As a first time mother I was so nervous to send my kid to a daycare. But Kindy Winkles is a home away from home. My son loved to go to Priya's place and enjoyed circle time, art, story session and outdoor/ in-door activities. Ms.Tamara meticulously plans circle time each day and she helped my son with language development to a great extent. Priya and her team brings out variety of structured/unstructured activities which kids enjoy without getting bored. Ms. Bushra is creative with her artistic ideas and my son liked art sessions with her. I liked interacting with Priya especially during pick up time, she observes each kid and loves them in her own way. Above all, I felt my son is in safe hands. I would highly recommend her place. read more

We had our little one start here when he was 14 months and he is turning 3 shortly. We have really lucked out with our daycare needs.

My son enjoys his time at the day care! He is fond of all his teachers and loves his friends. Kids are exposed to art, music, dance and motor skills as part of their daily routine. I've been amazed by all the skills (social and fine motor) my son has picked up here. Once every few months, there is a meet-up at a park etc that allow kids to interact in a different environment than they are used to. read more

We are extremely happy with the care and activities she provides. My son(2.5) always looks forward to going to his "Priya Auntie", he loves her and her daycare. He has been going there for 8 months now. He very much enjoys there. She offers variety of activities (music, art, craft, yoga, outdoor play, books ... ) She is amazingly creative, artistic, and she provides very age-appropriate, variety of toys and activities. Her daycare feels like a big loving family. You will be amazed at the creations they make with their little hands with Priya.
