Cindy came recommended from a friend and they also planned on brining their child during spring break as well. We toured the daycare on a weekend. From the beginning, Cindy was fast and communicative. The Daycare was small but it was very clean. No shoes inside, they provide all of the meals, they were understanding of my child's allergies, and most of all, Cindy made my daughter smile so much on her first day! Because it was short term, we paid a daily rate and felt the rate was very fair. Highly recommend this place! We feel great about having a flexible childcare option that is relatively close to us! Quick tip: You can block their drive way for pick up and drop offs. We only had to supply sheets and a blanket for her nap and water bottle. That's it!

We placed our daughter in Cindy's family daycare since she was 12 months up until she was a little…read moreover 3 years old. It is going to be a big transition with her no longer going to Cindy regularly. Sending our first child to daycare was not an easy decision for us, as our families are used to helping each other out in babysitting and not sending our babies and toddlers to daycare, but it truly ended up being one of the best decisions we made for our daughter at an early age. Noticing her social skills and eagerness to interact with other kids both at daycare and in social settings has become very rewarding. Cindy has the character of someone who truly cares about the development and growth of children. I can recognize these habits she instills in her daycare, easily by observing her and the children when I picked up my daughter after work and simply talking to her for just 5-10min with updates on both my own daughter and the other kids she takes care of. Cindy was also so accommodating in adding extra days in we would need for babysitting, even in such short notice. She sent pictures every so often, and provided us with the daily routine of what our daughter did/learned on the days she attended. We appreciated her outdoor space for our daughter to get some sunlight and play, the friends that she made there, the year-round holiday activities she would prepare for the kids, and the bilingual dialogue that Cindy would use to expose the kids to more than just English. We are currently expecting our second child, and we would easily choose Cindy to be part of our lives again in babysitting and caring for our children when needed.

Our son attended Fun Learning for about six months before transitioning to a preschool closer to…read morehome when he was around 2.5 years old. We had a wonderful experience throughout our time there. Drop-offs and pickups were always smooth, and the staff were warm, caring, and genuinely enjoyed working with the children. It was clear that the kids were well cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. The tuition was also very affordable and offered great value. While we ultimately chose a more academically focused preschool that was closer to home, we honestly would have been happy keeping our son at Fun Learning until kindergarten. Ms. Rachel, the owner, is incredibly kind, accommodating, and truly cares about the families she serves. We highly recommend Fun Learning to any parents looking for a trustworthy, caring daycare.

We especially appreciate how Rachel blends play, early education, music, and even bilingual learning into the day--it's more than just childcare, it's a real foundation for growth. This place feels like family, and we wholeheartedly recommend Rachel's daycare to any parent looking for both nurturing care and meaningful learning.

Joanne is professional and kind-- my son is always very excited to see her every morning during drop off and has a happy demeanor when we pick him up. Joanne speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin so it's a big plus for us that my son gets additional Chinese language exposure. We get very cute daily photo updates and a recap of his schedule (naps, diaper changes, milk consumed, etc.) which is super helpful in the transition to the evening. Joanne maintains a very clean and tidy space in her spacious home and has a large, newly updated outdoor backyard. Joanne has a wealth of experience working with babies/pre-k kids, communicates well and is very responsive. We're thankful we found Sweet Kids Care and have our son in Joanne's care.

Our son was a student at A Place to Learn for a couple of years. Alicia and Miguel are awesome…read more They open their home up to kids so they can feel loved and be able to express themselves. Our son was a pandemic baby and was shy and reserved outside of our nuclear family, so we finally bit the bullet and started daycare here and it worked wonders. They are very nurturing and make your children feel like one of the family. They taught our child how to express himself and he learned all kinds of songs and lessons. They also helped some of the children potty train, along with reinforcement at home, so the transition goes smoothly. They feed your child breakfast, a morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack. The meals are healthy and delicious. But be warned, our child started requesting "Miguel's lentils" at home and we didn't have the recipe! Their home is air conditioned to keep your child cool in the summer and heater to keep them warm in the winter. I would highly recommend this place for your daycare needs.

Alicia is incredibly thoughtful and creative and prepares the cutest activities and art projects that decorate our living room walls. There's a nice outdoor space in their backyard for the kids to play on the play set, bike, run around or just play in nature, which they do twice a day (weather permitting). We've been thrilled with them and wanted to take the time to share our amazing experience with them. If you search any of the local parent groups you'll see a slew of rave reviews from past families. Thank you Alicia and Miguel!

Even though it's a relatively new facility (just about a year old), they've created such a warm, welcoming, and enriching environment for the kids. The space is beautiful, with high-quality wooden toys and a fantastic outdoor area where the kids spend a lot of time--even in colder weather, which we really appreciate. Encouraging outdoor play in all seasons is so important, and this daycare really prioritizes it. The food is another standout feature: they serve homemade, mostly organic meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with healthy snacks. It's such a relief knowing the kids are eating nutritious, well-prepared food. The staff here are wonderful, but we especially love teacher Natalia. She is so kind and genuinely cares for the children. You can see how much she loves what she does, and it makes a huge difference. Our son loves going here, and we've noticed how much he's grown and learned from all the activities. They do lots of art projects and other creative learning activities every day, which keeps them engaged and excited to go back. This daycare has truly been a blessing for us, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nurturing, fun, and high-quality place for their little ones.

We…read morevisited several daycares and knew immediately that IntellectOne was the right fit when we first visited because my son was just immediately so comfortable there. The space is bright, clean, happy with a lot of fun, educational toys. Every week, we are sent the weekly menu of nutritious, truly healthy meals that are offered to the kids. The nutritious meals are such a big help for us, because we don't need to worry about making sure he has enough vegetables and protein during weekdays at home, which take a big load off our plates. The outdoor play area are nice and all play structures/ toys are new. My child is happy and thriving. Ms Natalia and Elisa are so wonderful, sweet, and capable. I feel completely at peace when my child is in their hands. I can't recommend IntellectOne enough!

Irene also prepares meals for the kids, and I think she's part of the reason why my children love legumes and veggies so much! Lastly, Irene is very open and understanding with parents.

She is incredibly patient with the kids and always plans a variety of engaging activities to keep them stimulated -- sensory play, music and singing, gardening, art projects, and physical activities. On nice days, she also takes the kids to nearby parks, which our child loved. She provides healthy snacks and homemade lunches, often with salmon, shrimp, fresh fruits, and vegetables on the menu. We also especially appreciated the frequent photo updates she shared through the app. Teacher TingTing's daycare is not your stereotypical "Chinese daycare" with disengaged caretakers simply supervising children. She is very interactive and clearly incorporates early childhood education principles into her teaching and daily routines. We always felt very comfortable leaving our child in her care.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found TingLin Preschool in Millbrae. As parents who speak…read moreprimarily English with conversational Mandarin, we were seeking an environment that not only fostered early childhood development but also provided a strong foundation in Mandarin for our daughter. We first enrolled her at 2 years old, and have been there for over a year now. I was initially hesitant as a first-time mom, as I had never left my daughter's side up until this point. TingLin took the time to understand our specific concerns and needs, creating a tailored plan to ensure our daughter's comfort and success. Her empathetic approach made the transition not only manageable but a positive experience for our family. During this process, TingLin's communication was transparent, and her willingness to listen and collaborate eased any anxieties we had. Our daughter also started potty training about half a year ago, and TingLin was so open, knowledgeable and understanding about the entire process which we appreciate so much. It's heartwarming to see our daughter come home singing Mandarin songs and expressing herself in both English and Mandarin. TingLin would post pictures and videos on Brightwheel daily, so we know what she is up to. I often see her playing at the local park, collecting fall leaves and acorns, and working on art projects. They even grew their own butterflies! They recently carved pumpkins and used the pumpkin as a vase for beautiful flower arrangements. My daughter has become close with all her friends there, and it's really nice to see everyone growing up together. I'm also really impressed with TingLin's cooking! Every day, our little one enjoys a well-balanced meal that includes a variety of proteins (fish, chicken, beef, lamb, shrimp), healthy carbs (rice/noodles), and a colorful assortment of vegetables. Throughout the year, we've had the pleasure of participating in vibrant holiday celebrations, including Chinese Lunar New Year, Moon Festival, and Duanwu Jie. Our daughter has made xiao long bao, dumplings, zongzi, and baozi--all from scratch! We recently had a Thanksgiving feast prepared by TingLin with all the families and children, and we feel so grateful to be able to be a part of this wonderful community. My daughter has so much fun at TingLin Preschool that she never wants to leave when we go and pick her up. We're really thankful to have found TingLin and appreciate the dedication and commitment she brings to her students and community.
