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!!

I have picked up my nephews and niece from this school frequently. This institution has consistently had AMAZING teachers.  My sisters' kids had the same teacher, Ms. Michelle and even though my son has different teachers (Ms. Farishta and Ms. Denise), the quality of care and education he received is consistent with the same outcome of her kids. So even though teachers have changed throughout the years, the standards in which these teachers are Montessori trained are high. From day 1, I dropped him off confidently knowing he was in wonderful caring hands. And now that it is towards the end of the year, I reflect back and remain in AWE of the advancement he has made in terms of education and social skills.

Our daughter came home every day excited to tell us about her day, the activities she participated in, and the special moments she shared with her teachers and friends. The staff has always been amazing, caring, and welcoming. The hard work, dedication, and love they put into everything they do--especially the shows and performances for holidays and special occasions--are truly incredible. We will always be grateful that we chose Level Up to help prepare our daughter for TK and kindergarten. Thank you for providing her with such a loving and nurturing environment and for giving our family memories that we will cherish forever. A special thank you to Miss Betsy, Miss Rajleen, and Miss Sahar. The love, patience, and care they show each child are truly extraordinary.

The teachers and staff have been absolutely amazing and played such an important role in helping my daughter reach academic milestones at such an early age. The foundation they helped build has prepared her to confidently take on kindergarten and the many academic years ahead. As a parent, finding a school where your child is learning, growing, and genuinely cared for is priceless. Level Up was absolutely worth the investment and, most importantly, gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. Thank you, Level Up, for being such an important part of Leylah's early years and education. We are truly grateful for everything you have done for her.

Royal Kids Preschool - An Outstanding Experience!…read more As the parent of a two-year-old, I couldn't be happier with our experience at **Royal Kids Preschool**. Finding the right place for such a young child is stressful, but Royal Kids has truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we enrolled, the love and dedication of the **teachers** have been remarkable. They are genuinely warm, patient, and engaging. My child rushes into the classroom every morning, which is the best indicator of a safe and happy environment. The **curriculum** is thoughtfully designed--it's much more than just play! They strike the perfect balance between fun, creative activities and intentional learning. I am constantly impressed by the **education** my child is receiving; they are developing crucial social, language, and motor skills through structured play and discovery. If you are looking for a preschool that provides a loving, structured, and enriching environment, look no further than Royal Kids. Highly recommended!

Excellent and affordable daycare/preschool!…read more My daughter attended this center when it was also known as the Eden Youth and Family Center Daycare. She started at one year old and stayed until she went to kindergarten. What stood out was the multicultural and caring staff. The staff treated us and my daughter like family. Four years later, my son was born and he started attending what is now the Eden Early Childhood Development Center since he was 4 months old. He will be three next month. This preschool/daycare is a gem in the middle of what may not necessarily be the best neighborhood. The staff are all new, caring and highly experienced. The improvements can be seen in the physical space. The walls are filled with beautiful artwork created by the children. Pictures of the kids and staff are on the outside showing the amazing guests that come in (music teachers, police) as well as the special projects (cooking, gardening). My son talks so much and so fast and always has a smile on his face when I pick him up. The teachers are inspired by and using the Reggio Emilia Approach. For the price we pay, we are happy that this is the philosophy of the center. The other families are friendly and their children are happy, too. It is not located in the most plush surrounding area and neighborhood, but the community organizations in the neighborhood do support each other as far as I know and the staff keep everyone safe and sound. Definitely check this place out if you are looking for quality, affordable daycare with caring, knowledgeable, multicultural staff. Oh yeah, when your child includes the daycare teachers' names singing the "good night" song, that's got to be a good sign. :)

It's been six months since my daughter "graduated" from Kidango Eden Youth, and it's clear how well…read morethe preschool prepared her for kindergarten. She is one of the most advanced readers in her class (already two levels ahead of where they want the kids to be by the end of kindergarten), and she still sings the rhyming and alliteration songs she learned in preschool when she pronounces new words. Her math skills are also well ahead of where they are expected to be. She waves hello every time we pass the center and always asks to go in and visit her teachers. I am so lucky that the teachers here were part of our lives for so long.

Shortly after he started we noticed his manners improved (please and thank you), and in the Covid world they did a great job inspiring him to wash his hands properly. He's leaving TK knowing his ABCs, basic addition and subtraction, counting to 100, some sight words, and more. The kids do a wide variety of hands-on activities in TK, including crafts, science experiments, and even cooking. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included in the tuition, which was a huge help. My kid is a really picky eater and they encouraged him to try everything, but if he didn't like it they would give him something else to eat (cereal, fruit, etc...) If you're enrolled full day the drop-off/pick-up window is very flexible for working parents - 6:30am-6:00pm. I typically didn't pick my son up until 5:45pm because he refused to leave if I came earlier. He was always having too much fun! I want to add that I just adore the kindergarten teacher, Miss Norita, and I am sad he won't be attending kindergarten at Elmhurst. We're leaving because my son was admitted to the Mandarin DLI program in Hayward and you have to start that in kindergarten. We plan to enroll our second child here once he is old enough.
