Our family has had such a wonderful experience at the Winchester campus. My daughter has been here…read morefor two years now from Pre‑K, Summer School, and TK, and the experience has been consistently positive every step of the way. It is a small school with a true family feel. Every teacher knows the students by name, and that sense of care is felt daily. The office staff is very responsive. Any time there has been a question or issue, we have always received a quick response and prompt action. The elective teachers deserve special recognition as well. Ms. Jeannie (Science), Ms. Edith (Spanish), and Ms. Zoe (Music) have all done an amazing job creating hands‑on, engaging lessons that truly keep the kids excited and involved. Most importantly, we cannot say enough wonderful things about my daughter's TK teacher, Ms. Weiss. My daughter absolutely loves her, and when I asked why, she said, "Because she listens to everything." That alone speaks volumes about the level of care, respect, and attention Ms. Weiss gives her students every single day. She is incredibly engaging, warm, and thoughtful, and she goes above and beyond to make learning fun by celebrating all kinds of occasions, decorating the classroom with her own amazing props and costumes for all the children, and going all out to make the school year special. Ms. Weiss is truly one of a kind. We have seen tremendous growth in our daughter under Ms. Weiss's guidance. Academically, she is excelling in reading and math, and her writing and reading skills have made huge strides. Even more meaningful is how genuinely interested she now is in reading and writing outside of the classroom. We have also seen amazing growth in her interpersonal skills such as confidently greeting others, engaging with new friends, and learning how to reason and communicate thoughtfully. All of this is thanks to Ms. Weiss and the strong foundation she has helped build during these critical early education years. We are incredibly grateful for the lasting impact she has had on our daughter's growth. While we are so sad to be leaving Ms. Weiss's class soon, we know the lessons, confidence, and love of learning will stay with our daughter for life. I also want to give a special thank you to my daughter's Pre‑K teachers, Ms. Sonal and Ms. Gauri. They did an incredible job setting a strong foundation in phonics and helping her transition from daycare into a more structured school environment. The early support was crucial to her confidence and success at the school in the beginning, and we are so grateful for the role they played in shaping her learning journey. Lastly, we are also so grateful for the extended day teachers who have been such a big part of our daughter's experience. Ms. Holly during Summer School and Ms. Hibah during TK have been absolutely wonderful. They keep the extended day program fun and engaging with creative arts, activities, and fresh ideas, which makes it feel less like "extra hours" and more like an extension of the school day. As parents, it gives us so much comfort knowing our child is in caring, creative hands even after regular school hours.

Our daughter started TK at Stratford Winchester and, in Ms. Weiss' class, has had a great…read moreexperience so far and truly loves going to school. Ms. Weiss makes learning fun and engaging with weekly themes and celebrations (Mickey's birthday, Curious George, Harry Potter, Halloween etc.), plus impressive decorations and activities. You can tell she genuinely cares about every kid, and she makes it super parent-friendly too - she'll even provide costumes for events, and the birthday celebrations for each child feel really special. We've also seen a noticeable improvement in our daughter's early reading skills and art work. Extended care has also been a big plus. Ms. Hiba is hands-on, keeps the kids motivated, and uses little rewards (like stickers) that actually get them excited. The office staff is always friendly, and the leadership is very present. Ms. Swathi (Head of School) and Dipali (Assistant Director) greet families at the gate daily - sounds small, but it makes a huge difference and really shows how engaged they are. The school feels small, tight-knit, and perfect for young kids, and events like Winter Wonderland (Santa), the winter program, and Diwali are always well run. Overall, we're really happy and excited to have our daughter continue her learning journey at Stratford Winchester in the coming years.

He's since graduated to the transition room at Happy Days and is still having a blast. He often comes home demonstrating skills from school that surprise us! And he's learning new play from his classmates as well that are adorable to us. When I pick him up, it's also nice to see that the children know each other's names when they say goodbye or when their parents enter the room for pickup. We're now queued to graduate from the transition class (to the next class up) where the school really help us with the potty training journey. They've been great partners in ensuring that he readily tool to transitioning to a potty. As a part of an (unrelated) outside evaluation for our son, there were some observation windows within the classroom. Afterwards, during the debrief with them, they were very happy with what they saw at Happy Days: from the teachers, class interaction, and our child. Which is great news for us, because they've seen more schools than we have! Overall we're very glad to have found Happy Days early in our search. Our infant-now-toddler has had huge growth during that time.

Although our time was short, our daughter made friends quickly, was well cared for, and learned so much such as writing her name correctly, memorizing, and presenting her graduation speech to in front of so many people! We also really loved the attention to detail to every event (especially the mother and fathers day celebrations for parents) and all the events they put on for every holiday and celebration! They really go above and beyond to make each kid and family feel special. We will miss you and hope we can come back soon! Highly recommend this establishment, 10/10!

After researching a lot of daycares in the South Bay, Santa Clara Montessori was our top choice,…read moreand it has truly become our son's home away from home. He started at 21 months old and recently transitioned to the Thomas Road location as he turns 3. Incredible Teachers: Ms. Katie, Ms. Cho, Ms. Choi, Ms. Lim, Ms. Tessa, and Ms. Allison create a remarkably safe and nurturing environment. Ms. Katie brings decades of Montessori experience to the structured setup. Ms. Cho warmly welcomes the kids every morning, and Ms. Katie personally sees them off on most evenings with individual feedback for the parents. Great Communication: They use a fantastic mobile app for easy check-ins, payments, and school updates. Best of all, they sent pictures and videos of our toddler throughout the day getting those updates at work and seeing him grow was such a dopamine hit! Life Skills & Activities: They actively help with potty training, self-feeding, and learning to put on shoes etc. They also host great activities like yoga, pumpkin patch outings, summer camps, teachers appreciation day and Mother's Day celebrations. Structured day: Ms Katie has created a toddler curriculum, they have designated nap-time, play time and a lot of Montessori toys to keep the children engaged. Food & Care: They provide food but allow home-packed lunches. Our toddler was a fussy eater, and Ms. Cho was incredibly helpful in working with him on this. We couldn't be happier with our decision. The recent transition to their Thomas Road location was seamless (and honestly deserves its own 5-star review).

Not sure how to rate this place because we left 5 minutes after the tour started. We arrived on…read moretime and when the front door opened Katie the director was actively chewing something as she greeted us. We were asked to go to the back gate and remove our shoes which we did. The woman Katie who we spoke with and toured with had a hard time answering and/or understanding questions that my husband and I asked her. The teachers we learned are not credentialed and they see if they are a right fit by hands on trial method. I don't know how or if they are even background checked but apparantly they work with a "recruiting agency" whatever that means. She also showed us a list of the kids attending there with full names visible which made us uncomfortable for the sake of the minor children's privacy. It is basically a house that runs an in home daycare. The two rooms kids are taught in are very small especially considering the max limit of 14 kids. The building is a small one story house for refrence. The location is also not very safe with garages and two liqour stores as neighbors. Our almost 2 year old daughter waved bye to the woman and she didn't even aknowledge her. I would look elsewhere if you want the best for your child.

We have had a truly wonderful experience with this daycare, led by the director, Perl. Our daughter…read moreis three years old, and since we moved from New York one year and six months ago, the environment and system here initially felt a bit unfamiliar to us. However, it didn't take long for us to realize how warm, professional, and thoughtfully run this daycare really is. At first, we did have a small concern that the number of children seemed a bit high compared to the number of teachers. However, during our meeting, the staff clearly explained that the daycare strictly follows California's teacher-to-child ratio regulations. After spending some time here and observing how experienced and capable the teachers are, we quickly felt reassured. It became clear that the team knows exactly how to manage and guide the children in a calm and structured way. One thing that really stands out is Perl's leadership. She is very hands-on and actively involved. She organizes events and is often outside observing the children while they play. If she notices any inappropriate behavior, she steps in immediately and gently corrects it in a calm, professional, and patient manner. As a parent, it is incredibly reassuring to see someone guiding the children so thoughtfully. Another detail we truly appreciate is that the director's office is intentionally located along the drop-off and pick-up walkway. Because of this, we frequently see Perl or the assistant director, Marissa, when dropping off or picking up our child. We can easily say hello, have friendly conversations, and talk about how our child is doing. At some daycares, if you ask the director about your child, they might just tell you to ask the classroom teacher. Here, that's not the case. They are approachable, engaged, and genuinely interested in the children and their families. As parents, we can sometimes be picky or have many questions about our child's experience. What we really appreciate is that the staff here always listen patiently and respectfully. They never dismiss concerns and always take the time to communicate thoughtfully with parents. That kind of openness and respect makes a huge difference and builds a lot of trust. Perl has extensive experience and shows a great deal of respect and empathy toward each family. She understands that every family has different backgrounds and situations, and she approaches each child with patience and care. Under Perl's leadership, the teachers are incredibly kind and caring with the children. Each teacher has their own style, which we really appreciate. Some are firm when needed, while still being warm and sweet with the kids. I was especially impressed when I read one teacher's profile card explaining her philosophy that every child has a different personality and should therefore be guided in different ways. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to me. Other many teachers also show a very genuine love for the children and treats them almost like their own. The outdoor play area is also fantastic. In the afternoon, it naturally gets shaded, which helps the kids stay comfortable even during warmer days. The staff are also very attentive to the weather and will bring the children indoors when it gets too hot. The daycare also does a wonderful job celebrating diversity. There are many family participation events, such as St. Patrick's Day celebrations, that reflect different cultures and backgrounds. In addition, the children participate in daily educational activities that support their development. You can really see the experience and thoughtful structure behind their curriculum. In addition, the daycare offers extra activity classes such as dancing, soccer, and baseball. These are wonderful programs that give the children opportunities to stay active, explore different interests, and simply have fun while learning new skills. They also offer a monthly "Parent Night" on Friday evenings. For a small additional fee, they care for the kids until around 10 PM, giving parents a little breathing room. The kids enjoy movie nights and fun group activities organized by the teachers, and our daughter always comes home excited after these evenings. We feel very lucky to have found this daycare. If we have a second child, we would absolutely choose to bring them here again without hesitation. For parents who may still be deciding where to send their child, I completely understand how difficult that decision can be. Choosing a daycare is one of the most important choices for your family. I hope this review helps ease some of that hesitation. From our experience, this is a place where your child will be cared for, guided, and loved--and you can feel confident in your decision.

All the teachers--not just our daughter's--are so gentle and caring. It means so much that they all greet her by name and even come out of their rooms to say goodbye. The facilities are clean, and we love how much time the kids get to spend in the big outdoor play area. All the kids seem happy and well cared for. The administration is also top-notch. When we had a paperwork issue initially, the director went above and beyond for over a month to get it resolved, providing regular updates along the way (thank you Ms. Pearl!) It's clear they truly care about the kids and their families.

An Incredible and Rewarding Experience!…read more Enrolling our son at Santa Clara Montessori, when he was 3 years old is truly one of the best decisions we have ever made. We initially started him in the half-day session from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM, but we quickly realized how amazing the environment was and transitioned him to full-time. He is still continuing there today, and we couldn't be happier. The teachers give wonderful, individual attention to each child. Thanks to their guidance, our son's language and reading skills have blossomed. He can now read many words by himself. In fact, whenever I am driving, he reads the street signs aloud and will tell me exactly when we need to turn left onto Lafayette Street or right onto San Tomas Expressway by reading the street signs. I am amazed that he now reads newer Street signs, and often he tells me on how to reach school or a specific destination, even before we start the car journey. All this has happened due to the love and affection that the teachers have bestowed upon him, carefully making him read new words and details. They also taught him important calendar and time skills, and he remembers each date that he goes to school, because he learnt this specific calendar skill from his school. (I know this as a fact, because we never taught him about the months and calendars yet :) Beyond reading, they have helped him master basic building blocks like: - Writing letters and counting numbers - Fine motor skills, such as safely using a pair of scissors to cut paper - Physical wellness through routine yoga classes where they practice stretches and exercises on their own yoga mats. - Fun kids events such as pool party, where they ensure each child enjoys the water fun, and carefully supervises them. We also love that they organize fun events like pumpkin patches and take the time to teach the children the true significance of important holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day, and Independence Day and St Patrick's Day. Communication is seamless. The school uses the Brightwheel app to keep us constantly updated on what our son is doing throughout the day. It brings us so much peace of mind. On top of everything, the location is incredibly convenient for both our home and office commutes. Our son now speaks so beautifully and confidently, and he genuinely loves coming to school every day. We are deeply grateful to his wonderful teachers--especially Miss Adriana, who was incredibly helpful during his initial adjustment days, and Miss Katie. Thank you both for everything you do!

We were nervous about enrolling our son at Santa Clara Montessori after our move from Sunnyvale…read morebecause he was attached to his previous school and the transition felt daunting. However, those worries didn't last long! Within a short time he was settled in and thriving, largely thanks to the wonderful teachers here. Ms. Adriana, Ms. Justina, Ms. Bianca, and Ms. Lim have all been incredibly warm, caring, and attentive with him. The classrooms are clean, bright, and well-equipped, which makes a real difference in how comfortable and engaged the kids feel throughout the day. Regarding the facility: one thing to note is from their recent licensing review, the auditors flagged that their facility was not sufficiently equipped to prep food on location. The staff tried their best to switch to prep the food at their other location which was also not deemed sufficient by the auditors. As a result, school was sourcing meals externally but ultimately, just before Evan graduated, we got a communication to all parents that they will be halting the meal services. Balancing quality of the meal your child eat while also keeping the costs down is a delicate act but it is something to be informed about if you are considering sending your child here. Since we're on topic of communication, we've been impressed by how communicative the staff are: we get frequent updates on what our son is doing, and it's clear the teachers are genuinely invested in each child. They also frequently post pictures of our child throughout the day so checking them is definitely one of my small pleasures while I'm at work. Beyond the academic side, we've seen wonderful growth in his social and emotional development as well. They nurtured his personality and as a result, he's more funny, confident, curious, and independent than when he started. One thing that still amazes us: he's only 3, and he can read fluently (and write somewhat decently) now. He is already reading night time storybooks cover to cover. Other parents are often surprised when they see him reading random words out loud. It's a testament to how effective and individualized the teaching approach here is. What we also appreciate is how the teachers are always thinking of ways to make the day more fun and engaging. Most recently they set up water play and other fun summer activities to keep the kids excited to come to school. They were upfront about the additional fee to cover materials and prep, and it was clear how much effort went into planning it all, so we didn't mind at all. We love that they strike a great balance between academics and playful, hands-on fun. Now that Evan is graduating from Santa Clara Montessori, it's truly a bittersweet moment for us. We're so proud of how far he's come, but parting ways with the teachers who cared for him isn't easy. A special thank you to Ms. Adriana, who as director has gone above and beyond time and time again. Evan absolutely adored her, and he's told us he's going to miss her. We couldn't have asked for a better school to be part of his early years, and we're deeply grateful to the entire team. Highly recommend Santa Clara Montessori to any family looking for a nurturing staff that will help your child be both emotionally well-adjusted and grow academically.

We loved the school so much that when we had our youngest two, there was never a question about where they would go. They started in the Toddler program and continued through Primary before transitioning to public kindergarten. What makes Children's World so special is the people. The teachers provide so much more than a wonderful academic foundation. They guide children through practical life skills, independence, responsibility, social and emotional development, kindness, and respect, all while fostering a genuine love of learning. The bilingual Montessori environment is thoughtful, hands-on, and beautifully designed to help children grow in confidence and independence. Ms. Michelle is an incredible owner who has built a truly special community and intentionally surrounds herself with teachers who are both highly qualified and deeply caring. Ms. Pratima taught all three of my boys, and she will always hold a special place in our family's hearts. We will never forget the love, patience, and care she gave each of our children.

Our son has been at Tulip Kids Academy for almost two years now. He started in the infant class,…read moremoved up to the junior preschool class, and is now in the preschool class. We've had a wonderful experience throughout this time. He has transformed from a shy little one who was nervous around new people into a confident, outgoing and talkative toddler. The teachers are incredibly warm, affectionate, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping the kids learn and grow. Every day is filled with fun, age-appropriate, and engaging activities that keep the children excited about learning. I also really appreciate the values they instill in the kids . They learn to play well together, take turns, and wait patiently for their turn. This strong focus on social development helps the children build friendships easily and interact kindly with one another. The staff also goes above and beyond in celebrating holidays and festivals, making each occasion special and memorable for the kids. When we were first touring daycares, what stood out most to us about Tulip was how warm, knowledgeable, and hands-on the director, Ms. Nikki, was. She knew every child by name, how their day had gone, and seemed to have a deep understanding of each one's unique needs. We also loved how the school helped make the transition to daycare smooth by allowing parents to accompany their child for the first few days. This thoughtful approach really put our minds at ease. The classrooms are clean, bright, and spacious, and the shaded outdoor play area is perfectly designed for all the different age groups. I especially appreciate that the infants have their own dedicated play area. The school also provides detailed daily updates through Procare, so we always know what our son ate, how long he napped, and how much he enjoyed his activities. The meals they serve are nutritious, wholesome, and include a nice variety of cuisines. I'd like to give a special shoutout to Ms. Jenny (from the infant class) for doing a phenomenal job connecting with the little ones, engaging them in creative ways, and offering us valuable feedback on how to support their development at home. I'm also very grateful to Ms. Gina (from the preschool class) for caring so deeply about each child's growth and taking a personalized approach to help them learn and strengthen any skills they may need extra support with. She provides detailed feedback every day and designs thoughtful, engaging activities to encourage learning and development. Their passion for their work truly shines through.
