Miss Julie and the Little Acres teachers are wonderful - they are kind, patient, and passionate about education and child development. The program is very well developed, and keeps the children engaged and interested in exploring and learning. Our kids have thrived under their care and direction, and were more than prepared to take on Kindergarten! Additionally, the after school care program was a wonderful bonus to allow for extended care. All the after school care teachers are engaging, fun, creative and clearly dedicated to childhood learning and development. Overall it's an extremely well-run program, and we could not be happier to have WACC as a part of our kid's lives. Our kids are always so happy at the center, it's often the highlight of their day!

We were sad to leave the infant center because they've taken such good care of him! He loves the teachers and we've been really pleased with the individual care they provide, putting together action plans to address specific behaviors when necessary and recommending timing for the transition to preschool based on his personal needs. The facility is clean and well taken care of, and we get email updates with photos occasionally, which we love. I've also been really happy with how well the infant center is integrated with the preschools. Older toddlers do circle time with teachers from the preschools a few times a week, so the kids get exposure to the Montessori curriculum as well as the teachers. This has helped the transition a ton, since our son already had relationships with his new teachers and knows what's expected of him in the new school. Overall, I'd highly recommend Alice's!

They also go out of their way to make both parents and little ones feel special.

During our son's time at Small World, we found the staff - led by Haseena - to be warm, welcoming, kind and very accommodating. We needed part-time care and Haseena made that happen for us. All of the caretakers he had throughout his time there were loving and so sweet with him, and I always felt like he was in excellent hands. Leaving your little baby anywhere is difficult - but at Small World we always knew he'd be very well cared for. I absolutely recommend them for infant and toddler care, and beyond!

I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT CRAWLERS 2 SCHOLARS…read more story time. when yelp first came about, i was redefining myself from a san francisco raised troubler maker to an "adult" with adult money and a desire to do some good while having some fun. back in 2005-2015ish, this new online community we built in sf, we had a whole bunch of fun and really did a lot for our local community and local small businesses. we raised a ton of money for the SF Food Bank and put hundreds, if not thousands of small businesses on the literally digital online map. fast forward another decade or so, most of these founder members are now old(er) farts with kids and use yelp in a very different way..... including finding day care hidden gems! we moved to walnut creek during the pandemic when we wanted to have a bit more room with our second child coming. Sky was borna week after we moved into a new place in WC. having experienced the difficulties finding the right daycare/preschool the first time around with our oldest, i hopped immediately into finding the right place for Sky. C2S was on top of a short list of centers in the area i picked out. after visiting, the list got shorter and after speaking with staff, the list only had C2S on it. C2S has an amazing lifer heading the program/center. Katy has literally spent her adult life at this center. Its her passion and it shows. Each and every staff member i have encountered has been amazing. our 3 year old loves his time at C2S. This center is modern, accepting and celebrates each and every child without making it a huge deal (like most of us). I've been to a few of the celebrations and you can not help but smile ear to ear. The center is clean, roomy, secured, and they have a great playground (super important). The team regularly sends photos and you can see how engaged the staff is with the kids and vice versa. Katy and the admin team are SUPER on point and timely with the back office side of things. I have more difficulties getting responses from my own team and employees than resolving items and gettings responses from the C2S team, something you do not see too often from daycare/preschools. i can not say enough good things! happy to share with the yelp community this amazing hidden gem. i did the footwork, found the best day care in the area.

We are so grateful to the teachers and staff, who are genuinely dedicated and truly care about the children. From the very beginning, we felt that our son was in a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment. Some of the things we especially appreciated were the convenient hours (7:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m.), three meals provided each day, washing of sleeping bags and water bottles, and the wonderful variety of daily activities, including sports and music. We were especially fortunate to have Ms. Celi as our son's teacher. She updated the parent app every day with incredible detail about the children's activities, curriculum, and plenty of photos. It gave us so much peace of mind to know what he was learning and experiencing each day. Communication with both the teachers and staff was always easy, and responses were consistently prompt and helpful. We'd also like to recognize Ms. Delen, our son's fellow dinosaur-loving teacher, who made learning so much fun, and Ms. Tina, who greeted us every morning with a warm smile that always brightened our day. Finally, we want to give a heartfelt thank you to the entire staff who showed our family so much understanding, compassion, and grace during a very difficult season in our lives. Your kindness and support meant more than you know, and we truly couldn't have made it through without you. We are incredibly thankful to have been part of the Little Genius Academy family. Thank you for loving and investing in our son. We will always look back on our time here with gratitude.

To our surprise, many schools do not use an app. The extracurricular activities are so engaging - I like that they bring an outside coach to engage the kids in sports, Mr. George for music, and Ms Brittany for reading. The meals are also great. My son is open to eating a variety of food as a result of the meals serve at the school. In terms of academics, my almost 4 year old can count to 40, knows the ABCs and write his name. All in all, LGA makes life easy for parents, especially working parents. Even the morning drop off procedures are so quick and seamless. Between my older daughter and son, we've been at multiple schools in the area and I can say that LGA is our favorite.

She also went through lengths to make sure that we as parents didn't feel like we were missing out by documenting her milestones and sending us little mementos of their various activities. Seeing pictures and updates throughout the day truly made us feel at ease and were a great source of joy. Unfortunately we had to relocate out of the area due to work, and having to say goodbye has been one of the hardest things we've had to do as parents, knowing how much our daughter loves her and how she has developed so much under her care.
