Just one of the many awesome pictures I have from Play 'N' Learn.

Play N Learn was the absolute best place for both my daughter and son. We had two amazing years at P'n'L, and the positive impact still resonates a year after our departure. My kids still ask about the staff, and are connect with children they were in school with. The lessons, and special events were all fantastic, but it is the staff that makes their site so special. There is no doubt that everyone in that building loves children, and knows how to reach them. Thank you, Play N Learn for giving us parents a great place to for our children to learn and grown.

Thank you Play N Learn for creating the best memories for our sons for the past 4 years. Our two sons had been at Play N Learn Massar location since they were 18 months old. If anyone is looking for a preschool and is worrying about the safety environment, the cleanliness, and specially friend staffs / teachers, Play N Learn Massar is the one that has it all, they made us feel at ease. We got daily updates with pictures and comments via the school app. The whole staff goes above and beyond in supporting the children. The school is trying very hard for monthly special event to bring parents together with their children, so you can witness how your kids playing with friends and using their social skills. It was nothing but the best. We are truly grateful for everything Play N Learn Massar had done for our family and we continue recommending Play N Learn Massar to friends and family!!!!!

Play n' Learn was one of the best decisions I made during my child's younger years. We had to say goodbye for the last time so she could go to kindergarten, and both her and I were filled with tears. This school becomes a second family, and my daughter is still saying she misses her teacher. They do so many activities both during the school year, and during summer. Miss Yvonne keeps parents informed throughout the day, and promptly replies to messages on their app. They update you throughout the day with photos, which is amazing when you're leaving your child there from morning until afternoon. I can't say enough great things about the staff, because the love we both have for them goes beyond words. Thank you Play n' Learn for 2.5 years of love, laughs, and everything in between. I especially love their summer program, holiday parties, and the daily updates and photos. We miss them so much and if anyone asked me about recommendations for a San Jose preschool, I would recommend them every time.

We absolutely LOVE PNL Massar. I would give them a 10 star rating if I could and I always recommend to anyone for their kids! Both my kids attended/graduated from PNL and have been excelling in their classes in Elementary school. PNL is so much more than just a preschool, it's really a family. My kids felt such an immense amount of love from everyone and for that were so grateful. Ms.Yvonne is amazing and welcoming, along with all the other teachers at the school. They're just great with everything they do, keeping the kids minds stimulated and keeping their attention. Abby & Joshua miss you all so much!

Moving on up! #Graduation day!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I have never let anyone outside of a few close family members watch my child, so I was hesitant to place her under anyone's care, but I'm so grateful I came across Play N Learn preschool! My daughter looked forward to coming here and would always talk about how good of a day she had with the friends she made and the learning activities her teachers had in place. The staff were always nice and welcoming. One thing I loved the most was the app they provided. The app allows you to communicate with ease and get updates regarding naps and activities, as well as pictures to let you know how my child was doing. Big thank you to Ms. Flo for making it a fun environment for my daughter throughout her day there, she always talked nice things about you when she got home. Thank you Play N Learn for everything. Off to new adventures

Where do I began? There is sooo much I can say about PNL Massar. Over the last 4 years, my daughter attended PNl Massar since age two and recently moved up from kindergarten. As a Black parent to a Black presenting child, I was looking for a preschool in the San Jose area that was diverse and safe, and I got very lucky. Throughout the years PNL Massar provided a safe and healthy, nurturing, inviting, bright, magical, playful, and creative play environment for my daughter that helped foster the amazing little girl she is today. As an intentional parent, one of the most important things I wanted out of a preschool was an environment where my daughter would be embraced for who she was and looked like. The teachers and families of PNL did just that. Over the last four years I saw how much attention to detail the teachers and the director gave to my daughter, esp. If I had concerns or questions regarding anything! I also loved how they poured so much love into my daughter and called her beautiful every morning. The teachers are excellent. They are also very attentive, compassionate and treat your children as if they are their own. The school director Ms. Yvonne had a smile on her face every single morning when we walked through the door. She even called to check on me one day after a crying morning my daughter had that turned into me crying. PNL Massar became our second family, being from the east coast it was just what we needed as a solid support system. Did mention both locations stayed open the entire time during covid!! I can go on and on! but, again I appreciated our time spent at PNL Massar and the balance they provided between education and creative play. Last, but not least. I wanted to say a special Thank You to Ms. Florinda. She is an amazing person and teacher. I will forever love her for becoming a special role model to my daughter and always being open, honest and forthcoming about her skills and classroom expectation from the parents and students. I also appreciate the love, care, and attention to detail she provided all the kids. I appreciated how she was open to talking about my daughter's education and what she could do to meet her needs as her teacher. She never ceased to amaze me. From holiday performances she directed to the personalized gifts she would give the kids for every holiday and occasion. The parties never stopped She deserves the world! We Love her to the moon and back! Again, if you are looking for safe, healthy, and enriching preschool PNL Massar is it!! Thanks again to Ms. Florinda, Ms. Yvonne, Clarissa, Ms. Rosy, Ms. Yen, Ms. Atzimba, Ms. Tali, and Ms. Laney, we love you all and will miss you. Best Kharyne

Hello, where can I find pricing for half day? And what program would be good for my just turned 3 year old who is in the process of potty training. Thank you!

Our older son attended when he was preschool age, and we absolutely loved watching him thrive under their exceptional care. When it was time for our daughter to start preschool, we knew exactly where she belonged--and she has been thriving here for over six months now!

What I love most is that they provide a warm, nurturing school environment that reminds me of the wonderful, supportive community I personally grew up in. It is rare to find a place that feels like home while perfectly setting kids up to grow, learn, and succeed. We are so grateful to the entire team!

This is where all the…read moremagic happened for my little one- a place where she felt safe, a place where she made friends, and a place that started her journey of early development learning/scholar-ism!! I cannot thank Teacher Michelle, Teacher Lupe, & Teacher Teresa enough for all the love, care, and attention given to the students here @ Kidango. I witnessed immediate growth from my child within the first few days of attending. Thank you for being understanding, thank you for being patient, & thank you for nurturing my child who looked forward to each day of school. I am so saddened to leave and even more heartbroken by the earlier date to end the school year- we will miss you all dearly!!! 5/5 stars. Don't hesitate y'all!!

It is within the elementary school and has a great playground/outdoor space to run around in. The teachers are firm, but loving, which is needed in this kind of an area. I've seen some preschool teachers be too soft on kids (I guess different teaching techniques) and the kids run the room, not the teachers. My daughter has learned SO MUCH and enjoys her time to play with friends. Only con: Wish the program lasted a little longer than 3 hours. Seems like I drop her off, go home to get ready and I have to go pick her up again. When you add in pickup and drop off time, its less than 3 hours. Even 3 1/2 hours would be better.

This review has been long overdue. It's been three months since my daughter last attended Happy…read moredaycare, and just today while we were playing, she suddenly said, "Hurry up!" -- the first time I've ever heard her say that. I assumed it was something her new teachers say, but she quickly corrected me: "No, no, Andrea says hurry up!" She then went right back to playing, laughing and calling out, "hurry up hurry up!!" That moment alone speaks volumes about how much Andrea means to my daughter. She started at Happy daycare when she was just 1.5 years old. As a first-time mom, I cried on her first day, and Arti sat with me, gently reassuring me that we just needed to give her time to build trust. I can't express how much it meant knowing they understood this was her first time away from home. Within a week, the tears stopped. On her last day, I was the one still in tears because Andrea wouldn't be caring for my little girl anymore. Andrea is incredibly kind and patient. She cared for my daughter with so much warmth that even on weekends, my little one would ask to go see her and this happened more times than I can count. I never had to worry about food it was all taken care of at the daycare. During a medical emergency with my daughter, both Andrea and Arti stayed with her until I arrived, then remained by my side as we figured out the next steps. My daughter still misses Andrea to this day, and I know she will for a long time.

My daughter joined this day care (the one run by Andrea) when she was 14 months old. She was there…read morefor 4.5 months. Here is our honest review Pros: 1. The day care is pretty large. They have several rooms, a patio and a large backyard with several toys and play stations. Separate nap room with cribs is one of the main reasons we sent our daughter here. 2. They feed 3 meals + 2 snacks in a day. Note that snacks are mostly something small like crackers, pretzels, cheese sticks etc. Meals typically include oats, pasta, cheese quesadillas, paratha, idly, rice, some dal variant with veggies etc. 3. My daughter went in and came home happily every day. She started speaking and kept asking for her friends in the day care even during the weekends. Cons: 1. The kid to caretaker ratio promised is misleading. For more than half the time my daughter went here, we did not see any other care taker other than Andrea, based on the pictures we were sent and after taking to multiple kid's parents. For eg, if there are only 6 kids in certain days/weeks, likely it is run by just Andrea. They don't always honor the ratio. Caretakers are rotated across the other day cares they have. In a center-based day care, ratio is always maintained whether or not some kids are on leave. That is not done here. 2. The main reason we preferred a home based day care as opposed to a center based one is - home based day cares can be more intimate. More attention towards every kid. All other home based day cares that we tried for have several themed weeks, festival celebrations, kid's birthday celebrations, farewell parties, parents meet n greet etc. Do not expect any such things here. They do the basic care taking. 3. My daughter came home several times with food dried up on her face. They may not be cleaning up promptly and thoroughly after meal times. Overall, it's a decent day care that tends to kids well.
