The teachers continue to support him with great care and work together as a team to help him grow. Even after some transitions, we are still very happy with Storyland and truly appreciate all the teachers' hard work and dedication. He has learned how to play and interact with his friends, enjoys reading books, and has participated in many fun craft projects. He is now learning his ABCs and continues to enjoy his time at school. We are very happy with how well he is enjoying school and transitioning through each stage. We appreciate Storyland and all the teachers for creating such a caring and supportive environment for him.

They've been the perfect balance of education, social interaction and playtime. It was definitely worth the wait and one of the best choices we made.

My family and I just LOVE this school. My eldest one graduated here, middle one is attending now,…read moreand youngest one will be there soon. Directors, Diana and Stephanie, are doing awesome job to make the school as happiest place ever for kids. About 2 years ago my wife and I found this school by chance. We visited for tour, and we immediately enrolled our girls right after we had conversations with Ms. Diana, director and owner of the school, who was giving the tour. For us it was impressive she knows every details of individual kids. Staffs were also looking happy for their job, which was another important point for us when making decision. Staffs are friendly and kind, always be willing to help families of their students, which I sincerely appreciate. They communicate to each other very well, I can literally leave message to anyone or can hear about how my little one's day was from anyone. I also like the part that they bring in many kinds of events to the school rather than going on field trip. It is their strategy for safety. They regularly arrange visiting of fire fighters and kids just love it. Various activities make kids happier and families have full access to many events. They offer in-school birthday party for reasonable price which I had for my little ones. Sometimes during the weekend they offer child care for special days like Christmas shopping, or Thanksgiving preparation. They seriously care about their facilities. They don't let something remain in broken or dirt. I am very happy about it. As I know a sandbox in front yard is being covered for every night so kids can play with cleaner sand. They periodically install new mulch on playground. Thank you all and just keep doing the awesome job! My family and I are so lucky to have you all.

They create a warm, welcoming environment where kids feel safe and excited to learn every day. I've seen so much growth and confidence in my 3-year-old daughter since starting here. A huge plus for us has been the onsite enrichment programs, like soccer and Spanish class, which means we don't have to spend our evenings driving around town for extra activities. Also, the live camera access is a much appreciated added bonus that our last daycare didn't have.

When we toured the school for the first time, we were impressed with the size of the school & huge play areas outside. The kids all seemed to be so happy in every classroom & teachers were very engaged with all of the kids. I highly encourage any parent that is needing childcare to check this place out. It was an immediate yes for us and now that we've been here since May, we are so happy that our girls come here & are so loved by their teachers. As a parent, you can't put a price on your kids being happy, safe & loved!

Robyn helped us potty train her easily and it's been such a loving nurturing environment. LPS staff has been our second family. The teachers are the reason why we chose to bring her here. Teacher Serena deserves a special acknowledgement as she navigated online distance learning in 2020. It was a tough year when she started kindergarten but LPS did an amazing job providing a nurturing and navigating through all the complexities due to COVID. I can't thank them all enough for everything they've done. We also have two little girls both in LPS in teach Sara's class and with Teacher Kathy and Becky! Our girls LOVE LPS. The staff has been there for 20+ years and even teacher Evelyn who retired comes back every now and then to help out when needed. She does this because she loves the kiddos. Robyn is now the Director which is fantastic she's been a teacher for many years and has always communicated effortlessly. Our kids love all the teachers but they absolutely adore teacher Stacey. They talk about her all the time and even ask for play dates and sleepovers with her, that's awesome!!! We are so happy with this preschool and blessed to call it our kiddos second home/family

We had our baby enrolled here as an infant and left before she turned 2. I would give 4 stars for…read morethe infant room, but knocking off one for the toddler classroom. The infant room was good, mostly because our baby had an excellent primary caregiver who communicated with us regularly and knew what she was doing (that teacher has since left). However, once we transitioned into the toddler room things really seemed to go downhill. Communication was poor, and we found out by accident that our daughter was being moved into different classrooms throughout the day before her transition date (not ok!). Staff turnover was crazy high, both with teachers and administrators (3 directors in less than two years!). Many of the teachers we liked and who seemed to genuinely care for our child left after only a brief time working there. There doesn't seem to be a lot of investment in hiring, training, and keeping capable staff. I was also alarmed to see that Lily of the Valley has been reported several times to the state or they have failed inspections for being out of ratio. For not having been open that long they've been in trouble a lot. One more thing of note was this center's reliance on tablets and screens in the classroom. I was upset to learn that every single day the toddlers were watching screens and the adults in the room weren't reading books out loud, just using an iPad and a Bluetooth speaker with a video playing. I complained and was told that they changed this practice, but when we were given paperwork for renewing enrollment, there was a consent form for my TWO YEAR OLD to use the internet and tablet unsupervised. So I think that's just the way they do things. I had really high hopes for Lily of the Valley. We've moved on to another preschool, but I hope they can turn things around so people don't keep leaving. The infant care was good though.

I can't say enough great things about Lily of the Valley! From the moment we walked in, we were…read morewarmly welcomed by the friendliest staff you could hope for. Everyone here goes above and beyond to make both parents and children feel completely comfortable and at home. The facility is spotless and clearly well cared for, which gave me immediate peace of mind. You can tell they take a lot of pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment. One of the things I appreciate most is the open-door policy -- being able to drop in at any time is such a comfort as a parent. It shows how confident they are in the quality of care they provide. Lily of the Valley is more than just a daycare -- it feels like a second home for our family. Highly recommended to any parent looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and professional childcare!

I am a former VMS student from way before they built this campus. From before the middle school was…read morea single room behind the Livermore Valley Tennis Club. I wanted to say that I attribute much of my present success to the advanced education I received at this school. They really encourage children to learn at their own rate, accommodating those who learn faster and those who need extra help. Beth Marshall was my teacher for most of my years here, and I know she no longer works there, but I hope they still teach in that style. The way they let the parents and children set the child's own standards for grading, and have the child assemble their own portfolio and present is unique (as far as I know). We kids felt like we had some say in how we were being taught and had more interest in school than I think any kids in public school had. By the time I entered high school at Amador, the only classes that compared at all in quality were the honors and AP classes. Besides the outstanding education I received, I fondly remember the field trips, holidays, PE classes, electives (enrichment), meditation, etc. It was a very stimulating environment and I'm glad I got to experience it. I am giving 4 stars because I don't know if what I experienced as a child is still the norm for VMS now. For any who care to know, I am now pursuing my PhD in Molecular Bio at UCSD. How much is nature vs. nurture, and how much VMS contributed to the "nurture" aspect, I don't...but looking on Facebook at my VMS classmates, I can say that all of them seem to be thriving as well. Really though, it may be because all of their parents are brilliant and therefore have lucrative careers that allow for them to send their children to schools like this. I don't know. PS-The teachers here (at least the ones I had) really care about the kids. I have seen and corresponded with some recently and was very touched to be so remembered. Thanks, VMS!

As a first-time mom, the thought of sending my son to daycare was honestly nerve-racking. My son…read morehad never been away from me before, so we decided to try Primrose Livermore's Discovery Days--and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. On his first Discovery Day, my son cried almost the entire time because it was his first real separation from mom. But the teachers were incredibly patient, gentle, and loving. They held him, comforted him, and truly cared for him throughout the day. What meant the most to me was how often they updated me--sending pictures and notes through the ProCare app so I knew exactly how he was doing. Being able to see that he was safe and in caring hands helped ease my anxiety tremendously. Since he had such a tough first day, we decided to bring him back for a second Discovery Day to see if he was more ready. This time, everything changed. When my son saw Miss Anna and Miss Sandra, he recognized them and calmed down after few minutes and enjoyed his lunch and snacks. He looked so much more comfortable and ended up having an amazing time! I received tons of photos again, and I could tell from the updates that he was playing, smiling, and really enjoying himself. When I picked him up, he seemed genuinely happy--loving his teachers and even interacting with friends. I left feeling so relieved and confident that he might actually be ready for daycare. Before all this, I had spoken with Adrian, the Director, because I had a lot of questions and concerns as a new mom. She was incredibly understanding and patient, answering every single question with transparency and warmth. After meeting her and seeing how she ran the school, I felt reassured and gained a sense of trust that I didn't have before. Overall, Primrose Livermore made what could've been an emotional and stressful transition into something positive and encouraging. The staff truly cares, the communication is excellent, and the environment just feels safe and nurturing. We're now planning to send our son to Primrose San Ramon once it opens, since it's closer to home--and I'm truly hoping it will be just as wonderful as the Livermore location. If it's anything like our experience here, I know our son will be in great hands.

She has already learned so much in just a few weeks, and we can see how much she enjoys her time there. The structured yet fun environment keeps her engaged, and the communication from the staff has been excellent. The updates throughout the day give us peace of mind, and it's wonderful to see her happy and thriving. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be loved, supported, and encouraged to grow, I highly recommend Primrose!

Bright Minds is a breath of fresh air. After a pretty horrible experience at another local…read morepreschool, our family decided to give Bright Minds Academy a try. We have been so pleased since our child began attending Bright Minds. The staff is warm, caring, and kind. A huge shout to Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Edith-our child raves about them and it is evident that they care about our child's wellbeing. Our child enjoys going to school, learns so much, and has made such great connections with the staff and other students. To me, this is so meaningful as we want our child to love learning! Our child is happy and actually wants to go to school. The facility itself is clean, the toys are thoughtfully selected and rotated, the director and owner are kind/caring, there is open and honest communication from staff/teachers/owners/director. They even hold parent/teacher conferences to showcase what our child was working on, areas of growth, and progress. Specifically highlighting our child's strengths in the process. They have had concerts and halloween events which are extremely well thought out and executed, leaving an impression on children and families alike. There is structure and routine in our childs day. Our child knows what to expect and what times things are going to happen. Our child (as do many preschoolers) really thrives with this routine and structure in place. The class and environment are not hectic or chaotic, the staff has great classroom management. Our family went through some very challenging times and Bright Minds showed up ten fold for our family. Check-ins, asking if we needed anything, and accommodating anything that we needed. For this alone, our family will always be grateful for the staff, owner, and directors at Bright Minds. Anyone can become an educator, but being genuine, compassionate, and caring, during the hardest times really does showcase the nature of the staff here. Huge shout out to Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Eunhee, Ms. Lauren and even the other teachers such as Ms. Stephanie who have shown how much they care. I too work in education, and finding genuine educators like those here at Bright Minds is not easy. As other reviews state, we too wish Bright Minds would expand to elementary school :) If you are looking for a fabulous preschool, that is clean, well managed, with staff/teachers/owners/directors that go the extra mile, look no further. Seriously!
