We absolutely love this school! Our daughter started here in preschool, and our son joined the after-school program when he began Transitional Kindergarten. From the very beginning, we've had a wonderful experience. One of the things we appreciate the most is how excited and happy our kids are to go to school every morning. As a parent, that says a lot! The teachers are warm, welcoming, and truly care about the children. They take the time to know each student and support them in every way possible. The campus is beautiful and well-maintained, with a large playground where kids can run, play, and just be kids. There's a great balance between learning and fun, and we've seen so much growth in both of our children--academically, socially, and emotionally. We've been part of this school community since the Covid years, and it's been many years now. We've always felt safe, supported, and connected. The staff handled everything during those challenging times with so much care and responsibility. The school also hosts fun events and celebrations that bring families together, which we love. We truly feel like this is a second home for our kids, and we're so thankful for the nurturing and enriching environment they provide. Highly recommend Safari Kids to any family looking for a place where children are truly cared for and thrive! read more

We've had a good experience with Safari Kids. They have a safe, supportive, and enriching environment. My child has learnt a lot better in this afterschool. Overall, we highly recommend Safari Kids to any parent looking for reliable, high-quality afterschool care. It's been a game-changer for my child. read more

We absolutely love the school. The teachers take really great care of the kids. The curriculum is also great

Our child has been attending Safari Kid Dublin Positano for the past 2.5 years, and it's been a wonderful experience. The communication has always been clear and consistent--we've never had to worry about being out of the loop. Most importantly, our child has felt completely comfortable and happy with the teachers from the very beginning. Their care and attentiveness have made a lasting, positive impact. Highly recommend! read more

We've had such a positive experience with Safari Kid! The transition to potty training was handled so smoothly -- the teachers were kind, consistent, and supportive throughout the process. What stands out to us is how well Safari Kid blends structured learning with plenty of play, outdoor time, and creative crafts. Our child eats better now too -- thanks to their healthy snack options and good food habits they reinforce. The daily photos they send are the highlight of our evenings -- it's wonderful to see our child happy, engaged, and thriving. read more

Our preschool was great. Teachers were accommodating and my kid got comfortable very quickly plus had fun

We love the school from the staff, to the facilities and the experiences they bring the kids. When first deciding the place for our 1st born we were quite impressed by programs they had and facilities that they are in. Over time we continue to be impressed with the teachers want for growth for all the kids. We love the seasonal dances, the videos we get regularly and weekly updates to know what the kids are learning. Highly recommended. read more

Safari Kid - Dublin-Positano - Christmas celebration with little kids - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Dublin, California

Our kid has been going to Safari kid for more than year and we are happy with their faculty directors and the teachers. They have been very supportive and welcoming, which has helped in nurturing our kid. Faculty also invests in fun and educational activities especially on Fridays that add excitement to kids daily activities. read more

I feel it's important to warn parents of children with special needs to avoid this place. Before enrolling my son, I was very clear that he has ADHD and asked whether they had strategies or experience to support children like him. The staff assured me they did, which gave me confidence. But after just one single day, they called to tell me he should be pulled out, and during that call they admitted they are not trained for these situations and are currently understaffed. If that's the truth, they should have been honest from the start, not mislead us into believing our child would be supported. And if they are understaffed, they should stop enrolling more kids until they have the enough capacity to care for all the kids. What shocked me most was how quickly they gave up on my kid, without even discussing possible ways to support him. This is not a school, it's a business that puts convenience and profit above everything. With so many families on the waitlist, they clearly feel they can discard any child who requires extra patience. Children with ADHD, or any special needs, deserve patience, understanding, and time to adjust. I can understand it may be hard for those without experience or knowledge to know how to support them, but that only makes it more critical for programs to be honest about their limits. If your child requires even the slightest bit of extra care, do not come to this place. They are not equipped, not capable, and will waste your time while hurting your child's confidence. Families deserve far better. read more

Our kid truly enjoyed the summer program and looked forward to it every day. We're so grateful for the excellent staff who made her experience so engaging, fun, and enriching. Thank you for all the care, creativity, and dedication you put into making this such a special place for the children. We really appreciate all that you do! read more

our older daughter (5 years old now) did a full year plus all the summer there before moving to the local TK and she truly loved it! she learnt so much from Safari kid!

Engaging program, good communication (teacher/parent), great outdoor play area, clean and most importantly the teacher are caring. I appreciate all the members of the staff, from the owners to the directors and the teachers Love the Christmas and end of the year recitals , Halloween parade, in class events for the kids that the team organise throughout the year. read more

Our son has been attending Safari Kid for a year now. Over this time, i have seen him become much more expressive and vocal. We are super happy with the progress our child has achieved Some points we'd like to highlight include the following: * We love the daily update on the procare app which shows photos of the kid during the day engaging in various activities. The app is very convenient when communicating with the teachers. * The staff is incredibly friendly and communicates with us effectively, always keeping us in the loop. They were so supportive during potty training, making the process much easier for us. * They have a nice big outdoor play structure where the kids get to play in 2 times a day. * Very clean environment * ⁠They have fun-filled summer every year with fun summer themes. We highly recommend this school to any parent looking for an amazing quality school for their child. read more

Great pre-school in a very convenient location. The Montessori curriculum is well curated, focusing on soft skills as well as academics.

We were looking at multiple options to send my daughter to a pre school in dublin. When we looked at the setup Safari kids have it really checked all marks, good place, open spaces in the classes, good lighting, staff and teachers were really welcoming, curriculum was also on par with other schools. After 2 years of the experience, i can say we were so happy that we made that decision. My daughter is happy every day she goes to school, the activities in the school are really engaging and i can see she has really grown emotionally, socially, academically in those 2 years. There is good engagement with parents, events at school that keep kids engaged. I would highly recommend safari kids to anyone looking for a safe and secure environment for their kids to study. read more

My daughter had her baby shower at this venue. This place is perfect for any event. From the outside it may not look very big, but it is pretty cavernous inside. Chandra, the owner, was so welcoming and kind throughout the whole process. He made the everything so easy. They provide set up and have options of hiring their team for decorating and anything else you need. Everything is available for your event to include a play area for kids. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you Chandra for helping us to have such a beautiful event for our whole family. We will definitely be having all of our bigger events there. read more

The facility is bright, welcoming, and well-organized, creating a nurturing environment where children thrive. The staff is incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely cares about each child's well-being and development. read more

I am very happy with the teachers. I sent both my kids there and I have personally seen the progress in them. They enjoyed their time here and quite fond of their teachers. read more

Safari Kid is fantastic. The staff is caring, the facility is clean and safe, and the activities are engaging. Communication with parents is excellent. Highly recommended! read more

Overrated and overpriced place. We sent our 5 year old son for a few months, but did not like it at all. There are other pre-schools and after-schools in the same area that don't charge sky high rates and provide better quality of education and care. read more

Our 3 yr old son has been going to Safari Kid School for 5 months and we have been extremely impressed with the school, the admin (Ms Gagan, the Director, is very good, approachable and responsive), all the teachers (Ms Ravali, Ms Miti, Ms Moushami to name just a few). Each and every teacher exudes such a passion for what they do and they each have such a welcoming demeanor. Every teacher seems to know every child's name, and always welcome them with so much love! Our son has a very cautious personality and each teacher has approached and gotten to know him in a way that makes him feel comfortable (and also puts us at ease!).. It has been a great opportunity for our son to socialize in a safe and comfortable environment. I really wish I had discovered Safari sooner.. I love that the school is structured with both free play/exploration and also with organized group learning circles. It is a large and clean facility with good safety protocols. One of my favorite things about Safari Kids is that we receive a weekly email update (end of week) with pictures and details of all the learning and fun activities their week was filled with! They also use the ProCare app so its very easy to get in touch when required. We always know that our son is taken great care of here, and definitely recommend Safari Kid School to any parent evaluating their options! -Sushmita read more

For 2021, we wanted our 1 yr old to start to socialize with other kids her age on a part time basis. We saw that this new Safari Kids facility was open and decided to take a tour. We loved how the facility was designed and the teachers were so welcoming. Sareena has had a blast during her time at this facility. read more

Safari Kid Positano is Super Fun and Mids absolutely loved it! One of the best summer camps we have tried. The teachers and the staff are very loving and friendly with kids and the schedule/ curriculum was thoughtfully drafted. Already looking forward to our next summer break :) read more

Safari Kids has an amazing summer camp program! Themes every week. Cooking classes that are easy and fun for the kids. They even have on-site field trips every Friday where they hire petting zoos and magicians or rent out water slides! My 5 yo daughter loved it here and still talks about it! Unfortunately, we moved out of Dublin and I'm sad that I didn't discover Safari Kids sooner. The facility is spacious, new looking, and clean. The play ground has a nice play structure with sails to provide shade. They send out the weekly theme and activities before the start of each week, so you feel completely informed. Sheetal, the director, was very nice and easy to work with. Highly recommend this school! read more

I wish I could give more stars. We have been sending our 6 year old and 3 year old here for almost 1 year and are absolutely impressed by the dedication and empathy of the teachers and the founders. The founders Mr Chandra and Ms Kiran go out of their way to do anything for the parents. I got laid off at work and after almost 4 months found work and so we couldnot pickup our daughter from her school and when I called and spoke to Mr Chandra he arranged for a special pickup person just for my daughter. The teachers that work here also very kind and soft spoken. I absolutely love this place and wish them a good luck in their business. read more

My kids love SKP for summer camp and after school! They have a great facility, wonderful teachers, fun programs and exciting activities. Their favorite feature is the massive play structures that they get to play on. My kids keep asking to go back for either camp or after school care! read more

I'm so glad I found Safari kid for my daughter. The staff is great and the class structure was perfect for my busy 21-month old. The school sends you weekly updates and photos so you can see what your kid learned during the week. Drop off and pick up is very safe. Parents use an app to check kids in and out. Every child has a temperature check at the door, all staff and children over 2 years old wear masks. My daughter loved going here and her vocabulary and social skills blossomed while she was there. The only reason she no longer attends is because our family moved out of the area. read more

At Safari Kid Positano, my Son has found a happy and nurturing environment where he has formed strong bonds with his teachers and friends. As parents, we are super pleased with the program and appreciate the kindness and open communication of the teachers. This serves as a reminder of the importance of finding a supportive community for our children to thrive. read more

Absolutely recommend Safari kids for anyone looking for a facility with excellent infrastructure and a great curriculum. My daughter went there for over two years and she totally enjoyed her time at the pre-school/aftercare. Safari Kids summer camps deserve a special mention. A variety of well planned activities, weekly updates are some of the highlights. My daughter use to look forward to going there every day. The teachers are warm and kind. read more

Amazing teachers, extremely caring and loving environment. My son loves his teachers. Really well planned curriculum with the right mix of academic and extracurricular activities. Appreciate the regular feedback on my child's progress. Also, I was very relieved to see the covid protocols in place at safari even when the state mandates were dropped. read more

Great pre-school, my daughter has been enrolled since June 2021. Easy paperwork/registration and the administration was very responsive leading up to the first day. Every day since, the teachers and administration have been very attentive and responsive. We use a ProCare app. It makes communicating with the teachers and admin super easy and fast. We use it to sign our daughter in and out of school, and I think you can use it to pay tuition too but I just cut an old fashioned check. - The teachers are really sweet and loving. - The covid protocols are fantastic. The kids are safely spaced out and always masked. - The playground is new and nicely shaded. - I LOVE their weekly reports, it's incredibly detailed complete with photos. And sometimes they upload daily photos into the app. - Best of all, my daughter is learning a lot, b/c I ask her about the content after the weekly updates and she'll tell me more about what they learned, show me her ASL (sign language hand gestures), etc. - They did all kinds of fun activities like face painting, balloon twisting, magic shows and a petting zoo came! I dont know if this is b/c it's a summer program and if the regular school normally has all these fun activities but regardless, my daughter LOVES Safari Kid and my son who is in 3rd grade is super jealous of his sister and begs to attend Safari Kid. LOL - The only thing I'd love to see this school do is offer some Spanish classes (however, I think it's in their after school program for the older kids). - And when covid is more relaxed, I would love to be able to take advantage of their lunch program so I can stop packing lunches. They did offer this previously but with covid it's safer for everyone to bring their own food. read more

My son loved going to Safari kids at Positano. The teachers are great, his teacher was Ms.Sana and he had fun as well as a good learning experience. He advanced academically within a short period of time itself once he started going to safari kids. Also, during this pandemic they have been taking ample precautions and keeping the classes clean and practicing social distancing. I would recommend the school to any parent looking for a good preschool in east Dublin area. read more

My son started safari kids 3 months ago after staying home for more than a year due to pandemic. The entire safari kids staff is very welcoming and amazing with kids. My son adjusted in less than a week and is always excited to go to school. Safari kids have been very accommodating to our needs and I truly appreciate it about them. Being a teacher, I can tell that he is in the right hands. Highly recommend them! read more

Both of my kids attended Safari Kid for a year. I cannot say enough good things about the teachers and all the staff. They're so welcoming and positive. My youngest learned so many things over the last year! We were so impressed. The playgrounds are amazing and well maintained. Overall, we were extremely happy about our decision to enroll our boys in this preschool. read more

My son has been with Safari Kids for after-school program since the summer camp. It has been the same great experience along the way. We saw him really grew a lot and likes to enjoy going to the school everyday. read more

Being full time employee is hard for a mom. From the day I found Safari Kids, I found peace of mind. My daughter goes to preschool and my son goes to after school. After reviewing their curriculum and my personal meeting with management I was down to commute half an hour to bring them in Safari kids- Positano location. I can't thank enough from Ms. Kiran to provide such a beautiful place for our little once. I highly recommend this place for any ages 18 month +. The management team will make sure to reduce your stress towards your kids. I would say this is one of the top daycare in Dublin. I want to write more but all I can say is thank you Safari kids. read more

My 3 years old daughter recently started her school. As parents we were worried about her settling down in new environment especially after two years of covid where she has limited social life. But teachers and staff have not only taken care of my daughter but even us parents by keeping us informed about everything. As a parent - 1. I want to know how my kid is doing - they keep us informed about her progress. Teachers are very approachable through chat/messages. We as parents should be respectful of the teacher's time and hence should prefer chat option. 2. I want to see my kid in school - We get link to photos every Friday and believe me that is the most beautiful thing. Even my kid's grandparents wait for Friday photos which bring smile to all of us :) 3. I want to see my kid learn and grow - though it's just few weeks, we can see the growth in my kid. She has much better control in writing. She is becoming more social and most importantly her confidence is increasing. 4. Worksheets that my kid does - worksheets are sent home. 5. Celebrating birthdays, functions , etc - we have seen birthday celebrations and it is nice to see that teachers are making it so much fun for kids. My kid love these celebration. I believe they also celebrate all festivals. Really looking forward to them! To summarize , this is great place for kids to start their educational journey and this place is great because of amazing people managing it. Thank you so much for providing quality education to our kids. read more

Cant praise this camp enough! deserves more than 5 stars. my daughter had a blast- the activities were well planned, organized, involved a lot of excellent planning, pictures shared weekly, teachers were great. My daughter loved it- She was upset over the weekends that she could not go . Until next year..... see you then!!!1 read more
