    We have watched our little one grow in this school. I wanted to find something play based for our…read morekiddo since he's very active and learns through doing. Its through this school that he's learn to be brave, kind, and a leader. Of course he's learned some interesting subjects and brought home LOTS of art pieces. To start off, the parents are wonderful and I've made lifetime friends with a few of them. My son has also made friends that are so impactful, we schedule play dates to ensure their friendships continue to grow. The teachers are kind, patient, and knows how to motivate the kids to be their absolute best selves. My son calls me by his teacher's name all the time since he loves her so much! The teachers are all personable and hilarious and they naturally get to know every student AND parent on an individual level. Daycare is tough for parents since we entrust individuals with our kids and we don't know what they're doing all day. our kids may not know how to communicate (or just forget). Brightwheel is the app for all parent/teacher communication and they're very active in uploading photos, calendar events, reminders, and direct messages. There's always so many photos and synopsis of their projects, it's nice to be able to ask our kids on the details on what they did that day. Despite the open lines of communication, teachers and Ms. Kim always make the effort to talk to parents if issues arise or just to say some perceptive comments about our kids. They say it takes a village to raise a child and I truly see this childcare center as a community! The Newark city department workers are involved with events ( i.e. fourth of July parade, Santa visit, etc) and parents volunteer their gifts if they feel inclined. I've had only one other experience with a daycare and Ive felt that this daycare is established and dialed in. In comparison, i've never had my child complain about being bored or even cry during drop off. The teachers are collaborative and response and ensure we, as parents, are informed of our kids progress. You won't regret visiting this center!

    Newark Community Center is one of the best preschools and daycares in the area! The teachers are…read morewarm, caring, and truly dedicated to each child's growth and happiness. The environment feels safe, welcoming, and wonderfully diverse -- kids get to learn and play alongside friends from many different backgrounds. My child has shown amazing academic and social development since joining. The center also offers great value for the quality of care and education they provide. It's hard to find a place that balances affordability with such high standards, but Newark Community Center really does. My experience here has been nothing but positive, and I'm so grateful for the amazing staff who make every day special for the kids. If you're looking for a nurturing, inclusive, and well-run preschool or daycare, this is definitely the place to go!

    Our daughter has been attending this Montessori since she was 2.5 years old, and we've been very…read morehappy with her experience so far (over a year now). Miss Thiru, her teacher in the Lilac class, has been absolutely incredible -- a perfect blend of warmth and discipline. She is both loving and firm, which is exactly what young children need to grow, learn, and thrive. We feel truly lucky our daughter had her as a teacher this past year. The daily schedule is thoughtfully balanced with Montessori activities, worksheets, and play. The worksheets have been especially helpful in building her number and letter recognition, as well as her logical thinking skills -- all while keeping her excited and engaged. The outdoor playground is spacious, and the kids love their time there. The only suggestion I'd make is to add some shaded areas, as the summer heat can get intense during the 2-hour outdoor window. Our daughter often comes home visibly tired from the sun. Overall, we really love the school and the nurturing environment it provides. Grateful for the foundation it's building for our daughter's learning journey!

Ms.Yolanda and all the teachers at LFM had ensured that he had a smooth transition into the new environment, helping him grow his social and learning skills in the most caring & nurturing manner - getting him geared up for Kinder in every way possible. One thing that truly stands out is that all the teachers are extremely loving & it shows when the kids want to be around them even when they are playing in the yard. The facilities in the school inside the classrooms, library, gym & outside in the yard are always maintained extremely well - giving kids the best of the infrastructure at all times. What stands out is the indoor gym at LFM where kids get to play if the weather outside is not suitable for their outdoor play - and they enjoy the gym as much as they do the yard! The amount of work that is put in to appreciate every single season of the year, festival of various cultures is incredible & huge kudos to Ms.Yolanda & Ms.Archana and all of LFM's staff on being thorough & meticulous every single time. LFM Birch has been like an extended family where we knew our child was given the best care & environment to grow! We are very grateful for our child to have been a part of the LFM Birch family :)

He is currently in the Panda Bear class with Mrs. Margaret & Miss Yoselin. They are both extremely kind, loving, and communicative. He always says he has the best day when he gets in the car! When we were looking for preschools, a playground was a must. Theirs is hands down the best in the area. If you have a youngster who likes to run and needs some outdoor time, KKP is the perfect place! They also send frequent pictures so I can see the various activities my son is doing throughout the day. Always fun to see! The entire staff (Jesenia, Miss Abbie, and all the other teachers) are extremely kind and welcoming. We are very happy with our decision to send our son to KKP!

She's very patient and she always communicates with me. The way she speaks to kids is very soft and gentle, just like Miss Abby and Ms. Hailey. My favorite part of KKP is that they have a very big playground with swings and slides, a climbing dome, pretend to play kitchens, sand boxes and a huge grass area for kids to run around and do many different activities like parachute time, bubbles and picnic. I am glad we get to know most of staffs through out these years and I know my daughter is always in good hands with them.

The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of each child. Our child has grown so much socially and emotionally since attending.

It's clear that the team goes above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating space. As a parent, peace of mind is everything--and this daycare provides exactly that.

The caretakers are always smiling, super loving, and they really know each child. They helped my daughter with walking, and she would come home showing her body parts and doing the cutest actions for rhymes. They celebrate festivals, make adorable crafts, and they share pictures/ videos, those updates honestly made my workdays so much easier. And there were days when I got late at work, and they still accommodated her for extra hours without a single complaint, which meant the world to me as a working mom. What I loved the most is that it never felt like I was "dropping her off at daycare" , it felt like she was going to family. In a home based daycare like this, kids get so much personal attention and comfort, and you can truly see them thrive. If you're anywhere near Newark or Fremont, seriously, don't overthink it. This is the best daycare we could've picked, and I recommend Green Apple a hundred times over.

When we started our search, we actually did the deep dive research and found that there is no other preschool in the Bay Area that maintains a perfect 5-star reputation on Yelp. So, why is Nature's Gift so exceptional? Having watched our daughter grow there over the last two years, here is why: 1. Heart Over Everything: Ms. YinYin, the school director, emphasizes quality and love over everything else. Unlike the big preschool chains where it often feels like the focus is on revenues or rapid expansion over the actual kids, Nature's Gift stays true to its mission. In those corporate settings, you often see teachers just snapping pictures to please parents instead of actually taking the time to work with the children and show genuine care, not Nature's Gift. 2. A Genuine Community: The teachers are all incredibly loving and truly care about the kids--as a parent, you can literally feel that warmth the moment you walk in. Our daughter's experience was so positive that she would even ask to go to school on the weekends. That's the highest praise a kid can give. 3. Authenticity Over "Shiny" Facilities: To be fair, the facility is small; it isn't some brand-new, "shining" building like the chains. But we quickly learned that the environment is built on substance and love, not just aesthetics. Looking back, my wife and I both agree that sending our daughter to Nature's Gift is the single best decision we've made as young parents. If you want a place where your child is truly loved and not just a number, this is it.

    A Truly Exceptional Preschool Experience…read more I originally wrote this review a year ago when my oldest daughter graduated from Nature's Gift. Now that we've moved to a different city for her continued education, I find myself reflecting on the invaluable experiences and friendships we had there. Comparing her current school with Nature's Gift only reaffirms how truly special this preschool is. My previous review still holds, and I hope this updated one helps other families considering preschools in the Fremont area. Our Experience We feel incredibly fortunate that our daughter attended Nature's Gift for two wonderful years, starting at age 3. As she prepared to graduate at 5, we were filled with gratitude for the exceptional foundation this school provided. From day one, Nature's Gift nurtured a warm, caring environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. The teachers are not only patient and dedicated but also deeply passionate about working with young learners. Their guidance allowed our daughter to thrive academically, creatively, and socially. She developed a strong academic foundation, created impressive artwork, and built friendships that we cherish to this day. One of the school's greatest strengths is its emphasis on instilling good habits and manners--life skills that will serve her well beyond the classroom. Thanks to the well-rounded education she received, she successfully passed the admission exam for Stratford and seamlessly transitioned into Kindergarten. What Stood Out to Us As two working parents, we initially had concerns about aspects like the longer summer vacation, early pick-up times, and lunch preparation. However, these concerns quickly faded as we saw the tremendous benefits our daughter gained from her time at Nature's Gift. The school's low teacher-to-student ratio, focus on personalized attention, and high hygiene standards ensured she was rarely sick--an improvement from her time in centralized daycare. Ms. Yinyin and the entire teaching staff go above and beyond to provide quality education and individualized guidance to each child. The peace of mind we had, knowing our daughter was in such capable and loving hands, was truly invaluable. Looking Ahead Nature's Gift recently announced the opening of a Kindergarten class, and we highly encourage interested parents to consider this outstanding school. The dedication, care, and high standards they uphold make it a remarkable place for early childhood education. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Yinyin, Ms. Pratheeba, Ms. Megha, Ms. Krishna, Ms. Lily, and all the wonderful teachers who make Nature's Gift such a special place. We are forever grateful to be part of the Nature's Gift community!

Our 3-year-old started…read morehere four months ago after transferring from a different school, and the difference we've seen has been remarkable. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff made our child feel welcomed, safe, and understood. The transition was handled with so much care and compassion--it made what could have been a stressful change feel seamless. We noticed right away how much more confident and independent our child became after just a few weeks. The environment is calm, thoughtful, and incredibly well-prepared. You can tell that everything in the classroom is designed with intention to encourage curiosity and hands-on learning. Our child comes home happy, talkative, and excited to share new things he's explored each day. He's even started doing things at home--like pouring his own water or putting his shoes away--that we never expected at this age! The communication from the school has also been excellent. We receive regular updates and photos, which help us feel closely connected to what he's experiencing day to day. We're so grateful to have found this community. If you're looking for a nurturing, engaging, and growth-oriented environment for your little one, we can't recommend MSN highly enough!

    As evidenced by my previous reviews of this school, let me say I LOVE this school. It has been a…read moregreat experience for me and my kids. Throughout the changes in staff, it has consistently remained good. That is, until now. I do not understand what compelled the school to change to a new directress that has admitted that she has no experience whatsoever in heading a school. At first, I decided to give her a chance. Maybe its just being new to the job. But it has just been a constant disappointment for me. The reason why I send my kids to montessori is because I love the teaching style. Teachers should be observers and guides to the students -- not lecture them on how to learn. The first day my child came home from school, he told me, the teacher scolded him. He explained why and I said next time dont do that. And then he explained that they were taught as a group, lectured. Like regular school. Not a montessori school. Why would I send my kid to montessori if it was like this? Why pay for this? The emails are also not very professional and lack information. There is a lack of effort as to the reminders of events. There was supposed to be a halloween parade but there was no info as to what time. And upon arriving there, there was no preparation as to the music or what. During zoom parent teacher conference, we did not yet finish our call yet but another parent was already let in to the zoom call, forcing us to wrap up our call. I never see her during the mornings or afternoons. Previous directors would always be there. I feel like there is a misstep here. Appointing a directress who is so inexperienced that it leaves much to be questioned. I hope someone can fix this soon.
