Andy, Amy, Katelyn and Andrew do such a thoughtful job creating age-appropriate activities that keep the kids engaged, learning, and having fun. We're always impressed by the creativity they bring to each day (all of the art projects, sensory play, storytime and lots of music) . We love getting the daily photo updates. It's clear she feels safe, happy, and loved there, and we're so grateful to have this nurturing little gem in our neighborhood.

All the teachers and staff are friendly and great with the kids. Highlights of the school include: Small teacher to student ratio; also the students form a tight bond with the small class. Great outdoor play space, lunch and snacks are provided and included with tuition. I'm also impressed with what my son has learned at age 2 has learned Spanish and knows all his colors and and animals and starting to learn numbers and letters in both English and Spanish.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Sequoia Tots Daycare! Our son absolutely thrived…read moreunder Mojgan's care, and it showed every single day when we picked him up--happy, engaged, and excited to tell us what he'd learned. Our son felt genuinely cared for, not just watched. The educational activities were thoughtfully planned and age-appropriate, giving him opportunities to explore, create, and grow. We saw real development in his social skills, curiosity, and confidence during his time there. Mojgan runs a program where children are truly seen and valued. If you're looking for a daycare that combines excellent care, enriching activities, and a warm family atmosphere, Sequoia Tots is the place. We're so grateful for the foundation it gave our son and would recommend it to any family without hesitation.

She is not only responsible and compassionate but also listens to feedback and does her best to accommodate any concerns. The daycare has fantastic indoor and outdoor spaces. The backyard is shaded by large trees, providing excellent sun protection, and there's a huge variety of toys for the children to enjoy. We highly recommend Mojgan and Gabi! If we ever have a second child, we wouldn't hesitate for a second to send them here.

My son ended up going for almost 2 years! After just a month we saw how much my son loved it and was learning. He had just turned 2, we thought the transition would be hard but he loved it and he loved Sheila. She truly cares for the kids. The environment and activities were engaging. He often came home singing new songs, with new crafts/activities, and a larger Spanish vocabulary, it was great. Sheila even helped support us when he began potty training and really helped us getting it done. We left because my son got into a preschool program but he will often still ask about his little friends and if he is going to Sheilas. Being a first time mom finding a place we trusted was a priority, little learners checked all the boxes and we feel we got so lucky to have found it.

My kiddo recently went here for over 2.5 years. I have zero complaints. Sheila is so caring,…read morepassionate and kind. She does an excellent job getting the kids excited to learn new things. She is very hands-on. She has such a gentle approach to how she interacts with the kids in her care. She has a huge outdoor space for them as well as a lovely organized indoor space. My kiddo loved every moment with her. She cooked fresh delicious breakfast, snack, lunch and even a second snack. We never had to stress about preparing food ahead of time which made getting ready in the mornings so much easier. My kiddo still asks for her food! She was so good at teaching the kiddos to be calm and supportive ofeach other. She really prepares all the kids to be successful in their next chapters whether it be preschool or TK classes. She is phenomenal. She sees the beauty in all their different personalities and truly appreciates them. Go check her out. She genuinely loves the kids in her care. She is the real deal.

We are so grateful for the care Reyna has provided for our son. From the very beginning, she…read moretreated him like her own--with so much love, patience, and genuine attention. It made such a difference knowing he was in such a safe and supportive environment every day. One thing we especially appreciated was how she kept us constantly updated with pictures and texts throughout the day. It gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected even when we were apart from him. Now that our son is starting preschool, we won't be sending him to daycare anymore :-( but we will truly miss Reyna and the wonderful care she provided to our son. She has played such an important role in his early years, and we're so thankful for everything she's done for our family. We will definitely miss her and can not thank you enough. We highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, warm, and dedicated caregiver. She is flexible as well and your kid will love it. Thank you Miss Reyna, from the Shah Family.

We are incredibly lucky to have found Reyna! Reyna took care of first my son, and then my daughter…read moreover a period of 4.5 years, so she cared for them from the infant stage to ages three and four when they went to preschool. We found her when we first moved to the area and quickly needed to find daycare to start new jobs, and she quickly became an important anchor for us in this community. Reyna feeds the kids home-cooked meals and really helped our picky eater to try and like new foods. (Also, not having to pack a lunch and snacks for the kids every day saves you so much time!) She does a range of arts and crafts projects with the kids, workbooks for the older kids, story time, and trips to the park/playground (interior to her complex) twice a day. She taught our kids the alphabet and their numbers (in English and Spanish) before we thought to, and potty-trained both kids (a HUGE help). Especially as first-time parents, she helped us navigate a lot of "firsts." She is very flexible and speaks to the kids in English and/or Spanish (whichever the parents prefer). Our kids made great friends at her daycare, and were well-prepared when they transitioned to preschool. Most importantly, she really knows and loves the kids, and tailors her care to their needs and interests. Our kids adore her (and often asked to go to her house even on weekends). I'm very sad not to see her every day anymore, but will still be bringing my kids to her house on school breaks and luckily will still have her in our lives.

We highly recommend La Casa de Lucy, one of our kids was there from ~8months - 3.5 years and our…read moreother kiddo was there from ~8 months to 2years. In addition to everything that has already been said, I'd reiterate at Lucy's our older kiddo would bring back 2-3 creative art projects per week. Both kids loved the food (we'd often come pick up the kids and marvel at how good it smelled right outside the door). Lucy would also send super thoughtful gifts for Father's/Mother's day. This is of course in addition to Lucy's house is very clean, Lucy is organized, has prompt communication with parents, and just sorta...knows when something is up with the kids and how to handle it. Our kids still "call" Yeya on the phone to say hello. All to say, this place was like a second family to us for several years, we're very grateful both our kids had their foundation here.

Then we met Lucy and everything changed. I started my daughter with Lucy at 5 months old and she is still there at almost 2, and we are planning to send our second there after she is born (due soon!). I can't say enough good things about Lucy and Yeya. They clearly love the kids so much. They provide food and snacks which makes it a lot easier as a parent and will help you with nap schedules, potty training, etc. They have very little closures throughout the year compared to most other daycares. Beyond the care that Lucy and Yeya provide, it's clear my daughter loves her friends from there. We recently started doing some playdates with her daycare buddies and she is so happy to see them every time. It's such a happy environment and we feel really safe and happy with our decision to send her to Lucy's!

She went from crying non stop to eventually blooming into one of the loudest kids in the class. Ms Rachel - Your nurturing, kind, and patient approach has made you more than just a teacher; you're like a second mother to her! Your impressive educational background in early childhood education has undoubtedly contributed to our daughter's advanced skills in speaking and counting, well beyond her years. We feel as if our daughter is way ahead of the curve before kindergarten just at 3.5 years old! She was taught mandarin, how to count to 100, all shapes, letters, alphabet, simple addition and math, and so much more including music and nursery rhymes/songs as Ms Rachel plays piano and sings. But what sets you apart is your heart. You've created a warm, loving, and safe environment that has not only accelerated her learning but also helped her grow into a confident and caring individual. Thank you for being such a positive influence in our daughter's life. We feel fortunate to have you as her teacher. We will actually enroll our future children into her schools, we do not trust any other daycares!

She is kind, patient, extremely caring, and oh so sweet! She welcomed our daughter as if she was her own! It only took our daughter one week to get adjusted to drop offs in the morning and now says 'byeeee mommy' and walks right into the house without crying! The growth and learning we have seen from our daughter does not go unnoticed! She has learned so much - she knows her letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and songs (she's now 2.5 years, started at 21 months). We cannot thank Mrs. Rachel and her team for all they have done for our daughter and the other students!

Most of the teachers; they are not only professionals, but actually are able to make an emotional connection. And kids can understand this and feel safe there.

As parents, it is hard to give 5* to someone taking care of your kids; but if you set your expectations practically - they deserve the rating.

From the very beginning, the owner, director and teachers created such a warm and welcoming environment that immediately put us at ease as parents. The teachers are truly special; caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids. Every day we dropped our children off, we felt confident they were safe, happy, and well cared for. One of the things we loved most was the well-rounded program. The weekly music and dance classes were something our kids looked forward to. We also really appreciated how the school celebrates different cultural holidays throughout the year. This daycare has played such an important role in our children's early years, and we're so thankful for the love and care they received here.

Choosing a school for your little one is such a stressful experience, but Harper makes it very…read moreeasy. We've been with them for two years now and have had nothing but good experiences. The admin staff, especially Ms. Lopez, is amazing and really cares about the students. Ms. Lopez is "on the ground" enough that she knows the kids names and they all say hi to her when they see her. The preschool teachers, Ms. Gwen, Ms. Margaret and Ms. Kim, are phenomenal. They approach any issues with kindness and sensitivity. They are also firm with the kids and set good boundaries and routines. Finding that balance is typically difficult, but they do it with finesse! The curriculum here, even with the preschool class, sets the kids up for success in higher grades. It balances play and fun with learning. From letter recognition to name writing to "STEM" - via tiny science experiments - music and Spanish, outdoor play and story time, they do it all. Since day one, my child has been excited to go each day and has thrived in the Harper environment. The learning progress I've seen, especially at such a young age, is astounding. We love Harper and appreciate all the staff very much! We hope to be a Harper family for a very long time to come!

Highly, highly recommended for elementary school! A lot of…read morethese reviews are for the daycare/pre-k programs, but I'd like to review the Elementary program, which is newer and smaller. Our son joined the Kindergarten program halfway through the year in Jan '25. He had been at a well-regarded RWC public school, but unfortunately he struggled there with behavior, academic, and motivation issues. Basically, he was slipping through the cracks. He was regressing academically, and most worryingly to me, he was starting to hate going to school. He started at Harper at the mid-year break. There was certainly an adjustment period - the Harper kids were *so* far ahead academically. But, the curriculum is individualized and the support was tremendous. It was amazing how quickly he improved on all fronts: behavior, academics, and motivation. He literally sprints from the car to class each morning. He is so excited and talks about what he learns constantly. He has developed a positive attitude, curiosity, and emotional maturity beyond anything we could have hoped for. Ms. Shaynee, his teacher, is an absolute rock star. We feel so lucky to have had her as his teacher. The class size for elementary grades at Harper is absurdly small right now. Like, 5-10 kids. At first, I thought it would be weird. But it's actually a wonderful number for this age, and it makes Harper such an incredible deal. It's obviously a new school and a new program, and I'm hoping it grows with him as he progresses through the grades. Overall, if you are looking for a private elementary, I just can't recommend Harper enough. No private school in this area is cheap, but I feel we get incredible value for our dollar. The fact that the aftercare is so affordable helps. Also, we hear that if you have multiple kids there then the cost goes down a lot.
