Graduation not well planned out. Please invest in a new speaker system we could not hear any of the speakers and awards given out.

Both my boys attended Sunshine school from age 1-4. We love Sunshine school! My youngest just…read moregraduated from Sunshine this past summer. He was at the Vinci Park location with Mrs. Emily. She, along with the other teachers there are all very caring and kind. Mrs. Emily is the head teacher at Vinci Park. She is very attentive and willing to speak to me via text or phone at any time when I had questions or concerns. The students learn to sing English and Chinese songs, they do various arts and crafts, and their activities are diverse and fun. My son enjoyed going to school every single day! I am very appreciative of Sunshine school and will alway have fond memories of my boys growing up at this school!

My son has been at sunshine school since 8 months to 4 years old. Overall experience was very good…read moreas he was mostly very happy and healthy, and academically learned what I had expected. Last year he was at the Vinci Park campus where he is in the orange class. The staff at this campus are super loving, caring and friendly. My son was able to quickly adapt and love the teacher here, and he is especially fond of Ms. Huang and Ms. Emily. At one point he refused the idea of going to a school without Ms. Huang lol... One of the reason we picked this school was that I wanted my son to speak mandarin in early childhood. Most of the teachers here are native mandarin speaking, and this is a bi-lingual school. So if you are looking for mandarin immersion experience for your kids, this is a great choice! My son so far is a fluent mandarin speaker and he speaks some basic English too -- I am sure he will pick up that very fast later. My son learned letters, numbers, and some basic Chinese characters read and write by age 4. I am not academic focused and I am very happy with the progress. The school has plenty of outdoor time, and artwork time -- every day my son brings home a piece of work he made at school which is really nice. Last but not the least, the staff are super flexible and supportive of working parents. My drop off and pick up hours are based on my work meeting schedule, and they were always understanding and supportive. One time we went on international travel and after we got back, my son was jet lagged and super moody when I drop him off, Ms Emily gave us a few minutes to work it out, and told me if you need to go, we got it. If you like to spend more time to calm him down, feel free to do so. She checked with us multiple times to check my son was ok as well as I was ok with the delayed drop off. Super appreciated as a working parent!

I wouldn't be surprised if Yelp takes this review down (FOR A 2nd TIME) but that would be…read moreincredibly disappointing, considering this platform is meant for people to share all experiences, not just the positive ones. The administration at this school is fully aware of how poorly they've treated their staff. Instead of addressing the issues, they seem more focused on hiding the truth. For this matter my daughter will not enroll in this school. The front staff are so rude! They need to be trained on proper customer service. And the principal is rude as well. They all need better training! But what's done in the dark always finds its way to the light. To any parents considering this school please think twice. For the sake of your children and the educators who deserve better.

I went to this school from kindergarten through fifth grade and here are my thoughts. it's been…read moreyears since i've graduated but there's this thing that has been bugging me. when i went in to third grade, there was this thing during lunch called "silent time". we would have 15 minutes to talk to our friends while eating, then the last 15 minutes it NEEDED to be dead silent. we can't make eye contact or laugh with our friends if we wanted a full recess time. i get it the school wants children to focus on eating, but even if you're finished eating you can't even play rock paper scissors with your friends if you don't want to get in trouble. smile, not a full recess. what am i supposed to do when im finished eating, slump with my head down like a depressed child?? why couldn't i just be homeschooled if i didn't want to talk with my friends ?? Sure the education was pretty good until it came to the point where most of the good teachers left. i hope the new principal turns this school around.

My kid goes to this school in recent 4 years. We love it! Teachers and staffs are very nice, and…read morecare about kids. Kids have some maths and ELA worksheet everyday, but they can be finished in 30 minutes. They also have some maths and ELA exams throughout the year. School provide Freckle or RAZ kids as extension reading practice. Teachers contact parents for kids behaviors. Social worker and psychologist are also onsite to support kids mental needs. PTA organizes some events each year, all family can join. We have some school clubs too. I would recommend this school to other parents.

Dead grass everywhere but hey, it's summer and we're in a drought. I live a few blocks from here so…read moreJoey and I decided to walk around one night. Our conversations are generally 80% fitness and 20% whatever else. It's nice to start meeting people that have the same level of passion as I do when it comes to health and fitness. Like Basho, the gym comes first (after work).. that is the type of mentality that I have which I appreciate. A few people was there at the school as well but they were catching Pokemon. We just sat and stared up at the sky which is what I never do. It was nice, I guess but it was nicer when we talked about the Spartan race. This school is an automatic chill place when there is no lunch, dinner, or anything else involved - just good conversations. This is a very safe neighborhood. Good school district. This school belongs in the Berryessa Union School District. I moved just recently, I will update once school starts in the fall. Let's see how idiotic the drivers can be when they drop off their kids at school...

In addition, the school also offers extracurricular activities such as band, clay art, debate, and others which they totally love. The entire staff is always helpful and caring, and there is a family feeling here. If you are looking for a great school with great teachers and staff, I would recommend checking out MCS. We had checked out a few schools before landing on MCS, and we were glad that we made the right decision.

My son goes to this school since Kindergarten. He is now in 5th grade. Let me tell you why I am…read morepleased with this school. 1) The teachers are very hard-working. They respond to Emails even after 8pm. 2) The teachers are very encouraging to the students. My son asked the teacher a question. The teacher will say, wow you are so detailed. They didn't just reply to the question but gave encouraging words 3) Happy Students. I have interviewed many parents before sending my son here and they all said their kids are very happy attending this school. 4) Polite students. I once took a cake to my son's school and shared the cake with his classmates. When I left, 3 or 4 students came to me and said thank you. 5) Strict discipline. My son was kicked out of school for 1 day because another kid misled him. He had to write an apology letter per the teacher's request. I am pleased with this because I want a school to be strict on discipline. If you are being late or bully other kids or misbehave, and no consequence is given, this is not good for the child. So I am glad my son learned the lesson early. 6) Extremely generous. They give generous financial aid, and I am very thankful 7) A lot of after-school enrichment program choices.

It feels weird to rate a school via Yelp lol. For educational purposes, please check other resources I have had young relatives attend this school with good teachers/ experiences Once I came about 10 minutes late to pick up my niece (miscommunication between 220pm versus 230pm ). They call the mom and me ; they had my niece wait by the office with staff and I had to sign in my info in order to take her home. It does show that they care a lot of their students safety. There's multiple playgrounds here for various ages, including the toddlers. My nieces love to play there and it's decently well kept (newer swings, no trash). Also has Large grassy areas too. I walk my dog here on leash so she can run around and play for a bit There's also a back area where there are tables and grill stations to host a picnic by the playgrounds on weekends. Basketball courts used to be open but I think they now close the gates (for safety? To protect the equipment?). Website https://brooktree.berryessa.k12.ca.us/
