Schools in Alameda, CA

“I really appreciated being able to do the learning modules at home and the skills test at a local site through Zoom. The flexibility worked great for my busy schedule. For the skills test, I went to an office that was near my home, and they had all the materials available to use. They will guide you through the practice and give you an assessment after practicing the skills. The entire process was very easy and quick. Thank you!”

“Kiddie Kampus was a wonderful preschool, and continues to be a wonderful community for our family. We had two children there, seven years apart, and it was a delight to get to return. The only downside perhaps is that it was hard to go from a play based environment with so much outside time to a traditional elementary school afterwards.”

“Small Size Big Mind is magnificent!Such a gorgeous waterfront location. Such wonderful handmade lovingly-crafted environments, indoors and out. And best of all are all the wonderful, caring, creative and patient teachers. Special shout-out to his good friend Teacher Wyatt who welcomed him into the fold when he arrived. Our son loves it and we highly recommend it.”

“I can't express enough how much we love Peter Pan. Sending your baby off every day to be taken care by others is not something you choose lightly. I feel so grateful that I can confidently send my little one to daycare every day and he has an absolute blast. He has buddies he's been side by side with since he was 6 months old and class has such wonderful teachers. The leadership communicates effectively, proactively, and respectfully with us. I adore all the teachers, and I'm so happy that they've made it so easy for us to focus on what we need to do each day knowing that our baby is perfectly cared for. He loves the activities and playground and songs, etc. We're starting our second baby there soon, and although I have years to go, I'll surely miss this daycare so much when we leave.”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Little Seeds! Both of our kids have attended over the years, and it’s been such a loving, engaging environment for them. The teachers truly care about the children, and our youngest actually ASKS to go to school now to be with her friends — which says it all. There’s always something fun happening, from themed events to special sensory activities that keep the kids excited to learn and play.

We’ve made great friends through the community and are genuinely sad that our time here is coming to an end. If I HAD to mention one area for improvement, it would be around the daily communication and admin updates — but honestly, that seems to be a common theme for most daycares on the island.

Overall, we’re so grateful for the care, kindness, and joy this daycare has brought into our children’s early years and especially during COVID. Highly recommend!”

“We are grateful our child is at this center! The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and set-up so thoughtfully. The staff prioritize safety and implement solid security measures, which really puts us at ease after drop-offs. All the staff we've interacted with are well-experienced and have helped support my child through different stages of development. We've also found them to be very professional, accommodating, and approachable!
Overall, we've had a positive experience so far and feel confident our child is well-cared-for and supported here!”

“Both my sons have attended The Child Unique, from 2019-2020 and then from 2021 up until the present. My older son is shy and a bit anxious, but I believe his Montessori teacher's calm presence really drew him out and helped him establish a strong bond with her. He loves creating and drawing, and his teacher last year really encouraged that and he flourished under her care! He graduated from TCU this past spring and is now doing well in kindergarten at our local public school. Our three year just started attending TCU this summer and similarly, has bonded really well with his primary classroom teachers. He's always happy when I pick him up and is signing the Mandarin songs he's learning from his Mandarin teacher. He seems to really be loving school and so both my husband and I are relieved and happy he is at TCU like his brother was!”

“We are so incredibly sad to be leaving this center as a family! We have lived in 9 states over the course of our military career and utilized a mix of government, private and corporate daycares and “preschools”, this center and the incredible staff FAR outshine any experience we have had to date. From the first call with Ms Patti while I was pregnant with our youngest daughter, thru the first emotional weeks of bringing in our 5 month old baby we have felt a deep trust and so much support over the past year. The teachers are so exceptional and truly work as a collaborative team. Any concern or question we had was always throughly and quickly resolved and speaking to one member of the infant care team always meant that the whole staff knew what was going on unlike many daycares where communication is lacking. A special shout out to Ms Valya, Ms Lilia, Ms Erika, Ms Krystal, Ms Ebony, Ms Veronica and Ms Patti for the compassion and deep care they bring to an incredibly demanding profession. This team goes above and beyond to make parents included and families updated on any events happening. Our Daughter Maisie loves to be dropped off and always perks up as soon as she hears the doorbell when we enter the facility. We will always be grateful for the time we had here and are so sad to have to move again. Much Gratitude from our family to yours Harbor Bay Kindercare.”

“My son has absolutely loved this preschool! He’s made his first real friends, learned so many skills to get ready for kindergarten, and always comes home happy. The teachers are kind and supportive, the facility is clean and welcoming, and the yard is beautiful. After a bad experience at a previous preschool, this place was a lifesaver. I am so grateful!”

“Amelia Earhart Elementary is an amazing school! My brother, cousins and I are all alumni and now I'm so proud that my son is here! It's so impressive to see how far the school has advanced academically over the years, but more importantly the strong sense of community is still thriving!”

“We’ve had two children graduate from TTP and a third is currently attending, and our experience has been consistently wonderful. All the teachers— and Mrs. Kim— are absolutely exceptional. If COVID has taught us anything, it’s how vital teachers truly are. Teaching children in their “terrible twos and threes” is no easy task, yet the TTP staff has done a marvelous job lovingly setting boundaries and helping my children navigate their big feelings. I’ve also been so impressed with the TK curriculum, which prepared my kids beautifully for Kindergarten. On a personal level, the encouragement I’ve received from the teachers has meant so much to me as I continue to learn how to parent effectively. TTP has wonderful teachers and staff who truly love what they do and we have been truly blessed by them.”
