Schools in Cupertino, CA

“We had our older child attend this preschool between 2018-2020. It truly made a positive difference to his elementary education as he was KG ready.

When we needed a preschool again for our second child; we didn’t look anywhere else. I must say the quality hasn’t dropped over the years. My younger one is in Tembo Tots class with Ms Michelle. She has made a great impact on our child’s learning and development. He is a polite, well mannered kid who never misses to say his please and Thank you!. His vocabulary has improved a lot over the academic year he has spent in this class. Thank you Michelle for the tremendous job you have done.

The principal (Ms Suhasini) is very approachable and has a solution for all situations. Overall, I would highly recommend this school for anyone in the neighborhood who is looking for a preschool.”

“Our family has been part of the Happy Days Cupertino community for over two years — both of our kids attend — and it's been one of the best decisions we've made as parents. Here's what stands out:

+ THE TEACHERS: This is what makes Happy Days special. Our kids' teachers have known them since they were babies and toddlers. They know each child's personality, what lights them up, and what they need on a hard day. Every staff member greets our kids by name at pickup — not just their classroom teachers, everyone. That kind of continuity doesn't exist at larger programs. Some teachers also speak Spanish with our son, which is meaningful to our multicultural family. Many of them have been at Happy Days for well over a decade, they are clearly doing a great job at retaining their staff.

+ THE FOOD: Meals are cooked fresh on-site daily — hot soup, fresh fruits and vegetables, balanced meals our kids actually love. Our picky eater eats things here she refuses at home. The daily soup has quietly helped with fine motor skills (holding a spoon, scooping carefully) in a way that feels like lunch, not therapy.

+ SIBLING CONNECTION: Our kids are in different age groups but share the same playground with the infant care area separated by an open fence. The open layout lets children of different ages interact naturally, and watching our two spot each other across the yard is the best part of our day. Ms. Simran does a phenomenal job of capturing these sweet moments on camera!

+INFANT CARE: We started our youngest at 8 months. The 1:4 teacher-to-infant ratio, daily written activity logs, and classroom cameras gave us real peace of mind. Watching our baby hit every milestone with teachers cheering them on made the hardest part of going back to work so much easier. It was so hard when my daughter and I got sick often in the first few months, but the teachers were incredibly helpful in navigating that season.

+ POTTY TRAINING SUPPORT: Our oldest started in the transition classroom before being potty trained. The teachers were patient, encouraging, and never made it stressful — for our child or for us. The kids are still obsessed with Ms. Rosie to this day!

+ CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS: Happy Days embraces the diversity of its families through events and classroom activities. For a multicultural family like ours, this matters more than any test score. We love the Diwali, Easter, Lunar New Year, Earth Day, St Patrick's Day and other festivities so much!

+MS. STEPHANIE: She knows every child and every family. Responsive, honest, and genuinely invested. You can tell this isn't just a business to her. She's been at the facility for over 25 years and is truly committed helping these kids thrive.

We're now navigating the graduation out of Happy Days and the hardest part isn't academics — it's the thought of leaving Happy Days. Our kids didn't just go to daycare here. They grew up here.

If you're touring schools and feeling overwhelmed: go visit Happy Days. You'll feel the difference the moment you walk in.”

“We absolutely loved this preschool. Good Samaritan preschool was truly a blessing in our lives. The teachers are loving and attentive. They make every child feel safe, valued, and cared for, it's a family. The office staff goes above and beyond to help with all your preschool needs and more. The moment you walk through the doors you can feel the warmth. We are so grateful that we were a part of this preschool community. My family highly recommends this preschool for anyone who wants to feel apart of the community. It's a blessing knowing your child is safe, loved, and is exploring the true meaning of learning and friendship.”

“This is a terrific Montessori bilingual afterschool and preschool for children!! Really engaged staff and teachers, and excellent education as well. A very warm, loving, friendly school. Both of our daughters have loved basically growing up here !!”

“KinderCare is a reliable place. Regardless of which branch you choose, their program is standardized and their system is well organized. In particular, the De Anza branch is clean and bright, the teachers are warm and kind, and the administrative staff is supportive. We are able to focus on our work thanks to their reliable daycare and educational services. I highly recommend KinderCare to other parents.”

“Such a wonderful wonderful preschool! The environment and teachers are so caring and kind. Our child feels safe and loved and we feel so fortunate to be a part of such a great school.”

“My daughter joined Kinderland Child Development center when she was about 3.5 years. She was able to adjust very quickly and is eager to go to school everyday. They also provide nutritious food that includes breakfast, lunch and evening snacks which is very convenient. It is also very spacious and there is plenty of space for kids to play, they also have a few animals (like parrots & fishes) that keep the kids engaged. The teachers are also very enthusiastic and are organizing activities frequently. Parent communication is through leaflets that they give out at the end of the school which I find to be a little inconvenient.”

“I completed 84 practicum hours at Bright Horizons through San Jose City College, and my experience was incredibly positive. The teachers demonstrate outstanding work ethic and genuinely care about every child in their classroom. Their warm personalities, professionalism, and respectful attitudes create a nurturing environment where children feel safe and valued. They consistently follow developmentally appropriate practices, support individual needs, and model high-quality early childhood education. I left feeling inspired by the level of dedication and love they put into their work every day. I highly recommend Bright Horizons for both families and future educators looking for an excellent learning environment. Ms Sri and Miss Jolene, definitely open up a welcoming learning environment when you enter into their classroom.”
