“Our daughter has spent the last 7 years as part of the Gymtowne Coastside crew, the last 5 as part of the competitive team. The communication was always top notch, her coaches, specifically Tamara Y. were amazing in my child's personal and competitive growth. The friendships she made will be cherished for years to come! As we now transition into the next phases of her growth, we wanted to ensure the future gymnasts know about how great this team is!”

“This is my 4 year olds favorite activity/class and given the choice she’d love to go here every day (she asks me if we have little gym today during pickup). Really appreciate all the patient instructors here who know how to engage and ensure a fun time for the toddlers and young kids while teaching them important skills!

Some activities are consistent across each class (sections kids rotate through in smaller groups) while others are varied (inflatables, hula hoops, different games etc). This keeps it interesting and isn’t monotonous.

The staff here is excellent and they seem to maintain the space and equipment well.”

“Our son James went here and absolutely loved it. He was always excited to go to school and always had good experiences to share with us when he came home. His vocabulary and speech improvement accelerated upon enrollment. All the teachers are very assertive in managing the kids and are very nurturing.”

“As first time parents, The Early Years (TEY) answered all of our questions from the early stages of preschool research. Since the beginning, they’ve been very informative and responsive. After doing an in-depth tour, I knew this was the perfect fit for my son. I started him right at 2, and they helped make the transition to school much easier (especially with all the anxiety it came with). From the fun activities they have planned throughout the week, to their snacks and lunches, daily reports, and their indoor/outdoor space, I’ve been so amazed at my son’s progress. I know I owe that to all the thoughtfulness and care that TEY offers. We are grateful knowing that we can trust wholeheartedly that our son is in great hands here. Thank you, TEY!”

“My son is 3 and he has been at Pacifica Co op through last fall up until now, and we could not be happier. We fell in love with the schools philosophy and facility right away but it was the teachers and school community that really won us over. We feel our son is incredibly safe and cared for at PCNS. The children are getting well thought out lessons every day along with art projects, singing, dancing, special guest readers, field trips, events and so much more. My little one has separation anxiety and the teachers have been so amazing to give my little guy a little extra TLC, to get him get through goodbyes . We are so happy with Pacifica Co-Op!! We will be so sad when it's time to move on. They really give the whole family such a great, preschool experience.

Trusting people with our children is hard, Pacifica Co-Op makes it easy! ??‍♂️”

“We would like to give it a Five starts, since we've had wonderful experience with the school. My son is happy there and has made many friends, which has helped him become more confident and excited about going to school.
One of the things we appreciate most is the bilingual program. My son has developed strong language skills and is becoming fluent in both languages, which is amazing for his growth. He also really likes his teachers. The teachers are kind, responsible, and truly care about the children's learning and well-being.
The school is always clean and well maintained. It's also very convenient that they provide lunch, fresh fruit, and snacks, etc. So we know our son is well taken care of throughout the day.
We've also been impressed by how much he learns through hands-on activities. He's constantly bringing home new skills and willing to share what he's learned.
We're very grateful for everything Genius Learning Preschool has done for our son and would highly recommend it to families looking for a caring, nurturing, good-quality preschool.”

“Kids Konnect Pacifica is absolutely wonderful! All of the teachers are so amazing and caring. My kid loves going to school so much that she runs up to hug her teachers whenever she sees them, which says everything about the warmth and love they give the kids.

She’s also learning so much in her classroom, especially craftwork, which she comes home so proud and excited to show us. It’s clear that the teachers put a lot of effort into making learning fun and creative.

On top of that, they’re redoing the playground and making the space even more amazing for the kids. We feel so lucky to have found a school that truly cares about both the education and happiness of our child. Highly recommend Kids Konnect Pacifica!”

“Excellent, I just enrolled my son and I am very satisfied so far. They are great. They provide updates through the App which is great. They are very responsive when you have something to discuss or ask.”

“We absolutely love MGM and could not be more grateful for the amazing teachers. They are not only incredible educators, but genuinely kind, caring humans who create such a warm, nurturing and engaging environment for the children. The student-to-teacher ratio is wonderful and it truly shows in the individualized care and guidance each child receives.

Our oldest absolutely soared in her transition out of preschool and now her younger brother is thriving as he is being guided through the program as well. Both of our children have flourished here and we truly believe the Montessori approach has played such a meaningful role in their growth, confidence, and independence.

Every day I feel so comforted knowing my children are in the best hands. The love, patience and thoughtfulness the teachers put into everything they do genuinely shines through. To top it all off, the campus is absolutely beautiful.

We could not ask for a better preschool experience for our family and are beyond grateful to be part of the MGM community.”

“Dad of 3 boys (11, 9, 6). Boys have been with Happy Hall Meadows' afterschool program since 1st, K, and TK, respectively. The staff, environment, and structure are all excellent. The staff developed excellent relationships with all our boys. There is some cross-over with their summer program as well, so that familiarity served as an added benefit.

Most importantly, I've seen them handle higher needs children and tough parenting situations with extreme grace and adaptability, always aiming for the best outcome for the children.”

“Our daughter has been at CMS for the past couple of years, and we honestly can't say enough good things about it. The teachers and staff are warm, patient, and clearly love what they do, and it shows in how much our daughter has grown.

We love how CMS makes an effort to make school fun and exciting. Such as doing themed days like pajama day or crazy hair day, water play, or the yearly Halloween parade. One of our favorite memories was the Christmas party, where the kids practiced songs and performed them for the families. Watching our daughter get up there with her classmates was such a special moment, and we could tell it gave her a real boost of confidence.

We've also been really impressed with how thoughtfully the curriculum is put together. They cover important topics including: phonics, counting, early math, patterns, writing, and spelling in a way that feels age appropriate and fun, not forced. I also like when they have themed weeks, including themes like the solar system, things we do during summer, or friendship which keeps things fresh and gives her something new to talk about at home. They also do a great job tying in nearby holidays through themed lessons and events, so the kids get to learn about and celebrate different traditions throughout the year.

We also really appreciate how connected the school keeps families through their app, with photo updates from the day, reminders, and notes about what's coming up. It's a small thing, but it makes a big difference.

Moving on to TK is bittersweet for us, but we're so thankful for the foundation CMS gave our daughter. Highly recommend to any family looking for a place that truly cares.”

“My daughter has been in the toddler room at Happy Hall for the past 9 months and has had an incredibly positive experience. She absolutely loves her teachers, and as a parent we appreciate their open communication and updates. We have really seen our child flourish and grow at Happy Hall!”

“My kids both went to Learning Links for several years and loved it! My 5-year-old is now in Kindergarten, and we still remember LL fondly and recommend it to all our friends. As some reviews state, there were some administrative and teacher turnover challenges for a period, but we never felt affected by it, and my children always thrived. The teachers are so wonderful, and it seems like many of the administrative challenges have resolved. In addition to the teachers, we loved the large outdoor play area that the facility provides. Childcare is expensive here, but we found LL to be a good value and didn't mind paying to make sure teachers are properly compensated.”

“Little Hugs has welcomed us with open arms. My child loves going there every day and learns so much from his amazing teachers and his peers. All of the teachers have love, patience, and warmth. I am so impressed by the songs that he comes home singing, the art that he creates, the vocabulary that he learns, and the manners that he is learning as well!

We also appreciate how there are special events for holidays that are carefully planned and executed. We are so lucky to have found little hugs and would recommend them without any hesitation.”

“We were very lucky to have found Latchkey for our 2023 summer camp option. First, and most importantly, the staff are genuinely engaged with the children and enjoy what they are are doing. Ms. Nicole and Mr. Matt (along with the rest of the staff) were constantly being talked about how fun they were by my daughter when we picked her up. Second, the hours of operation were perfect for us working parents. Latchkey offers standard 8am-5pm summer camp hours with the option of early 7am drop-off or late 6pm pick-up for a nominal cost if needed. The regular 8am-5pm hours were so much more generous and practical for the working parent than almost all other summer camp options I had researched (most of which started at 9am and ended 3:00/3:30pm, which would never had worked out for us). Third, the activities and excursions offered are varied and fun. They had a TK/K small summer camp group which did not go on all-day excursions like the older kids did, which was great because my K-rising daughter would not have been able to handle all-day field trips. The patience the staff had with the children was especially admirable (my daughter cried at drop-off everyday and still the staff were so nice and understanding each day). I totally recommend Latchkey as a great summer camp option and I'm looking forward to next year's enrollment. It's run by wonderful people and they deserve much appreciation.”

“Friends to Parents (FTP) Child Development Center has been such a blessing for our family. From day one, it was obvious that this isn’t just a daycare as it’s a warm, welcoming place where the staff truly cares about each child as an individual.

Both of my kids (now 6 and 4) started at FTP when they were just 6 months old. We’ve always loved the teachers in Rooms 9 and 12. They manage to be both professional and genuinely caring, and it shows in how they interact with the kids. My children have really thrived there. Their days are always filled with hands-on activities, sensory play, music, art, and so many opportunities to learn and grow. I’ve seen such a huge difference in their confidence, social skills, and communication. Their language, motor skills, and independence have all grown so much thanks to the routines and activities the teachers put together.

The teachers provide conferences and evaluations for each child. As they age, preparing them for kindergarten becomes a priority.

If you’re looking for a daycare that offers amazing early childhood education, great communication, and a genuinely loving atmosphere, I honestly can’t recommend Friends to Parents enough. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done for our family.”

“Wonderful Summer Camp Experience!

My kid attended the summer camp this year, and it was such a positive experience from start to finish. I had just moved from San Jose to Burlingame, so I am a bit worried about how my child would adjust to a new environment. But that worry disappeared right away — the teachers were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, and they helped our child settle in so naturally.

By the end of the first session (which was actually the camp’s third session of the summer camp), my kid loved it so much that I decided to register for both the next and the final sessions as well. Every session had a clear and engaging theme, and my child would come home excited to share stories about what he did and what he learned that day.

The teachers truly went above and beyond to make sure every child felt cared for and included. Thanks to them, my child had an unforgettable summer full of joy, learning, and friendship.

I am so grateful to all the teachers and staff for making this summer so special. Thank you again for everything!”
