“We enrolled our son 6 months ago & found it the perfect place for child development.Ms Priya and the entire staff at PMP demonstrate a genuine commitment to the well-being and development of the children.The curriculum and teaching methods employed by PMP are both enriching and engaging.It's wonderful to see how my child is not only having fun but also learning and developing essential skills.The communication from the preschool to parents is clear and regular.We feel well-informed about our child's activities, progress, and any relevant updates from the preschool.Overall, we are delighted with our experience at PMP and feel fortunate to have such a supportive and enriching environment for our child's early education.Thank you to the entire team for their hard work and dedication.”

“Centro Armonía is a wonderful place where authentic care and learning happens. Teachers and staff are wonderful, nurturing caring, and responsible. They provide the best education and care for our daughter and we couldn't be happier with Centro.”

“The transition for our son to start school was made remarkably smooth, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Primrose Evergreen staff. One of the most heartwarming touches was how the front desk administration greeted us by name and even remembered the name of his favorite stuffed animal, Moo-Moo. It's those little personal touches that truly make Primrose feel like an extension of our family.Our son adores his teachers, and he never stops talking about Ms. Julie, Miss Vijaya, and Miss Kassandra. Their dedication, patience, and genuine love for what they do shine through in every interaction, and it's evident how much they care for each child in their care.Recently, I had a poignant moment when our son confidently said "Bye Mom" as I dropped him off—a testament to the secure and nurturing environment that Primrose provides. It brought tears to my eyes, but they were tears of gratitude and joy knowing thathe was in such capable hands. For any parents seeking a nurturing and supportive environment for their little ones, I wholeheartedly recommend Primrose School of Evergreen. They don't just educate children; they nurture their hearts and minds, creating a foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth. Thank you, Primrose, for everything you do!”

“My son started here just this week and it's been wonderful! Great location and teachers. I was so nervous but the teachers put me at ease and I pick up a happy boy everyday! That's the best sign that he tells me he's late for school :)”

“My son is attending Discovery Preschool for the second year. I came to Discovery back in 1975-1977. I absolutely love the outside focus. As a co-op preschool we (parents) get to see the growth hands on!! The teachers are amazing and passionate about guiding our kids through play/ learning/ life skills. Our son is proud to be a Discovery preschool kid!!”

“Our son started daycare at ECLA in January and due to a change in work circumstances, we will be moving him to a different daycare. I found this a very very difficult decision, as my son absolutely loves it at ECLA! From the moment he started, he has been welcomed with loving open arms, and he has enjoyed his time here so much. The teachers Ms Gulshan and owner Ms Adidi have such a loving and warm way with the children (but also firm, so a great balance); my son loves spending time with them. The teachers put their whole heart into being with the children and are always excited to see him. They are always engaged; singing, playing outside, crafting, dancing, getting kids excited for activities, listening to them. The environment at ECLA is very calm and supportive, there is a great energy at the school. I hope my son will like his new daycare as much as he does ECLA, it feels like tearing him away from his family. He has had a great start here and I will always be grateful for having found this wonderful place.”

“My two daughters attend the after school program. The best part is that Mrs Mercedes picks them up after school, takes them to her center and helps them with their homework. That is a HUGE help for me! They also do art, games, reading and my daughters practice their Spanish.The staff is great, the center is clean and well organized.Im so glad we found this center! It really helps me a lot and I don’t have to worry about picking up and homework. My daughters really enjoy their time there!”

“We have had a wonderful experience at this daycare where our daughter has been thriving. The staff is incredibly caring and professional, providing a warm and stimulating environment for the kids. Our daughter loves her teachers and has made great friends. The facility is always clean and well-organized, which gives us peace of mind. They also have a fantastic curriculum that includes plenty of hands-on learning and creative play. We are genuinely impressed by the care and education our daughter receives here and highly recommend this daycare to other parents.”

“After having a line-up of nannies we decided that we needed more structure, stability, and peer interaction. We visited many daycares in our area, and we settled on Evergreen Montessori on YB. Since attending, my daughter has sung a lot more songs, created wonderful keepsake art, and made a lot of friends. The staff is stellar, and I truly can see the care and concern each has for my daughter. The staff watches my daughter closely and aligns with her interests. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Evergreen Montessori on YB. We look forward to watching our daughter blossom.”

“Our experience with Reach Montessori Preschool for the past 2 years has been great. Our daughter has learned a lot and she also enjoys her time with her teachers and friends at school. Ms. Annie and the rest of the staff are amazing.”

“We've had 2 children at 3D Preschool over the last 5 years and they both had a wonderful experiences and have developed good friends and ongoing connections to their teachers. 3D has a well-rounded curriculum that help children develop socially, emotionally, and academically. It is a safe and extremely clean facility, with a lot of extra activities like field trips, sports coaches, music teachers, professional picture day, holiday performance, etc. There were different themes/ focuses of earning which helped things stay fresh and interesting for the kids. They use an app for communication, which has helped a lot, and the director is very hands on in the classrooms when they are working on getting new teachers up to speed. Plus it is very reasonably priced, which is hard to find in this area. If I had to say anything negative, it's only that they can be a little "old fashioned" in gender expectations such as having prizes oriented toward "girls" or "boys" and what they should wear for special performances, etc. However, overall it's been wonderful having our children there.”

“We have been with child kingdom for over 7 years now. Jaime and Yelena are beyond amazing!!! They have worked with my son when no one elese wanted to. I truly appreciate how they have taken the time to try so many things with him to figure out what would work for him. My son has adhd and Asd. Ms. Jaime and Ms. Yelena really take the time teach their students. They always go above and beyond for their students /parents.”

“We are believers of importance of early childhood education and its profound impact on a child's wellbeing throughout his/her life. Our oldest was lucky enough to receive one of the best preschool programs available in the bay area before that campus was repurposed. That experience set our bar high when we were looking for our daughter. After search and search, Kiddie of Almaden gave us a different vib. To put it in a simple way, Rick and Jennifer run it as a place to nurture, not a place of business.
The care and love for children diffuses in every day details. The teachers and staffs are very attentive. Our daughter was home cared up to the point when we joined Kiddie, so she was very introverted on top of her HS nature. With all the love and supports from her teachers, day by day , we saw that she opens up and expresses herself with confidence. We know that won't happen if she weren't feeling safe ,loved and guided at school. She also started her Soccer and Piano journey while at Kiddie, as these are offerred among other extraciraculums.
Our daughter is graduating from Kiddie after this summer, joining a top school that has pretty rigorous admission. So we will be saying goodbye to Kiddie temporarily. But we can't wait to send our youngest back in as soon as he is ready.”

“My son Ryan attended Sunshine preschool at Vinci Park for 2 year and he loves it! The teachers are nice and really take care of kids. My son has grow up and left. But he often misses Sunshine and went back to visit teachers occasionally.”

“We are so grateful to everyone at Heart and Hands Preschool for the incredible support and care they have provided for both of our children. From the moment we enrolled, the entire team made us feel welcome and reassured, creating a warm and nurturing environment that has helped our kids grow in so many ways.

Our son started out very shy and struggled with talking to others. Ms. Priscilla, his first teacher, was wonderful in helping him with the transition. She worked with him patiently, encouraging him to use his words to express himself, and her support made such a difference in building his confidence.

When we enrolled our daughter, she was paired with Ms. Marcella, who has been equally amazing. Ms. Marcella has helped her tremendously, especially with potty training, showing endless patience and understanding during this important stage.

Currently, our son is with Ms. Margaret, who continues to be a fantastic support for him. She encourages him to use his words in all situations, and the weekly homework she sends home has been very helpful. It allows us to reinforce what he’s learned in class, and it’s made a big impact on his learning.

A special thanks to Ms. Bobbie, the director. She has been a constant source of support, always available to help with any questions or concerns. Her dedication and leadership truly shine through in every aspect of the school.

I highly recommend Heart and Hands Preschool to any parent looking for a caring, supportive first preschool experience for their child. The teachers and staff are simply amazing, and we’re so grateful to be part of this wonderful community.”

“Our daughter is in her second year at Sinai Nursery School and is thriving in every way. She is happy to go to school, speaks fondly of her teachers and classmates, and is learning and playing every day. The teachers and staff at Sinai are extremely kind, attentive, communicative, and knowledgeable about children and their development. We receive regular updates on the learning experiences they are designing for students. Though we are not Jewish, we have found that our child really enjoys learning about their cultural traditions and rituals - often teaching us new things at home. We are delighted to be part of this school community, and most importantly our daughter is happy, safe, and growing. We highly recommend this program!”

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SCHOOL! Ms. Maria and Ms. Mary are so so sweet! My daughter had zero problems transitioning and cannot wait for her next day of school! The school is clean, loaded with toys and outdoor activities. Every month is a new curriculum and new lessons. Each child has their own pencil box with supplies and a name tag with their little names on them. Outside there are tons of activities and play structures to play on! I know my daughter will thrive here :) thank you Ms. Maria and Ms. Mary !”

“I am sending my son to this school for a year and he enjoys it so much.The teachers are very good at giving kids guidance, help them to form good manner and learn.”

“The teachers are kind and friendly. The director and assistant director provide support for the teachers and create a safe environment. The food is clean and the kitchen is an open area. Every morning, I can tell from my baby's expression that she is excited to go to KinderCare.”

“Across 8 years and 2 kids, Creative Minds has been a constant force in our lives. I couldn't have asked for a better preschool, a better village for both of my boys.The extremely well-thought activities kids are doing each day, the exposure to fine and gross motor skills, outdoor play incorporating elements from nature (like bugs, butterflies, plants, etc.), academic skills that eventually prep them for kindergarten (somehow without making it feel like school), "sharing" sessions where kids get exposure to "presenting" toys/ideas/life events in front of their friends, all make it such a full circle program. These little human beings are really so lucky to get a head start in life like this!This school is also huge in teaching kids how to take good care of their bodies. Your kids will definitely learn about healthy foods, brushing their teeth, washing their hands and importance of sunscreen. You won't see birthday parties every week with tons of sugar in this school. There is already so much exposure to sweets outside of school that I am really happy not to have to fight this battle within the school.Another noticeable thing in this school is the minimal to no turnover of teachers. My boys are 5 years apart and they had the same loving teachers! These kids are the most valuable things in our lives and it is VERY important that we are leaving them with teachers who love doing what they do and who get treated with utmost value and respect from management as well as the parent community.I had done a lot of due diligence while researching preschools for my older one in 2016 including chain-based schools with big campuses and what seemed like endless space. This school has been just the right size for our family to build community and get individualized care & attention for both of my kids.Thank you to everyone at Creative Minds for being there during the most difficult time of any parents' lives!”

“My son attended pre school and kindergarten at the learning academy. He had one on one time with the teachers due to small classes. Teachers are nice and caring specially Mrs. Joan. He love going to the school that’s why we kept him for kindergarten. Will definitely recommend this school.”

“My daughter started at Bright Horizons Silly on Valley when she was just 15 months old, and shes now 2.5 years, she has transitioned from the toddler room (1-2 years) to pre-K (2-3 years) when she turned to 2.Our experience here has been truly wonderful, and as parents, we are extremely grateful for the exceptional care provided by the dedicated and warm-hearted teachers. They are not only responsible but also full of energy.The facility opens at 7:30 am and closes at 6 pm, offering the convenience of drop-off and pick-up times that work well for us. Additionally, they provide a free lunch through My Green Lunch Company, which saves us valuable time.My daughter has formed strong and positive connections with all her teachers, and we have complete trust in the staff here.”

“My son enrolled into this math school since Fall last year. His math has been improved and he credited think Math is so fun to learn. He likes this school and looks forward for his classes. Especially when he did good in class, the school provided a reward system and he could earn his favorite Roblox gift cards.”

“We’ve had our daughter at Action Day Lincoln for almost a year and have had the most wonderful experience there. Since the first time we toured with Raven, and have gotten to know all of her teachers (Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Bri, Ms. Yessi, Ms. Jo) they have all been amazing and very loving and caring towards her. They’ve really helped her grow so much in the time she’s been there and we are so thankful for them! The front office staff, Susan and Marissa, and the director Smriti, have always been very willing and understanding to answer any questions or concerns we may have had as well. It’s been great knowing that my daughter is in great and caring hands when we drop her off.”

“My son has great time here. The teachers are very good. Particularly Miss Joselyn is very nice to kids. The director Nahzie does good management of the whole facility and organizes events every quarter. For summer they do exciting summer programs which includes games for the little ones. My son brings loads of worksheet every week. They keep the little ones pretty busy. The play area is big and was a must have for our son.”

“I absolutely love Tulip! All of the teachers here are very friendly and accommodating. They take such excellent care of my babies and are very good at communicating. Ms. Neeru is always so nice & approachable, and Ms. Natasha is so knowledgeable & well-spoken. They really make me feel comfortable leaving my children in their care because I know they are in good hands. My babies have progressed so much. I couldn't be happier!”

“My daughter started at Evergreen Montessori schools at the Yerba Buena location and switched to the Aborn location when she switched from the Nurture Program (1.5 to 3.5yo) to the Discover Program (3.5 to K) once she was potty trained. So we have experienced both schools and love them both equally (our location switch was only due to driving convenience).To say that she is THRIVING would be an understatement! My daughter is 33 months old and she already has phonemic awareness (identifying and sounding out her letters), is fully potty trained, chooses and puts on her own clothes and shoes, can set and clear her own table, eats independently, has memorized (and is constantly singing) countless songs and nursery rhymes, she’s even begun coloring within the lines and starting to trace shapes, numbers, and letters. She is able to work independently and has also built relationships with her peers and teachers. She understands categorizing and sequencing, and she is often practicing her life skills at home by putting away her own toys, helping with cooking and cleaning, and is even responsible for certain tasks like feeding our dog.Both schools’ teachers and staff are all very well versed in the Montessori way. This is a true Montessori school. Not only is the curriculum all Montessori based, but how the teachers monitor and handle children’s behavior aligns with Maria Montessori’s teachings. They are all kind, caring, and are able to adhere to boundaries, creating a safe and nurturing environment for the students.They recently had a Winter Program performance. Not only did ALL children sing AND dance to 13 holiday songs from around the world, but my daughter was selected to lead the Peace Prayer by Ghandi (11 lines MEMORIZED). Getting 2 schools of children under 6 years old to stand on stage and perform for 20+ minutes was absolutely mind-blowing and such a delight!Needless to say we love the Evergreen Montessori Schools. My daughter RUNS to the school door each day eager to learn and play and comes home beaming, ready to tell us everything she learned. I highly recommend Evergreen Montessori!”
