Our experience with Butterflies Academy has been nothing short of amazing. My son absolutely loves attending this preschool, and it warms my heart to see him flourish in such a nurturing environment. The staff is attentive, caring, and truly dedicated to fostering a positive learning atmosphere. The curriculum is not only educational but also designed to encourage creativity and social development. I appreciate the transparent communication and the efforts the academy puts into creating a happy and enriching experience for the little ones. Highly recommend Butterflies Academy to any parent looking for a preschool where their child can thrive!

My daughter started at Butterflies academy when she turned two and we couldn't be happier with the love and care she received there. The staff are incredibly friendly, and familiar with child development; and the main school room is clean, spacious and well organized with plenty of natural light.They have a cute playground with shades for hot and sunny summer days, and a large parking lot that during school hours kids use to run around or bike.My daughter loves it there so much that even on weekends she asked to go there! Highly recommend this place.

My son has been attending this preschool since he was two years old. Initially, he couldn't speak English and didn't know how to interact with friends, but he has grown significantly.The advantage of this preschool is that it allows children to socialize with friends of various age groups.The teachers are all attentive, kind, and engage the children in diverse activities, which is why our son always enjoyed going to Butterflies academy. Even though we had to drive for a long time in the opposite direction of our first son's school, we didn't consider relocating him.I believe this preschool is operated with a comfortable and warm atmosphere while maintaining a well-structured system.I highly recommend it.

This place is expensive and will leave your child in the corner of the bathroom naked and crying as a form of punishment for wetting themselves. They will call you while you work since they can't handle a temper tantrum and give up on your kid. The teachers sound tired and annoyed, I think they are on something that sedates them. It's overcrowded and kids are constantly sick. When you ask for a refund after quitting on your kid in the middle of the month, making you scramble to find better childcare, they will sue you. If you want to waste money, time, and traumatize your kids, send your kids to Butterflies Academy!

I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the wonderful three years our child spent at your academy. It was an absolute pleasure to entrust our child to your care each and every day, knowing that they were in the best of hands.Your staff displayed exceptional care and dedication, and it was heartwarming to witness our child's eagerness to attend school. In fact, she would often ask about school even over the weekends! This enthusiasm is a testament to the nurturing environment you've cultivated.The variety of extracurricular activities offered, from yoga and music to art, science, and sports, enriched our child's learning experience significantly. She blossomed and advanced at an impressive rate, thanks to the hands-on activities thoughtfully crafted by your wonderful teachers.The daily photos and videos you shared allowed us to feel closely connected to our child's day-to-day experiences, which was immensely reassuring. The parent directory spreadsheet facilitated connections with fellow parents, enabling us to exchange valuable feedback about the program and arrange playdates beyond school hours.The annual parent-teacher conferences were not only informative but also provided an opportunity to connect with other families. We've had the privilege of forging lasting friendships through these interactions.Throughout our time with Butterflies Academy, we always had peace of mind, knowing that our child was not only safe and cared for but also enjoying a fulfilling and enriching time in your care. Your commitment to creating a warm, nurturing, and loving environment for children while their parents work is truly commendable.We are profoundly thankful for the positive impact you've had on our child's early years and for the love and care you've extended to our family. You've set a standard of excellence that will forever remain in our hearts.

This place is expensive and will leave your child in the corner of the bathroom naked and crying as a form of punishment for wetting themselves. They will constantly call you while you work since they can't handle a temper tantrum and give up on your kid asking you to pick them up. The teachers sound tired and annoyed every time I speak with any of the staff. I think they are on something that sedates them. The space is tiny compared to the number of kids they try to jam in there and kids are constantly sick. When you ask for a refund after quitting on your kid in the middle of the month, making you scramble to find better childcare, they will SUE you. If you want to waste money, time, and traumatize your kids, send your kids to Butterflies Academy!

My son joined Butterflies Academy last year when we moved from Virginia. I was very anxious to send him to a new preschool as he was already going through changes with the move. My husband and I visited couple schools around and when we met with Ms. Fahrinaz, from this first meeting I felt that this was the school I wanted my son to be in. When Ms. Fahrinaz explained us what they do, what their focuses are, I was able to see her passion and love for the kids. From the first day, my son loved being at the Butterflies Academy. He had an amazing year having fun, feeling loved and belonged, making friends, learning a lot, doing arts, yoga, music, story times, exercises, and many more activities. I cannot thank the teachers and the amazing staff enough for the wonderful, warm, very inclusive environment. He has been so fortunate to have been part of the Butterflies’ family ❤️He has been so excited to be there everyday and we are so happy to see and feel that. He is now transitioning to Kindergarten and we will deeply miss the wonderful Butterflies Academy family ❤️❤️

Butterflies academy is amazing. My son joined their program when he was 2.5 years old and he really enjoys his time being at school. Teachers are very supportive and caring. We moved to Sunnyvale recently and still continue to send our child to Butterflies because my child likes it so much!

This is a great school for young children. Our 4 year old did very well here. Very clean and large facility for the kids to play and learn. I love the daily updates through their app so I can see how my child is doing each day. I highly recommend Butterflies.

Butterflies Academy is a hidden gem nestled in Saratoga. I was very anxious when I started touring schools since my son had been home with me for 3 years. My husband and I toured several schools before selecting Butterflies Academy. Farinaz gave us a warm welcome and was so knowledgeable, kind, patient and answered all our questions. For the first time, I didn't feel anxious about sending our son to school. I felt excited for him to learn, explore, make new friends and felt a huge sense of relief knowing he would be in good hands.We enrolled our second child much sooner than expected (2 years old), because she really wanted to go to school like her big brother! I am continuously impressed by the level of love, care and commitment given to our children by the incredible staff. Our children have blossomed while attending this school and it's very heartwarming to watch. The monthly curriculum is thoughtfully planned out and there are wonderful activities incorporated into the program (yoga, sports, etc).There is diversity amongst the families which I find incredibly valuable. They celebrate all holidays and cultural traditions which is wonderful and all inclusive. They also emphasize and teach the importance of empathy, respect and independence.We love our little Butterflies community and are forever grateful for the seeds planted that will continue to grow!

My daughter has been going to Butterflies for a year and a half and loves it there. She has developed a lot of skills from the carefully curated curriculum and classes they have for the little ones. There is a family like environment where Ms. Naz who runs the school knows every kid and their likes/dislikes in detail. She brings treats for them, plays with them along with other teachers, and even organizes field trips. The teachers are all very patient and nice too. You cannot get a better daycare in the Saratoga area that offers so much at such a competitive pricing.

We love Butterflies! Ms Naz and the teachers are supportive and caring about the kids. And the program is well designed with so much fun for the kids to explore. They have art, music, yoga and sports enrichment courses every week and my kid loves them.My child experienced the language barrier when he started the program since we only speak our mother tongue at home. And the teachers were patient and positive to encourage my child to pick up English. I am glad to witness that my kid made not only language progress but also a lot friends since then.He is happy to learn and play at Butterflies. And that’s all I expected for a satisfied preschool program.

Our daughter joined Butterflies Academy this past year when we moved to California from the East Coast. We were very happy with our experience there - Ms. Naz, the teachers and the parents were all so welcoming and we felt at home right away. Our daughter really came out of her shell during her time there and made so many friends - it really became her home away from home. We were also delighted by how much she was learning and how safe and clean the school felt. Loved the Butterflies Academy!
