The regular updates, monthly newsletters and photo albums kept us connected and informed about our child's experiences and progress.We are genuinely grateful for the caring and professional staff. It's clear that Tiny Einstein is not just a daycare but a place where children are encouraged to learn, grow, and build a strong foundation for their future education.”

“My daughter is blessed to be attending her second year at St. Joseph and we intend on staying throughout 8th grade. I've always wanted her to attend a Catholic school and after spending just one year with St. Joseph, I am positive that it is one of the best decisions I've made for her yet. St. Joseph's community is so inclusive that we feel like part of one big intertwined family, regardless of grade. Not only is my child thriving academically from extremely attentive teachers, but also, she is being guided to uphold morals and values that I truly feel are helping her grow into a kind and successful human being.School faculty are constantly looking for new ways to improve and asking for feedback from parents, truly showing they care! Mrs. Placencia, Mrs. Usis, and Mrs. Holmes have been incredibly kindhearted and attentive to all of our needs. Every morning we are greeted with warm smiles and positive energy. After school, my daughter is ecstatic to tell me about what she learned and how much she adores her friends and teacher Ms. Villagomez.Now that we are on summer vacation, my daughter is counting the days until back to school! Cannot recommend this school enough, I am confident that my child is in extremely capable and loving hands. So proud and grateful to be a part of this wholesome learning environment. Thanks, SJMV!”

“Both of my children attended CLC Preschool, and I can't say enough good things about it! The teachers are all incredibly loving and supportive, and they create a warm and welcoming environment for the kids. The school is committed to play-based learning, and under Adela's leadership, the school provides kids with plenty of opportunities to play and explore.My children thrived at CLC Preschool. I highly recommend the school to any parent looking for a high-quality preschool experience for their child.”

“Little Prodigy is just fantastic. Our kids spent a few years there, from daycare to preschool, and it was all just perfect. Our kids had a lot of fun and also learned a lot. They surprised us often with what they just had learned at LP, and they also made friends they continue to play with now.But most importantly, the people who make LP, all of them... teachers, directors, admins, everyone: they are all really amazing, warm people who really love the kids and put so much energy in making LP as great as it is. Our family will never forget Little Prodigy. It's really a great community, a second family for our little ones.”

“This is such a wonderful "hidden gem" preschool. Play-based curriculum with a very low teacher-to-student ratio, an extremely loving staff, and an engaged parent community. They have recently expanded their hours and are offering a full-day program starting fall 2023. Highly recommended! (Note: the preschool is affiliated with the attached church, but it is not a religious school.)”

“Cannot say enough good things. My two sons (now 4 and 6) have spanned 4 pre-schools in Silicon Valley and Learning Links has been by far the best. Here's why:1. Amazing teachers and staff. Lori, Jennifer and Tarie are people you see everyday and are consisently, happy friendly and helpful--all setting the culture and stage for a wonderful environment. All the teachers seems wonderful, but my kids specifically had natalie (2 yr), joyce (3 yr), Jojo (4 yr) and I highly recommend all of them. They have an incredible way of "holding the line" but doing it in a loving and authentically caring way. 2. Digital comms and covid- In the horrible time of covid when no one was allowed anywhere and we had no idea what was happening in schools, the teachers did an amazing job of posting pics, updates, etc. Especially teacher natalie who was in the thick of it with my 2 year old.3. Support--whether it is Teacher Jojo who finally was able to help my son eat lunch at school (a major barrier we had) or Teacher Joyce (who seriously helped us with regulation) our kids have flourished in these classrooms.4. Austism and disabilities support: If your child is on the spectrum, go to learning links. They have an awesome inclusion program and are well familiar with kids on the spectrum and how to integrate their needs with the classroom.5. Hours: We've made part time work here because it has the most generous part time schedule 9-3 pm! Most other part time programs are only 3 hours. In general the value is one of the highest from an hourly rate. Also, they stay open on many more days than other schools.”

“Submitting this review for the rentals of Tateuchi Hall and Reay Recital Room for our nonprofit organization. The staff is wonderful to work with and Despina will go above and beyond to ensure that your expectations have been met. The Reay Room is spacious for a small group. The Tateuchi Hall is a grand concert Hall, for a large capacity audience. It is modern and spacious and the technical staff is a pleasure to work with.”

“My son started in Building Kidz when he was just 8 months olds. Since the first day I felt super safe leaving him there. Security seemed great, and the space was very clean. We stayed in building kidz all the way to 5 years olds, and I do have to say I was very sad to leave. My son just started kindergarten and I feel he was extremely prepared academically for it. They have a great curriculum and children learn everything they need to enter kindergarten. (my son was writing full sentences and reading three letter words) I also love the focus they have on music and art. I really looked forward to the end of year play where they got to showcase some dances and costumes. I would recommend this day care without any hesitation ,we loved it!”

“It is the very first preschool our kid ever attended. Ms. Kim, Ms. Phu Pham, and Ms. Zoie helped our kid a lot during the transition period at the beginning. They are sympathetic, patient, attentive, helpful, and instructional. Our kid ate slowly: they helped; our kid needs to avoid sunshine these months per the pediatrician: they helped; our kid were learning singing, coloring, and Tuff Tumbler (awesome gym course provided by a vendor): they encouraged.Teachers love talking with parents during drop-off/pick-up time, providing timely feedback on how its preschoolers are doing every day (e.g., their friends, activities, improvements, and areas to improve). Yes, you get daily feedback if you talk to them.All in all, our kid loves teachers and other kids there: this is quite self-telling. Thanks and hats off to Ms. Kim, Ms. Phu Pham, and Ms. Zoie!”

“Highly recommend for infant daycare, my son started at 5 months old and was loved on every day by many wonderful caregivers. He's moved up to the toddler room now, and it's been so fun to see him thrive there. They provide daily photos and a summary activity report via a app. It's so nice to be at work and receive a photo notification, a quick little note that he is taking a nap, doing art, or playing with peers.”

“Our daughter began her journey at KinderCare in Mountain View when she was 3 years old. She had an excellent experience for two years until she transitioned to her new kindergarten. The teachers were very patient and caring. She also participated in additional classes such as cooking, STEM, Spanish, and phonics. We also appreciated that this school was open most of the year, unlike many other preschools.The director, Ms. Brie, and the management were always very helpful and supportive, leading this preschool exceptionally well. The kids had a lot of fun there, with many activities, especially during the summer. They had great plans and activities for every day. She had an amazing time!”

“Our family is blessed to have been part of the LACP community for 6+ years. Both of our boys attended for multiple years. LACP stood out from other local preschools because their teachers and staff accepted us as family into their community and genuinely cared for our children. Special annual events like the Fun Run, Stone Soup Potluck, and Christmas Performance have become a tradition. Our family will be forever thankful for LACP.”

“After extensive research, we decided to choose MVLA Montessori. It was our best decision! Our daughter loves it! This is our first preschool, and we are very grateful to be a part of this amazing school!”

“I really don't want to jinx my good luck but this school is a gem so far. Just back from parent night and the teacher said all they were focussing on for sel was to teach kids to respect each other and each other's differences. I love that. None of this nonsense be kind bs that other schools tout but don't understand. Basic manners and respect. That's all our kids really need to learn to interact well. As far as academics I know many claim it's not that academic. But frankly I don't agree. It's a very good school with excellent balanced levels. Some kids are writing full paragraphs with advanced vocab in my sons second grade class. My son is not. Pretty much writing like chicken scratch now. But the teachers are so encouraging and thoughtful without pandering to every whim of the child or parent. They know what they are doing to put it bluntly. They are very professional and have a solid plan for your kid to progress quickly. My son is very happy and u can see it on his class photos. He understands responsibility which is mandarin public school never taught him. He is making nice friends because kids are respectful to each other. And he is excited about learning mandarin again. I'm a real pill when it comes to schools. I'm picky and I've had tremendous bad luck. But this one- all I wanted to tell the teachers at the end of parent night was "I am so grateful for everything you have done for my son." Only thing they need- is a middle school!”

“My child has been going to Windsor for the past two years and has thrived in the caring and enriching environment. We feel incredibly lucky to have our child go to school here and as a parent I am confident that this is one of the best choices we've made. The directors and staff think deeply about social emotional learning and providing enriching educational experiences all throughout the year. The Windsor field trips (included in tuition) are a highlight and enable the kids to connect with and explore the community around them. Kids come back with huge smiles and non-stop talking about the cool things they've seen and learned. Examples of this year's trips include: art museums, a behind the scenes tour of Costco, a Mountain View fire truck visit (where they got to spray a real firehose), and watching the Nutcracker (and meeting the performers). We also value the deep care the staff and teachers have for the students. Teachers at Windsor are highly experienced and work as a team to understand and support every child. We've seen firsthand how the staff comes together to identify unique challenges each kid faces (i.e. separation, eating, social interaction, etc.) and then finds and implements strategies to help. The Windsor team supported us and listened to us every step of the way and has helped us grow as parents too! Windsor's program is very thoughtful of busy parents - care is full day and includes healthy snacks and lunches which are cooked onsite daily by staff. The staff is attentive and responsive. Every day there are many photos and videos of kids doing activities as well as notes from the teacher that can serve as a great springboard for conversations with your child. The Windsor community is also fantastic. Parents are friendly and involved. Throughout the year, parents and grandparents volunteer to teach subjects - we've seen wonderful presentations ranging from pasta and dumpling making, to onion DNA staining and cells. We also deeply appreciated the effort Windsor spends to prepare families for Kindergarten. We repeatedly heard from alumni that their kids were better prepared for Kindergarten (esp. socially and emotionally) than other kids because of their time at Windsor. Furthermore, if you're not sure which school your kid will go to, Windsor provides many resources for navigating the school selection and application process. They are truly invested in the future of each of their students.Windsor took care of our little one so well, and we (as a whole family) loved the experience!”

“A great private high school in the heart of Silicon Valley. That they have high standards for all students shouldn't be interpreted as "racism" by some on this post. Good academics- sports-social life and religious development are the keys to a well rounded graduate. Those who think their going to change a proven educational plan need to rethink their own narcissism. Recommended my too students to St Francis over the years and have been thanked for that to this day.”

“I've had mixed experience in the past with childcare - and was feeling very anxious about sending my youngest to the wonder years. This place is my unicorn. It's a really lovely facility and the team are always planning fun events for the kids including a race day where they ran a mini marathon around the playground for charity, an Easter rabbit and a day where they painted a mural on an outside wall. What makes this facility unique is the support provided to the parents. My sons teacher would come out at pick up and provide us with an overview of his day. This made a huge difference to us and I really appreciated the level of parent-teacher dialogue. We've moved to the east coast now and his teacher still checks in. I love this facility, I found everyone to be kind and thoughtful and working really hard to provide the kids with a positive and nurturing environment during the ongoing pandemic”

“Ok. Listen up. This school is ok, just not the best out there. I go here, but it’s awkward when some piece of news goes out because it spreads like wildfire. 6/10 food, mostly soggy burgers. If you see this Mr. Lange, you’re the best teacher ever.”
