“I have nothing but positive things to say about Daisy. It is a nice facility and not overly crowded. The preschool has a nice balance of fun/enrichment/learning activities and I've felt from the beginning that the staff has taken a special interest in addressing each child's individual needs. Our daughter looks forward to her days here. Lastly, it isn't horrendously expensive!”

“This is our third year entering MCPC. We absolutely love the community...our kids are loved by the teachers, we're able to make friends with the other parents, and one of the best perks - we are all involved in parenting the children from a similar socioemotionally grounded approach which makes playdates so fun and easy. Any parent can step in at anytime and the messages our kids receive are loving and consistent. And the Director Jolie as well as Teachers Jamie and Nick are just rockstars.I feel a lot of confidence when I'm out at the playground, I feel that I can work things out with my child and ask about his plans and intentions and come up with safety guidelines together. It's helped so that he's able to re-engage with children and meet new friends rather than just decide they're done playing. I could go on an on about what I've learned alongside my kid at MCPC. Highly suggest attending their Toddler Playtime classes that run year round in the afternoon (18-36 months) and/or the annual Info Night in January if you're interested in preschool.”

“We pulled our daughter out of a more strict and structured daycare where she was timid and quiet and switched her to Oak Grove at the recommendation of a friend whose daughter loved it here. Our daughter has totally blossomed here - she sings and dances and talks excitedly about her friends and teachers and activities. It has been so low stress and high joy to be part of Oak Grove. The affordable price and food provided are great bonuses as well.”

“We love having our son at a daycare that feels like home. The maestras welcome him every morning and make sure to update us throughout his day with the activities that they do. They are always very creative and make sure everyday him and his amigos learn but also have a fun time. Gracias AMA!”

“My kid attended this school, and recently graduated to TK. I cannot recommend Hilda, Delia, and Faila highly enough. It's a beautiful, loving home-based daycare that truly loves and cares for your children. When they get older, the kids are given the option to attend Merritt College's lab preschool program, which is an excellent bridge between Vivan Los Niños and the next grade (either TK or K). Don't think twice - trust Hilda with your kids, and you'll forever be part of the VLN family.”

“We joined PIL at 3 months and are so happy to have chosen it for our child. Miss Dara and Miss Itzel truly care for and nurture each child. We knew our child was in good hands and really grew and developed while at PIL. The school takes Covid precautions very seriously which we also appreciate. We are so thankful for PIL and sad to have to move away!”

“Both my kids attended this preschool and it is one of the best decisions our family has ever made. The Lake School is a warm and loving place filled with the most kind hearted, generous teachers. Both my children have thrived and blossomed as tiny humans under the roof of this sweet little house. It is a happy place where children get plenty of outdoor time and get to learn and explore through play to their little hearts' content. I could not dream up a better place for my kids to spend the days of their young childhood.”

“My daughter Layla attended this preschool for two years. Our experience with United Nation's was exceptional. My daughter's teachers are the biggest reasons our two years with United Nation were such an amazing experience. My daughter was in room 3. Her teacher was Mrs. Maranatha along with Ms. Jessica, Mrs. Alondra, Mrs. Ann and for the last year Mrs. Pam. My daughter learned so much from these amazing ladies. I am happy that Mrs. Maranatha was there to help build a strong foundation for my daughter's growth. My family was going trough difficult times but thankfully we had Mrs Maranatha to support us beyond imaginable measures. I as an adult learned a lot from Mrs. Maranatha, so did my daughter Layla. Mrs. Ann is such positive and encouraging teacher. Ms. Jessica was always there for every one of Layla's needs, especially emotional development. Mrs Alondra is loving and understanding. Mrs. Pham came as a new addition to the class but she contributed greatly and supported the class in every way way possible. Thank you Mrs. Maranatha. Ms. Jessica, Mrs. Ann, Mrs. Alondra and Mrs. Pham. We miss you!!!!Thank you United Nation preschool!!!”

“My sons teacher is incredible!! The school is under alot of revitalized staff and in the years to come there are alot of positive transformations I KNOW will have a good impact on my child. He is safe, respectful and responsible thanks to their motivational efforts. The culture is very blended and I love how my son can experience that dynamic. The bay area is very diverse and this school really reflects that.”

“As a parent a few weeks in, I couldn't be happier. Here's why.My son is having a great time• He is developing a lot of social confidence• He plays outside a lot (comes home dirty and tired and sleeps well during the week so I know he played hard• He constantly lets me know he's having funI'm having a great time• the teachers are so friendly and laid back when I forget something, or arrive late. I feel at ease overall. I've been email shamed at other places so maybe I'm a bit traumatized.• The window for drop-off is between 730 and 9, which makes it super easy in the morning rush• teachers are happy to answer questions during pickup /drop-off when it's not busyThose are my two most important baselines for giving this review.There are older reviews about turnover, which I was uneasy about. Christina Enerio, the new director of both OGS and Wildwood in Grand Lake, put me at ease with her kind, respectful demeanor. She comes from a much bigger program and seems to be bringing a lot of organization to this one. She also walked me through the context of some of the complaints filed officially, which put me at ease as it's easy to draw conclusions online.”
