Schools in Redwood City, CA

“I cannot more highly recommend Sequoia Children's Center. I can only speak to the pre-K program, as we were living in the area for one year, and enrolled our son in the pre-K class for the duration of that time. The teachers - Carol and Becky - are incredible. They have built a curriculum that is engaging and encourages the kids to learn a lot, but also in a safe, nurturing, fun environment. But as far as I can tell all of the teachers and support staff there are wonderful. Our son has come out of the program very prepared for Kindergarten, but not overwhelmed. I also appreciated that there was a very practical and warm attitude there - I found in researching schools many arrogant programs that seemed like they were going to push a really strong academic emphasis on the kids. SCC is a program where the kids learn a lot and are perfectly prepared for Kindergarten, but not at the expense of pleasure, fun, and play. The families there are also terrific and it is a great place to be involved as much as you would like to be, with lots of opportunities for parent and family participation. If you are in search of childcare, in particular a pre-K program, I would definitely check out Sequoia Children's Center.”

“My 4.5-year-old son attended Safari Kid for two years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. His teachers, Ms. Leah and Ms. Megha, were truly exceptional—nurturing, patient, and incredibly skilled at supporting early childhood development. Under their guidance, my son made remarkable progress in writing and reading, showing confidence and curiosity well beyond his age. His language skills blossomed, and he developed a strong foundation in math that continues to impress us. Safari Kid provided an environment that helped him thrive both academically and socially. We’re so grateful for the love and dedication shown by his teachers and the entire staff.”

“A step above the rest. Shores Kindercare provides a beautiful environment surrounded by nature. The staff are friendly and always ready to help. They greeted my little one with a big smile each day and helped her transition into the classroom. They also have a VERY clean environment for babies, staff and parents put on booties before entering the baby room. My oldest went to a different daycare for his first few years and the entire school would get sick any time an illness popped up. My youngest has not had that same experience here. It's so clean!”

“Very welcoming conservative shul. Lovely people. Fabulous rabbis and cantor. Active membership and excellent religious school. Diverse congregation of all ages. Beautiful building. Flexible membership rates.”

“Oscar Sotelo is great! I’ve had horrible experiences at Jeep in the past but at this Jeep location in Redwood City, I had the pleasure of having Oscar Sotelo as my service advisor and he gave me his personal number to contact him anytime and was super responsive every time. Really appreciate how easy he made the experience, he’s great at what he does and is extremely kind and patient!”

“My employer offers a backup care benefit, and I was able to have my child at Bright Horizons in Redwood City for three days while traveling in the area. It was a wonderful experience. The director and teachers were so kind and attentive. When I picked my child up one day, one of the teachers told me off the top of her head the exact time my child had fallen asleep and woken up. They had the kids do so many fun activities during the day, including painting. And it might have been a quirk based on the week my child was there, but the teacher to student ratio seemed amazingly good.”
