Really great daycare. We used to have two kids there—now the oldest has moved on to kindergarten but still enjoys stopping by from time to time to say hi to his former teachers.

We have had two children attend Little Bloom and have been going there since 2017. The teachers love the children first and foremost; the art and activities are joyful, exciting, and creative; the classrooms are clean and tidy; and children are more than prepared for the start of Kindergarten. The teachers and caregivers at Little Bloom are a welcoming community.

Also forgot to mention Ms. Kyra would go around classroom to classroom to in her words "talk and relieve stress" about certain employees . The employees she would gossip to have told me everything she's said. All coworkers would say she'd go in their classroom and just gossip away , and when confronted about it Ms. Kyra got defensive & offered no apology for talking badly about me behind my back to all coworkers . To them I was the girl who cried wolf. To my doctor I am the girl who has ovary issues & it all started while working there and a coworker who claimed to be a nurse decided to "examine" me in class by pressing on the area that hurt causing me more pain. So thanks for making me feel less than and for not being professional. Out of all staff there I would say there's only 2 teachers who genuinely care. The others just loved to yell and force the kids into doing things they weren't okay with , they would put the kids in such distress it broke my heart and I hope no other child has to go through what they went through while I was still employed there.

After terrible experiences with two other daycares in the area, we are so grateful to have found Little Bloom. Between our two kids, we have now gone through every class from the baby room to the five year old butterflies class, and we can honestly say that Little Bloom is a gem. The teachers are so kind and loving to the kids, there is always laughter and music in the classrooms, and the staff somehow knows every parent's name as well. My daughter would run in to hug her teacher every day, and she was so sad that she had to leave for kindergarten. Our son has been at Little Bloom since eight months old, and it literally is a second home for him. Ms. Kyra, the director, has handled the challenge of COVID well, constantly seeking feedback from parents and making sure that the school is safe for both the teachers and students. We've been told that every teacher is vaccinated, everyone who is two years and older are masked in the classrooms, and the parents got together and donated purifiers for every classroom. It's a great community, and it provides such a solid positive environment for children. I can't recommend it enough!

We loved Little Bloom! Both of our kids attended this school since they were 5 months old. Our son went there for 5 years and our daughter for almost 3 years. We moved to a new city last October so our kids changed to different schools. Our daughter is at a new preschool and it's very different from Little Bloom. At Little Bloom, Ms. Reyhan and Ms. Kyra were so nice and welcoming! They always greeted the kids and parents and used our names each time we were there. The teachers were all very friendly and called us by name too. They have different classrooms and teachers for each age group. Each classroom has a curriculum that they follow to teach the kids. It's very organized and effective. Our kids did well there and learned so much! Another thing they do very well at Little Bloom is they keep you informed about how your kid is doing. We got daily notes about what our kids did, what they learned, who they played with, how much they ate and slept, etc. The teachers even took pictures and sent collages so we could see pictures of our kids doing activities. They also had progress reports and parent/teacher conferences 1-2 times per year. Our kids loved going to Little Bloom and still occasionally ask about the school and teachers. We wish the school would move to our new city. That would be a dream come true! We miss you Little Bloom!!

(We had a wonderful experience at Little Bloom. The first day I picked up my 4 month old, he would NOT want to smile at me. I thought he was mad I left him, but I brought him back the next day and he started smiling as soon as I walked up to the door. To my shock, he was so excited to be at Little Bloom! Each and every day he went in smiling, so excited to see his teachers and watch his friends crawl around. The teachers are wonderful, responsive, open to keeping him on my schedule, and working with me on his sleep training schedule. We adjusted feedings together, they took care of a bout of diaper rash, and always used the Baby Connect Technology to let me know how many ounces he was drinking, when he was sleeping, and how many diapers they changed. I felt well informed and happy to hand him into their arms every morning. I didn't think I would feel this way. The teachers (Ms. Kyra, Ms. Bonnie, Ms. Ana, Ms. Kanti) were so warm and loving and took such wonderful care of our little boy. I was sent wonderful pictures, and an amazing news letter each week explaining all the things they did with him. Lastly, I was prepared to have my little come home sick but 2 months in he never got sick, never got a runny nose, he remained extremely healthy, which again blew my mind. This day care does a wonderful job and anyone considering daycare should put them on the top of their list.

While we have only been part of the Little Bloom family since 2019, we were impressed by the center and staff the moment we stepped foot inside back in 2017 when our first son was born. It was one of the few places where the staff seemed genuinely happy to be at work with the kids and we as first time parents, felt comfortable leaving our son. Sadly, there wasn't an opening then so we went elsewhere until our second son was born and Little Bloom has space for both of them. Moving our eldest son from the only daycare he knew was a tough decision but we reasoned that Little Bloom provided better child to teacher ratios, more outdoor play space, a super fun museum like indoor space along with the structure and attention we wanted our boys to have. Everything we expected was fulfilled and then some especially once we got to know the teachers, directors and owner (who also has a medical background which put us at ease during COVID). Little Bloom has had to adjust to the new normal of coronavirus and they did so with flying colors by not only following state regulations but also initiating their own polices like tearing out all the carpets, modifying pickup/drop off and investing in a new tool that allows parents to communicate with teachers and see photos of their kids to name a few modifications. We've had nothing but a good experience with Little Bloom and when my three year old names his teachers as one of his best friends, I have confidence that we made the right choice to enroll him and his brother.

Our family has been lucky to call Little Bloom our second home for over 5 years. Both of my boys started in the infant room; my oldest went all the way through until Kindergarten and my youngest is only leaving at age 4 in order to attend preschool closer to home. We moved out of San Mateo when my oldest was 1, but couldn't find another daycare/preschool that even compared to the love we felt at Little Bloom, so we stayed for 4 more years driving out of our way to make sure our kids attended this wonderful school. The teachers love the children as if they were their own. I've said often to my husband that they are better at parenting my kids than I am. :) All of the teachers have the upmost patience, while at the same time guiding the children to develop respect, empathy, and independence. The teachers will help potty train your children, teach them how to put on their own jackets, and learn their ABCs. They will create a fun and energetic environment where your children will have so much fun and make so many friends. But most importantly, they will love your children. And I couldn't ask for anything more.

Little bloom is amazing with teachers that truly care about your kids! I was so lucky that they had an opening and my son was able to start when he was 2. Since starting at Little Bloom he's thrived not only academically but in his social intelligence as well. The staff there really works with you through potty training and anything else your concerned about - they really are extended family since both me and my husband work full-time. Ms. kyra the director is extremely organized and makes sure that anything you need is taken care of. I couldn't recommend Little Bloom enough for any parents looking for a preschool. They have a music/play based approach but with a curriculum. We are so sad to be leaving since we're moving to the East Bay, otherwise we would stay there until our son started Kindergarten!

We are so grateful for Little Bloom. It is a wonderful school with amazing and caring teachers. We have seen a lot of daycares/preschools and we do not believe that we can find a more flexible and accommodation daycare/preschool out there. They let my husband stay with our son for several days as our son transitioned to Little Bloom! Most daycares/preschools will say no to that request. The director is efficient and communicative. We get weekly updates from the school on how our child is doing. The teachers are warm and caring. They provide individualized support for each child, and especially for a child that is transitioning to daycare/preschool for the first time. The teachers even helped potty-train my child. Thank you, thank you! We are forever grateful for this gem of a school.
