Schools in South San Francisco, CA

“TLDR: A highly recommended Mandarin Immersion Pre-school. Fairly priced. Caring teachers.Today was our sons last day at Genius Learning and our son loved every minute of his time at Genius Learning.My family's experience with Genius Learning has been nothing short of exceptional. Over the course of two years, our son thrived in this nurturing environment. After touring 20 schools, we chose Genius Learning primarily because of the outstanding Head Teacher, Heidi, who guided us through the curriculum with great care.What sets this school apart is its reasonable pricing, full day (8am - 6pm), freshly cooked lunch and snacks are provided, and a limited number of school holidays. We were delighted that our son not only had the opportunity to really improve his fluency in Mandarin but also benefited from a strong academic program.Our son's happiness, educational growth, and the friendships he developed at Genius Learning were truly remarkable. The fact that we willingly drove from San Francisco every day speaks volumes about our confidence in the school. A heartfelt thank you to all the dedicated teachers who made our son's experience so wonderful.”

“Little Hugs Preschool is a home away from home. Here are just a few highlights that make it so great:-The staff are more than awesome and treat the kids like their own-They are attentive and communicate well with both parents and kids-They are quick to take precautions -They have annual events, special guests, and fun festive days -They take tons of pictures (I still look back at them)-The facility is clean and organized -The kids learn while playing and have a blast-They serve breakfast, lunch, and snacksThe list goes on. My son and daughter both attended and loved it. So much so that my daughter wants to intern there when she's old enough . Thank you Little Hugs fam for starting our kids off on the right foot in their learning path. Miss you all!”

“I chanced upon them too late but the month spent here was great! The place is very well organized and they always have a theme of the month and teach based on this theme. The outdoors area is great and feels safe. The teachers are lovely. Thank you so much”

“Excellent, I just enrolled my son and I am very satisfied so far. They are great. They provide updates through the App which is great. They are very responsive when you have something to discuss or ask.”

“Friends to Parents was an awesome and great place for our son. We are sad to see him leave for Kindergarten. All of the teachers were very compassionate and loving. They made a bid difference in our child's life. He really opened up socially and made lots of friends. I highly recommend Friends to Parents.”

“I was a bit concerned with some of the earlier reviews here. BUT thankfully, this is a great daycare and we have both our kids here (2, 4). ALL of the teachers that we've encountered seem so friendly and you can tell they truly love kids, love what they do, and are so caring.The infant teacher that takes care of my son truly loves him SO much, and as for my 4 year old, the teachers are always on top of how she is, what she's doing, what she likes/dislikes, what she needs work on.The facilities COULD use some updates, but honestly, staff & kids are what's most important, kids don't care that much about amenities. I can tell my kids are really thriving here and would highly recommend to anyone!I think the only gripe was that it was a bit hard to get a hold of them for enrollment, but it's only one main office staff and I'm sure she has a lot to deal with dealing with parents, general office & building maintenance, etc. Took some persistence over email and over phone. The contact info on the site is updated so just keep trying!”
