Best Daycares & Childcares in Bay Area

GEMS is the BEST play based preschool EVER!!! We absolutely love the environment Miss Ambrose has created at Gems academy. Our daughter started at Gems 3 years back during the start of the pandemic and we still count our blessings every single day. She has blossomed into a confident, kind, curious, creative girl who loves going to Miss Ambroses's school, is not shy to make new friends, can play and interact with a mixed age group of kids and is excited about all the learning and fun activities they do at the preschool. Miss Amrbrose is a passionate teacher who has incorporated learning in a play based way keeping them engaged and curious while learning loads of new things everyday. The kids here learn how to read, write, do basic arithmetic (add, subtract), public speaking, perform and do musical recitals every year. Miss Ambrose enthusiastically celebrates all the gems kids birthdays, holidays, festivals and the kids have lots of outdoor play and summer fun with great playground setup in their backyard. They have at least two shows in a year where the kids perform for all the parents showcasing their singing/dancing and acting skills. Because of the mixed age group setting the kids learn different social and emotional skills and get opportunity for leading with empathy and kindness with the younger ones. They get to practice some leadership skills as well. Miss Ambrose is very prompt with the updates of the kids day to day activity via brightwheel app and we also get to watc

My daughter started going to Jayanthi’s at about 15 months and was until she was about 3.5 years. Right off the bat, she loved her caretakers, her classmates and the daycare. She loved circle time - her vocabulary and knowledge of rhymes grew exponentially. She learned her alphabet, numbers, intro to animals/flowers/vegetables/fruits and all the good stuff and retained everything well. She began writing around 2.5 and continued to get sheets to write and color. I have to point out my daughter went in once the state allowed daycares to open after shelter in place since I am an essential worker. Jayanthi followed all the protocols to make sure it was a safe sanitized environment and made sure all parents and kids followed the protocols. All in all - definitely recommend.

My son has been going to Jayanthi Daycare since he turned 1.5 yrs old for almost 3 years and he graduated from Daycare few months back. Jayanthi, is outstanding, and the helpers are so loving, engaged and creative. Together, they provide a safe, nurturing environment for kids to learn and grow. Transition to daycare was very smooth and Jayanthi provided each and every detail for the day. My son loved her food and I must mention her place is extremely clean and organized.

My kid has been with Jayanthi from 8months-3 years. She is one of the best day cares. She is very good with kids. She gives healthy fresh home made food. Would highly recommend her.

My kid has been with Jayanthi day care for more than 2 years.I would highly recommend Jayanthi day care for anyone who is looking for high quality child care.Jayanthi and her helpers are very caring. The facility is very clean and organized.

Jayanthi's day care is just like a second home to the little ones. Its super clean, the care taker Jayanthi has immense patience in dealing with the little ones. Regularly sends updates and videos of the activities happening in the day care. My lil one learnt a lot and was surprised that she was already writing by 2.5 years. My lil one always looked forward to go the day care everyday.

Jayanthi provided daycare and afterschool care for my both daughters for almost 3 years. She is very good. She sends updates about kids learning to the parents. My little one learned a lot of things from her.

Committed family home more than day care. Highly professional and skilled teacher. My daughter favorite was circle time where she enjoy her every moment. On top, they train the preschoolers for Kindergarten. Helps in cognitive and social development of the kids.Set the basic necessary skills as they enter the regular school. I would strongly recommend this daycare .

Radha's day care was recommended by many co-workers and it stayed true to the words. Very clean and neat, loads of play space and toys and nutritious food. My child cries to get picked up in the evening as she loves the ambience, fellow kids and ofcourse the care of Alka who runs this day care. As FTM and first time day care, I was very worried about how my child will get used to and updates about her. Alka takes effort and informs about the progress about the child over the weekends/nights and whenever you meet. I feel my child has a better home to stay and I rely on Alka completely as she is good care taker. Highly recommend this place and visit this day care to realize how it stands to be an excellent day care.

Our son has recently started Anjana Aunty's Daycare. It's not even a week and he is doing so good there. I highly recommend this place.

We are extremely happy sending both the kids at Anjana Dave's Daycare. Both, Anjana aunty and uncle take a great care of the kids and kids are always happy. While taking the good care, aunty takes time to introduce the kids to group play and explains the concept of sharing. My elder one started when she was 10 months old and she got adjusted within less than a week. My younger one started when he was a 1 year old and still goes to aunty's place. Aunty provides fresh and healthy lunch every day which has a good balance of different fruits and veggies. Also if you run late due to the traffic, she will be all Ok. We highly recommend sending kids to Anjana Dave's daycare. Jalpa

We can't express our gratitude in words for all the care and love that Anjana aunty and Nigam uncle has provided to my son during his time at their day-care. Our son started off at about 13 months and he was home with our parents before that , so his transition was a little hard for us. However Anjana aunty was very understanding and supportive from the day-one, and before even I knew my little one was so fond of them that he would refuse to come back home. Both Anjana aunty and Nigam uncle have such calm and loving persona and they love taking care of kids. I always see her holding, and taking care of little ones. She also provides hot lunches with a very healthy, balanced diet. My little one loves broccoli :) thanks to Anjana aunty's training. My son also has bonded with all other kids at the day-care, they all play along and take care of each other which shows a great deal about the quality time they spend together at the day-care. In a nutshell this day-care had been a home away from home for our son and thats a huge relief for working parents when you know your little ones are taken good care and nurtured in the thriving environment. I highly recommend Anjana Aunty's day-care.

We are very pleased to send both our children to Anjana Dave's Daycare. We are continually amazed to see our children blossom and grow under her kind and loving care. Anjana Aunty, Nigam Uncle, and Aunty-ji are part of our family. A day without seeing them isn't the same. When my first child started at 6 months old I was amazed at how quickly she adjusted and felt comfortable. We feel a great sense of comfort sending our kids to daycare since we know that Aunty genuinely cares for them. Anjana Aunty's leadership and passion for childcare really shows in our childrens' development. Aunty guides the children on how to interact with others and how express their feelings with words from a young age. We found that building children's emotional intelligence early on in Aunty's daycare has been an incredible asset for when they moved to preschool. We highly recommend Anjana Dave and her daycare. -Vidhya B

I highly recommend Jayanthi day care. My kid is going to Jayanthi day care for the past 15 months. Jayanthi and her helpers Sushma, Chetana are very friendly and caring. My kid really enjoys going there. Daycare facility is always kept clean and is kids kids-friendly. Kids enjoy outdoor play activities as well based on the weather conditions. We get regular feedback about our kid which I feel is very important. Thanks Jayanthi.
