Safari Kid - San Mateo,

"My son has been with Safari kids for 2 years. I am very happy with the quality care and education he is receiving! My son attended a preschool for 6 month before he joined here and we all find Safari Kids a much better place for him. The teachers are so caring, loving and responsible. My son really like his teachers. The daily activities keep a great balance between learning and playing (both indoor and outdoor). The curriculum covers a lot including English, math, science (and experiments!), social emotional, music and art. The teachers definitely now how to teach young kids as my son has learned a ton. Ms. Shelly does a great job creating a caring and responsible culture. She is also great communicating with parents about children's development and school events. We find Safari kids a very cohesive community! I highly recommend!"

"We've actually sent our daughter to other daycare/schools before, but I have to say that Safari Kids is by far the best! There are several reasons for my high praise: Firstly, their curriculum is exceptional and they constantly update and improve it. Although I don't know their specific teaching method, it is undeniably effective as my daughter quickly picks up new words at school. Secondly, the teachers are incredibly responsible. Whenever my daughter faces any difficulties, they promptly react and find solutions. I have complete trust in them. Thirdly, all the teachers are extremely kind and caring towards the children. Even though my kid is not yet three, she keeps telling me how much she likes her teacher! Lastly, potty training was effortlessly achieved with the help of the school. It only took us one week to successfully train her. I highly recommend Safari Kids!"

"We have two children of different ages enrolled at Safari Kids and are extremely happy with the care and education they are receiving. We especially appreciate the focus on social-emotional learning and exposure to music and multiple languages. The teachers are warm and loving and our kids love going to school there!"

"My son started going here at 18 months. He had little speech delay at that time and his Doctor suggested finding a daycare which follows some structure. Within a month after joining Safari Kid, my son had amazing changes and started counting 1 to 20. 6 months down the line he exceeded expectations, don’t have speech delay anymore and at 2 years checkup was able to speak more than 80 words. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Everyone here is top notch but we can’t thank Susana and Shelly enough for being so accommodating and helping. They spent time with my son to make sure he is catching up on his milestones. And he absolutely loves going here."

"My son started at Safari kid when he was 18 months, he is 3 years old now. The teachers and staff are so loving and caring. I am nothing but grateful for the patience and quality care they have provided within this time. Mondays they have music class which my son absolutely loves he comes home so excited to tell me about all the songs he’s learned. He’s even taught me some Spanish. My son used to be very codependent and would struggle initiating things on his own. His teachers worked hard to help him be more comfortable and confident which really helped him be more independent, I could not express my gratitude enough with how amazing they have been with my son. The school uses procare to connect and update on daily activities and are consistent with posting pictures throughout the day."
