Kids Konnect Preschool 2145 Bunker Hill Drive, San Mateo, CA 94402

"My son went to Kids Konnect for 1.5 years. We only switched schools because we moved away from the area. All of the teachers are kind and energetic. The director - Ms. Kim - is so sweet. She is very articulate, thoughtful and cares deeply for all of the children at Kids Konnect. We were always informed of any incidents at school in terms of falls of mishaps between children. This school is ideal for working parents. They provide meals and are open long hours. Highly recommend for working parents who want a school where their children are loved and watched over closely."

"My 3yo son has been at Kids Konnect for 6 months now. We moved to the Bay last year and made the decision to enroll him at Kids Konnect after the tour. I'm grateful that I made the decision because he's thriving at school and happy everyday. There are a lot of great things about the school, but what matters most to us-working couple are hours/much less closings than other schools, own kitchen to prepare meals/snacks, caring and passionate teachers, lots of activities, and big outdoor play area. I also like the small community environment that he knows every teacher and he plays with all age groups. Initially, I was a bit worried about the transition due to our re-location. But Kids Konnect did an amazing job helping with the transition and also potty training, really putting us parents at ease!"

"We enrolled our 2.5 yo daughter in Kids Konnect only 4 months ago, and it's been remarkable. She can sing a number of songs (like the ABC's) by herself now, she can tell the difference between rectangles and hexagons, she's learning how to share (difficult to explain this concept in a one-child household), and she's following her new friends in learning how to use the toilet. The staff does a good job taking care of the kids and keeping the premises safe, and they wear masks with the kids (for kids themselves, the masks are optional). There is some additional illness risk in a group childcare setting over a 1-on-1 arrangement, but we haven't seen her get sick more frequently in school than she did previously."

"Visited Kids Konnect and wanted to enroll my son for the next month. I had a good feeling with the atmosphere and the staff during my tour. The San Mateo director has been so responsive to all my questions. Great communication. I'm excited for starting preschool there soon! [Only 4 stars for now until we actually start attending.]"

"We are so happy with the program and teachers at Kids Konnect. our daughter has been attending for 6 months now. One thing that was very important to me was a program's conflict resolution style (for things like not sharing, hitting, etc), and I've observed that their method of talking it out calmly is so conducive to the children learning how to communicate through their feelings and respect one another. I also really like the wide variety of activities and themes. Our daughter is always so happy when we drop her off and pick her up, and she even asks to go to "daycare" on weekends. When you walk in, you'll notice that all of the teachers are actively engaged in small groups with the children. It's evident that the teachers are very kind and nurturing towards the kids and allow them to express themselves while teaching critical skills. When I ask our daughter if the teachers are "nice" or "mean" - she always says "nice" (which was not always the case with former caretakers). Fieon is very responsive with any questions/concerns. Also, the teachers were very supportive when our daughter was potty training (she's 2.5) and we were able to get her to 100% (no accidents even at nap) after only 2 weeks. I was very appreciative that the teachers respected the method I chose (which was no diapers/pull-ups at all) and endured the few accidents:)"
