Jacklin Commons KinderCare 860 North Hillview Drive, Milpitas, CA 95035

"We have been with Jacklin Commons KinderCare for almost 4 years now. There were up and down periods and I think it is at its best right now. The current manager is very responsible and responsive. Their TK/Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Ilma, is the best teacher you can ever get. I am grateful that my older is with her and younger one will be with her soon."

"My 8 month old daughter has been going here since she was 3 months old. She LOVES it. Her teachers are very caring and nurturing, and my baby is nothing but smiles when I drop her off and pick her up! Any time we’ve had a concern the new center director Ms. Evelyn addresses them very quickly."

"Terrible, terrible, terrible experience. I can't believe an education institution is led by a completely liar, and how can it hold its moral standard. We were evaluating this place for our 2 children, and met the director Ms.J there in mid May. Our first visit was actually pretty impressive, then we requested a half day trial for both our kids. Ms.J asked us to wait till early June and will call us back, which was fine. After a number of phone calls, she sounds clearly a little impatient in the call and asked us to go to her office to discuss before 9am on 6/8. We showed up at 8:50am and didn't see her in her office, she finally came in around 10:30am, and with a number of other things to take care, which was also fine. We finally met her, and she confirmed with us that we can come for the half-day trial for both of our kids on the following Monday at 8:15am to start the trial and meet her to finish the paper work. We arrived on time the following Monday with both girls, and as she suggested on Friday we sent the girls into their classes first and then tried to find Ms.J. Not surprisingly she was not there. We had to ask around and finally found her assistant. The assistant was extremely impatient and very rude. She first told us we can't have both trials, and they can only accommodate the younger one in the morning for half day, and one minute later just in front of us, she said we should only send the younger one after 1pm in the afternoon, and two minutes later, she said again we should come back on the next day, all kindly of BS. And she refused to let us talk to Ms.J on her cell phone, saying Ms.J is in an important meeting and will arrive around 10am, and 1 minute later she said Ms.J will not arrive at 10am, may be 1pm, I started seeing the "Trump Style" in preschool. And a minute later she wanted us to leave right way. We decided to stay to wait for Ms.J. While we were waiting, we watched our younger one in her class for 1 hour. She was left along and crying all the time. The teacher put the backpack on her, pushed her aside and didn't take care of her are all. When she tried to lead the kids to the outside play ground, she dragged my 2-year old daughter's shirt all the way to outside. My daughter tried to speak to her in the playground, and asked to go pee repeatedly, she completely ignored the request and we had to take her to the bathroom by ourselves. The teacher actually didn't know our dispute at all, and looks like this was her common practice. Finally, Ms.J showed up around 10pm, she said she was at doctors and had to come to handle this with us. (She looked absolutely fine.) She didn't acknowledge her promise three days ago, kept saying the trial was a courtesy. And then she said there was a boy with broken leg coming back today without notice, so she didn't have a space for the trial for our older one. All kind of BS. Another "Trump Style" time. We decided not to waste more time on a completely untrustworthy person, and a place led by such a untrustworthy person. We took our kids and ran."

"My daughter is in the Discovery Preschool (2-year-olds) and it's a wonderful curriculum in a friendly, supportive environment. My daughter was very sad that I was leaving her there after 2 years at home, but from the beginning she would come home and tell us about all the things she got to do and see in the class. Once she got used to it, she loved her teachers, especially Miss Vanessa, and quickly was potty-trained by Miss Margarita. She also learned how to play well with other kids. I really like how the kids are taught examples of how to resolve conflicts themselves rather than rely on an adult to resolve things through discipline (for example learning to take turns, deciding to play with toys that there are more of so everyone can play, etc.) Recently my daughter started complimenting people. On top of social skills, her vocabulary is expanding quickly and the preschool teacher, Miss Laura, is working with her to improve her drawing skills in preparation for writing letters. I would definitely recommend this daycare!"

"I have all 3 of my Kids at this center. I totally LOOOVVVEEE this daycare! I was nervous at first because on my children is only 3 months and he is very needy, but he is very much in love w/ the teachers! My 2 yr old has a great time and she talks about the friends and teachers every night when she gets home. As a parent that is very watchful of whom I allow to care for my children, I totally trust this center and the staff. They are very attentive to My needs and my children. Thank God! :)"
