Best Bilingual Nurseries In Boston Near Me

Lidice T: We recently moved to the area and found Casa Esme to be the best option for our two year old. The director, assistant and teachers are welcoming and treat our son with so much love and affection he feels at home. I would definitely recommend this nursery school to anyone looking for the best care for their little ones. I have had good experiences with different care facilities in the past but none compare to Casa Esme. Truly a wonderful nursery school!

Tom Irving: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability

Matt Mauro: Positive:Quality,ValueWe've been really happy with Casa Esme. We switched from Kinder Care, and I cannot say enough about how much better Casa Esme is. Kind, dedicated teachers. Great environment. Oh, and the price is good, too.

Erin Freeburger: The women who work there are so sweet - my son smiles and reaches for them in the morning and pouts when he has to leave in the afternoon! We have been confidently leaving our son in their care for over a year now, and he is quite happy to be there - which is the best review of all!Casa Esme's is well-run, professional, and a clean and safe facility, indoors and out. All the teachers are Spanish speakers and plenty of outdoor play. Great for the body and the mind!

Dean Dimizas: Spruce Street has been an amazing place for our two kids. Christie and her fabulous team have created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that fosters a love for learning. Can’t recommend it strongly enough.

Zoe Keller: We love Spruce Street! The loving teachers, close parent community, and true commitment to each child are what stand out for our family. We could tell from the moment we first visited that this was the right school for our daughter and we have only continued to be impressed since she enrolled. The teachers are smart, creative, and care deeply about their students. They are constantly doing fun new activities and helping the kids to learn and grow. Our goal for nursery school was to put our daughter in a loving environment where she would flourish and truly learn to love school. Spruce has been exactly that!

Sarah Dussault: We have absolutely loved our experience at Spruce Street. From the minute our son stepped into the school, he felt comfortable and did not want to leave. The teachers are all fabulous and they make a huge effort to get the kids to know them at the very start of school. Spruce first stood out to us because they have a longer day than most preschools which we wanted. We take advantage of the flexible extended day program which allows your kid to stay until 3:30 pm. We also really love how much it feels like a community. They do a great job building one among all the parents! It really is a loving family and my son loves it.

Josh Barlow: Spruce has been an excellent learning environment for our daughter. The staff is incredibly caring and thoughtful. I never thought we would feel so comfortable leaving our child in the care of others, but we do. Our daughter has loved every day and it’s our first choice for her younger sibling.

Pat Malloy: We have had one child graduate from Spruce and currently have one in their second year there. The School is extremely well run, it’s a great community, and the teachers are the best around. The overall Spruce experience has been an A+.

Jenna Petrucci: A magical school that we have had the pleasure of being a part of for three years. The environment is just so warm and loving and we could not have been luckier to find such a truly special place.

Whitney Dayton Brunet: I can't imagine a more nurturing, magical, supportive school for my children. The teachers are incredible with the students and the parents. It's a special spot, and we feel lucky to be a part of the Spruce Street community.

Brooke Cochran: A little slice of heaven right here on earth. Small class sizes lead to intimate group settings where young children get the care and nurture required to come into their own being and build their confidence. Experienced teachers with energy and happiness brings about such a smile inducing atmosphere. A true GEM of a school

Susanne Darren: We could not ask for a better place for our young ones to learn, play and meet friends. The teachers are top notch, exciting and always exceed expectations.

Anita Shukla: We couldn’t be happier with our three year experience at this nursery school. It is truly a magical place with the most loving and caring teachers. It also has the highest student to teacher ratio you can find in this area. We can’t wait to continue on at this school with our second child.

Christina Pierce: My daughter has attended Spruce for 2 years and we couldn't be happier. Her experiances as well as the warm friendships and bonds we have made with administrators, teachers, and parents alike has been more then we could have hoped for in her first school experience. Thank you for producing a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for my daughter to grow and look forward to having my newborn attend when he is old enough!

Ellie Malloy: Spruce Street Nursery is a wonderful school for kids ages 2-5. It is a very warm, friendly and nurturing environment with the best teachers around. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Jennifer Klahn: Today is my daughter's last day at the wonderful Boston Rainbow Bridge Learning Center (she is heading off to kindergarten) and I want to let inquiring parents know about our positive experience. Our daughter has been at BRB for three incredible years and my son also attended for several months before he started kindergarten. I highly recommend this child care center which is carefully and intelligently run by its director and owner, Ting Laoshi, who works each day to create a kind, welcoming, fun, and interesting educational environment for the children in her care.The curriculum, which parents are routinely updated on in advance for both the Chinese and English portions, is extensive and delivered in ways that include lessons, stories, song, dance, art, and more. Yesterday, my daughter told me all about the circulatory system -- with some precise details about the heart and lungs. This deep level of exploration is really standard at BRB and one of the reasons we love it so much.Ting Laoshi also really takes the time to understand each child and to guide, with the help of her individual classroom teachers, his or her development. I witnessed this level of care in so many ways during our time at BRB.When my son (now in second grade) was really young, he attended a few Chinese immersion daycares as we moved to different neighborhoods around Boston. One daycare downtown had an owner/director who only came in the school a couple of times per week and showed too little real care or investment in the kids. We are so happy to have found BRB for Ting Laoshi genuinely works to help your children soar and infuses such care and attention throughout this child care center.As parents with no Chinese heritage or Mandarin-speaking abilities we were warmly welcomed by the entire BRB community. And thanks to the teachers and the immersion environment, both of my children tested as fluent when entering the Cambridge Public Schools' MLK lottery. They also speak, play and argue in Chinese every day, which we attribute to BRB.BRB fosters an all-around terrific early childhood experience and we are so glad to have found this center!

Xiao Wang: This is the best daycare in my opinion after switching three daycares for my daughter. They take good care of children from all age like their own. The program is well built with great amount of activities and solid educational platform.The center is clean, bright and designed with developmental appropriate toys and games. Bonus point is they offer bilingual education for English and Mandarin.My daughter still asks to go back all the time after we are in elementary school. I can’t speak highly enough about how much we love this daycare and appreciate the care and education we received from Boston Rainbow Bridge. I highly recommend anyone looking for quality care check them out!

Wendy Z: Definitely the best daycare and the best bilingual daycare in Boston. Both my kids go to BRB. The teachers have a lot of patience and take care my kids like they are own kids. They are looking forward to meeting friends at BRB and come home with a happy face. I recommend BRB to all my friends.

Chengcheng Zhang: I strongly recommend BRB to every family with little kids in Boston. My daughter has been here for almost 2 years (2.5 – 4) and she loves BRB as her family. It is a safe and nurturing place.The classrooms are big, clean and neat. Teachers in BRB put lots of efforts in cleaning up everyday. My kid learned social distance, wearing mask and washing hands often as their concept. She has spent the pandemic year safely and happily here. We like BRB’s classroom. It has many large windows, which provide sufficient light. There is a playground nearby. Kids all enjoy walking with the teacher to the playground when the weather allowed. BRB also has a GYM room and a large balcony. The kids were able to have some excise during the pandemic.BRB is an early age learning center, which is different from many other daycares. The director of BRB, Ting Yi has been devoted herself to early education years and years. My daughter has Chinese class in the morning and English class in the afternoon. Teachers are patient and nice. My daughter always misses her teacher in the weekend. They teach the kids by topics. They have full of activities during a day, such as painting, crafting, reading and gaming. They also have musicians to teach music. You will be amazed by your kids especially over 3 years old, when they hand to you a lovely drawing at the time of pick-up, when they sing a song or dance to you, even tell you something about planet or how to grow a plant. They celebrate every holidays and every little kid’s birthday. BRB is not just a daycare, it is another family for the kids.I feel relieved to send my daughter to BRB. She made many friends here. Every time we pick her up, she just does not want to go home but plays with her friends at the front area of the building. Now she is going to attend to the public school. We will all miss BRB family and come back visit as often as we can.

Ellen L: Our son has been attending BRB for almost two years. This is the 3rd daycare my son has been in and, needless to say, it is the Best! The director, Ms. Ting, is a very experienced educator and has great passion for early childhood education. She is very patient, loving, and caring to each and every child in her care. My son absolutely LOVES her and is very attached to her.The teachers at BRB are very dedicated to their work. The classes are designed to keep young children engaged and interested in new things, and to develop their natural learning ability. We are very impressed with how much my son has learned at BRB in both English and Chinese.It is worth mentioning that BRB also has very good facilities. All classrooms are spacious and bright with many windows. Having lots of space has been extremely important during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ms. Ting and her teachers are working tirelessly to keep children healthy and safe during this challenging time. We really appreciate all their efforts.We highly recommend BRB!

Sofia Zhang: As an educator and parent to a former student at BRB I cannot speak more highly of the experience that my daughter had there. She started going to BRB after turning one and I really saw her language, social, and cognitive skills taking off. She always loved going to school and often talks about the teachers and friends there, with the limited vocabulary she had (super cute)! Ting laoshi is always responsive and professional and my daughter became super attached to her. Now that we have moved away from Boston we truly see how BRB is in comparison with other daycares. We have yet to find a center that is as professionally run, lovingly cared for, and at such a reasonable price. My daughter still does the finger exercises and sings the songs that were taught to her at BRB and even still asks for the teachers and friends back at BRB. Highly recommend!

Yue Wang: Positive:Professionalism,ReliabilityMy son has been here for more than a year and he can't wait to go to school every morning as he really enjoy being there. The teachers are professional and they care about every child in the class. BRB is bilingual and my son learned a lot and made many friends there.

Ai LeeN FuNg: My daughter attended BRB for 1 year. We had to leave Boston to return to Asia after my husband's studies and leaving BRB behind was one of the hardest and saddest part. The school does not feel like a school but one big happy family. My daughter went in not knowing how to speak a word of Chinese, and left speaking even better Chinese than some of the peers her age back in Asia. I love how much effort is put in in updating the parents about the children's daily activities through daily reports and photos, and Ting Yi, the school's owner, even considers our other non school age attending baby as part of the BRB family just because his sister attends BRB, not forgetting him during Christmas gifting and other school parties. It is really just one big loving family. Ting lao shi makes an effort to connect with every parent, and when time allows, gives personal updates to us about our daughter's day in school.I really appreciate how personable Ting Yi and her teachers are. They are also very respectful and caring towards the students. I did not realize this until I sat in my daughter's new school for 2 days in Asia, and noticed how snappy and fierce her Asian teacher was towards non complying children, expecting nothing but obedience. This made me miss BRB and its teachers very much.Send your children to BRB! They will be in good hands!

Sam Zhang: We absolutely love this daycare! it is very clean that our son barely got sick this past winter. The bilingual model is working out really well. Our son learns Chinese in the morning and English in the afternoon. He used to cry every morning when he gets dropped off in his previous daycare, but he runs to this one! Everyone here is like a family. They are learning so much everyday. You get very very detailed summary about your child every day with pictures. STRONGLY RECOMMEND.

IKELLY DYDS: bad client who didn't pay their service, they only care about the money, not your kids.

Lena Kuenkel: We could have not asked for a warmer or more loving first nursery school experience for our daughter. She is thriving at school and brings new songs and stories home every day. We can't recommend GNS enough, particularly as a first experience to little ones given the small group size and family-like environment.

Chris Straehla: Our daughter has thrived being a part of the GNS community. The teachers and staff are wonderful at fostering a kind, loving environment that fosters curiosity and relationships. A part-time preschool with 2, 3 and 5 day options has been a perfect fit for our family in the years leading up to kindergarten. I would highly recommend GNS!

Colleen Coffey: Our daughter has been enrolled at GNS for about 6 months and we could not be happier with our experience so far.  She attends the two-day program and every day she wakes up asking if it is a school day because she can't wait to go back.  The facilities are bright, fun and extremely clean.  Our daughter especially loves the outdoor time and spends a lot of time in the sandbox and mud kitchen cooking up lots of creations.For my husband and I being able to be a part of the school and her education through the cooperative program has been amazing.  We've both done one day of parent helping so far this year and it was so fun to be able to see our daughter in her school environment and helped give us a better sense of what her days at preschool look like.  Finally, the teachers are absolutely amazing.  We love that they use an emerging play curriculum and are always so impressed with the activities they come up with for the kids.

Zoe Trohatos: We are having such a wonderful experience at Garden Nursery School (GNS)! We love that GNS emphasizes social/emotional development and play! The teachers are exceptional and truly know all of the children. Our daughter is now in 2nd grade and still talks about her preschool teachers and the friends she made. GNS is the perfect first school experience, it gave our daughter the confidence and readiness to make the jump into elementary school. Our son is enrolled this year is having an amazing time! It is such a warm and welcoming environment. We highly recommend Garden Nursery school!

Angelika Makkas: GNS was an absolutely excellent school for our 2 children and a third starts next year. All of our children grew and learned leaps and bounds. But most importantly they are becoming empathetic kind people. Highly recommended.

Andrew Park: Our son was ready to start school but, of course, he had a rough start at the beginning. However, because of a great team of teachers and parent helpers, we are now fully enjoying to be part of GNS community! Best Pre-School experience ever!!

Devon B: Our 3 year old loves it. A very inclusive coop school.

Kate W: We started at GNS recently, but so far it’s been a great experience. The space is cozy, with plenty of natural light, and the teachers have been warm and friendly. Our son has fun every day he goes to school, and comes home excited to talk about what he’s done. He especially loves the daily dance parties! I also really like that GNS has a dedicated, fenced outdoor space with plenty of toys and a sandbox.We appreciate that there are a variety of attendance options- 2, 3, or 5 day, as well as early/extended care (FYI: late pickup is at 3 pm, there is no 5 pm option). This works for our family, but might not make sense if parents work during typical business hours.

Josefina Pelecanos: Our 4 year old daughter goes to Garden Nursery School five days a week and we are so happy with everything: the teachers and director are fantastic and make the school a warm, respectful and wonderful place for children to learn, play and grow. Our daughter loves to go to school every morning and we couldn't ask for more.

Sarah Moridpour: Amazing school and community! From the moment of our first visit, we knew that GNS was a unique place and we have found that to be true in every way- the director and teachers are just so warm and kind and the atmosphere is incredible.We love the parent-initiated and community-oriented structure of GNS; it has provided us with the benefits that many schools and daycare centers are lacking today: It is not only good for our daughter but for us as the parents, family, and community as a whole - we are learning together.We feel so lucky that we found GNS and the whole community.

Rachael Elliott: Our kids love going to Garden Nursery School, and we love the school's focus on play, respect, kindness, and communication. It's been an amazing year of growth for both of our kids, and especially the social and communication advances that we've seen in our son this year...we credit the teachers for their loving consistency, patience, and amazing care for each individual child in the school.Given the intimate size of the school and teacher-to-child ratio, we expected our kids would get lots of attention and guidance. (That was the case!)What surprised me was how impactful the cooperative aspect is at GNS: parents take turns helping out alongside teachers in the classroom, so we develop bonds with all of the children, in addition to the pleasure of seeing our own kids at play. Not to mention the respect I've gained for the many other parents who help keep the school running through volunteering their expertise in many fields. As a result, the sense of community at the school is vibrant and thriving.The school director and teachers are outstanding, and are clearly invested in creating a respectful environment among all of the children. Each day, our kids had opportunities to develop their social skills, language acquisition, fine and gross motor skills, etc. through creative play, problem solving, stories, dance party, and songs. When confronted with conflicts between students, the teachers help the children deal with their 'big feelings' by putting them into words and making a plan for how to move forward. They are attentive to the various and varied needs of each child in the classroom.After one year at Garden Nursery School, we can better understand what makes this place so fabulous. It was a poignant goodbye in June to the kids who are moving or entering school, and our younger one is so excited to return come September!

Amanda VanVleck: We had the privilege of spending 3 phenomenal years as part of the Garden Nursery family. The amazing teachers and director have created a safe and nurturing environment where each individual child is gifted the space and time and rich experiences to allow for extraordinary growth - both social/emotional and academic. My son lost both of his grandparents during his time at Garden Nursery and their long illnesses consumed our home life, but GNS offered him consistency, predictability and the warmest home away from home during these difficult years. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a "just right" school experience en route to Kindergarten - there are 2-day, 3-day and 5-day programs. (Our son is thriving in Kindergarten now and I owe his confidence and willingness to take risks and his inclusive instincts to his amazing experience at Garden Nursery School.)

Katie Brillantes: We LOVE Garden Nursery School! My first 2 kids went to another pre-school as GNS was oversubscribed and we didn't win the lottery. My third finally got in and we couldn't be happier. It is a truly unique place where children and families form a community and share in the joy of each child's growth. The curriculum is child-lead and really evolves based on the interests of the group. My son's class decided to do all things train related for awhile and now they are running a restaurant (making menus, drawing play money, etc..). Since the ideas come from the kids, they are very engaged and take ownership over their projects. Another focus of GNS is to help children build their social / emotional skills. My son receives individual attention from the teachers everyday and they have really taken the time to get to know him. He had a hard time with separation at the beginning and the teachers helped him feel safe and comfortable in the most kind and nurturing way. Now he loves to go to school and happily waves from the "goodbye window" everyday. So grateful for such a wonderful start to school for my son. Couldn't recommend GNS more.

Merrill B. Lamont III: we're coming back next year! "PLAY is the 'work' of being a child" - that quote plus the focus on emotional-social development is what brought us - you can tell the staff are made for what they do - my 3yo daughter is having fun - it's actually a community for parents, too

Meg Vadakekalam: We can't say enough about how much we love GNS! It has been such a warm, supportive, empowering environment for our shy daughter. Since she started in the fall, we have watched her grow more confident every week and she is always so excited to go to school and play with her friends. The teachers and director are amazing and so dedicated, and the cooperative structure allows us to be an active part of the school community, which is so great for our daughter as well as ourselves. We highly recommend this wonderful school!

Jeff Rawson: GNS is truly a top-notch place! Our two kids are excited to go every morning, and come home with stories of unique activities from each day. The kids are so enthusiastic for their nursery school that they proudly wear their GNS t-shirts around town. The teachers work diligently, far above the minimum, to plan enriching activities for the kids, and they clearly implement the science of early childhood development into their practices. GNS is far more than a daycare, and will foster your child's emotional, intellectual, and social development. We've also enjoyed the expectation of parental participation; it's given us a chance to be involved with our kids at the school, to spend more time in the space and with the teachers, and bonded us with a community of other local parents.

Deidre Deegan: An incredible school with the best teachers and community spirit. Our daughter attended for two years, and is now in Kindergarten. She's more than well prepared and so confident and socially/emotionally more than ready, in no small part thanks to GNS. We really miss the school and teachers! The philosophy is to focus on social emotional as the foundation, with everything else branching and building from there. Science, math and early literacy are baked into the activities, though all our daughter knew was cozy, fun, friends. The parents are really involved, a wonderful built in community and nest type experience for the start of school -/ this is what preschool should be!

Daniel Wendel: I cannot imagine a more perfect first introduction to "school" than Garden Nursery School. My son found a second home at GNS where he was loved, understood, and valued for who he is. And that was true of each of his friends here, too. My son is now in a kindergarten program he loves at a Montessori school in Cambridge, so it's been 8 months since we left GNS, but when we went back to visit for "Alumni Day" last weekend, he absolutely glowed with joy. All of the friends who returned for a visit picked up right where they had left off, and, due to the community that developed from the co-op structure and "parent helping", the parents were really excited to catch up too!It is hard to identify exactly what it is that makes GNS so special, because it is a combination of so many things working together. But here are a few things that stand out:- Parent helping means that I got to know (and really care for!) the other kids in the class, beyond the caricatures that come from first impressions. In other schools I would have noticed the rambunctious kid at drop-off who was making my son feel a little intimidated. But at GNS, I helped to comfort that boy when he was crying because of how much he missed his daddy, and I learned that his heart was even bigger than his energy as he made the extra effort to invite my son into his games and activities. Perhaps it was the good influence of the teachers, or just that all the kids were all abnormally awesome, but I came to know and care for all of the children, and I know the other parents similarly care for my son.- The teachers treat the children with constant love, respect, and delight. I learned a tremendous amount about parenting by watching them! Everything from acknowledging and accepting "big feelings" to sharing in the awe of what a butterfly wing looks like under a magnifying glass let the children know that they were known, valued, and safe.- The play-based curriculum ("play is kids' work!") is wonderful. One thing my wife and I noticed when visiting other preschools was that in most places, our arrival caused some disturbance in the class, and typically several children would come talk to us or want to play with us, often competing for our attention. But when we visited GNS, we were struck with how unimportant our visit seemed! We certainly felt a warmth and happiness in the air, but there was also a sense of security and purpose that was lacking in our visits elsewhere. I described it to my wife as "this picture isn't going to color itself!" and "these cars aren't going to drive themselves!". It was as if each of them felt they were contributing something to the world in their play, whereas in other schools the children were just biding their time until they got to go home again.My predominant feeling when reflecting back on our experience at GNS is one of gratitude. We really struggled with our decisions about childcare and preschool, and ultimately felt like we were just kind of guessing and hoping for the best. So I'm extremely grateful that we got to be a part of something so wonderful. I wish that every preschooler could have the experience my son had.

Ellenor Barish: We have loved our time at GNS. The staff is highly skilled, compassionate and passionate about their work with our families. They encourage each child to explore and develop their personal interests and to share their experiences with their classmates. GNS is a place where children bloom. And as Parent Helpers we get to witness and participate in the process in a unique way. Plus - it’s easy to get there via public transportation.

Mathias Neuber: GNS has been a great experience for both us and the kids. The kids love the time that they spend at the school. They love going there and talk enthusiastically about their day and the their teachers and friends. The focus of the school on learning through play and preparing them socially for kindergarten. The teachers are amazing with children this age--as parents, we have learned many tips and tricks from the teachers on raising our children. As a co-op, GNS actively involves the parents in their child's learning and development. We are asked to participate in the classroom a few times during the year which helps us understand how our children interact in environments outside of the home and family. We could not think of a better place for nursery schools.

Kemal: i love this school !

Dan Congreve: We started at Panda when our first child was 4 months, and have loved every moment with them. They have become family- not daycare/school. The directors are knowledgeable, responsive to every one of our needs, and so kind. My daughter instantly bonded with the directors and teachers. During the day she did stimulating and age appropriate activities that continuously pushed her to learn more, while having a ton of fun! She went outside often (usually twice a day when weather allowed). I would HIGHLY recommend Panda to anyone in the area who is in need of childcare.Service:Educational services

Valeryia Ziablava: Our daughter joined Panda 3 months after its opening. No one in our family speaks or understands Mandarin, but we were very intrigued by the Montessori philosophy and the opportunity to learn Mandarin that Panda Bilingual Daycare offered to our 20-month old child.The daycare gave our daughter everything we could have dreamt of: teachers’ dedication, patience, help in building confidence and independence and, most importantly, safety. Our daughter has severe food allergies; the director and teachers were very open to accommodating our daughter’s needs. The teachers were so meticulous and mindful about making sure she was not exposed to any allergens. We truly felt comfortable at all times.Finally, 3.5 years after having dropped her off at Panda for the first time, our child has become fully fluent in Mandarin (for a five-year-old). It is amazing to hear her interacting with other kids and teachers in a language that she only speaks at the daycare. As one of the Mandarin native-speaking parents told us, “When I close my eyes and listen to your daughter speak Chinese, I would never tell that she is not a native speaker.” It is perfect evidence of Panda’s educational mission. It is an amazing place for little kids to be.We wholeheartedly recommend Panda Bilingual Daycare to any family as we truly consider it a golden standard in young child education.

Vishakha Dolhare: We enrolled our then 1.2 year old daughter at Panda after touring atleast 3 different daycares in that area and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. Clearly the standards at Panda are high - be it hygiene, the rich interactions between the teachers and students , the curriculum designed to encourage individual play as well as peer learning, the involvement of the staff and the attention to parents feedback by the management. My now 4.5 year old confident, happy and creative child blossomed in this daycare and all the kind teachers will forever be a part of her memories. I would recommend Panda to all my family and friends in a heartbeat! Thank you Panda for being an important part of shaping my daughter and preparing her for the real world.

Michelle Pai Howell: Our son started at Panda as a shy 2.5 year old and has been thriving at Panda. This is a great daycare with teachers that are caring and passionate about the children. The staff are consistent and the communication clear. Also the director, Marcy, is phenomenal. She is always talking to the kids and parents and often can be see holding some of the infants.We have especially loved the small community and the small number of children at the facility. It's not overwhelming to me or my son and I think it has helped reduce sickness throughout the year. Highly recommend Panda.

Chao Q: We have a 2.5yrs daughter in Panda Bilingual Daycare since this summer. We have been very satisfied so far. The site is brand new and the facilities are very nice. The teachers care deeply about the kids and constantly communicate with us about our daughter's every little bit of progress. Sijia, the founder, is very enthusiastic about her work. She works side-by-side with the teachers and always gives timely feedback to our questions and concerns.Our daughter has been very happy in Panda. Every day she would sing on her way home and tell us stories in the Daycare. She also loves role playing as her teacher, Ms Stefanie, and teaches us what she has learned at school. We speak Mandarin Chinese at home, and now she is picking up more and more English from daycare, which we are very pleased to see.
