Preschool in Milpitas: Early Childhood Education Programs
Comprehensive Preschool, After School, & Summer Camp Programs
Safari Kid Milpitas nurtures young minds, bodies, and hearts through engaging early childhood education programs for children in Milpitas. Our preschool, after-school, and summer camp programs create a well-rounded learning experience that promotes exploration, play, and a love of learning in a safe and stimulating environment.
We nurture children’s curiosity, strengthen their communication skills, and encourage them to become active learners. Our approach supports growth, builds self-esteem, and inspires a lasting passion for discovery.
Our programs cater to different learning styles and preferences, ensuring we address every child's needs. By combining structured educational activities with open-ended exploration, we make space for children to flourish. Through hands-on science, creative arts, and interactive storytelling, we keep children engaged and motivated as they learn.
Families in Milpitas benefit from our convenient location, making drop-off and pick-up easy for busy schedules. Our classrooms and outdoor spaces promote year-round learning with indoor discovery and outdoor play. With a low teacher-to-child ratio, each student receives individual attention and ongoing support.
Our Admissions & Enrollment Process
Choosing the right preschool requires clear steps and guidance. We support families throughout the admissions and enrollment process. Parents can tour our facility, meet caring educators, and learn about our core approach. We help gather documentation as required by California regulations, including proof of age and immunization records. Families discuss scheduling and program options with our team to ensure they find the best fit. Due to high interest in our preschool program, we recommend early inquiries for optimal availability. After enrollment, families receive an orientation, learn how to stay connected using tools like Procare, and can attend parent-teacher conferences. Open communication helps us build strong partnerships that give children a confident start.

Gain Insights With Our Whole Child Approach
We focus on five key domains: physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and language development, along with health and care. Our programs provide your child with a complete education. We design each program to address your child’s overall development.
Our approach helps children develop emotional intelligence, confidence, and social skills rooted in empathy and respect for others. As children express their ideas and feelings, they grow more confident participating in group activities and forming meaningful relationships. We create opportunities for collaboration and independent learning throughout every age group, so children benefit from guided and self-directed experiences.
We incorporate daily physical activities to strengthen motor skills and support fitness. Cognitive games and puzzles promote intellectual growth. Group activities teach empathy, communication, and cooperation, preparing children for social life both now and after preschool.
Discover Our Research-Based Preschool Program
Our preschool programs follow research-based practices for how children learn best. Our curriculum balances academic, social, and emotional development to prepare your child for future success. We draw inspiration from Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf education philosophies.
Safari Kid educators regularly update classroom activities to reflect new best practices and educational insights. By blending internationally recognized teaching methods with Milpitas’ diverse perspectives, our curriculum builds adaptability and cultural awareness. Children participate in real-world problem solving, creative arts, and science projects, building skills for lifelong success in Silicon Valley and beyond.
Our curriculum encourages self-directed activity and hands-on learning. Children explore their environment and express themselves creatively, reinforcing independence and critical thinking. By integrating these philosophies, we prepare children for the next step in their academic journeys and help them become well-rounded, confident individuals.

Education
Master of Commerce from India
Master Teacher – Early childhood education
Behavior Specialist
PhD- Early childhood Education (Pursuing)
I love the childcare industry because
I believe in nurturing. I am passionate about crying, smiling, diapering, crawling, running, singing, jumping, and all aspects of the growth and development of the child. Also, I understand that early childhood educators can positively impact the child’s growth.
I was one of the first teachers at Safari Kid. I have been in Safari Kid for the past 17 years. I am a teacher at heart and love the opportunity to nurture future leaders to help effect positive social change in the world. I currently manage the Safari Kid centers in Milpitas, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino in Bay Area filling my cup to the brim and my heart because it’s the job I love to do the most. I also manage the Safari Kid in Allen, Texas.
My specialties include child-centered learning, service learning, standards-based assessment, curriculum writing, and training.
In a “previous life,” I was a state-level chess player and athlete, winning many awards and recognition. I have completed Master’s in Commerce and have several units related to child care and Montessori education and currently pursuing my PhD in early childhood education.
I discovered my passion for teaching in high school, where I taught underprivileged children. My love for teaching brought me to Safari Kid, and I am honored to see it grow and establish itself throughout the world, helping and caring for children. I consider Safari Kid an opportunity to pursue my dream of bringing world-class education and care for children worldwide.
