    I feel grateful to send my son to Safari Kid. He started toddler program here and has grown so much since then (now 3 yr old)! So many things to say that the list can go on and on.

    I feel grateful to send my son to Safari Kid. He started toddler program here and has grown so much since then (now 3 yr old)! So many things to say that the list can go on and on.

    1. School environment is exceptional. Very colorful, bright, and playful environment, which attracts children’s attention. Thus, make kids want to be at the school.
    2. Caring and patient staff. They made sure my son is at ease and calms down when he was new. They patiently talked and hug the kids.
    3. Potty training is a huge plus. They were able to train my son and now he is so independent! Even knows how to use “the big toilets” (adult size) all by himself.
    4. Food exploration. I love their “kitchen lab”, which introduces different types of food and encourages picky eaters (my son) to try new food! Kids also get hands-on experiences with making the food. By now, my son eats SO well at school but I wish he eats just as well at home.
    5. STEM. Kids are able to have many hands-on sensory experiments and are able to understand the world around them. A great way for these kids to explore their world.
    6. Academic. Learn all alphabet, math, some Spanish, science, animals, climate, and even public speaking.
    7. Music and dance. My son came home and said he wants to listen to “Waka Waka” from Shakira (LOL). This shows you that the kids are having fun in school.
    8. The school takes pictures everyday and post on parents portal and parent are able to see their children’s daily activities.
    9. Most important. When you have concerns, the director (Shelly) partner up with parents and make things work!
    10. One happy and independent kid now!

    We've actually sent our daughter to other daycare/schools before, but I have to say that Safari Kids is by far the best!

    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!

    There are so many choices for daycare services in the San Mateo area, but both me and my daughter LOVE Safari Kid.

    There are so many choices for daycare services in the San Mateo area, but both me and my daughter LOVE Safari Kid. The teachers take a genuine interest in her learning, participation, comfort and growth and they have a great modern safe facility to play in. As a parent, I never worry about safety, cleanliness, or the attention to detail at Safari Kid. Ms. Susanna, Ms. Lupita, and Ms. Shelly make it easy for me to trust their care and are always on top of it!

    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.

    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.

    We absolutely love Safari Kid! The teachers do a great job communicating how the kids days have been, and are always kind and friendly. I love the curriculum and my son always comes home talking about different things. Most recently his obsession has been about camels and cactuses. I love that he can learn these facts in an education based environment. The location is alway clean, and the communication is great. The teachers send photos every day including little notes about what the kids have been up to. I have seen a significant improvement in my son's behavior and demeanor since we have been enrolled here. My son comes home every day talking about what Ms.Lupita has said and taught him. We look forward to continuing to learn and grow here!

    Since this summer, my son has been attending Safari Kid, and we are happy with the school. The transformation in our son has been remarkable-From day one he is no longer waiting to return home; now, he is reluctant to leave school at all.

    Since this summer, my son has been attending Safari Kid, and we are happy with the school. The transformation in our son has been remarkable-From day one he is no longer waiting to return home; now, he is reluctant to leave school at all. Even sick days and vacation have turned into moments of longing for school. the influence of Safari kid has been truly extraordinary. From the time he joined SafariKid, he has become an eager listener, more open to embracing new experiences, and his sleep patterns have improved noticeably. The weekly themed approach is a brilliant touch, ensuring the students remain curious and engaged. Its fascinating to see him develop an interest in a wide array of subjects, and we've even started getting related books from the library to read at home. We really appreciate the dedicated teachers, especially Ms. Manisha and Ms. Shelly. Their Constant updates and Photos has given us window into his world at school. The Lunchtime Jokes and the stores read by Ms.Manisha before nap time have become cherished moments for him. The concept of field trips- be it to the movies or the park for the lunch- has added an extra layer of excitement to his days. We are grateful for the positive impact Safari Kid has had on our sons life. It's truly heartening to witness his growth and enthusiasm in such a nurturing environment.
