My son has been attending Happy Raindrops Daycare since they opened (he was almost 8 months old and is now almost 2 years). We are so happy and feel lucky that he is able to attend full time with such amazing teachers! Vivian (the owner/teacher) cares deeply for each child and has an excellent understanding of child development, knowing exactly how to support growth and learning through play and exploration. In addition to providing a joyful and enriching learning environment, they provide my son with delicious, nutritious home-cooked food every day! My son loves the weekly music class. It's a great way for him to explore rhythm, songs, and instruments, while building his communication and motor skills. He also gets plenty of outdoor time in the backyard or on walks around the neighborhood, which he really enjoys. These activities support his physical and cognitive development in a meaningful way. It's been wonderful seeing how the mix of younger children, with some joining recently, has enhanced his learning experience. He's been thriving in an environment where he can interact with peers his own age and engage in shared learning moments. We've also enjoyed some fantastic local field trips, including a visit to the zoo and, most recently, the California Academy of Sciences. These outings have provided him with new experiences and opportunities to connect with the community. Vivian has helped my son become more independent and confident. She encourages him to make choices, solve problems, and express himself in a safe, nurturing environment. I'm incredibly grateful for the care and attention he receives, and as long as we can, we'll keep him at Happy Raindrops.

My daughter has been with Vivian since she was 7 months old. She’s now almost 2 years and we have truly become like family. Vivian treats her like her own daughter and makes me feel so safe to leave her in her care. My daughter gets so much love and also enrichment from being in Ms Vivian’s program. She has developed healthy food habits (she eats veggies and meats!), strong social skills, and advanced language abilities in English and Mandarin. A lot of this has to do with the thoughtful programming - music class, art projects, mealtime routines, and practicing sign language in context. Her gross and fine motor development are also growing because of the structured outdoor play Vivian provides. I am so grateful to have found Ms Vivian. She is like family.

We are so happy to have found Happy Raindrops! I visited a lot of home daycares and met many kind and loving caregivers, but Vivian stands out. Vivian is not only kind and loving, this was the only home daycare I found where I felt the owner/teacher was a true early childhood education professional. Vivian really knows the field, she is very well trained and has her home daycare set up to the standards of a high quality center-based daycare. The activities are developmentally appropriate and well thought out. She is communicative and flexible. I can tell she is truly passionate about her work and it shows in every interaction I have observed with the children in her care. I also love that there are multiple staff here, it gives me peace of mind in case of emergencies and just overall balancing the needs of multiple young children at one time. My daughter is very happy there and so are we!

Our son has been going to Happy Raindrops with Vivian since September and we are so happy with her care! She is very communicative, puts thought and care into the daily activities and provides healthy and tasty meals that our son LOVES. We have seen so much growth and development since he started daycare with Vivian and her coteachers. It feels like he is being cared for by family which is exactly what we want and need! We highly recommend Happy Raindrops to any family looking for a enriching and loving daycare!
