Parent Reviews
My kids love attending preschool. They came home spontaneously speaking mandarin a couple of months after attending. I love how clean they are. They have shoes specifically for inside the day care to make sure the place stays clean from outside germs. They also take good precautions when there are kids who are sick to prevent spread. The teachers are great. We love the app. We get pictures of the kids. The teachers are also fast in responding to questions and concerns within the app. I recommend this preschool if you are looking for an awesome Chinese immersion preschool for your child.
My son began preschool at Just Kids almost a year ago and we couldn't be happier with his growth and development. At Just Kids he receives the attention and "hands on" learning opportunities with fun and enriching activities. My son is at risk for developmental delays which require additionally support. The teachers give extra effort to support my son's development by working closely with him, conducting assessments, and providing crucial observational feedback. He adjusted nicely and has made a best friend at preschool. I feel comfort knowing he's in good hands at a place where staff is truly invested in positive child development.
In the summer, my family was in San Francisco for several weeks visiting family, and we needed part-time childcare during the week for our two-year-old daughter while we worked. Finding Just Kids—which offered a flexible schedule and drop-in care—was clutch. At first, I wondered how my daughter might fit into a Chinese immersion program for such a short period of time. (She had no prior familiarity with Mandarin or Cantonese.) But by the first day, she was totally into it. She jumped into activities with the other kids. She was thrilled to go to school every day. Plus, Ms. Sandy is a kind, empathetic teacher who made my daughter—and us—feel entirely comfortable. We loved the Just Kids experience and hope to be able to use Just Kids Preschool again in the future during long-term stays in San Francisco!
We have absolutely adored our time at Just Kids. Our twin boys started a few months ago and have thrived there. Ms. Sandy is so wonderful and I love her relationship with the boys. I feel like they are safe, cared for and challenged at Just Kids. They have continued to nap, learn incredible language skills and broadened their knowledge of a range of subjects. Working with the admin side at Just Kids has been an organized, efficient and responsive experience. We really do hope this lovely little school continues to grow!
