Our daughter is enrolled full-time in Wah Mei preschool (Sunset location), in the Mandarin/Cantonese/English program. With Wah Mei being a location institution with a great reputation, we had always hoped our kid(s) would be able to attend. We got off the wait list during COVID and transitioned our daughter over. We have been so impressed with Wah Mei: * COVID safety: As for many parents, it was a hard decision in deciding to send our child back to group care during COVID. Reassuring facts on minimal transmission rates in early childcare settings aside, we have been grateful for the precautions taken at Wah Mei, which seems to be the most careful across the many preschools our friends' children attend across the city. Small stable group, shoes off inside (which I appreciate in general), masks on, spaced out play, daily temperature check and quick wellness assessment, lots of hand washing, and strong communication with families to reinforce shared accountability for safe practices outside of school. * Quality of learning: Wah Mei is play-based, yet also highly educational. The staff shares a lesson plan each week, and my daughter has really enjoyed the games and activities (including dance class!), comes home with great crafts and art, and teaches us new songs in both English and Mandarin regularly. To our delight, her Mandarin also really took off, even after just a few weeks at Wah Mei. She loves her teachers and looks forward to school. * Community: Our daughter was the newest addition to a stable cohort, and the kids and families have all been super welcoming and friendly. We'll be looking forward to spending more time with them all post-COVID! * Other 'perks': We appreciate that Wah Mei provides breakfast, hot lunch, and snacks, which honestly makes life so much easier for our dual working parent household. The menu is also diverse, delicious, and healthy, and we joke that we wish they offered catering for parents. Wah Mei also offers PFA (Preschool for All) subsidies for all SF families regardless of income, which is great on the tuition front. Overall, we love Wah Mei and can't wait for our younger child to join when she's old enough!
