Safari Kid - San Mateo

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!

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.

We have two children of different ages enrolled at Safari Kids and are extremely happy with the care and education they are receiving. We especially appreciate the focus on social-emotional learning and exposure to music and multiple languages. The teachers are warm and loving and our kids love going to school there!

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.

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!
