Safari Kid Menlo Park

We had a wonderful experience with Safari Kid Menlo Park! Our son attended from ages 4-6 for the afterschool (after TK and K) program. Sandhya was always incredibly reliable with pickup. All of the teachers were fantastic, and our son loved his time there. When he began to have some intermittent problematic behaviors, Sandhya and the teachers were very supportive and attentive and worked with us to address them. Highly recommend!!

Update 4 years later, with our second kid graduating thru here: New review after our son has also graduated from here: It gets even better. Thank God for the day we met Sandhya and her great team of teachers including Bev. The team has pointed all things noticed in school and teamed up with us for developing all sorts of great positive habits - including which words to use so the school and home teams can have consistency. Our son never hesitated to go to school any day, he was looking forward to it, and also looking forward to showing off the new things he learned at or did in school to us, including their online gatherings during the Covid lockdown 2 years ago. Looking back, it's quite a lot of things they learned and did, we even learned new stuff from them. Our daughter continued to talk about the teachers during her time even after a year has passed. Still deserves the 5+ star year after year. ___________ Previous review four years ago: ___________ We are super happy with this school, and the attention and personal care of the team here. Having heard great things about this place, we decided to take our 2 year-old here even though she would be the youngest after having recently become Safari Kid under a new lead teacher. They have retained some fantastic teachers from the previous naming, and also acquired a great energetic lead teacher. All the teachers here genuinely care about the kids, and they love their job, and it shows. Our daughter acquired new skills and better control and discipline in just the first 2 weeks. They are doing a good mix of building skills on regular activities as well as doing new things to keep things exciting and challenging for the kids. There is also a very healthy balance of mingling with older kids a few times during the day, which we observe is beneficial for our child. In our second month, but so far, nothing less than great.

Ratio of kids to teacher is very off. The space is too crowded

Hands down one of the best preschools I have ever been apart of!
