Mandarin-English
daycare in Millbrae.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this daycare. They have been such an important part of my daughter’s early years, and I will always be grateful for the love, care, and support they have given her.

From the beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They treated her with so much love, patience, and kindness, and I trusted them completely. Knowing she was happy, safe, and genuinely cared for gave me so much peace of mind.

They also did an incredible job preparing her for school. She learned so much, both academically and socially, and gained confidence and independence that have made her transition to school so much smoother. One of the things I am especially grateful for is their Mandarin program. They immersed the kids in Mandarin from an early age, and my daughter is now fluent in Mandarin because of the foundation they gave her.

Most importantly, she absolutely loved being there and formed wonderful bonds with her teachers. It is bittersweet to leave, but I am so thankful for everyone who helped her grow into the confident, curious, and capable child she is today. I feel incredibly lucky to have found this daycare and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family! ❤️

Xiaoyan took care of our girls from when both were about 5 mos old. She was wonderful with them. Sweet but firm. Felt like family. She spoke to them in Mandarin and made delicious food so they ate well in her care. Our kids actually learned to be less clingy and tolerant of tummy time after a few days/weeks in her care. They enjoyed spending time in her backyard (which has nice porches and outdoor play areas and shady fruit trees) and her cushiony comfortable living area. The daycare wasn't huge and so the kids all kind of became like an extended family of siblings. She was good about celebrating kids milestones/birthdays in a special way. I felt I could truly trust Xiaoyan with the girls and they developed well in her care. She could look at a child and immediately see potential in them and helped draw out and build on their strengths. Our older daughter stayed with her until 4 years old and our younger daughter until 2 yrs and we moved further south. We recommend her highly and feel grateful to have had her help raising our kiddos in their young formative years.

Searching for the right day care sometimes can be hard esp. when you are in new area. We were lucky to find Xiao from our good friend who had her baby there. She was referred by her friend and her friend was referred by another friend - the list continues. Since we heard all the positive feedback, we checked out this place (after much disappointment with many places).

First, license - let's be clear it's not a shady establishment. This place is a licensed day care.

Also, we wanted a home day care rather than an actual day care, we wanted our baby to feel he's in a relative's place rather than a place for him to spend time. Hygiene and experiences also count, Xiao has 10+ yrs. and CPR certified. I also really looked at the bathroom, the nap room and the floor in general. I'd like to know the rest of the kids to determine whether this place is "happy" place of not. Our 9 mo. forgot about us 2 min. after he arrived, he got busy with the toys and played with other kids immediately LOL. We left him for half day to see how he behaved. He enjoyed this daycare so much !

We like what we saw - Xiao and her mom really have the passion to play. teach and take care of babies. All the parents agree with me, they were so happy to find this place and definitely recommended.

I forgot to add Xiao speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese - while I only speak the first one, I am sure some parents like the fact their kids can learn different languages as well.
