What Do Parents Say About Emma’s Day Care?
Constance C., San Francisco “My son has truly called Emma’s Day Care home since he was two. What stood out to us was the combination of loving, personal care and thoughtful learning—from morning meditation and exercise to creative art projects, home-cooked meals, one-on-one attention, and singing in Mandarin. The beautiful, creative spaces Emma has built give children a real sense of magic, discovery and joy.” Read More
Helen L., El Cerrito “Both of our daughters attended Emma’s from about 20 months through age five, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found it. Emma and her team provide a safe, clean and nurturing environment where children truly thrive. They supported everything from potty training and early language skills to kindergarten preparation, while also helping our daughters build independence and everyday life skills. The multilingual environment, daily updates and wonderful photos gave us confidence that our children were happy, learning and well cared for.” Read More
Zoe X., Berkeley “We toured quite a few childcare programs before choosing Emma’s, so we had plenty to compare it with. The home-cooked meals, caring teachers, well-rounded curriculum and vibrant environment really stood out. Every day we knew our son was well fed, cared for, learning something new and having fun. Emma taught him the alphabet and writing in both English and Chinese, helped him develop independence, and even taught him to ride a bike without training wheels. We eventually moved quite far away but drove through difficult traffic for a full year because Emma’s was worth it.” Read More
Geoffrey S. “After a difficult experience with another preschool, we were nervous about starting our son somewhere new. From his very first day at Emma’s, he walked in happily as if he were going to a relative’s house. He never wanted to miss a day. Emma and her team created a warm, creative environment with healthy meals, art, outdoor play, celebrations and Chinese songs. They supported our family through the pandemic and went above and beyond to make his years there special.” Read More

There were no tears, no anxiety and no concerns about whether she was ready—she walked into school with confidence and was ready to learn. Emma had given her such a wonderful foundation, from learning to write her name and numbers in Chinese to practicing the alphabet, building independence..” Read More
