My Little Bunnies

I really like this place, it is very nice, clean and safe. My wife and I are excited to have our son here. Now everyone at home are having fun learning Spanish.

My daughter has been going to Little Bunnies 3 days a week for about a year now, since she was about 2 years old. She loves it there, and I never feel bad about sending her.
When she started out daycare around age 1, we first tried Action Day in Mountain View and later a home-​based daycare in Sunnyvale. We never felt great about either, and our daughter would often tell us she didn’t want to go. It was hard for me to tell if the anxiety and guilt I felt about sending her was to be expected as a new parent. Little Bunnies changed all that. Now our daughter often asks if she gets to go. She loves her friends there and gets to do a ton of fun activities. And as I mentioned above, I never have second thoughts about sending her there. One of the reasons we looked at Little Bunnies in the first place is their Spanish immersion, but what we found is all around great.
We’ve had one case where some information in an email was lost, because it was read by one person but not shared with the rest of the staff. Not enough to detract from how great and caring the Little Bunnies team is.

Our daughter has been at My Little Bunnies since November 2014 when she was 17 months old. She absolutely loves it and is always asking to go there. She comes home happy and healthy.
We love that Little Bunnies has a range of ages, which allows the children to learn from each other. There is wonderful clean fun indoor space and a large safe outdoor space for play and gardening. The children are gently guided to tasks that help them learn and grow and be responsible.
The staff take care to keep us updated on progress and let us know about events at the daycare. They have also been very kind in welcoming us to the area. We feel lucky to have found somewhere so warm and gentle and safe for our baby.

We have had our child enrolled in Little Bunnies for a year.
We have found that their attention to the many different children and the amount our child has learned both through regular developmental stages and through direct learning teaching and group teaching has been great. We love the huge diversity of kids there and all the kids play, learn through playing and interact continuously throughout the day.
We have popped by at many times of the day and given no notice, our little way of just keeping track and every time we have been impressed by what the kids were engaged in.
We also chose a bi-​lingual immersion Daycare not because we ourselves were, but because we felt it was valuable for our child. We have our own challenges with our child as every new parent does and we have been able to go to them for advice and care. They have been helpful when we wanted to continue their work with our child at home, guiding us and listening to things we have brought back from our pediatrician. In addition, as a parent, they have tried very hard to engage all of us, from the parents of the smallest infants to the children ready to start pre-​school or school. They have held gatherings for the moms and the dads, and even a holiday type of children’s «musical recital» in which it was really adorable to see each and every little one participate. The artwork, ABC work, shapes and music time is as though they are already in pre-​school even the ones that aren’t walking yet! So fantastic.
I’ve watched some of the tiny babies grow into toddlers there, learn to walk, play and begin their language skills. We would highly recommend Paty and the team.

Seems like a fun place for toddlers, but not for infants: they do not rock or hold infants to get them to sleep, it is too much trouble. They believe in «training them» which basically means letting them cry themselves to sleep. My pediatrician recommended against it and said that even the proponents of sleep training don’t recommend it before at least 6 months, and even 8 to 9 months for some babies.
Lots of research show the numerous developmental benefits of holding babies, and babies especially need it when going to sleep. I prefer to raise my baby in a way that’s best for my baby, not in a way that is more convenient for the daycare. I put 2 stars because they at least had the decency to give me an honest answer when I asked them if they rocked or held babies to sleep.

I do not want to dismiss the negative review that was posted. The woman who posted that came away feeling persecuted, and that is how she feels. However, i can speak to a few things as a parent who had my son here. Jaime, Paty, Katsia, and gaby are really good people. They do not discriminate by race or by any other means. The school is very diverse. My son met children of many religious, ethnic, and familial backgrounds. To question the routine a child has at home is not rude, it is responsible. Perhaps you have a routine at your house, but your ex-​husband has a whole different routine at his house that would negatively impact your child’s ability to settle in. It is not fair to your child or to the Daycare to assume that divorced parents are on the same page — in fact it would be irresponsible to assume that. I have two step-​children and to say my husband and I disagree with their mom about the best routine for the children, would be a major understatement.
You are a single mother — your situation IS DIFFERENT. Not worse. Not better. DIFFERENT. Just as my husband and I are in a different situation than families who have never gone through divorce. Perhaps you are in the very rare minority that had great divorce. But for most people, divorces are contentious, angry affairs. The children of divorce often develop behavioral and emotional problems that make it difficult to ease them into social settings. The fact that your son would not be at Little Bunnies when he is with his father tells me that you do not agree with his father about Daycare.
The family at Little Bunnies is impeccable. My son thrived there. I am truly sad to leave them behind, and I never would have but for a move out of state. My name is Zoe and my son is Oliver. I am happy to give details about the positive experience our family had at Little Bunnies.

DISCRIMINATION — TREATING PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY THROUGH PREJUDICE: UNFAIR TREATMENT OF ONE PERSON OR GROUP, USUALLY BECAUSE OF PREJUDICE ABOUT RACE, ETHNICITY, AGE, RELIGION, OR GENDER.
The word above clearly defines the impression I received from the children’s «leaders» of this household. Obviously, I haven’t given many reviews on Unilocal,unless the service I received was exceptional. For this review, I am actually taking time out of my busy day to share my experience with My Little Bunnies Home Day Care, which was NOT exceptional nor acceptable for any educational environment.
I found their listing on Craigslist which DID state that they were enrolling for both full-​time and part-​time. When I went in for a tour, I was not welcomed by Jaime or Paty, the couple who lives there and who runs the day care. They just had their assistant, Katsia, talk to me the whole time. When I brought up my part-​time schedule (3 full days a week), Jaime finally came into the conversation just to tell me that they don’t offer part-​time care, only full-​time. His reason for only offering full-​time, which I think is pathetic, is because the kids at the day care have a daily schedule. So, if a child only goes to day care for three days only, he’ll come back after four days and not be used to their schedule anymore, then they’ll have to get the child back in sync with the other kids. That sounds like a whole bunch of BS to me. What makes him assume that I don’t have my own schedule with my son when he’s home? Did he assume that I have a wild child who won’t listen and who isn’t behaved? By the way, my son wasn’t even with me when I went for a tour. When I told them I only needed three days out of the week, they had the nerve to ask if it was because I can’t afford full-​time. When I told Katsia that I work M-​F and my son is with his dad on Mondays and Tuesdays during his days off, she said, «okay, let me talk to Jaime and tell him it’s because you are working, not just for going out or anything like that.»
When I went back on my search for a daycare that night, I saw their new listing. But this time, they deleted «part-​time.»
Exactly seven days later (today), I saw a new listing in which they readded «part-​time.» I called Jaime’s phone and the home phone, both of which weren’t answered. I then called Katsia’s phone. When I reminded her of who I was and that I saw that they are still enrolling for part-​time, she seemed nervous and didn’t know what to say. She said, «oh, that’s an old one. We have to delete that.» I had the listing right in front of me while I was on the phone with her and it said it was posted «18 hours ago.»
I’m a 26-​year old single mother, and I honestly feel that they discriminated on my age and marital status. We’re living in the 21^st century, and these people have a lot to learn themselves. They should have realized that before they decided to start «caring» for kids. Or is it the money? Who knows?
I was honestly even considering enrolling my son full-​time, but I am happy to know that I didn’t send my son off to an environment like this one. I wouldn’t want my child to be one to judge anyone by their color, age, sex, marital status, etc. I would NEVER want my son to feel unaccepted like I felt when I was here for a tour.

I was looking for a daycare closer to my home and work for my 3 year old and afterschool care for my 7 year old. My little bunnies has been off the charts unbelievable. The best of both worlds the structure and activities similar to large daycare centers but with the love and caring of a home daycare. Everyday I pick my sons up and they are happy and have so much to talk about. They are picking up Spanish quickly. I’ve seen a huge difference in their behavior as well no tantrums or attitude. They serve home cooked healthy meals my boys love. It’s super clean and huge. The outdoor space is amazing. Thank you for making my life much easier and happier!

Very nice place! Clean and big! Excellent teachers!

It is a wonderful place where my child is comfortable and learning a lot.
