  So glad we found this hidden gem! My 2-year-old boy hadn’t been to any daycare before MSJCC, so I was a bit worried about the transition at the beginning. But thanks to Teacher Mei, he adjusted surprisingly fast - within just a week! Now, after a month, he’s eating by himself more, putting on his own shoes, and even starting to insist on doing everything “myself, myself!” Teacher Mei is amazing - super professional, observant, and really knows how to guide kids in just the right way. You can tell she genuinely cares about each child’s growth, not just "watching” them but actually teaching them real life skills. Plus, she’s bilingual in English and Mandarin, which is such a bonus. I feel so lucky to have found MSJCC. Highly recommend it to any parents looking for a place where your kid will not only be safe and happy, but also learn independence little by little.

  Added additional comment on 10/31/2025: After seeing how well our first child thrived, we had no hesitation sending our second one here too as soon as she is two years old. It feels like a second home where kids are happy, respected, and inspired to learn every day. We can’t thank the staff enough for their passion and commitment! We’re incredibly grateful for the wonderful care and education our children have received. ***** We feel incredibly thankful for the nurturing and enriching environment at Mission San Jose Children Center. The teachers, especially Ms. Mei, are not only professional and experienced, but also genuinely devoted to each child’s growth and well-being. Their bold dedication to early childhood education shines through every day. Our child looks forward to going to school and often talks excitedly about the fun learning activities and caring teachers. The center has helped build a solid foundation—not just academically, but in attitude and behavior as well. We’ve noticed positive changes in our child’s eating habits, social skills, and ability to follow routines independently. These daily habits and values are setting the stage for a confident transition to kindergarten.

  We are truly grateful for the positive impact Mission San Jose Children Center—especially Ms. Mei—has had on our family. She is a caring, patient, and professional teacher who truly understands children and knows how to guide them with both love and structure. Ms. Mei pays close attention to each child’s needs. Whether it’s a learning challenge or an emotional moment, she always takes the initiative to help and communicate with parents. Whenever I’ve had parenting questions, she patiently offers thoughtful, professional advice. Her support means so much to us. One of the biggest advantages of this center is the bilingual environment. Our child has developed strong skills in both Mandarin and English naturally, which we believe will benefit them greatly in the long run. We’ve seen some negative reviews, but honestly, some of them seem more like emotional venting than a reflection of the real situation.From our own experience, Ms. Mei and the staff here are truly dedicated and responsible. We highly recommend this center to other families

  We are so grateful to have found this daycare for our son! Ms Mei is an exceptional teacher—her background with RCEB early intervention really shows in the way she communicates with the kids. She’s patient, skilled, and truly understands child development. Ms. Kayla is incredibly sweet, loving, and caring, and our son absolutely adores her. The staff here create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe and happy. We’ve seen so much positive growth in our child since he started attending. Highly recommend this daycare to other parents! P.S: I love the holiday events that Ms Mei & Ms Kayla prepared!

  I have my two boys went to this preschool. It has everything we need: big playground, big clean classrooms, lunch and snack provided, teacher speaks two languages. The teachers are caring and so experienced. Also this preschool has many families events during the year. Can’t be more happy with kids experiences.

  I wish I could give Mission San Jose Children’s Center a zero-star rating!! I feel misled by the positive reviews about this school. On just the second day of my kid’s attendance, when I picked up my kid, I noticed my kid's shoes were switched—my kid’s right foot was in the left shoe and left foot was in the right shoe. This was not the case when I dropped my kid off. My kid said feet were painful. When I mentioned this to Ms. Mei, she immediately rebutted me, saying strongly, “This is normal. Children wear shoes incorrectly. We are not nannies. I understand your point, but I disagree.” Excuse me? You disagree that children should wear their shoes correctly? The next day, she retaliated by immediately terminating my child's enrollment, fully aware that there were no nearby preschools with available spots. In addition, Ms. Mei charged me tuition and fees that were clearly higher than what was listed in the school’s fee schedule and refused to clarify how these fees were calculated, despite my multiple requests. Ms. Mei has an extreme personality. She is careless, and often seems eager to argue. It feels as if she is the king of the school, expecting parents to listen to her without any questions. Ms. Mei believes no one can challenge her. She never acknowledges any problems on her part and never takes responsibility for any issues. When problems arise, she responds with, “You can report me to the authorities. I know how to handle that.” It seems she is quite familiar with being reported. As a teacher, I don't see any warmth or kindness toward the children—only coldness and neglect. Please avoid going to this school.
