Acme Children's Center in Palo Alto (4101 El Camino Way #4010, CA 94306)

Neary

Had 2 Kids here for 3+ Years The kindest, most nurturing care-givers and teachers we could have asked for. We started sending our oldest son here when they first opened their doors in 2014 (they also operate the after-school program nearby @Cubberly) - back then it was less than 10 kids total all in 1 classroom! Now they have 4 classrooms and a huge gym in a still-new impeccably clean building. So we’ve seen them grow from the beginning, and the one constant has been that Daphne and her team are simply the best care-givers a parent could ask for. They are kind and loving without spoiling the kids. They are nurturing and will be more than happy to offer their guidance/advice re: any development issues. For example, our oldest was out of diapers relatively early, but refused to go potty at school for a long time (only at home or with us). His teachers at Acme were so nice and patient in helping him get over the hang-up and achieving a big milestone. If you have interest and willingness to invest the time at home, their weekly updates include online links to all the Chinese lessons (stories and songs). Granted, we don’t have a lot of experience with other preschools - we stopped looking/evaluating after we found Acme!
