Our twins have been attending TippiToes since a few weeks after they turned two, and they are now three and a half. In that time, it has honestly become their second home. They love going to school every day, they love talking about their friends and what they did during the day, and they love Lyudmila and Joel. The atmosphere is so warm and caring that we never had any qualms about having our kids there. They have gotten to do so many amazing things like learn about chickens (with real chickens in a coop in the backyard!), watch caterpillars turn into butterflies, grow plants, and more.

Our kids will be moving on to preschool in the fall, but we are honestly sad that we will have to say goodbye to everyone at TippiToes and we will be visiting often.

Our 2 year old child has been attending TippiToes Daycare in San Mateo Village for more than a year and we couldn't be happier!!! The most important thing to us in a caregiver for our children is that they are well-loved and the primary owner and caregiver, Lyudmila, fulfills this requirement perfectly! Every day when he arrives, he gets a big hug and kiss and she is always happy to see him! She and her husband jointly run the daycare and along with their assistant are on site daily. It is wonderful to have a husband and wife team caring for my son and he comes home telling stories about Joel playing "see-saw" with him and Lyudmila reading his favorite books. They make it a priority to spend as much time as possible outside in their shaded backyard when the weather is good and I haven't met a kid yet that doesn't love to play outside!

Lyudmila does a wonderful job of curriculum development; utilizing play-based and academic work in the perfect combination for young children. They read a lot of books, do art projects, learn letters, work on counting and colors and other academic instruction. My current plan is to keep my son there for preschool as well since I know he will be well-prepared for Kindergarten by attending TippiToes Daycare.

TippiToes Daycare provides nutritious, homemade meals for the kids including breakfast, lunch and snacks and is able to easily accommodate my child's food intolerances to dairy and gluten. I appreciate that they have been receptive to his dietary restrictions and are able to manage it.

Overall, TippiToes Daycare provides wonderful care to my son and we have formed a great partnership to meet my end goal of nurturing and developing our child into a good world citizen. I am very confident in Lyudmila and Joel's commitment to that end. I would recommend their daycare with the most high regard.
