Little Panda Daycare is a wonderful place and to say my little one loves it is an understatement. My child has been at Little Panda since she was 6 months old. She was born right before the pandemic, so until she started daycare, she had only been held by me and my husband. Before her first day, I was very anxious. I worried she wouldn’t adjust well, that she wouldn’t eat well, that she wouldn’t sleep well. I’m glad to report that my anxieties were quickly quashed after only a few days; my child is thriving. The teachers work on physical development (gross and fine motor skills). They teach her how to do new things and encourage her to be independent. Most importantly, my child is happy! She is always excited to be dropped off in the morning and has to be bribed to come home in the afternoons. Not only has Little Panda done wonders for her educationally and emotionally, I feel like they have also taught me how to be a more confident parent.

My child has been attending for the past 8 months and she loves it. They have wonderful facility with multiple back yards. Children are engaged in learning through variety of projects that are fun and age appropriate.

The Little Panda preschool is a place that strives to nurture playful, responsible, calm, and self-reliant children and at the same time serve as a gathering place for parents & their families through classes, celebrations, filed trips, and the like. Kids engage in imaginative play, crafts, outdoor play, gardening, cooking, hiking and singing, often accompanied by the teachers singing and storytelling. The preschool provides different structure themes throughout the year. Teacher Tiffany is a wonderful resource for everything from parenting advice to crafting, she more than makes up for it with her clear love for her work, her immense knowledge and intuition about raising little people, and the level of mutual respect she has with the kids. Although my kids attended the school 10 years ago, they still love the place and always want to visit teacher Tiffany.

Our daughter was having trouble in her previous school, in part because they kept the kids cooped up all day. We transferred her to Little Panda right before her fourth birthday, thinking that even though it was probably too late for her to pick up much Mandarin, the school would be a better fit.She immediately started thriving. We credit several things: The love and patience exhibited by the school from its director on down, the creative and enthusiastic embrace of the schools surroundings (pre-covid, they would go on weekly field trips to the park and library and occasional excursions to the zoo, pumpkin patch, etc), and the outstanding physical space theyve created for learning and play.In addition, we were shocked when, after just ten months at Little Panda, our daughter passed the SFUSD Mandarin fluency evaluation. Now, in her 18th month at LP, our daughter is completely comfortable having Mandarin conversations and is even developing legible Chinese handwriting. The school pulled this off without her English education suffering; shes reading and writing well in that language too.

My 18-month-old daughter has been attending Little Panda since she was about 6 months old. Its an incredible preschool and a wonderful place for our daughter. She thrives there: the mixed-age instruction give her a lot of confidence to interact with older children, and other parents/nannies that meet her at the playground cant believe how young she is for how confident she is. Shes starting to talk, and her words are about 50% Mandarin, which is incredible given that we dont speak it at home. The older children are all incredibly sweet to the younger children, and the parents are a wonderful community. They take field trips every week: to the library, the park, the zoo, and elsewhere in the City. I cant imagine a better place for our daughter.

We love Little Panda! My 3 year old has been attending part-time for the last year and we intend to keep her there until kindergarten. She absolutely loves school. She does art and science projects, lots of water play, goes on field trips to local parks (and occasionally further afield), and comes home singing songs in Mandarin. I like that there are multiple outdoor areas stocked with different kinds of supplies for open-ended, imaginative play.I really appreciate Tiffany’s philosophy and the way she approaches children. It is a very loving environment but the teachers do not overly baby the kids — they’re taught to do things for themselves and then take great pride in their accomplishments. The staff was also extremely supportive and accommodating when we first started and I’ve always found them to be responsive when I’ve had questions or concerns. It’s been wonderful to watch my sweet kiddo blossom at Little Panda.

Our son started at little Panda at 15 months - and one of my biggest regrets was not starting him there sooner. He has developed wonderful social, life, and emotional skills in a fun, loving, and highly empathetic environment where teachers truly understand the ups and downs of being a kid. As a first time parent Ive learned so much from Teacher Tiffany and Katie just in casual conversation and in parent teacher conferences. We are so glad to have found Little Panda!

Ive sent my daughter there for two years and couldnt imagine a more perfect learning environment. They do art projects, field trips to Chinatown and the park, they take care of chickens and grow plants, and every day she comes home happy and the best kind of tired from having so much fun. My husband and I will be forever grateful to Teacher Katie and Teacher Tiffany for this wonderful time in her life.

Stingy Tiffany Zhang , Please turn on the lights for kids when they re writing. It hurts their eyes. No tissue paper for all of the poor students. Snivel everywhere. Dont even worth a star.
