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

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 school's surroundings (pre-covid, they would go on weekly field trips to the park and library and occasional excursions to the

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

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 I've 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!

I've sent my daughter there for two years and couldn't 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.

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

My 18-month-old daughter has been attending Little Panda since she was about 6 months old. It's 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 can't believe how young she is for how confident she is. She's starting to talk, and her words are about 50% Mandarin, which is incredible given that we don't speak it at home. The older children are all incredibly sweet to the younger children, and the parents are a wonderful
