My daughter started at Little Genie at 18 months, and we’ve had such a positive experience. This was her first time in daycare, so the transition was a big adjustment for both of us. Stefanie and her team have been incredibly patient, warm, and attentive as she has gotten used to a new environment and routine. They have been especially thoughtful about her food allergies, adjusting meals to accommodate what she can and cannot eat. That gives me tremendous peace of mind and saves me so much time because I don’t have to prepare and pack all of her meals myself. One of the things I love most about Little Genie is that all of the teachers speak Cantonese, which is such a rare and special thing to find. I was nervous that once my daughter started school, she might begin losing her mother tongue. Instead, she is continuing to strengthen her Cantonese while learning English at the same time. What a lucky little girl! Most importantly, I can tell how genuinely warm and loving Stefanie and her team are because my daughter talks about them constantly and even misses them when she is at home. It is so reassuring to know that she is being cared for by people she feels safe and happy with. I’m incredibly grateful we found Little Genie and would absolutely recommend it to other families.

Philosophy

As your child engages in play-based activities, interactive games, and creative projects, they will naturally pick up Chinese vocabulary and expressions. Our carefully crafted curriculum is designed to make learning enjoyable, age-appropriate, and culturally enriching. Through stories, songs, and traditions, we introduce the rich heritage and customs of Chinese culture, broadening your child’s global perspective.

Location

Little Genie Family Daycare created to encourage curiosity and learning in a clean space. For your convenience and safety, our home includes a driveway for parking. We also have dedicated areas for learning and activities that include a backyard, a nap room, an art area, and a reading area. Our Hayward daycare is located in a family-oriented neighborhood with a park, an elementary school, and a middle school. We’re also only a few blocks from street parking and accessible freeway (I-880 S & N)
