Santa Clara Itsy Bitsy Daycare

My son has been with Marina from almost 2 years old to 4 and now my 9 month old is going to take Big Brother’s place. We absolutely love Marina and highly recommend!! We appreciate the Montessori approach and my son loves all the fun activities. They learn through play, do art, make food, and so much more. My son and the other children love each other and always give good morning and goodbye hugs (with each other’s consent, of course). It’s adorable. Plus she has chickens, an adorable friendly dog, and a fun outdoor play area! (Yet somehow her place is still spotless!) Marina’s is a warm, loving home away from home.

We send both our kids here and they all love it here. Ms Marina is very passionate and caring, she prepare all kinds of fun and learning activities just like other schools because she used to teach children in Fremont. There’s show and tell, also baking together all the time, kids learn while enjoying. Food is great, Ms Marina cooks by herself everyday so it’s fresh and delicious, my kids eat better there than at home. There are animals like chicken and dog that kids can play and interact with. It’s such an amazing place.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Marina and her daycare! From day one, she has created a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment where my daughter has truly thrived. Her Montessori-inspired approach, hands-on learning, and plenty of outdoor play make this a special place. The kids get to explore nature, interact with chickens, and spend time with her friendly dog. There’s always a great balance of creative arts, sensory activities, and free play, fostering independence and curiosity. Most importantly, I feel completely at ease knowing my daughter is in such caring and capable hands. She comes home happy, confident, and full of stories about her day. If you’re looking for a daycare that truly feels like a second home, I highly recommend Marina - she is a gem!

Miss Marina is absolutely great.
