TikiLand Daycare & Preschool - Palo Alto, California

Sameera Ponda

TikiLand is a wonderful home daycare. Our daughter Mia attended for 2 years and she loved her time there. She couldn't wait to run through the door every morning! Our son Logan (10 months old) has been enrolled for the last few months and he too is enjoying his time very much. In the short time he's been there his social and development skills have improved a lot. The staff at TikiLand, Pili, Marielle, and Keanu, are very caring and nurturing. The facilities are really nice and cozy. The backyard is huge, with a lot of greenness, plants, flowers, and play structures, making it a lovely environment for the kids to play in, especially in the spring/summer.

We absolutely adore Tikiland Daycare & Preschool! Our 2-year-old can't get enough of it – he eagerly looks forward each morning to see his friends and enjoy the fantastic activities, both indoors and outdoors. The teachers, children, and other families are all incredibly sweet, making it feel like a second family. The outdoor area, complete with a variety of toys, structures, and even bunnies, is a big hit. The bilingual program offering Spanish and English is a bonus, as our little one has started using words in both languages. His favorite toys there are the trains, fire trucks, and the outdoor structure.

We especially appreciate the photos the teachers post on the private page each week, and the regular text messages and verbal daily updates during pick up and drop off times. If you're looking for a warm and loving environment that treats you like family, Tikiland Daycare & Preschool comes highly recommended!

Wonderful place for my daughter! Tikiland is such a welcoming environment for my daughter. It was first time she had daycare, and it went off without a hitch! They are very responsive, caring, and have such a fun environment for the kids! Definitely a great place for your children!

I reached out to the teachers here to help me with a class project and they were so generous to share their experience teaching with me! It seems like an incredibly please with extremely considerate staff. Thank you for your help!!

TikiLand has been the most wonderful place for our two children. They absolutely love it and are so happy. Our two year old always wants to go over the weekend. They have developed great social skills, met lifelong friends, and learned a great deal (including a lot of Spanish). The facility is wonderful - the outdoor area is large and the kids spend so much time outdoors playing and learning! Pily, Marielle, and Keanu have become such important parts of our kids' lives and we can't thank them enough for the positive influence they've had on our children.
TikiLand will always have a special place in our hearts.

We came to California for four months due to a research visit to Stanford University. We did not want to go for the Stanford daycares due to the large group sizes and long and uncertain waiting times, and chose TikiLand instead. And we haven't been disappointed! Our son, who did not even speak a word of English upon coming here, is so happy at TikiLand and has made many friends. We feel comfortable bringing him to preschool every day knowing that he gets a lot of attention and outdoor time. I would highly recommend TikiLand for both longer and shorter visits.

The staff at TikiLand is wonderful!! We were able to use their drop in service and they were so kind and gentle to our 8 month old! He had a great time. We also toured the facility prior to doing drop in care and all of the kiddos looked happy, the staff looked engaged. Their backyard is huge!! Marielle and her mom are so sweet! We will definitely be coming back to do drop in care in the future! Such a great service they offer! Thank you TikiLand!! 🙂

Tikiland staff are accommodating, caring and suuuper responsive. Our kiddo started going there since he was 10 month old. Our original started date was in August, however, we had to postpone it due to some personal reasons and Marielle made a one time exception to accommodate this last minute change. Our kiddo has some separation anxiety in the beginning, and we can tell it improves by day as he gets more familiar with the staff (couple times he starts to open his arm with a big smile when we hand him over to the teachers). There was one time that we observe the kiddo was thirsty when he gets home, so I ask to give him extra water. The next day, I see him with a bottle next to him during their walk outside. This is a place that is loving, friendly and where I feel comfortable trusting them with my kid. Oh, and not to mention they have a big outside space that decorated like a mini jungle, and several cute rabbits.
