 Benu is a lovely person and my infant daughter recognized how sweet and caring she is. My daughter bonded quickly and potty trained pretty early due to Benu and her staff. We welcomed the support tremendously.

Although this child care is an in home daycare, my daughter is able to still experience preschool activities and socialize with children of various ages. I value this and the older children love my girl. It's been the best experience ever. 

 I have 6 kids ages 4-18 so I am a connoisseur of preschools. We sent my daughter here after she was asked to leave two other preschools for aggressive and challenging behaviors. She has thrived with Benu. I cannot say enough about how highly I would recommend her preschool!

Added bonus: Her husband makes yummy Indian food that is to die for about once a week. Families can purchase it for an extra fee and it is all boxed up and ready when you pick up your happy kid! 

 I can not say enough good things about Benu. As a fellow Early Childhood Education professional, I can attest to the phenomenal level of care and nurturing that Benu provides to the children in her care.
She stays current in child development and is always seeking professional development opportunities. She is a leader in the community, and a mentor to many! If you find a spot in her program, you can be assured that your child is receiving the very best!! 

 We are so grateful that my daughter was able to attend Benu's Preschool. There is a long waitlist because she is the best of the best. She has been in the business for more than 22 years.
She has a structured and well rounded program. Circle time is part of the day where they do story telling incorporating counting, sorting and basic math, alphabets and phonics, shapes, problem solving and also learning different languages, singing, etc. They also get mat time play where they can unleash their creativity and imagination with educational toys and material.
Another activity is arts and crafts where they develop their motor skills, imagination and creativity using different materials, up-cycled material and eco craft.
She has fantastic play time where they develop social skills, sharing, respect, values, etiquette, care for others and creativity. They have dramatic play too.
They also do gardening where they learn botany at a very young age.
They have physical activities like dancing to the music, yoga and walking around discovering bugs, plants, flowers, rocks and keeping them curious.
They also learn about animals and care for pets and a lot more...
My daughter thrived and became more confident at Nunus and I believe that home based child care prepares children for big school and life.
She also offers the food program knowing your that your child will get the proper nutrition.
Nunu herself continues her education and develops her knowledge about childcare for her to practice and learn new things and shares her knowledge with the community. She is also the head/president of the Contra Costa child care owners and is part of other organizations as well.
Nunu and all her co teachers are amazing and are like family to us. Very dedicated and very passionate with what they do. I cant speak highly enough of Benu and her preschool. 

 My son went to Benu's preschool after struggling with several other daycares prior to that and we saw an amazing transformation. He was a happy boy again and we saw great improvement in his behavior and ability to focus, sit in one place, listen, interact with others and self-regulate. Benu is amazing with the kids, firm but loving and caring and this is exactly what he needed. The teacher/ kid ratio is great as there are several assistants. Going to Benu was like an extension of our home and he felt safe and happy there. They do a lot of fun stuff and Benu cooks them delicious meals that even we the parents were jealous of.:) she teaches them great values of respect and care for one another and the community. My son went to kindergarten afterwards and he often talked about Benu and missed her. We highly recommend her! 

 Where do I begin? I met Benu through friends, whose kids had been attending her pre-school over the years. Everyone always spoke so highly of her and commented on how her approach to care at her preschool not only prepared the little ones socially but also academically as she is not simply a daycare but very focused on the children having structured activities, exposure to other languages, other cultures, etiquette and socialization skills.

My husband and I started to attend the pre-school's yearly graduation bbq and I could not help it but to feel teary eyed as I observed the care from Benu and her staff, the love and the happiness in the families' eyes. Even before my husband and I were pregnant, I knew that was the daycare/preschool I would feel comfortable having my baby go to. We asked to be on her waiting list and fast forward to 3 years later and our little bundle of joy is now her student. He loves it and has the biggest smile on his face when I go pick him up.

I have to say I am an anxious mom and there are very few people I feel comfortable leaving my little one with, and Benu is one of them. Everyone that works there is so warm, caring and attentive. You feel like you are leaving your baby with family.
