Little Scholars Bilingual Daycare in San Mateo offers a unique bilingual childcare experience in Mandarin, Cantonese and English. We focus on creating a safe and stimulating environment where young minds can flourish. Our curriculum blends music, creative play, and introductory piano lessons to enhance early development and prepare children for their educational journey ahead.
Our primary focus is developing trusting and loving relationships with the children in our infant care. The caregivers in the infant room pride themselves on the one-on-one time spent daily with each child. We provide the highest quality care in an environment that's designed to stimulate through music, mirror-play, tummy time, outdoor play, and so much more. We incorporate that encourages early cognitive, social, and physical milestones
Our toddler program is designed for your active little one who is learning to walk, talk, and explore their environment with loads of enthusiasm. We work with parents to establish individualized goals that we'll work on with your child to promote language, emotional development, and fine/gross motor skills. As in the infant programs, we will send home a daily report to communicate the highlights of your child's day.

With over 10 years of classical piano training, I believe music plays a powerful role in early childhood development. It inspires creativity, builds focus, and nurtures emotional expression. That’s why I’ve integrated introductory piano lessons and musical enrichment into our daily rhythm—giving children a joyful, hands-on way to explore sound and self-expression.
Together, we’ve created a bilingual daycare (English & Mandarin) focused on early education, music, and meaningful play. Our goal is to provide a loving, enriching space where each child can explore, grow, and shine.
