Little Scholars Bilingual Daycare in San Mateo offers a unique bilingual childcare experience in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. Our play‑based environment is designed to be both safe and stimulating, giving young minds the freedom to explore, imagine, and grow. Through hands‑on learning, music, and creative play, children build foundational skills while discovering the joy of learning in a nurturing, language‑rich setting.
Our infant program centers on gentle, play‑based exploration. Babies learn through sensory experiences, warm interactions, and plenty of floor time that encourages natural movement and curiosity. With songs, stories, early language exposure, and simple cause‑and‑effect play, infants build foundational skills in a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe to discover the world at their own pace.
Our toddler program is rooted in active, play‑based learning that matches their growing curiosity and independence. Through hands‑on exploration, imaginative play, music, and movement, toddlers develop language, social skills, and coordination in a joyful, engaging environment. We provide gentle guidance while giving children the freedom to make choices, try new things, and build confidence as they discover the world around them

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 we will have piano included into our daily rhythm—giving children a joyful, hands-on way to explore sound and self-expression.
We are a mother daughter duo and 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.
