Genius Kids

I could say so much but I’ll try to keep it short. Kamal is a kind and sweet person who was always responsive and helped us through the enrollment process. The quality of the care you will get here will probably be inconsistent, especially if you have a verbal child who can tell you everything that goes on throughout the day. My son is five and barely started kindergarten. After I dropped him off, he cried because he was scared and missed me but the teacher told him he needed to be quiet and stop crying because you’re not allowed to cry at genius kids. I was never told any of this, only reason I know is because my son told me. My son was bullied by older kids who made fun of him for the clothes he was wearing and they called him fat and made fun of his weight. Where were the teachers? I’d like to know as well as apparently nobody knew this happened. The bullying isn’t necessarily their fault, but it is their fault for being oblivious to it and not stepping in when needed. I really hoped that this daycare would work out for us as I had my eyes on it for a while because it was reasonably priced and had a flexible schedule. I did end up pulling him out after just one day, as my son had already had enough trauma for one day. I didn’t want to put him through any more stress. Kamal asked me to give them another chance, but I declined. These issues are not something I could look past. I wouldn’t trust this daycare with my child again after everything that happened here.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!! Day 1 This school,Honestly left me in tears.. I am so shocked and disappointed. Did a walk through with my son (2 years old) He was very happy to play on the playground and look at their pet lizard. He hasn't been to school in a few months. The director asked me why my kids (school age) wouldn't go to their school as well and once I told them where they were going in Morgan hill he had nothing but negative things to say about that school. I called the owner of genius later on to talk to her and before I could get a word in she told me my son was special needs,they didn't have enough room for extra help that my son may need and they couldn't accept him. Mind you my son does not have special needs. She then told me she would call me the next day. Day 2 I called the owner to ask her what was yesterdays phone call was about and I think she may have the wrong person. Right away she said no that was you and started asking me questions. She then stated that my son was (high energy) special needs and she didn't have extra teachers for that. I told her my son does not have special needs. He was just excited to play on the playground. Then she changed the subject and asks about my bigger kids My bigger kids go to a different school in Morgan hill (school age) she asked why my kids couldn't go to her school and I simply told her that they were comfortable at their school and there was no room for my son at their school until next year. She asked me if I was being honest or lying to her. I was so shocked how I being spoken to by a teacher of a preschool and owner I had told her I was completely open with the director the day prior so why was I being treated this way. I thanked her for her time and told her my son would not be attending. Good luck to others as you may have a different experience!

We love Genius Kids! We started bringing in our daughter just over a year ago when she was 4 months old. Ms. Kamal, as soon as we started, held our hand through dropping off our first-born and reassuring us that she was safe & loved. She fielded more than one (crazy) phone call from us and always catches us up to sped at pick up. Ms. Hatice in the Infant Room went above and beyond to make us feel at ease, taking pictures, sending updates, etc and has now become like family. Nothing as a parent makes dropping off your first baby easy, but our kiddo soon was reaching for both "KAMAL!" and "HATICE!" at drop off with a giant grin. She's not just happy there, she's learning like crazy. Now, having just graduated to the toddler room, she can count to 10 and knows her ABCs. I don't know what we would do without Genius Kids, but we love knowing our kid is safe, happy, learning, and loved when we can't be with her all day.

Love Genius Kids! Mrs Kamal, Mr Gil and the entire staff have been absolutely amazing to my daughter since she has started there. She has learned so much so quickly, I’m amazed by the things she can say/do at such a young age.

They don't seem to understand kids. We were walking home from the library when our 6 year old decided they needed to use the bathroom, two country blocks from anywhere. Genius Kids was literally the only place open so we asked if she could use the restroom. Normally, businesses are pretty understanding about this, but this was not the case here. Incidentally, this is the first time I've ever had a business turn away a kid (mine or otherwise) who needed to use the potty. So she ended up pissing herself half a block down the street. Based on this experience, I wouldn't trust them with my kids, as they don't seem to understand some pretty basic things about how kid's bodies work.
