Had the absolute pleasure of being a parent of this school for 4 years. My two kids both loved their daily adventures and had a real interest in learning Mandarin. The school director, Sarra, is amazing and is a seasoned school leader. The teachers have all been fantastic and completely loving. I felt so lucky to drop my kids off in the presidio for school each day knowing how much they loved being there. The PTA is also such a great community with lots of opportunities to meet other parents. Would recommend Little Bee to anyone, Chinese speaking or not, it’s just a fantastic school.

I would like to thank all the teachers here. They are very studious, patient and loving in cultivating our children, and they do their best to take good care of our children. I am very grateful to them. Their rich teaching experience and curriculum arrangements allow the children to obtain rich knowledge. knowledge; in addition, 2 hours of outdoor activities every day allow children to exercise their senses, vision, touch, hearing, and smell, and they do their best to take care of the children's safety. I am extremely grateful to every teacher at Little Bee.

I would argue there isn’t a better place in San Francisco for a daycare. Kids need to be outside, and they get to be at Little Bee. Every day they head out for a hike to explore everything the Presidio has to offer. It has been amazing for our two boys. Please don’t let the Mandarin immersion concern you. Perhaps it doesn’t. Maybe it does, but our primarily Caucasian/Hispanic kiddos have done great and thrived and it’s a blast to hear them sing mandarin songs at the dinner table. The teachers are fantastic and I can tell they truly care for the kiddos. Our 5 year old is transitioning to kindergarten and got into a great school. I highly, highly recommend Little Bee!

We love Little Bee. The kids are happy, well adventured on their daily outings & kept safe; the director Sarra is easy to work with, and the parent community is welcoming. On top of a Mandarin curriculum with creative activities daily, the lucky kids take outings every morning to various beautiful Presidio locations, including the ocean & beach, forest, and the new Presidio Tunnel tops. We also appreciate the weekly show & tells, daily photo updates, and music classes. The kids enjoy singing Mandarin & English songs learned without speaking Mandarin at home. Highly recommend.

We really like Little Bee. All of the parents I know there, including me and my husband, agree that Sarra, the director, is really easy to work with and very accommodating. Of the schools we have attended, this is definitely the most supportive of busy working parents. The kids are happy and make friends, lots of photo updates during the day, and a reasonable but not overwhelming number of group activities. We had two boys go through here, starting our third soon.
