Acme Children's Center - Palo Alto, California

We are a biracial family and though both my husband and I try to speak Chinese at home, we aren’t fluent. We chose Acme because the Chinese was used more consistently than other schools we visited. Most of the students speak Chinese as their first language and the teachers do an excellent job of meeting students at their level and helping them learn the language. The English instruction is also great and there appears to be a well planned curriculum for all subjects.

We are delighted by how happy our daughter has been with her social and peer relations, the staff and parent community help all students interact harmoniously. My daughter hasn’t been bitten, pushed, or hit. Every time I drop in, students are solving disputes respectfully, and teachers are attentively watching and facilitating interactions.

Overall, this is a safe, fun, nurturing environment where students learn to love learning. After a bad experience with a previous nursery school, we’re very grateful to the teachers and staff here and couldn’t be happier with Acme.

Acme Preschool has been an absolute gem for my daughter's early education journey. The bilingual institution offers a nurturing atmosphere that truly sets it apart. The teachers at Acme are not just educators; they are incredibly loving individuals who understand the importance of fostering a sense of belonging and security in every child.

What truly stands out about Acme is the genuine care and dedication of its staff. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure that each child feels valued and supported in their learning journey. Their passion for teaching is evident in every interaction, making Acme feel like a second home for the little ones.I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact Acme Preschool has had on my daughter's growth and development.

We couldn't be happier with the experience our two and a quarter years old son has had at Acme! Every day, our son comes home talking about the fun activities he's done and singing songs he's learned. Since starting, he has not only made strides in his learning, but he has also become noticeably more social. The teachers are incredibly caring and attentive, and they truly go above and beyond to create a nurturing and creative environment. They pay incredible attention to detail; for instance, they always remember that my son is sensitive to sunlight and make sure he wears a hat during outdoor activities. Seeing our son so happy and engaged is a joy, and we owe much of this to the wonderful staff. The communication from the school is excellent, keeping us informed and engaged with our child's development. We are so grateful to have found a place where our son is not only learning but is also genuinely happy and thriving. Thank you to the entire staff for your dedication and hard work!

My child has spent his preschool and pre-K years with ACME, where education was both enjoyable and enriching. Not only did it provide a solid academic foundation, but it also instilled important values such as responsibility and integrity. Now, he still has play dates with his former classmates, "Frosty the Snowman” from past Christmas performance remains his favorite. Ms. Lily and Ms. Xu have been his cherished teachers often mentioned in the last year experience. We wholeheartedly recommend ACME for anyone looking for bilingual preschools for its exceptional care and education!

We have been attending ACME Children's Center for many years. The school is well-organized and all the teachers are very kind and responsible. They teach many subjects and cultures, with different theme each month. My child always happy to share with me what they have learned at school each day. I feel very comfortable and have a peace of mind when sending my kids to ACME Children's Center.

We sent our kids starting at age 2, and find the school well run with caring and kind teachers, with longevity - most of the teachers have been there since we started sending our eldest in 2019. We like their bilingual curriculum. They’ve also been flexible with us as we moved away during the pandemic, but during the summers we visited and they would accept our kids even though it was for only few weeks. Overall a very well run school that we’d recommend for families looking to give their kids a bilingual preschool experience. We toured other schools as well and found the value for the tuition price was very reasonable.

My son is very active and has difficulty focusing. He switched schools twice after attending preschool. The teachers at the first two schools weren't very friendly towards him. After transferring to Acme School, there was a significant adjustment period, but with the encouragement and patient guidance of his teachers, my son gradually improved his ability to concentrate for 10-15 minutes at a time. He engaged in activities such as crafting and coloring. He particularly enjoys learning from Teacher Xu, who teaches Chinese. He has learned many Chinese children's songs from her. I am extremely grateful for the patience and sincere dedication of the teachers at Acme School.

My younger brother is still at Acme, and he will continue attending until he graduates from preschool. We have great trust in and fondness for the teachers here.

We moved to the area during pandemic and sent our daughters, 4-year old and 2-year old, to ACME. Both have stayed until they graduated. We had a great time with ACME. The teachers were caring and very experienced. My daughters had fun and also learned a lot in both English and Mandarin. They held many events and provided extra classes like dancing and clay modeling. My daughters loved them a lot. Definitely going to recommend friend who are interested in bilingual preschool.
