Milpitas Christian Preschool caters to children 2 years and 9 months through pre-kindergarten. The curriculum is based on the Bible and emphasizes Christian values in students' coursework. Therefore, a child's spirtuality is nurtured in addition to his social, physical, emotional and intellectual being.
Retention rates of students moving on from Milpitas Christian Preschool into kindergarten and beyond at Milpitas Christian School is quite high--in 2009, over two-thirds of the full-time pre-schoolers enrolled as regular students. Kindergarten to eighth grade students attend a separate campus on Birchwood Lane in San Jose, a few blocks outside the Milpitas border.
Summer day camp and year-round day care for pre-kinder is available.
One of the newest day-care centers in town, the Happy Hearts Academy is in a newly renovated building in a strip mall. The curriculum is academic, with phonics, early reading and math. But there is also time for arts and crafts, and projects are taped to the front windows.
The staff speaks English, Hindi and Gujarati.
From sprouting a pinto bean into a tiny plant to hatching a monarch butterfly from its cocoon, Hands On Learning Center is true to its name in providing an education through hands-on experiences.
Children ages 2 to 6 receive a comprehensive curriculum focused on acquiring skills that exceeds the standards for entering kindergarten. For an extra fee, they can take gymnastic and music lessons on top of academic classes.
But it's not just all work at Hands On Learning Center--little ones get to regularly enjoy special events like a petting zoo, a magic show and even a snow day. Christmas shows are always a hit for parents to watch, as is the pre-kindergarten ceremony where grads mimic crossing the stage by sliding down a slide to receive their diploma.
At Safari Kid, there is a "jungle" of activities and academia available to children. Curriculum is based on a child's ability to master certain skills and tasks, rather than based on his or her age.

Teepees, castles, and trainsets can spark any child's imagination, and at Achieving Stars Academy encourages creative development. Children at two-and-a-half-years-old to pre-kindergarten explore and discover their natural strengths and talents through a traditional curriculum using Montessori-type exercises. With three former long-term teachers as the founders of the newest pre-school in Milpitas, children are in the hands of seasoned educators.
Calaveras Montessori School caters to a unique mix of infants, toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners--based on its location at the school district and Calaveras Hills Alternative High School. The little ones at this Montessori come from the general public, employees of the Milpitas Unified School District and young parents completing their high school education at Cal Hills.
Parents can rest assured that their children are being nurtured and challenged by Montessori-certified teachers. To prove it, there are even "kiddy cams" available on-line for parents to sneak-a-peek on a password protected area of their website. Parents will also find it a delight to watch their little ones march in the Halloween parade, frolic in the Easter egg hunt and hula in the summertime luau.
At Geetam's Daycare children is under the supervision of a highly trained faculty that specializes in Montessori instruction.
