Tbr® inspection report:, top 3 safari kid reviews.

Safari kid is a wonderful school. My daughter has been going there almost for a year. As she has come from another country, her English speaking was a bit poor. She has improved a lot. She loves all the teachers and misses Safari kid when she is absent. It is a family friendly atmosphere. Safari kid feels like home. The management is great. Ms Vidya is very loving, caring and kind. She is attentive to everyone and everything and manages very skillfully.I am happy to see that Safari kid has the latest research based curriculum.I strongly recommend Safari kid to every parent.

My son has been going to Safari Kid preschool in Santa Clara for last 4 months. We have seen a good improvement in my child's daily activities, communication and academics. MS Vidya shares the feedback and progress on regular basis and asks parents back the feedback on how the teachers are doing, and what areas the parents expect their kid to be focused on. She understands, it is very important to share and receive feedback.

My kid attended the school for almost 10 months for Pre K and TK program. She loves going to school. Her teachers are very helpful and encouraging and the academic program is great that helped my kid to gain confidence in her learning abilities and we are very happy with the service. Safari kid is more affordable than any other private school.

TOP 3 ACTION DAY SCHOOLS REVIEWS

Excellent care and education for young kids! I was fortunate to have found a spot for my 4.5 year old son for backup care. Although we spent just over 3 days at the center the experience was class apart. Ms Vicky and Ms Sarah were very helpful in the ensuring we were prepared in terms of paperwork. Ms Nisa was just amazing for the 4 year old class. At the end of each day I would get a report of what my son did, I knew he had eaten his food and he was well rested and he made artwork in school. They all made us feel like a family. I am so grateful for this center and all they do for pre school kids.

My son has just spent the last year in the preschool program here and we both really loved his time here. The flexibility on hours and the energy and care of the teachers and aids made it a perfect fit. Great program with lots of fun activities. My son learned lots new skills and came out of his shell and started making friends. Continuing in the fall for the jr kindergarten program at another location. Thank you Miss Sarah and Miss Vicky!!!

He just started going to day care when he was 21month old under ms mae’s class. And for about just 2 month, he learned alot of vocabularies; how to say numbers, alphabets, express his feeling , and so on. Its just amazing and ofcourse he loves the interactions with his friends and all teachers there. I really recommend for your kids! I am so appreciate all the works from his teacher

TOP 3 SANTA CLARA KINDERCARE REVIEWS

My son has been in KinderCare since he is 6 months old and he really likes it (he is 3 years olds now). The team and the teacher are amazing and are taking care of the kids as if they were their owns. I have built a real partnership with the team in raising my son. You definitely can see that the kids are happy and having a lot of fun but also that they are learning and growing a lot. On top of that my son has the same friends since the infant room. Communication with the app is awesome and you can follow anytime what your kids are doing. The environnement is safe and the playground is great. Miss Gina and Miss Lauren (the Director and Assistant director) are doing an amazing job on gathering parents and providing a safe and loving environment for the kids. We are like family

Kindercare Santa Clara has been an awesome place for my son! He started as a baby and is now in the 2 year old class - we love all the teachers and feel like our son is growing and developing every day. They are flexible with our schedules and our sons needs. We would definitely recommend Kindercare!

My kid has been going to daycare for around a year now and he loves going there. The teachers are very friendly and caring. Miss Angelica, Debbie, Daisy, Leah & Marcella are all kind & friendly.

We absolutely love safari kids , Fowler location . I have two kids who currently go there , since 1.5 years now . 1. Teachers are fantastic . Very loving , friendly, really care for my kids like their own. Very involved , constantly giving me day to day upstate's . I loved the end of year meeting we had last year talking about my kids progress . 2. Fun activities - lots of STEM, play , and teaching behavioral skills to the kids . It's a great mix 3. Year around !!! LOVE THAT it's year around and not closed in summer , as the struggle for childcare is real 4. Timings are great ! 5. Yard is a good size , good play area as well . Currently being revamped to be all new ! Overall my kids have THRIVED here , have made fast friends , hands down best thing about the school are the teachers . Would highly recommend this school for your kids !

We absolutely love safari kids.. The teachers are amazing. They always welcome kids with open arms and smile ( special call out to Ms Pallavi and Ms Vidhya) constantly encouraging kids and identifying talents in them Both pre and post Covid the school has constantly upheld the cleanliness protocols. I love their spirit of holidays. There is always a Kids performance to enjoy.

I am writing this review with immense gratitude for the outstanding teachers at Safari Kid - Miss Pallavi, Miss Vidhya, and Miss Kelley. My child spent a year and a half under their care, and it has been an incredibly positive experience. The warmth and kindness exhibited by these teachers create an environment that goes beyond the ordinary. It's with a heavy heart that I had to pull my child out due to relocation, as Safari Kid has become a second home for her. The level of care provided by these teachers is exceptional. They not only nurture the academic growth of the children but also ensure their well-being. Knowing that my child is in the hands of such dedicated educators allows me to be worry-free throughout the day. The teachers at Safari Kid, led by Miss Pallavi, Miss Vidhya, and Miss Kelley, make sure that the kids are well-fed, rested, and happy. This care and attention have been a source of comfort for me as a parent. Saying goodbye to Safari Kid is bittersweet for us. We will miss the warm and nurturing environment, the caring teachers, and the overall positive experience that our child had during her time there. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making Safari Kid such a special place for our family. If you are considering a preschool for your child, I wholeheartedly recommend Safari Kid for its exceptional teachers and welcoming atmosphere

Safari Kid staff have been so patient and nurturing to my son. My son is a pandemic baby, so he's very anxious around new people and has a hard time with transitions. After a few weeks, my son no longer cries during drop off and actually reaches for his teachers now! That tells me he trusts them. Staff are pretty responsive when called or sent text messages, which I appreciate because I usually have a very busy work day and unable to answer phone calls.

My son became a part of Safari kids when he was 19 months, he adjusted so fast thanks to the AMAZING staff at the fowler location. He is super happy and excited to go to day care everyday . He is exposed to a lot of great topics and activities. The staff at the Fowler location is extremely understanding, loving, and considerate of families and their needs. Special mention for Ms Pallavi and Ms Vidhya who welcome all kids with with a smile every morning. We are extremely happy and satisfied with our experience and would definitely recommend them .

The teachers here at Safari Kids are great , special shout out to Ms Pallavi and Ms Vidya , they have been extremely good and caring with our daughter. Highly recommend this place.

My older son attended Safari kids and now his little brother is going to their preschool program. I have only extremely positive things to say about this facility and the teachers, in particular Ms Pallavi and Ms Vidhya. My son comes home happy every single day. I am amazed at everything he has learned since he has been there. He is well taken care of, loved and taught on a daily basis. The facility is clean and tidy and their preschool hours are flexible. I highly recomend Safari kids!

We currently send our 3year old and have also sent our elder kid to Safari kids (until he started kindergarten). The teachers are amazing and really care for the kids betterment and enrichment. They always strive for the best out of the kids without pushing them too hard. Their curriculum is set perfectly to cater different age groups. They also handle kids very patiently and nurture to the kid's needs. Special mention to Ms. Pallavi and Ms. Vidya for their unconditional care and attention towards my child. I highly recommend Safari kids to parents who are looking for a safer environment for their child.

Safari Kid Fowler teachers are amazing, my daughter always tells me she has so much fun with Ms. Pallavi and Ms. Vidya. She adjusted very quickly at Safari Kid, has made friends, and is so excited to go to school everyday! She has also grown more comfortable going potty since starting at Safari Kid.

My daughter has been attending preschool at Safari Kid since last year and still is, and I'm extremely happy with the decision to send my daughter here. My daughter enjoys her time here. She learned to sing, draw, and make seasonal decorations activities and brought home to show our family. My daughter become more active both physically and mentally. The staff and teachers are very caring and supportive. I highly recommend Safari Kids Fowler if parents want to send their kids to preschool.

Visual arts.

Our students will be encouraged to express themselves creativity through hands-on experiences in which all senses will be engaged. The art that students create will often be an extension of the learning in other core disciplines, which will help them to process and internalize the learning in a meaningful way.

Critical Thinking

At Safari Kid we want our students to be able to rationalize with each other over a complex topic or idea and break it down into smaller parts that they can understand. Then they can analyze it in a way that helps them to solve the problem. This sort of mulling over a topic or problem is the key to having success in future academic and career adventures. It is the way society is able to progress and come up with solutions to everyday problems. Our critical thinking courses are designed with these goals in mind.

Public Speaking

Students who can express their ideas clearly and confidently are guaranteed to be more successful throughout their academic careers. By beginning to learn the communication skills associated with speaking well in public, our Safari Kid first graders will be well-prepared for their future. Having enough self-confidence to speak up in a group setting is a door-opener to endless opportunities.

Safari Kid understands that the benefits of drama in the elementary curriculum have been researched and cited in various studies. First graders will be building their self-confidence. It is often easier to be bold while playing a character. And this can in turn ignite a confidence within. Taking risks and performing in front of others, even if it is just reading lines aloud, offers a trust building experience for students, which in turn also builds their self-esteem. Students in our drama course are required to communicate with one another, collaborate on ideas, and be creative. These are skills that will transfer over to all areas of our students’ academic lives. They will enjoy their time transforming into characters, while they unknowingly are also practicing important reading skills such as fluency and reading comprehension. Our drama course also teaches empathy. For how better to empathize, than to actually jump into the shoes of someone else?

Engineering

Our Safari Kid first graders will continue discovering the excitement of planning and building through our innovative engineering curriculum. Hands-on activities will challenge our students to think spatially and logically, empowering them to become problem solvers. Perhaps even more importantly, through the trials of engineering, values such as perseverance and determination will be naturally reinforced.

Computer Readiness

In Safari Kid’s Computer Readiness classes students will learn the basics of computers which will help them to access computers with more confidence. They will also learn to think logically. In today’s world of ever-growing technology, these are important skills to show command over.

Junior Leader

Research has found that leadership is not necessarily an innate quality. It can be taught; and there is no better time to teach leadership qualities, than when kids are at the start of their academic careers. By teaching our students the characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors of great leaders we are giving them the tools to become leaders themselves. Students in Safari Kid’s 1st Grade Junior Leader class will be engaged in activities that will invite them to build their character and encourage them to flex their leadership muscles. By learning about great leaders from the past we can show them the power for good that having good leadership skills can foster. Through it all, they will begin to see that they too are able to lead with confidence and make a positive change in the world.

At Safari Kid we know that learning fluency in a new language is much easier to achieve when you are exposed to it from a young age. However, this is not the only reason why Spanish is included in the Grade 1 curriculum. There are also cognitive advantages such as increased creativity and problem-solving skills, not to mention the vocabulary and reading benefits. Students who are bilingual in Spanish generally have an easier time with vocabulary due to a connection found with Latin word roots. The connections that can be made to others of LatinX descent can also be rewarding. These are the present benefits but being bilingual will also translate into having greater opportunities for colleges and careers in the future.

Our students will continue to learn the basics of Spanish including phonics and letters, numbers, colors, shapes and more. They will also learn to speak conversational Spanish, so that when they are finished, they should be able to speak simple sentences, but with confidence.

Social Science

Safari Kid’s Grade 1 Social Science Curriculum will provide insight into the history of our world and shed light on the connection between the past and the present. Students will learn how to read maps and use them to help explore the continents of our world. They will learn about ancient civilizations and the countries that once were. They will learn about various religions and exotic festivals associated with them. And students will follow the lives of various explorers of America. By charting a clear map of our past, our students can forge boldly into the future to assist in creating their own rich history.

In Safari Kid’s 1st Grade Science Curriculum children will continue to answer their natural questions about the world through observation and experimentation. Students will study the physical sciences, earth sciences, life sciences, and scientific principles of investigation and experimentation. The content will be presented in an engaging and memorable format in which students realize that science is often just about staying alert to what happens or what can happen as a result of some other action and making a note of it. Some of the topics that will be covered are Space Exploration, Plant and Animal Survival, Light Refraction and Sound Travel, Simple Machines, Human Systems.

Safari Kid’s mathematics curriculum continues to provide a solid understanding of math concepts using engaging methods, hands-on manipulatives, and real-life examples that cleverly illustrate how math is useful in day-to-day life. Each math skill introduced will build upon the previous one taught as we introduce students to new concepts at a pace that ensures mastery. Our goal is to foster a positive attitude for learning math and set the students up for success for years to come. A command over the basics will provide the proper stepping-stones for the next level of mathematical principles.

Research has shown a positive correlation between spelling growth and gains in reading comprehension, vocabulary growth, and writing. For this reason, the Safari Kid Grade 1 Curriculum includes an explicit plan for exemplary spelling development. Every week the children will master ten words through proven methods and have a spelling test on Friday.

Language Arts

The Safari Kid Language Arts curriculum lays the foundation for comprehending all other disciplines as it acts as a bridge between simple decoding to reading for knowledge. It continues to work on such reading strategies as phonemic and phonetic awareness, blending and segmenting, and the recall of spelling patterns, but also builds comprehension through activities such as read and illustrate, sequencing, and vocabulary building. All of this skill building helps our first-grade students transition from learning to read to reading to learn.

Safari Kid Kindergarteners will discover the process of construction through our innovative engineering curriculum. Students will learn to investigate a problem, imagine a solution, and then design, create, and improve it. Our students will begin to see themselves as problem solvers and inherently learn such values as perseverance and determination.

Students who can express their ideas clearly and confidently are guaranteed to be more successful throughout their academic careers. By beginning to learn the communication skills associated with speaking well in public, our Safari Kid Kindergarteners will be well-prepared for their future. Having enough self-confidence to speak up in a group setting is a door-opener to endless opportunities.

Safari Kid understands that it is much easier for children to learn fluency in a new language if they start from a young age. It also provides cognitive advantages such as increased creativity and problem-solving skills. Children who are bilingual in Spanish generally have an easier time with vocabulary due to a greater understanding of Latin word roots, thus boosting their reading ability.

The benefits of learning Spanish range from increased reading skills and test scores now, to having greater opportunities for colleges and careers in the future. With an introduction to Spanish, our Kindergarteners are already brightening their future.

Handwriting

Safari Kid’s Kindergarten curriculum is research-based, and therefore we have studied the positive correlation between perfecting handwriting and overall reading development. When students practice their writing of letters, they are also practicing the way words are formed, the way letters create certain sounds when put together, and the way words are put together to form sentences. So, in addition to having legible writing, they are also reinforcing important reading and writing skills.

Safari Kid’s Drama curriculum provides another medium for practicing important Kindergarten reading skills and to have a blast doing it! In addition to the fun of role playing and acting, Safari Kid understands how to seize the opportunity for increasing fluency in reading and increased vocabulary development. The art of acting gives reading purpose and drives natural motivation from wanting to deliver a polished performance.

Computer Science

There is no better time to teach leadership qualities, than when kids are just beginning their academic careers. When we teach children the characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors of great leaders we are giving them the tools to become leaders themselves. We will show them the power for good that having good leadership skills can foster. Through goal setting, responsibility roles, and reflection they will begin to see that they too are able to lead with confidence and make a positive change in the world.

With a clear understanding of the past, our students will better understand the present and take heed into the future. Safari Kid’s Social Science curriculum covers both world history and American history. It presents history as a series of stories about the actions of individuals and groups of people that can be analyzed and evaluated. Students will also learn about geography and utilize maps and globes in a way that will benefit future studies of the world.

Research has shown a positive correlation between spelling growth and gains in reading comprehension, vocabulary growth, and writing. For this reason, the Safari Kid curriculum includes an explicit plan for exemplary spelling development.

Safari Kid’s Kindergarten Science Curriculum encourages our student’s natural curiosity about the world around them and develops that into actual scientific observations and discoveries. Our kindergarteners will be introduced to the physical sciences, earth sciences, life sciences, and the scientific principles of investigation and experimentation through engaging stories and science books, hands-on experiments, and purposeful projects.

Students will delve into the craft of writing by analyzing the written word. Stories will be broken down to their simplest parts and studied so that the craft of writing also becomes simplified. Grammar rules will be introduced in a natural progression. Skills such as summarizing and comparing will be mastered in preparation for higher order skills such as inference and the synthesis of information.

Safari Kid’s mathematics curriculum uses engaging methods such as hands-on manipulatives, and real-life examples that cleverly illustrate how math is useful in day-to-day life. By using a teaching sequence that builds upon itself, we introduce students to new concepts at a pace that ensures mastery and fosters a positive attitude toward learning math. Their command of the basics will provide the proper stepping-stones for the next level of mathematical principles.

At Safari Kid, we know that reading is the key to all other learning, so we make it our Kindergarten mission to master this skill. We begin with conquering phonetics and fluency and progress to higher order reading skills such as vocabulary retention and comprehension. Students will be eager to read our high interest fiction and non-fiction reading materials which are designed to educate as well as delight the reader.

What to know about Kamala Harris' record as California attorney general

By Brandon Downs , Richard Ramos

Updated on: July 21, 2024 / 5:45 PM PDT / CBS Sacramento

President Biden announced Sunday that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and would endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic Party nomination.

Before her rise to the vice presidency, Harris began her career in the Bay Area, where she worked as an Alameda County prosecutor, and was later elected San Francisco district attorney in 2004. 

She served two terms in that role from 2004 to 2010, becoming the first woman to be elected San Francisco district attorney and the first Black and South Asian American woman to hold the office. 

In 2010, she succeeded Jerry Brown as California attorney general, becoming the first female, Black and South Asian attorney general in the state's history. 

She was sworn into the role in January 2011 and served until 2017, when she joined the U.S. Senate after being elected in 2016.

Here are some things to know about Harris' record as California's top prosecutor.

Homeowner protections

One of Harris' key accomplishments as attorney general came in 2012 when she, along with 40 other attorneys general, reached a multi-billion dollar deal with five U.S. banks that settled over flawed mortgage foreclosure practices. The deal provided relief to those affected by those practices, with the average eligible homeowner receiving $20,000 in mortgage aid.

As the attorney general of the nation's most populous state, Harris had a leading role in the deal, calling the initial settlement figure "crumbs on the tabl e."

In 2013, Harris announced more protections for homeowners facing foreclosure when the California Homeowner Bill of Rights was signed into law by then-Gov. Brown.

Opposition to the death penalty

Harris has previously said she personally opposes the death penalty, declining to pursue it earlier in her career. However, she announced in 2014 that she would appeal a federal court ruling that declared it unconstitutional on the grounds that delays in capital punishment in the state rendered it cruel and unusual.

"I am appealing the court's decision because it is not supported by the law, and it undermines important protections that our courts provide to defendants," Harris said in a statement at the time. "This flawed ruling requires appellate review."

Years later, as a senator and during her 2020 run for president, Harris pushed for a federal moratorium on the death penalty after California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order halting executions in the state.

Criminal justice reforms

Building off her Back on Track initiative as San Fransico's district attorney, Harris launched an initiative that was designed to curb recidivism . The initiative consisted of three subdivisions that focused on program development, evaluations and grants. 

In 2015, the California Department of Justice became the first statewide agency to adopt a body camera program, which required all special agents to wear the devices. Later that year, Harris launched a f irst-of-its-kind law enforcement training on implicit bias and procedural justice in an effort to allow for more neutral policing.

Harris also launched a criminal justice open data initiative that aimed at increasing transparency to "strengthen trust, enhance government accountability and inform public policy." 

The initiative included a dashboard that made public criminal justice data on arrests, in-custody deaths and officers killed or assaulted in the line of duty. 

Anti-truancy efforts

Harris has long had a strong stance against truancy since her early days as a Bay Area prosecutor. As attorney general, Harris released the annual In School and On Track report from 2013 through 2016, which detailed truancy and absenteeism rates in the state.

Harris called for parents of truant children to face harsher consequences during her first year as attorney general, something she did while serving as a prosecutor. In 2010, legislation backed by then-District Attorney Harris was signed into law, allowing prosecutors to criminally charge parents of students who excessively missed school.

Critics argued that the law unfairly targeted low-income families and people of color. The criticism Harris has faced for her anti-truancy efforts followed her throughout her career , from when she was a prosecutor in San Francisco through her 2020 presidential run.

Environmental initiatives

In 2016, Harris was one of 17 attorneys general to stand behind efforts to fight climate change by addressing power plant greenhouse gas emissions. She joined a coalition led by then-New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to investigate whether fossil fuel companies misled the public on the impact of climate change.

The year prior, she defended President Obama's Clean Power Plan , which aimed to reduce emissions by 2030. 

She also supported the Environmental Protection Agency's standards to limit gas emissions from oil and natural gas operations . 

Over the course of her tenure as attorney general, she reached several settlements with oil companies over alleged violations of state laws . In 2011, she announced a $24.5 million settlement with Chevron over allegations it violated state hazardous materials and waste laws. Harris later reached a settlement with BP West Coast in 2016 for alleged violations of state laws governing the operation and maintenance of underground gasoline tanks.

Harris also defended in court California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard and the state's cap-and-trade program, which charges businesses for carbon emissions.

Student borrowers and for-profit colleges

In 2013, Harris began an investigation into California-based Corinthian Colleges and its subsidiaries, alleging that the for-profit college engaged in false and deceptive advertising, securities fraud and misrepresented its programs and success rates to prospective students. 

Harris announced  in 2016 that her office obtained a $1.1 billion judgment against Corinthian Colleges. In 2022, the U.S. Department of Education discharged debt for 560,000 borrowers who took out loans to attend Corinthian Colleges, totaling about $5.8 billion in student loan discharges.
