Hi rose-mag,
We were extremely busy as we did our migration, packing and shipping at the end of Apr so that I didn't have time to reply you. Thanks a lot for giving me the detail information. We final ...


Sorry little_angle, I'm not familiar with the school in Milpitas. I live in SF City. For pre-school, you can check the list on internet and see if there's any comments from parents. But, it's more important to go visit the place and see if you like it. I have started checking out pre-school for my son and I and my hubby look for school with the following criteria: -
1) safety : if there's fire distinguisher, sprinkler in the building; if anybody can get in without being noticed; how's the school's discharge policy (who can pick up your son when you're not available and how)
2) academic structure : what my son can learn in school; what's the daily routine; how the teacher deal with kid with learning problem.
3) food offered : we prefer school to feed our son with milk rather than juice; check if they can provide a general menu or what types of food the school offered
4) outdoor activity : if the school has a backyard for outdoor activity; how they bring the kids for outing
5) time : how many hours the school operate (some preschool offers only part-time and extended care needs extra cost)
6) tuition : how much is the monthly pay, any deposit, any donation required (some schools need the parents to help selling candy, buying raffle tickets, aution, etc. which means money in addition)
7) bilingual : we want our son to learn also Chinese
8) parent involvement : how we can communicate with the school

In SF City, most of the good pre-schools have a long waiting list and kids need to be fully potty trained (able to pull down, pull up their pants and clean themselves). We were told to enroll my son before he's born. Some of my friends wait for a few years but still cannot get in the schools. Hope that situation in Milpitas won't be like that.

Hi rose-mag,
We were extremely busy as we did our migration, packing and shipping at the end of Apr so that I didn't have time to reply you. Thanks a lot for giving me the detail information. We finally took a shuttle and it costed $55 for us (hubby, me and our 3-yr-old daughter) and our luaggages. The driver was good and polite.

We are looking for pre-school in Milpitus. Do you have any recommendation? Someone said "Footprint" is ok. What is your comment?

Little_angle,

Do you mean that you will land at SFO International Airport and would like to rent a van to take you to some places in Bay Area? If it's the case, I would suggest you to consider Super Shuttle (blue van with yellow print of super shuttle on the body of the van). I and my family always use this one as it will limit up to only 9 passengers or 3 stops per ride. You can even book it via internet www.supershuttle.com. The charge depends on the destination. For your information, it costs $17 for the first passenger and then $10 for each additional one (over 3 years old) from the airport to San Francisco. Kid under 3 years old is free but you need to bring your own carseat. Otherwise, the driver can refuse to let you get on the van. Other than the passenger fee, you need to pay tip to the driver, usually 10-15% of the total cost. If you book it online, they will automatically charge your tip in advance.

If you don't have a carseat to bring along for your kid under 3, you can consider to take Bart to downtown or other nearby station first and take a taxi. But, the single ride of Bart per head costs over $5 from the airport to downtown SF. So, I would suggest to take the shuttle van in order to save money and hassle. Moreover, if you have a lot of luggages, a taxi may not be able to accommodate.

By the way, when you are going to come to SF? I forget how old is your kid(s).
