Booksin Elementary School

Awesome school. Great parent-teacher involvement and community support. My kids love it here and are learning a great deal.

The YMCA childcare program at Booksin has a great team of teachers who care for their students and their safety. They are trained and supervised by a select group of professional childcare directors who are hired by the South Valley YMCA (which manages the Childcare programs in San Jose Unified District). They are also required to take CPR and First Aid training courses in case of emergencies. While their childcare program is a little bit pricey compared to its competitors (Engenius, Kingdom Crew, etc), the benefits with the YMCA are worth it because the teachers help the kids have fun while learning about honesty, responsibility, caring for others, and how to solve conflicts between each other. They also offer financial assistance for those who need it (check with South Valley or the website).It also has a good learning curriculum and a variety of summer programs, which kids can enjoy.  Of course during the mid-pandemic, the teachers will make sure to wipe down the classrooms throughly as well as the materials and toys. Right now, they are required to teach kids how to wash their hands properly.Overall, I definitely recommend the Booksin community to register their kids with the YMCA After School Childcare program and the Summer programs.
