Why families choose Bubbly Tots
Care begins with connection
Children learn best when they feel secure, understood, and ready to participate. Our approach brings together caring relationships, predictable routines, purposeful play, and regular family communication.
The center serves San Leandro families with weekday toddler, preschool, Pre-K, school-age, and seasonal care options.

- 10,000 sq ft outdoors — a large shaded playground with play structures, shade trees, and canopies
- Up to 72 children — four separate age-grouped classrooms with age-appropriate ratios
- Founded in 2003 — over 20 years serving San Leandro families
Our curriculum
Rooted in Multiple Intelligences
Our toddler, twos, and Pre-K curriculum is grounded in Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences — every child is unique in how they see, learn about, and respond to the world. Each day balances emergent and teacher-directed activities that nurture cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and linguistic growth.
In Pre-K, children also take part in daily Enrichment Learning lessons taught in small groups — including Spanish, life and animal science, sign language, math, computers, and life skills.
