Testimonials about Dee's Wonderland Preschool & SISC Education Center
Read about what parents and families say about Dee's Wonderland preschool and SISC Education Center after-school program and summer science camps.
“The most beneficial part of the program for our son is Chang Lao Shi (Dee) herself. She is an experienced child educator with decades of experience working with children. She has helped us through numerous age-dependent behaviors including potty training. She has helped guide us with ways to interact with our rather spirited 3-year old. Also, we like that Dee teaches BPMF and traditional Chinese characters (which is how I learned), and look forward to when our son will start this part of the program."

“SISC is absolutely the most wonderful after school program. I only wish I knew about this program when Zoe was young. She would have been in it since preschool. I really cannot think of anything that can be improved since it is already perfect! I only wish you had a program for junior HS students too.”

“We feel the curriculum at Dee’s Wonderland is challenging and instructive. This is not a place where children go to “just play.” Instead, it is a place to learn, grow, communicate, AND play. The communication at Dee’s is very comprehensive, and concerns are addressed quickly and sincerely. The monthly newsletter is informative and assists us with discussions with Julia at home.”

“Dee’s Wonderland Mandarin-English bilingual preschool program is well organized. Every month, there is a different theme for learning with corresponding arts and craft projects. The children learn to sing Chinese songs and perform in the Chinese New Year celebration. The wonderful teachers and the fact that the program is home-based, create a warm and safe environment for learning and play. Our daughter has been very happy at Dee’s Wonderland. Our only regret is that we didn't discover Dee’s Wonderland earlier.”

“Our daughters always look forward to the afternoon Chinese school. In fact, we are often greeted with disapproval from our daughters if we happen to come early to pick them up! The summer science camp is also one of their favorites as it is a great way for kids to be exposed early to science in a fun environment in addition to Chinese learning. I'm always amazed when our daughters come home and tell us about DNA, light speed, generating power and more. Once again they always look forward to attending the science camp.”

"The best feature of Dee’s Wonderland and SISC education programs is the thoughts put into the design process; this is done by a team of professionals led by Ms. Dee Chang, the owner of Dee’s Wonderland and SISC. To the best of my knowledge, Ms. Chang and her team have the highest education qualifications for providing child‑caring and running various education programs in a home-based setting."

“The most important criteria for us is knowing that our son is in a safe, nurturing and loving environment. We are confident we have found that here. Also, it is always challenging balancing a child’s needs for free play with supervision and structured learning. We are comfortable that this program provides a good mix of this for our son to develop personal responsibility and abilities.”
|
“I believe the most beneficial aspect of Dee’s Wonderland is the experience of working with other children in an environment that is comfortable to her. The small group size and opportunities for supervised free play where she can learn how to interact and play with other children has provided her with skills that she will need going forward in other learning environments.”

“I like how [the preschool] is home based and it’s small. I visited many preschools in Davis. A lot of other programs are bigger. Dee’s program is smaller, and I like how it feels like a home. She has better assessments of the children. She is very experienced and she looks after the kids.”
|
“What I like about Dee’s program is that she doesn’t teach Chinese traditionally, like the way I learned. It turned out to be a good decision to continue in the after school program. Other programs in Davis are only for one day a week for a couple hours. I believe we learn language everyday, not just once a week. A lot of kids lose the language when they go to school. She at least has exposure to it everyday.”

“Ms. Dee is an exceptional educator with high standards for quality, which is reflected in all the teachers who work with her and the activities the children carry out when they are at Dee's Wonderland. Children spontaneously learn from each other, as well, about how to build friendships, enhance their relationships, and develop leadership qualities, all of which help them become emotionally more intelligent individuals.”
