Finding a daycare where you can entrust someone with your most prized possession is a very important and difficult task. Finding one that is Russian based too is even harder. Having found Oxana and Teremok has been truly a miracle.
Oxana is kind, warm, loving, attentive and an overall wonderful human who I trust fully with my child. Her daycare is always meticulously clean, the food served is healthy and home made, the crafts and activities in both Russian and English languages are always fun and educational, and I see my child coming home happy and thriving.
On top of all the things I listed above, Oxana also holds several concerts a year to showcase the fun songs, poems and dances the kids learn throughout the year. What a treat for parents!
I couldn't recommend Oxana enough. I even *almost* want to have another child just to send him/her here ;)
Thank you Oxana for everything! Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks to a friend we were fortunate enough to find Teremok for our son and we couldn't all be happier.
Oxana is a loving, caring and very energetic person to be able to keep up with all of the kids. Her educational program is engaging and enriching and because the fun never ends kids don't want to go home at the end of the day.
Oxana's home is clean, warm and very inviting and the breakfast, lunch and dinner makes me want to be a part of the daycare myself.
Our son is happy and well cared for and we as parents are very thankful for Teremok's existence.

Our daughter has been going to Oxana's Russian daycare for almost 2 years now and we would NOT be able to find a better place to grow with the sweetest individual approach to children's needs and a safe and clean environment.
We get frequent updates and pictures showing what the kids are doing throughout the days. Their daily routines include activity time, lesson time (Russian, Math, English), story time, outdoor play and a lot more. A music teacher comes twice a week for the music class.
Arts and crafts are super creative and beyond our expectations! Kids are treated to healthy home cooked meals and snacks.
We will always be grateful to Oxana and her staff for their love and dedication they show in taking caring for the kids.
If you're looking for a Russian daycare, Teremok Preschool will be the best choice you can make for your child growth and development!

Best Russian speaking daycare in Bay area! I can go to office and not being worried how my son spends his day, is he fine. Calm and loving environment, great healthy food. I wish I can go there too, sleep, eat borsh and play, a bit jealous:)

We were blessed to have our child in Teremok for over three years. The teachers and helpers are brilliant, makes everyone feel like they live in a loving house. In fact, it is a loving house, and everyone treats you like you are family, or even better. My son benefited so much from it. He has special needs, and Teremok staff, especially Oksana herself (the owner) is deeply devoting, caring and loving. We still miss Teremok (my son started Kindergarden in a public school), and those delicious aromas of home made meal that you feel in the mornings by entering the Preschool. Wonderful place, I wish I can forget that I am responsible adult, and spend some vacation time in there!

We were looking for a russian speaking daycare for our two-year old, and Teremok was happened to be just around the corner. Our family could not be happier with the childcare services provided by Oxana and her staff. We are especially value home-cooked warm organic meals provided to kids three times a day. Our little one seem to gain some healthy weight since he started the program. Additionally, he learned to hold and properly use the utensils on his own; in only few weeks from zero to hero . We are so blessed the daycare has an amazing curriculum which helps with development and growth of our little one: music classes, arts and crafts, outdoor time, birthadays celebration and many more. I spot the new skills learned and milestones are met by our little one almost on the weekly basis. He happily runs into the daycare in the morning and has a hardtime leaving it the evening. That is the best indication to me that is the right place for my son to be!!! The facility is clean, spacious and suits all the toddler's needs.

It's our 2nd year in the Daycare. The manager Oxana and her team ( Elena, Natasha, Granny Sofa and Olena) are doing awesome job! They are very attentions, extremely accommodating to the child's needs ( in very sensitive days too), patient and warm attention. My girls if was an option they were going there in the weekend and holidays! They are also come home happy and/or they don't want to leave the daycare in the evenings. "Teremok" is providing tasty fresh home made meals each day! In "Teremok" there is a wide range of activities as: crafting, drawing, music lessons with shows, cooking classes, English&Russian classes and Santa Claus in the Christmas. We are very lucky that we found such an amazing place with wonderful team that we can trust. I highly recommended "Teremok" as a perfect daycare that we attend previously. Thank you for amazing job! :)

It is an amazing home based preschool. We absolutely love it and highly recommend it for families with Russian heritage that are looking to being up their child speaking Russian.
Yana K.
We love Teremok! It's been almost three years for our little one, Alice, attending this childcare. Since we have an older kid, we have plenty of experience with different types of childcare and we definitely think that Teremok is the best option. We've even decided to skip TK and let Alice stay in a fun and safe environment of Teremok, for another year.
We absolutely trust Oxana (the owner) and her team. The environment is friendly, supporting development and learning proper social skills. The kids feel like being a part of one big family. The home prepared meals are healthy and yummy. We love the little backyard, where kids have so much fun, swinging, playing with water and jumping on a trampoline. The education program is great, our little Alice is absolutely ready for Kindergarten by now. She knows her letters, numbers, can do some basic math and write her name. Very recommended! Your child will thrive in Teremok!

TEPEMOK is a stunningly amazing Russian speaking daycare! Second to none. There are many options available in Tri Valley, but several things offered by this childcare make it the choice if you want your little ones to master Russian, learn, and be surrounded with care:
1. The principle, Oksana: she absolutely loves kids, and is absolutely, 100% dedicated towards their wellbeing, growth, development and learning.
2. Truly amazing hand made house made food: from great breakfasts, to snacks, to lunches, dinners, etc. Healthy, delicious, loved by the little ones.
3. Activities, learning opportunities, etc., from music classes, to memorizing and reading from memory Russian poems, annual performances, drawings, Russian language classes, writing, etc.
4. Individual adjustments to your kids needs. One of my kids had a health condition. Oksana and her entire staff were extremely accommodating to the boy's needs, ensured he is included in all group activities and truly felt great being there, looking forward to coming back to TEPEMOK each day.
We tried many options but TEPEMOK is by far the most amazing place for your little ones out there, if you are interested in having them learn / maintain the mastery of Russian.

Our 3-year-old daughter has been going to Teremok Daycare operated by Oxana for over a year now. We live in Castro Valley and we've checked out many different Russian-speaking daycares in our town and around, but both my wife and I liked Teremok in Dublin the most. Our daughter absolutely enjoys going there! She's always happy at the end of every day when we're coming to pick her up and she's always excited in the morning to go back to the daycare to be with her friends and instructors. Now my good friend started taking his 2-year-old daughter there as well from Walnut Creek and they're liking it as well.
Katya D.
Our daughter has been attending Teremok for a year, since she turned 2 years old, and she absolutely loves is. She learns a lot, eats healthy and loves the time with all of her friends. Oksana, Lena, and their staff treat the kids as family and our daughter is excited to go to "school" in the mornings.
Ever since our daughter has been attending Teremok, she comes home HAPPY and smiling every day. The proof is in the pictures Oksana sends every day showing kids smiling, laughing, crafting, playing, learning, dancing, playing outside, and even celebrating birthday parties together all day! These pictures really help to have great conversions with my daughter about her day.
Our daughter is learning important things daily like communication skills, listening skills, socialization, sharing, and collaboration skills.
Staff at Teremok is very communicative and every day have activities and crafts which are fun and engaging. The hours are great for working families (8:30am-6pm) which is helpful as well.
I'm grateful that we have found a home for my daughter at Teremok, where she is learning, loved, and so happy every day. I highly recommend this daycare.

I found that Teremok childcare is good and stands out from other similar childcares. It offers friendly and supportive environment for the children. Moreover, Oxana and her staff nurturing development of various skills in the little ones: like social, independent play, musical, math and so on. One of the key advantages of this childcare that children have their own beds for the nap time that was something highly important for me. What is more, childcare provides three times per day wholesome meals, so I don`t have a morning hassle about what to give for lunch for my child. Thumbs up! Highly recommend!!!

Our daughter has been attending the Teremok Russian speaking daycare for almost a year now.
She absolutely loves the teachers and the atmosphere. Everyday she cant wait to go!
We as parents love how clean it is! They have great activities every day!
The teachers also do a great job communicating with parents about everything! They also are always willing to help if you need anything at all.
We are looking forward to 2 more years at this fantastic day care!

Teremok childcare and preschool is amazing! We love everything: homemade meals 3 times a day, activities, projects, music classes, poems that kids learn, big backyard for outdoor play! They even have real beds in a separate room for naptime! Oxana, the owner and all teachers are very loving and kind. My son learned a lot during his first year there. We could not be happier!
Lena R.
For all Детский сад Теремок team,
Thank you for 3 amazing years, amazing care, patience, verity of activities and unforgettable memories. And as the kids sing "mommy can go to work very calm". 🙂

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a gem in my son’s daycare experience at Teremok! From the moment we walked in, we knew this was a special place. The warmth and love radiating from the staff, particularly Oksana, instantly put our minds at ease.
The care provided here is exceptional. Oksana, Lena and her team go above and beyond to create an environment that not only nurtures the children's development but also feels like a second home. Their attention to detail is impeccable; the daycare is always meticulously clean, creating a safe and hygienic space for our little one to thrive.
One of the things that truly sets Teremok apart is their dedication to providing healthy, homemade meals. We love knowing that kids are being nourished with nutritious food that's lovingly prepared on-site. It's evident that every aspect of the day care, from the educational activities to the delicious meals, is thoughtfully curated to support the children's well-being.
Speaking of activities, my kid is always buzzing with excitement about the day's adventures when I pick him up. The curriculum is engaging and enriching (craft, dance, songs, poetry), striking the perfect balance between fun and educational. We've seen my son’s skills blossom through the various activities offered, and it's incredibly rewarding as parents to witness his growth and development firsthand.
It's evident that everyone at Teremok is genuinely invested in creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all.

My daughter attended Teremok childcare for almost 3 years and I could not be happier. She likes being there a lot – as a matter of fact, she sometimes asks on a Saturday or Sunday if she would be going to Teremok and gets upset when I tell her that it's the weekend and there is no Teremok on the weekends. I like how attentive and loving the personnel is. I like all the various activities the children are engaging into – I would never have enough imagination to do all the arts and crafts projects they are doing at Teremok. When my daughter started the daycare she was the youngest there. But time flies and this summer we will be graduating and going to elementary school. I miss this place already.

I want to share my kid's experience regarding staying in Teremok daycare. Working hours are from 8 a.m to 6 p.m. This Russian speaking home based daycare is a real home for every child with very knowledgeable, experienced teachers. It provides fresh prepared food every day (like omelets, cereal, soups, meat and fish, potato, macaroni), music classes twice a week, entertainment performances at least twice a year, morning exercises, cooking classes, learning the alphabet and counting, hand crafts, English lessons and more.
It provides two weeks of free break time twice a year (in summer and on Christmas time), so it is nice to combine it with school brakes of an older child. My kid liked this place very much and enjoyed staying twice a week in the beginning and then full time. It is not mentioned as a Montessori daycare, but Oxana (owner) takes a lot of philosophy from Montessori principles of education.

Our daughter has been attending Teremok for the last 3 years and she loves going there. Oksana and Lena are very kind and caring. They provide homemade nutritious meals, engage kids with various activities, projects, music classes and outdoor play time on the daily basis. The facility is well maintained, safe, and has separate bedroom and playground for the kids. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing daycare for their kids!
