Full Ranking Detail
childcarepreschoolbilingualmandarin
Lingli School is a CCLD-licensed child-care center in Mountain View serving children ages 2–5 with a highly sought Mandarin immersion play-based curriculum. Active since August 2011, it has passed three consecutive state inspections (July 2022, October 2023, July 2025) with zero citations—an exemplary compliance record. Yelp reviewers consistently praise the center's caring administrator, small teacher-to-student ratios, enriching activities including weekly dance and music classes, and early care/after-school flexibility for working families. With capacity limited to 45, Lingli offers the individualized attention families seek in the competitive Silicon Valley market, though parents should plan ahead for enrollment and note that the center serves only preschool ages, not infants or school-age children.
