CITY OF SUNNYVALE REPORT Planning Commission

Dear City of Sunnyvale,
Charlie Zhu and Jun Min
280 S. Mary Ave
We have sent our son, Bryan, to Windsor Academy for about 6 months. Bryan has
loved his time going to school at Windsor.
Windsor is only 2 houses away from our home. Our commute cannot be beat as it is
a 30 second walk from our front door to Windsor Academy's. In fact, that is the
reason Bryan was selected for Windsor's program.
Before being admitted, Bryan was placed on a very long waitlist due to the license
limits that Windsor has in place. We waited for many months for an enrollment slot
to open. Windsor gave us preference on the waiting list due to their eco-friendly
policy of keeping traffic at a minimum. Their "neighborhood family" policy includes
the stipulation that local families who agree to commute to Windsor by foot will be
given a preference during the enrollment process. This encourages families in the
neighborhood to be a part of Windsor. Now we are one of those families and no
longer need to commute to Mountainview for quality care.
Our son Bryan would not have made the same progress at a large childcare center,
even if he had been admitted from their waitlist. He is a child with a strong
personality who requires a lot of attention and guidance. Windsor is homey, small,
and secure which is a good match for Bryan and our family.
Now we see other families in the same boat; families that are waiting to send their
child because of the current license limits. For these families-and also for us, with
plans for a second child soon-it would be a very positive thing if Sunnyvale were to
approve Windsor's proposal for a preschool license.
Thank you, in advance, for a positive consideration of Windsor's childcare center
license proposal.
Charlie Zhu and Jun Min
