We are a play-based, developmental preschool that meets the needs of children 3-6 years old. Our maximum enrollment is 12-14 children a day, with about 20 total children enrolled at a time. Our staffing ratio is 1 teacher for 6 or 7 children. Our program is rich in nurturing, materials, space, and curriculum. We spend a lot of time outside in our large yard, with a garden, climbing structure, sandbox, easels, and bike path. Children may attend part-time or full-time, with options for morning, afternoon, or all day. We combine the best of a preschool with the best of a family day care home, and our graduates are known throughout the Berkeley/Oakland/Albany area as being very well prepared for kindergarten.
