Diverse, affordable childcare center/daycare for 18mo+?
I'm looking for a diverse, affordable childcare center or daycare for my 16-month-old in Oakland/Berkeley. I'm not invested in any particular pedagogy, so long as there's lots of play and exploration - especially outdoors - and positive communication practices. St. John's in Berkeley is along the lines of what I'm interested in, but it's more than I can afford and I'm concerned about the racial diversity for my son.

It might be a bit of a haul for you, but, our boys have been at Chatham Preschool on Redwood Road since they were 16 weeks old and we love it. I know they have some openings in their 2 year old class right now so, could be a great time to check it out.
They get tons of outdoor time on the huge play ground, and its a very diverse community. It's also the best deal in town from a cost perspective, and they provide lunch/snacks; amazing!
