Spanish bilingual preschool/daycare
Hi, I am looking for a Spanish bilingual preschool/daycare for my child in Berkeley preferably. Not going any time soon but would like to start doing research ahead of time. Thank you!

Highly recommend Rising Sun Montessori in Albany. Smaller class size, dedicated team, zero staff turnover and great parent community!
Check out Kidsland! My 3.5 year old has been at Kidsland on Haskell Street since age 2 and seems to really like it although it did take her awhile to her totally comfortable there after being at a smaller daycare. It's a little confusing because there are multiple Kidslands, and some of the reviews online are "under" the wrong Kidsland location. Kidsland Haskell Street doesn't have much online presence, I think they are re-doing their website currently. They also do activities together with the kids and teachers from the Kidsland on Channing Way.
What we like about Kidsland: It actually isn't a bilingual program, it's Spanish immersion and they really get all the kids speaking Spanish. They spend a lot of time outside. They have a huge backyard with a shade structure so they can do a lot of activities, even doing art projects at the table; I think this helps a lot with keeping all the kids healthy. My daughter has brought home very few germs since she started there. They do a lot of fun activities such as going to playgrounds, Fairyland, the zoo, Berkeley marina, gymnastics class, kids music sessions at Freight and Salvage, etc. Lunch and all snacks are provided. The hours are 8-5. They send lots of photos on Whatsapp so you can see what the kids are up to.
