Looking for part-time daycare/preschool
Hi all
My family and I have just moved to the East Bay and we are looking for a part-time preschool option for my 3.5 year old son and a part-time care option for my 1 year old. I know the year is just started and most schools are at capacity but any ideas are appreciated.
Thank you!

Not sure where you're located, but East Bay Waldorf in El Sobrante offers morning preschool with aftercare for kids ages 3 to 5, and parent-child classes for young toddlers (no dropoff for toddlers unfortunately). We have been attending the parent-child classes for a year and a half and are very happy with them, and have several friends enrolled in the preschool who are very happy there (especially with the 3-day classes). I know that both preschool classes are pretty small, so it's entirely possible they would accept a child for enrollment even though the school year has started. Give them a call or check out the website: ebws.com/early-childhood
Where in the East Bay are you located?

I highly recommend checking out Kensington Nursery School (KNS). Both of my sons have attended (younger son is still enrolled) and we couldn't be happier with the school. The teachers are truly excellent, and my kids have really thrived there thanks to lots of fun, play-based learning and a wonderful community of friends. We switched to KNS from a home-based preschool where my then-three-year-old son was struggling a bit to fit in, and I'm forever glad we did because it made his life so much happier (and my life a lot easier.)
I know they have space in their morning program. Here's their website if you're interested in setting up a tour. www.kns-ca.org
