Recommendations for a Spanish immersion daycare or preschool
Dear community,
Hoping to draw on your wisdom to help me identify the best options for a daycare / preschool in Berkeley /North Oakland area.
I am hoping to find a school that is Spanish immersion, with good outside space, and a child-led approach.
Many thanks for your recommendations!

We loved Via Nova, near Ashby BART.
Just wanted to add that I am ideally looking for a facility that feels modern, clean, not dated. I have seen a few schools already that check off the main boxes but operate out of what looks like an 80s office instead of a WeWork type of a feel, hope that makes sense!
Kidsland on Haskell St is probably conveniently located for you and has a great outdoor space. The kids seem to spend a lot of time outside, both there and on outings. I am not sure they have a child-led approach (I'm not actually sure what that means in the context of daycare/preschool age kids). They provide a lot of fun activities and learning opportunities for the kids along with plenty of time for free play. I recently posted a more detailed response about Kidsland Haskell Street which you can find by searching BPN. It is truly Spanish immersion which I think is hard to find.
