Summer camp, daycare for our two-yr-old

Hello everyone! 

My wife and I are moving to Oakland from the East Coast and we arrive in a few weeks. We are so excited to join this community.  

We are still looking for summer camp or daycare options for our two-year-old son, for the months of June-August. A full-day program is our goal. We are in Temescal but open to commuting somewhere else in the East Bay to drop him off. Thank you so much for any recommendations!

Hi Mark,

In my experience it's quite difficult to find day-long summer camps for younger kids in this area. The wonderful family-based daycare where my kids go (near Ashby BART) may consider taking a child for only 3 months.  Feel free to email me directly if interested.

Good luck and welcome to the East Bay!

There are very few (if any) summer camps for 2-year-olds because licensing requirements are very strict in California for children under 5, so nearly all summer camps focus on kindergarten and older. You should instead be looking for a childcare center or home-based daycare that has openings for the summer.
