Gloria's Daycare
Alameda, CA
We feel blessed to have Gloria care for our now 9 month old daughter, who started seeing Gloria at 4 months old. The children at daycare are so sweet and considerate with our baby under Gloria’s guidance. She comes home calm and content and is happy to go to Gloria’s, happily waving at Gloria when she sees her and waving bye bye to me. Gloria gives our daughter baby appropriate food and snacks, and she figured out a schedule to give her bottles when she was originally aversive to them. We feel fortunate that our daughter is safe and cared for under Gloria’s care. She really has a magic touch and a calm and happy environment. Her sister who helps with the baby is also amazing!
My son has been going to Gloria’s Daycare for a year now. He started with her at 6 months old and she has always provided such loving personalized care for him. We don’t have any family in the area, but the love I see between Gloria and my son (he adores her) makes me feel like we have a local grandma. Her home is very inviting with lots of areas for safe play for the children and she provides stimulating and seasonal orienting activities based on each child’s age. Gloria provides nutritious meals using seasonal produce with my son frequently saying “mmmm” as soon as we walk in the door. The other children’s parents have been wonderful to get to know as well at drop off and pick up. It’s just such a loving environment, I felt comfortable from day one leaving my tiny 6 month old in her loving care.
My daughter has been going to Gloria's Daycare since she was one years old. It was important for me to find a safe, loving in-home daycare provider and Gloria came high recommended. Gloria creates a loving and nurturing environment, and she loves the kids as her own. She always has fun activities planned out for them. When I pick up my daughter she does not want to come home! I highly recommend Gloria's Daycare for anyone looking for a in-home daycare provider.
We have used Gloria for children's our daycare since our daughter was 1 year old. She is now 5 1/2 yrs old and still goes for half a day our 1 1/2 year old son goes to Gloria's daycare full-time and we would not have it any other way! Our children adore Gloria and she adores them. She is very loving, nurturing and caring to our children. We can truly say we were lucky to find her. We highly highly recommend her to anyone who may need care for there little one/s.

Our little girl is leaving her daycare in a week's time and we would love for every parent looking for daycare to know about her wonderful daycare provider Gloria Ochoa. She has been providing daycare for children 3 months to 4 years old for more than 20 years, and has been providing loving care to our daughter since she was 5 months old. Like every first time mother looking in search for the best daycare, I visited 11 places along with my baby 3 years ago. Gloria's stood out among all as a genuinely gentle, nurturing, and loving atmosphere. She was reliable, patient, loves the little ones, and our daughter adores Gloria. Many of the kids who ''graduated'' from Gloria's daycare have formed a permanent bond with her, visiting her from time to time years after they leave, which speaks volume to how much and how deeply she is loved. Gloria came highly recommended to us by our friend who was a Bay Farm Elementary teacher 3 years ago, and we want to pass this recommendation on now that our daughter is leaving for a montessori preschool. I know there are many great parents and kids out there who would enjoy Gloria as much as we did! Please call her if you are interested.
