In June 2010, I stumbled across an ad for ''Annie's Family Daycare.'' I was immediately drawn to the variety of activities, healthy foods offerings, and beautiful pictures of what I assumed to be a local park that she and her daycare children frequented. Upon visiting her home, I was thrilled to discover that the ''park'' was AnnieC",E!s backyard.

I observed the manner in which Annie lovingly interacted with the children and struck a delicate balance between free-playtime and structured learning activities and knew that this was the place for my then - 18-month old daughter. Fortunately, my daughter agreed with my decision and transitioned well into her new environment. Six months later, she continues to thrive with Annie and enjoys everything from painting to picking fresh basil to help make Annie's signature Pesto Pasta (yum!!!).

Needless to say, we are thrilled to have found Annie's Family Daycare. My husband, daughter, and I highly recommend her! bb

I have a strong recommendation for anyone looking for full-time child care in the Grand/Lake area of Oakland for their toddler (ideally ages 2-5). Annie's Family Child Care is a phenomenal family daycare center, where the children receive a great combination of love, attention, support, creative time, and an age-appropriate educational curriculum. My older son, age 3.5, has attended the center since October of 2008, and we've been thrilled with Annie herself, her facility (excellent space both inside and out), and the other families. If you'd like to contact Annie directly to inquire, her email address is annieschildcare@yahoo.com. If you have questions for a current parent, feel free to email me. ---Happy parent of Annie's Family Child Care pupil.
