Re: looking for childcare
If you are
in the Berkeley area, try Suzanne Carlone - she is a
wonderful woman who took care of our son for 2 years out
of her home in Berkeley near Solano (please see her
reviews on BPN) and always returns calls. 510.526.8207.
If you have any questions about her, please feel free to
give me a call. Jua
Suzanne Carlone runs a small daycare out of her beautiful home
in N. Berkeley (near Solano) and currently has an opening.
Suzanne has cared for our now pre-schooler since he was 8
months old. She uses her entire home for the children,
including all of her 3 bedrooms where each child gets their own
room for napping. She keeps things simple with only non-
electronic toys (dramtatic play, puzzles, trains, indoor
climbing structures) and takes the kids on daily walks to the
nursery, and provides nutritous, wholesome foods. You have to
visit her to see it, but her environment is one of warmth, calm
and order.

Suzanne Carlone has been caring for our 2 yr old son since
he was an infant. I had visited many small day care
providers and was continuing my search, but the minute I
walked into Suzy's home I just knew that this was a place
where I knew my son would be cared for and loved.
Suzy is in a quiet neighborhood near solano and uses her
entire 3 bdr home to care for about 3-4 children at a
time. She's licensed for up to 6, but likes to keep the
numbers low for personal attention. She doesn't allow TV -
only simple toys, books, puzzles, and has wonderful wooden
play equipment. Each child has their own room and crib for
taking naps. She takes them on walks and plays with them
in her gorgeous backyard. She feeds them wholesome food
and is incredibly nurturing. Suzy is not only our day care
provider, but has become a life long friend.
We are moving to Palo Alto in Aug. and are heartbroken
that we can't take her with us, but this opens up a spot
for another very fortunate family. Please email me
if you have any questions, but you can
also call her directly at 510.526.8207.

Our wonderful childcare provider, Suzanne Carlone, may have
one or two openings. Suzanne has over thirty years of
experience, and takes no more than four children. This low
provider-child ratio means she can devote a lot of time to
the particular developmental needs of each child. She is
excellent at fostering social skills, language development,
and creative play. No TV or electronic toys — just classic
children’s toys and play structures. There are large spaces
indoors and out for children to play, and each child naps in
a separate room. Our son transitioned easily into her care,
even after a cross-country move, and now doesn’t want to
leave in the afternoon. Past BPN reviews offer high praise
as well, and feel free to contact us for more information
Suzanne’s number is 526-8207

There are openings in an intimate family daycare. Suzanne has more than 30 years experience and is calm, loving, and trustworthy. She keeps the days simple and fun, engaging kids wonderfully - playing, singing, taking them on walks to the local nursery (where the staff know the kids by name).
We looked for 2 mos. for the right situation and knew within 5 min. of watching our 16 mo. old light up with her that she was it. When we switched from our nanny share there were no transition issues. Our daughter starts shouting "Suzie! Suzie!" as I put on her jacket in the morning.
Suzanne is licensed for 6, but keeps it closer to 3-4. She's very knowledgeable about child development and our daughter has blossomed in her care. Her home and yard are incredible, with wooden play equipment both inside and out. Each child has a nap room.
Her references are superb. If you have any questions please call me, or call Suzanne directly 526-8207.

A wonderful (very small and intimate) family day care center in North Berkeley has openings for children around 1-2 years old, for about 30 hours a week. Suzanne has over 30 years experience and is very calm and loving with our daughter. She likes to keep things ''real simple'' and not overwhelm the kids. She has great wooden equipment in her house and in her backyard. Her house and yard is unbelievably clean and well cared for and has great light. Every child has their own room to sleep in for naps. It is a superb environment for children. Our daughter started a couple weeks ago and had no problems transitioning to her care. Her references are outstanding. If you have any questions please feel free to call me, Ramsey, or call Suzanne directly. Contact: Suzanne Carlone, 526-8207
