I had a wonderful experience with Cheburashka Day Care. Both of my daughters attended for several years, starting as infants. They are now both very healthy and very well adjusted socially, which I partly attribute to Vicky's commitment to the kids' development. My kids were always good eaters, but I know several parents were concerned about their child's eating habits and growth, and Vicky very consistently turned them into well-fed happy eaters. Most of the food is organic, from the daily scrambled eggs and potatoes breakfast,to the the wonderful soups that she cooks fresh daily. I was very happy with how both children gained confidence in dealing with other kids, many of whom are international and from multilingual homes. There is plenty of outdoor play in the yard and trips to the park. Staffing is typically 1:3 or better. Vicky and her workers are all bilingual Russian, so this is a great place especially if you want your child to learn Russian, or at least be exposed to it. You can reach Vicky at(510)287-6873

Our son thrived at Cheburashka home daycare located in North Berkeley, just a few blocks from the North Berkeley Bart station. The care providers are very kind and made our son feel like a part of the family from day one. Not only was he well cared for, he was fed well (organic foods), potty trained and learned how to speak Russian. You can reach them at: vscott@emf.net. Good luck with your search! Jen
