Dima's Daycare is Fabulous!
Dima's Daycare is a wonderful, stimulating home daycare that both of my kids have attended since they were 6 months old. Dima is extremely caring and has always had our kids' best interest in mind. We are relocating and I HIGHLY recommend her! She is currently looking for a part-time two year-old spot and she will have plenty more two year-old openings in September.

There are openings for big or little kids at Dima's daycare. Our son loves Dima's and we are happy to recommend it. Her hours are 8:30-5:30, and rates are reasonable $55/day. Dima's house is spacious and sunny and she has a gorgeous back yard. My son has really thrived under Dima's loving care. We also like the small number of children and great ratio of care givers to kids. Call Dima directly to arrange a visit. She can pass along my contact information if you want a reference Contact: Dima Birich, 510/548-5568

Our son's wonderful day care provider, Dima Birich, has openings for a couple of children. She can take a 1 year old child part-time and toddlers 1 to 5 days per week. Dima's daycare is a wonderful place for children. Our son plays happily with the other kids, naps well(!) and enjoys Dima's music and gorgeous back yard. We couldn't be happier with her care. Please call me, or Dima directly for more information. Dima's number is 548-5568

If you're looking for a family daycare in Berkeley (Ward and McGee), I highly recommend Dima Birch's daycare. She takes no more than 6 children per day and has a few assistants who help her on a rotating schedule. It is an incredibly warm, and loving place. Dima has a fabulous backyard and a safe, clean, toy-filled home. Her hours are from 8:30 ­ 5:30 (full days only). My son has been with her since he was 1.5 yrs old (he’s 2.9 now) and he loves it there. The trend is to enroll kids in pre-school at 2.5, but we decided to keep our son at Dima’s for an additional year and we’ve been really happy with our decision. If you want more details, give her a call (548-5568).

Dima's Day Care (at Ward and Grant) in Berkeley has an opening for a two-ish year old. My daughter has been there for the last year and is leaving for preschool. It's a wonderful daycare in a lovely home with a beautiful garden. Dima is very intuitive and experienced with this age group (under 3). She takes 6 kids and has an assistant (3:1 ratio). They have a fun and appropriate routine that kids adjust to quickly. Definitely check it out. Contact: Dima, 548-5568

Dima's Daycare in Berkeley has a few openings--I highly recommend you call Dima if you're looking for a small family daycare for infants or toddlers. Dima and her assistant Laura treat kids as individuals; they're great about searching for what works for each kid, from eating and sleeping to saying goodbye. My son has learned so much there--from painting to some really great social skills. They play music, read lots, and take the kids on outings to the library and to parks. It's always joyful at Dima's. Feel free to email me if you'd like more information, or call Dima directly. Contact: Dima Birich, 510.548.5568

My daughter has been with Dima Birich's home based daycare for about 6 months now, and she loves it! Dima and her assistant Laura are loving and attentive. Their sweet dispositions rub off on the kids who I often see hugging each other and who always seem to get along.

The kids are usually involved in a cool project - baking, crafts, trips to the library or the farmers market, but they have plenty of time to just play too. Dima only takes 6 kids at a time. Legally, she doesn't have to have an assistant, but Laura is great, and 2 adults insures the one-on-one attention that I want my daughter to have.

Snacks are nutritions, and they are open to cloth or disposable diapers. The kids are diverse racially, and range from babies to 3 years old. The age range is a plus for my daughter who is 14 months and loves watching (and copying) the older kids.

Give Dima a call while she still has some space, or contact me if you want to talk. Contact: Dima Birich, 510/548-5568
