Looking for a daycare in Albany? This daycare has fantastic caregivers who bring warm and loving environment. The daycare offers the good quality Spanish and art program. At the end of each week my three years daughter brings home drawings, painting, and mixed media projects. A month ago, the teachers prepared a lovely show with children. The children sang songs and danced with two musicians: the drummer and the guitarist. We had a great time, and great opportunity to see how much fun our children had. I know that this daycare will soon have an opening. Hurry up! If you need more information email Roxana at roxanaferreirar@sbcglobal.net

Roxanna is a wonderful, liscenced (up to six children) daycare provider who works out of her home. She speaks Spanish and English, and does lots of wonderful activities with the children--artwork, walking to the Albany library, going to parks, playing, cooking, etc. She is an excellent childcare provider and has lots of experience taking care of children in her home and also at a pre-school where she works part-time (Garden Day Montessor). I cannot recommend her enough. She is warm, loving and very creative. She is looking for 3-4 additional kids on a regular basis. She also provides a delicious, warm lunch for the kids!

I would like to recommend a family day care in North Berkeley that has current openings.
The care is available from 8-5 Monday to Friday for children age 2 and up. Roxana, the main care provider is VERY loving and warm. She has experience teaching in a pre-school and provides wonderful, healthy breakfasts, lunches and snacks which she prepares for the kids.
Activities include arts and crafts, walks to the library and local playgrounds, lots of reading, and there is a great big backyard with lots of toys. Roxana also speaks some Spanish with the children, and focuses on learning through play.
My son is in a Montessori school where she has taught, and he attended her program over the summer and we and he loved it.

Roxana's family daycare is called Wawawazi, from a Quechua word for baby. Roxana is a warm, fun, enthusiastic wonderful childcare provider with a homecare license and experience as a pre-school teacher. My now Kindergarten son still asks to go visit her every week! She takes children from age 2 to 6. Her home is comfortable with a large back yard with fruit trees and playhouses. She offes yummy home-cooked nutritious meals and lots of love and fun. She has openings now. Contact: Roxana Ferreira, roxanaferreirar at sbcglobal.net 510-526-1396

Roxana just got her license, but is not new to caring for children. She has been a substitute teacher at my daughter's preschool, and has cared for her a couple of days/week over summer break. She is the mother of two (ages 2 and 6?) and speaks English and Spanish.

Roxana takes children ages 2 and up. She prepares good food for the children and interviews each parent about what food they want for their children and what TV/videos, if any, are ok for them to watch, i.e. a parent might say PBS material only, or no video. (I think she said 30 minute max video time a day regardless of parent criteria.)

My daughter loves to go to Roxana's house, which has a large back yard with lots of interesting play areas. They also visit local parks and other places of interest, and do art and food projects and play games.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions about my experience as a parent. Mary
