Jai's family daycare has openings for infant up to 4 years. She has over 20 years of experiences. We are very happy with her and my daughter loves her very much. She's like an extended family to us. She really cares about the kids and emphases a lot on social skills. Jai is the kind of person you meet and feel completely confident and at peace leaving your child with. I highly recommend her.

I cannot say enough good things about Jai. She has over 20
years of experience and has been a godsend to me, a busy mom
with no relatives in the area. She took care of my son from
6 months to 3.5 years old, until he started pre-school and
she is now taking care of my 13 month old daughter. She
takes excellent care of the kids, is very reliable and
energetic. The kids loved her. She is hardly ever sick and
takes little vacation (perfect for working parents) and is
licensed. She is also willing to take care of the kids in
the evenings or weekends if you have an engagement or want
to have dinner with your spouse. She does this only for the
kids in her daycare and their siblings. We are moving out of
State in August so unfortunately we’ll have to leave her but
we are really going to miss her! She has become part of our
family.

I would like to recommend Jai Osatharom’s Daycare which currently has openings. Both of our boys went to Jai’s. One started at 14 months and the other at 6 months and were under her care until they were ready to start preschool. Her apartment is very homey and filled with toys. She also has an outdoor play area. She puts a lot of emphasis on using their words and being polite. There is just enough structure; such as being responsible for their shoes and backpack and putting toys away when they’re done with them. One of her goals is to prepare your child for preschool and she definitely helped our children with this milestone. Even though our kids are in preschool, they happily return during school breaks. We are very fortunate to have had her be such a big part of our kid’s early development. Caitlin & Chris Contact: Jai Osathrom, 510-526-8679
My friend, Jai does home-based childcare business for more
than 15 years and she has some openings for
infants/toddlers. My children went there until they
''graduated''. She is extremely responsible. I always had
peace in mind when my kids were there. She is originally
from Thailand and her English is very good. If you have any
questions, call her or email me.

My son whent to Jai for one wonderful year. Most of the
children (4-6 or 7 children at a time, Ages 1-4yrs old)
whom she cares for are siblings of children who have been
in her care in the past. If your child thrives in an
intimate womby setting, Jai (pronounced ''jay'') is the
caregiver for you. She does have a Thai accent, but it
does not seem to get in the way.
She puts a huge amount of emphases into social skills,
empowereing children to use their words,ask for help, say
please/sorry/thank you...and ask with words for what they
want. Her fee is $150/wk, 7-6pm

Jai’s family daycare has an opening and I would like to
recommend her. I cannot say enough good things about Jai. She
has over 20 years of experience and was a godsend to
me, a busy mom with no relatives in the area. Jai works from
her modest 2 bedroom apartment near “El Cerrito Plaza” Bart
station, but most of the place is dedicated to the kids
with lots of toys and activities for them. She also has an
outside play area. My son has been under Jai’s care since
he was 6 months old and she’s been great. She takes very
good care of the kids; she’s very reliable, energetic, gets
down on the floor with them and knows every kid by heart.
She remembers everybody’s birthdays and has a gift for the
birthday child. I really feel that she loves the kids and
thinks of them as part of the family, not as her job. My
son is over 3 now and starting preschool. We are really
going to miss her! Liliana

My friend, Jai, is looking for children in between infant
and pre-K ages. She has been operating this business more
than 15 years and very experienced. She is one of the most
responsible persons I have ever seen. Both of my children
went there and they still want to go sometimes. I think her
rate is $30 for a full day and $15 for a half day if there
is no change. ( PLEASE double-check the price with her.) She
is originally from Thailand and her English is pretty good.
If you are interested, please call her. Or if you would like
to know specific questions as a parent, you can email me. Rie

My two-year-old daughter's excellent family daycare provider in El
Cerrito has an opening for two children between the ages of one and
three in her home. She does both full and part time day care. My
daughter has been in Jai's care now for a year and a half, and I have
only good things to say about the type of setting my child is in.
Although Jai (pronounced "Jay") lives in a modest two-bedroom apartment,
it is clean, has a nice outdoor play area, and, most of all, the
children she watches have become a loving little family. Jai makes many
homemade meals, and her daughter Lyn helps with childcare when she comes
home from high school each afternoon. The kids are crazy about Lynnie.
Many of the children Jai watches have been in her care for years, and
some of them, now in elementary school, return for after school care. If
you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me. Jai Osatharom's home
phone is 526-8679.
