Both of my boys ( 9 mos and 3 years) attend the same smallish in home daycare in the El Cerrito hills. Their They both love it! Leila the owner, and her assistant Lupita, are warm, loving individuals who take good care of the kids. She has a very nice, clean set-up and takes the kids to the park as well as has them play on her patio and back-yard. Only caveat: She does sometimes take unscheduled vacations (can be up to a month) but has arranged help for Lupita in order to stay open for the parents. Contact: Leila Mehr, 510-233-8475

My 10 month old daughter has been attending Leila's Home Daycare for the last 7 months. Leila and her mom provide an attentive, nurturing and loving environment out of their home. She currently has an opening for another infant/toddler. My daughter had a hard time transitioning to child care (yes, even at 3 months) but Leila didn't give up on her and I know I made the right decision when I see my daughter's face light up when I drop her off.

I highly recommend Leila's Day Care in the El Cerrito Hills. I have had my 16 month old son with Leila for over 6 months and am thrilled with the quality of care. Leila only takes up to 4 kids and her lovely mother helps her - so the kids get lots of love, nurture and individual attention. Leila has a very nice home in the hills with plenty of room for the kids to play. She currently has an opening for another child. Leila's number is listed below but please feel free to call or e-mail me if you wish - Carrie
