The Little Red Wagon in El Cerrito is a pure gem! I've done an extensive research before enrolling my then 16 month old baby who had never been with a babysitter or in a daycare setting. After touring about 10-12 places, I chose LRW based on the following reasons, and am very happy that I have done so.

1) LRW was by far the cleanest facility I could find - they even have ''no shoes indoor'' policy which I really liked; 2) they do not require specific time commitment, although many other daycares/preschools I toured required minimum 1 year commitment; 3) highly flexible (they charge per hour) and are excellent at accommodating our family's needs (from part-time to full-time, and of course, something in the middle too!); 4) their toys are fairly new, the interior is attractive, and the property is always well maintained; 5) according to my research, they were the one and only daycare that understands the importance of protective sun care; 6) and the best of all, the teachers are wonderful! They have so much love for children, and are attentive to individual child's needs.

Re: Affordable preschool in Albany or El Cerrito?
I believe Little Red Wagon in El Cerrito has part time availability. (www.thelittleredwagon.net) I can highly recommend the new teacher who will be starting the new preschool room at Little Red Wagon daycare in El Cerrito. I haven't been to the school site itself, so I can only speak to Tew (pronounced Tay-u) - she is magic! Both my son and daughter have loved her. She is an exceptional preschool teacher who engages the kids in all sorts of wonderful explorations of the world around them. I only wish Little Red Wagon was not so far away or we would follow her there, but what good luck for anyone living in El Cerrito or Albany. If you want to know any more about Tew as a care provider feel free to email me, I would be happy to share all the lovely things about this very special teacher. Natalie
