Several openings are available this fall at Raziea's wonderful home-based daycare. A number of older kids are ''graduating'' and since the daycare just moved from Albany to El Cerrito, lots of folks are not aware of it. They're licensed for up to 12 children, and they focus on ages 15 months to 3 1/2 years. The care is in Raziea's home, with two caregivers, Raziea and her cousin Mary (and sometimes an additional assistant). Raziea and Mary are warm, fun, knowledgeable and very conscientious. They keep the premises clean and organized, and work hard to teach the kids how to get along with each other. They do lots of singing, reading, imaginary play, and outside fun and games; they also provide a healthy lunch and snacks. The preschool is located just north of the El Cerrito high school, on Pomona. My 23-month-old son has been with Raziea's for 9 months; if you'd like to hear more from a parent, you can email me.

My daughter has been at Raziea's daycare for a year and is, sadly, soon to leave for preschool. If you are looking for a warm, caring, clean, and fun environment for your 2 or 3 year old, please call Raziea at 525-4149. She has been a tremendous influence in helping my daughter develop into a considerate, confident and happy child. Contact: Raziea, 510-525-4149

Raziea's Home Daycare has several openings for toddlers age 2 and older. Raziea and her sister and cousin take care of up to 12 infants and toddlers in Raziea's home on Marin at the corner of Evelyn. They offer excellent care, nutritious home-cooked food, and lots of indoor and outdoor activities. My daughter has been at Raziea's for a year and has thrived in this nurturing environment. She has made many new friends and when I pick her up at the end of the day, it is obvious that she has enjoyed herself. For more information on this wonderful place, please call Raziea at 525-4149.

I would like to recommend Raziea's Daycare on Marin Ave. in Albany (at 510 525-4149). My daughter has been there for two years and will soon be leaving for preschool. There are openings for two year olds currently and she also takes infants when there's space. Raziea is caring, responsible, and committed to on-going learning about early childhood. Her bright, cheerful home, where the daycare is located, reflects the pride she takes in her work. She runs it with the help of her sister and cousin (also wonderful), so that there is absolute stability of the staff. My daughter, who was not an easy infant or two-year old, truly blossomed there, acquiring self-confidence and learning much about sharing and caring. Feel free to contact me with questions. Jessica
