I want to highly recommend Sunshine daycare in South Berkeley. It is a licensed family daycare that opened early this year, run by mother and daughter, both with many years of experience in working with children. And that is definitely a gift of theirs: both have a natural affinity for children, and a genuine interest in their emerging personalities. And they are lots of fun too. My daughter loves the place and so do I.
Beautiful space with large outdoors, affordable, homemade food, safe, clean and above all, very loving. Activities include art, gardening, dancing, reading, and outside play (there will soon be a sandbox in the backyard). The mother is speaking Spanish to the kids.
They currently have three infants at 6, 13 and 16 months, and are looking now for kids 2 years and older (there will be a maximum of 8 kids). Open from 7.30 am-5.30 pm 5 days/week, .

I'm writing in recommendation of Sunshine Daycare. My 19-month old daughter has been attending since November 2005, when Alex first opened her small family daycare. Alex has twenty years of experience working in preschools, plus all the basics (CPR, First aid, safe and clean space, loves children, etc.). Sunshine Daycare has been great for my daughter; it's sort of in-between a family daycare and a preschool. She gets lots of personal attention (up until this point, there has been a 4:1 ratio--this may shift if Alex gets older children), and yet there is some structure to her day (indoor/outdoor time, snacks and lunch, naptime). Alex also writes up daily reports for us, so we get detailed info about the day's events. On most days, we all go for a walk to the park after school. Feel free to call Alex (510) 965-0510 or email me if you have any questions.
