I need to start the hunt for east bay pre-schools. We are in the middle of the relocation process - but I think we're shooting for Walnut Creek or that vicinity. Makena will turn 3 in March. A small class size without a lot of transition in teachers would be ideal - she takes a while to warm up to people and she's a little shy. She is amazing at picking up languages, so a bi-lingual, multi-lingual environment would be fantastic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Fri, November 9, 2007 - 9:51 PMThe Pleasant Hill / Walnut Creek Mothers' Club will be having a Preschool Fair on Saturday January 12, 2008 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Pleasant Hill Recreation Center. You can contact Anel Muterspaugh for more info at momsclubcodirectors@gmail.com
The Mothers' club and the Berkley Parenting Network have been great for me and helped me find an amazing daycare for my 1 1/2 year old daughter.
Good luck!

Exceedingly wonderful curriculum, environment, environmental balance and reputation. Nature walks for the older children, private gardens on grounds and quite secure. -

Yeah... but it costs MORE than UC Berkeley! -

Re: east bay pre-schools
Sat, December 15, 2007 - 7:57 PMthat reminds me, i'm on a budget. i'm not going to settle and send my daughter somewhere hazardous (not that we can ever be 100% certain as to how safe it really is), but at the same time I'm thinking ymca/kinder care price range. I'd love to be able to afford montessori, but I will need to make rent, eat & pay child support for my son that stays with his Dad.

Sun, December 16, 2007 - 3:12 PMAwwww, it doesn't cost THAT much, lol. Okay, it's not cheap, but even when we were there and on a budget, the tax deduction for education (slash) childcare was worth it for us. It's nice to take off that 5 grand a year on the tax sheet!
Best of luck finding something you're happy with! :)
