Blues Skies For Children

This school is heaven on Earth for little kids. The teachers are wonderful, the space is very well designed. They are really in it for the kids!!

Best daycare and preschool in Oakland! I really feel like the teachers truly care for my children. The community of parents is also very supportive.

They are simply better than the other options. All of their decisions are deliberate and thoughtful. The staff is highly trained. I am grateful to have found such wonderful people to leave our infant son with. He is thriving there.

Blue Skies for Children is the best day care option we could find for our infant daughter. We were lucky to get in as they have a very high teacher to baby ratio. All the staff is highly trained and knowledgable. I have learned a lot just from them. About 40% of the day care staff have BAs or MAs.

Each section of Blue Skies is modeled to be age appropriate with toys and surroundings chosen specifically to match the kids development. The infant day care is carpeted and includes low mattresses, small rails for the more advanced babies to pull themselves up by, and rocking chairs for visiting moms to breastfeed their babies at drop off. They will store EBM for babies that aren't weaned, serve warm formula and best of all, snacks and meals are comprised of freshly prepared organic meals. They will diaper babies in cloth diapers or disposables from the baby's home.

The teachers are always in a good mood, which I am amazed by. The family community is fostered by reading groups, parenting classes, counseling, small parties and picnics, as well as volunteer options.

The day care options are flexible from 9am to 3:30pm Mon - Thr up to 7:30am to 6:00pm Mon - Fri.

It's also a great opportunity for the kids and babies. Our child's development made a noticeable jump after she was transitioned in to the day care. Being around all the other babies and kids certainly inspired her!

Whenever I drop our daughter off there are kids running around outside playing and having fun under the watchful and caring supervision of the day care teachers. They have indoor facilities and awning spaces for rainy days.
