Low-cost Alameda daycare/preschool help
Hi parents,
I have a strong willed toddler who will be almost 2.5yrs when our new baby is born (February 2022). My toddler hasn’t been in daycare or anything so this will be a huge adjustment. Does anyone know of a daycare/preschool set up that’s low cost? We are on one income. I know co-ops are amazing but I can’t commit to being available once a week with a new baby. My partner works long hours, 6 days a week and I have no family around so I’m pretty much on my own.
Thanks!

My daughter went to ABC Preschool at Bay Street, behind Mastick Senior Center. Unfortunately, we no longer attend as we moved, but the school was great, and I highly recommend it. To my knowledge, this is the cheapest preschool on the island.
Hi there,
Congratulations on your second one coming your way!
My kids are attending LePetitZ in city of Alameda and they love it. It is reasonable in terms of cost. $1450 for full time enrollment, but Miss Susie has other options in place such as three days per week, or part-time attendance.
Best of luck,
Iuliana
Parks and Rec in Alameda has preschool for ages 3-5. Your toddler may be a little young, but wouldn't hurt to plan ahead for when he or she turns 3!
