Looking for daycare in Alameda or Oakland near Coast Guard Island
Hello,
I commute to Coast Guard Island in Alameda and am looking for a daycare or other childcare arrangement when I return to work in July for my daughter who will be 6 months. It seems that most daycares have waitlists but maybe there is a in-home daycare option. Since I do not live nearby, I need a place that I can drop her. Ideally full time, 4 days a week, and within a 10 minute drive from Coast Guard Island.
Thank you,
Maya

There are lots of daycares in Alameda, and many of them are great. You don't mention where you live but unless you live on the island, I would strongly suggest trying to find something in Oakland due to Alameda's ever increasing morning commute traffic off the island. (Think way too many people for 3 bridges and 1 tunnel.). I'm not sure I would want endure that traffic crunch for a simple morning drop-off, when I could otherwise avoid it by finding a suitable place in Oakland, and when I'm pressed to get to work on time.
I believe Coast Guard Island has a child care on site. Or perhaps it is just for enlisted personnel?
Neri Alarcon is on the Oakland side near Coastguard Island 510-434-1942. She is wonderful.
