Looking for daycare recommendation in NOBE

We have 15 mo old and want to put them in daycare in the next 6 months. Looking for recommendation around Emeryville, North Oakland or South Berkeley.

Specifically thinking about Emeryville Child Development Center. If any parent has recent experience, please provide feedback.

Thank you!

Emeryville Child Development Center is awesome!  My daughter attended from when she was one to five, until last summer.  The staff are caring, knowledgable, and do a lot of fun projects.  It's stimulating while being age-appropriate in what's expected from the kids.  They also have ties to the Emeryville school and community so you'll hear about a lot of fun activities outside daycare.

In our experience they aren't proactive about going through their waitlist, so the best way to get in is to show a lot of interest--call them regularly, take a tour, etc.  Their school year starts in August, I think?  That's when the most new kids would start, though new kids also joined throughout the year.
