Model School in Berkeley -- any recent experiences?

Hello!

We are looking at Model School in Berkeley as a potential daycare for our daughter.

The reviews we have seen on BPN and Yelp are generally very positive but not terribly recent. The reviews also seem to indicate the presence of a "very active parents group" and facilities that are potentially in need of some updating. 

If you have a recent experience or child enrolled there, or have even thought about it carefully as an option recently, we would love to hear your thoughts or experiences.

Not sure what age your daughter is, but my child has been attending the Model School infant room since the spring and loves it. The teachers are very caring and attentive, and the classroom is clean and organized. The older kids' classrooms are Montessori-inspired and it seems like they are given ample outdoor time. There is a parent leadership group, which hosts monthly parent meetings with the executive director. It's true that the facilities could use some updating, but that was not a deal-breaker for us. I believe the website lists the dates of when tours are offered.
