Our daughter’s daycare in the Richmond Annex has an opening for Fall 2018. Our daughter has been at Melissa Fuller’s daycare for the past year and half (since she was five months old) and we are very happy to have found her! Melissa’s house is our daughter’s home away from home. As first time parents, we didn’t know what to expect leaving our child while we went to work and it ended up being a wonderful, smooth transition. Melissa has a great house with an awesome yard. She makes all the meals and snacks and the children (and parents too) love her!

You can reach Melissa at: 510-375-9885

We want to recommend our in-home daycare in the Richmond Annex, run by Melissa Fuller. Her daycare is licensed, small (3-4 kids for the past year) and extremely affordable. Melissa is wonderful about keeping the kids to a schedule involving healthy meals (which she provides), outdoor and indoor play, and naps. Our daughter has been with her from 16 months to 2+ years, but Melissa handles a wide range of ages.

Looking for an affordable, OUTSTANDING, small childcare where your infant or toddler will receive lots of love and personal attention? I must have interviewed 20 different providers to find a personal, home-like childcare situation until I finally met Melissa Fuller. I was totally impressed by her and immediately trusted and respected her. Since then, she has taken wonderful care of our son and daughter at her home. They love going to her house and have no problem saying goodbye as I run off to work. Melissa always seems to be so positive, gentle, and understanding with the children no matter how challenging their behavior gets. As a former preschool teacher, she nurtures their development with books, art, and play in a TV-free environment. She has great clean indoor and outdoor play spaces and provides healthy food for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Our kids are going to preschool in the fall, so Melissa has openings for September. She takes only a handful of kids and will definitely fill up fast. So call her now if you are in search of a great childcare provider.

Our daughter has been at our daycare since the age of 5 months and is only leaving because it's time for preschool. Melissa Fuller is amazing, has her masters in childcare development and is basically our child's second mommy. She makes healthy food for the kids, has a great house and yard and the kids never want to leave. Melissa's number is 510-932-3545 and please contact me if you have any other questions. You will never feel like you are just leaving your child at a babysitter's, Melissa sings, dances and provides age appropriate activities. shawna

Our daycare provider has openings for a toddler and an infant. Her name is Melissa Fuller and has provided daycare for our daughter since she was 5 months old and she is now 2. Melissa is amazing, provides super healthy meals and snacks, her home is dedicated to play and the kids adore her. We never went through separation anxiety, our daughter cant' wait to get there in the morning and doesnt' want to leave at the end of the day. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. Her phone is 510-932-3545
