Full time preschools enrolling now for 2023 - 2024?

Hi, I'm looking to enroll my 3 year old in preschool for the 2023 - 2024 school year. I'm afraid we're applying a bit late (we had some personal changes and just found out he needed care next year recently). I've checked the listing on BPN, but I wanted to see if anyone knew of any preschools accepting 3 years olds for 2023 - 2024, that they recommend? We live in North Oakland and are looking for a full time M - F program. Thanks in advance for the help!

Guidepost Montessori in Emeryville is pretty close to North Oakland and accepts on a rolling basis. My 3 yr old is currently enrolled full time.

For all day childcare, try Temple Sinai Preschool on 28th and Webster.  Excellent preschool. My kids did well there.

Hello! We love our preschool, Rockridge Little School, on College Ave. Our director, Cindy, confirmed that they are still accepting applications and have openings for the Fall. The application is on the school's website, and Cindy is very helpful if you were to contact her directly. I'm also happy to share more about our experience (our son will be graduating from RLS this summer, and our daughter is enrolled for the Fall) - feel free to reach out and good luck!

EBI on Alcatraz is definitely still enrolling. We are currently there and applied in late February 2022.

OUSD has a pre school program

Little Beans Preschool in Berkeley is great.  They don't tend to fill up as fast as some of the bigger names so its definitely worth calling or emailing to see if they have a spot (the website says they're currently enrolling: https://www.littlebeanspreschool.com/index.html).  Hours are M-F, 8-5:30

We absolutely LOVE Little Beans Preschool.  It's in Berkeley on Acton & Addison.  We joined in August and my daughter has thrived.  Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat more.
