Kuumba Dayare

Our 2 children (ages 8 months and 22 months) have been at Kuumba since Jan 2013, and we have been exceptionally happy with the care they provide. Kiana truly loves our kids, and is an important part of their lives. They do a variety of activities: painting, drawing, field trips to the library and other places, and LOTs of circle time with reading and songs. Kiana draws on the 30+ years of daycare experience of her mother, and opens her home and heart to welcome our kids each day. Rates are the most affordable you will find for such a high level of care in this neighborhood (North Oakland/​S. Berkeley), and we plan to keep our kids here until preschool. We highly recommend this daycare! I would also add that Kiana is VERY flexible and offers part-​time care. Currently our youngest is picked up at 1:30, which works better for our schedules and she has been very easy to work with even when we need to change that for the upcoming month.
