Child's Playce offers a small group experience for children ages birth to 3 years. We provide an age appropriate learning environment that encourages all children to explore their interests in a safe, calm and nurturing home that is filled with quality, engaging materials. Provide a nurturing and engaging environment both inside and out that is warm, welcoming and safe.
Recognize and appreciate the unique personality and temperament of each and every child in our care. My husband and I are both elementary school teachers and were very particular about where to send our baby girl. We spent an entire month of our summer (after our daughter was born) interviewing and visiting daycare providers in Marin.

Our son attended Child’s Playce for about 2 years and he absolutely loved it! We always felt so reassured that he was in the best of hands with Dana. We wish he could still be in her daycare and were sad to see her go. He is now ready for preschool and we credit so much of his ease of transition to Dana. You will love this daycare and her!

As a new mom I was not only paranoid but very cautious about the daycare I chose for my son. Dana was the best decision we ever made for our family! She is nurturing, loving, kind, and so knowledgeable when it comes to raising children. Dana is not just a daycare provider but the most warm and caring human being that you could want your child to be around if it’s not you. I have learned so much about being a mom and a parent and children from Dana. My son has created friendships that will last a lifetime and so have I. Dana came referred to me through three different families randomly and I would

You will not find a more nurturing, loving, and safe environment for your little one. I was worried sick about returning to work for the last several weeks of my maternity leave and wondered how both myself and my 4 month old baby boy would adjust to the change.
Dana has been there for both of us, making our next chapter together smooth and stress free. Needless to say, after only a few days, Dana had our baby on a feeding/napping schedule which has made our home life so much easier.
Our baby boy lights up with a giant smile when we arrive at her home and is bewildered when we have to leave because

Dana is wonderful. She immediately got my son into a napping schedule, which we'd struggled with prior to Child's Playce but now maintain consistently. During the day the kids would play music, finger paint, and have lots of outdoor time. I also loved the Tadpoles online portal which centralized communications (messages, photos, daily reports) makimg things very easy and convienent.

I'm a super discerning mother and did a ton of research before selecting Dana's practice - Child's Playce. She is head and shoulders above all of the other providers I had interviewed (and I interviewed A TON). I had to return to work when my first child was only 3 months old. Dana was incredibly proactive, supportive, knowledgable, and went above and beyond to make me comfortable and create a loving, caring, and inspiring environment for my baby. Due to her professionalism, there was no question where I would send my second child. She was wonderful with my kids, and terrific with

Dana throws the kids in the back of her car to do errands regularly.
You will drop your child off at 8 a.m. and she will have all of the kids in the Suburban by 8:30, taking her kids to school and doing what she needs to get done! Not recommended! She apologized to us when we found out that she was driving our daughter around and then under oath in court told the judge that we knew she was driving the kids around as she did her errands. My wife went to pick our daughter up and Dana was not at the daycare. She also was not answering her cell. My wife was beyond worried that an emergency happened
