Del Norte Child Care

My son, who is now almost 4 years old, has been going to Del Norte Child Care since he was 18 months and has really thrived in his time there. He is always happy to go to school, where he's learned to write his letters, name and words and play well with other kids of all ages. He also can understand and speak basic Spanish, which is so great. Every day, I feel good dropping him off, knowing he'll be in a fun and warm environment, where he feels safe and respected.

Lola is incredible. My daughter has learned so much from Lola and Mariana that it's hard to put into a review. She knows Spanish now (my wife and I don't). Lola individualized lessons she gives to help my daughter when she advanced beyond the basic letters and number lesson just to challenge her. Lola even gave us the workbooks she worked from so we know exactly what she does each day. The fact that Lola provides meals is not just convenient, it also expanded her diet at an age when that's nearly impossible at times. My daughter absolutely loved her nearly 3.5 years here and if we have another

My boys were at Del Norte Child Care since my first was about 7 months old. As a first time mom it was challenging finding the right fit but Lola was finally it after trying 2 different providers. He is now 2.5 and has learned SO much and it's such a treat to hear the Spanish he knows as well. My second was there from about 6 months to 1 year. One thing that impressed me was how Lola continually made improvements to both the space and how things were run. She is incredibly nurturing, calm, and patient. We recently left as we have an impending move back to our home state. My boys miss them

Lola is a professional, kind, and experienced childcare provider and teacher to the many children who have been under her care. Our daughter started a Del Norte Daycare when she was a year old and stayed until she was almost 5. During our daughter's time at Del Norte Daycare, Lola was supported by 2 additional teachers, Julia and Mariana. Our appreciation for these woman is far-reaching. Our daughter learned and developed at such an impressive pace under their care. She was coming home singing Spanish songs at 2, writing her name at 3, and now she can write the full alphabet (upper and lowercase

Our daughter went here for two years. It was a fantastic experience. I always felt she was safe and nurtured. The teachers have the perfect temperament for what they do which is so important. It's a small, tight knit environment run (at least when we were there) by just two people. So keep in mind that they need vacation and rest like everyone else; make sure you know the rules and schedule. But each child gets a lot of attention and personal connection, which is wonderful. We eventually moved on to a Montessori preschool when our child was older, but we miss everyone at Del Norte very much

If you are looking for the best care for your child, Del Norte Child Care is it. We knew from our first visit that this is where we wanted our daughter(s) to be. Lola's facility is clean, neat and safe. She provides breakfast, lunch and snacks. (Looking back, that's huge!!)
Our first daughter started with Lola at 7 months and our second started at 4 months. Both went til they were about three and a half. They are now in preschool and TK.
Now as far as Lola is concerned, you couldn't find a more caring, nurturing and loving person than her. All the children love her, and it&apos

My 18-month-old just started here a few months ago and he's been really happy. He is extremely active and gets into everything, and they've been taking such good care of him. When we first visited, all the kids seemed so happy that I could tell it was a place our son would thrive. And they feed them breakfast, lunch and snack, which makes our lives so much easier in the morning when we're trying to get out the door. Highly recommend Del Norte Childcare!

My daughter was with Lola for the last two years. It was wonderful! The only reason we left is because she needs to go to big girl school now. The award Lola received from Contra Costa is well deserved.
Everyday when I would bring in our daughter she would run ahead and give Lola a hug. All the other little kiddos would say hi. They were obviously happy to be there and to see each other.
I love that Lola had breakfast for the kiddos. It made busy work mornings so much easier. Our kiddo liked the food and would eat well while at school.
I also love that Lola is good about teaching the kiddos

I was excited to have my son start at Del Norte Child Care. I waited for an opening for over 3 months after giving a deposit and signing paperwork to hold my spot. I checked in with Lola each month to ensure everything was on track.

The very first day that I went to pick up my son, Lola tells me she can't take care of him anymore due to one of her clients deciding not to leave after all at the last moment. Given how difficult it is to secure childcare in the bay area, I was in a near panic. I had given our previous daycare 1 month's notice of our departure, as per our contract, and

My daughter went to Lola's from about out five months to two years. She was always very well taken care of, and I have experience with two other in-home daycares so I have room for comparison. My daughter always had a clean diaper when I picked her up, and ran smiling to Lola every morning. And although the indoor space isn't the largest out there, it's clean, well maintained, bright, and cheerful with plenty of toys. And the outdoor space is very large, also with lots of toys, and the kids spent a lot of time out there. And what was great was Lola fed the kids breakfast and lunch

Our daughter has been at Del Norte ChildCare for six months, and we couldn't be happier. Dolores (kids call her Lola) and nannies are very caring and plan curriculum each week for the children. Lola created helpful Parent's Info board with a curriculum of infant/toddler activities and a menu for the current week. She is excellent about calling and reporting anything if necessary and gives a summary at the end of the day during pick up.
We also loved that learning Spanish was one of their core enrichment programs. Our daughter started to sing songs we didn't teach her. She was excited

There is a very special place in my heart for Lola. Our daughter started at Del Norte Childcare when she was 4 months old, and continued there until she went to preschool. We still talk about Lola and how much we miss her! It is so hard to choose a caregiver, and we are so lucky that we found Del Norte and the warm and caring environment that Lola provides. Our daughter loved the play area outside and the many toys and learning stuff that Lola has. They also went on outings to the park, which was a total highlight. We did not have any transition issues to preschool, I think because it was

Lola is very warm to kids. My daughter has been with Lola since she was 6 months. Every morning my daughter says "I want to go to Lola" Her place has great backyard with kids' play structure and there is a park nearby for them to take a walk and be out and about. We feel quite lucky to have such a dependable daycare near our home and know my daughter is in a safe and friendly environment all day.

My daughter has been in Dolores care for 3 years and we've been very happy. She is very kind caring and very attentive to every child in her care. She's never have called in sick and been very reliable. My daughter looks forward to going to her house and has learned some Spanish. Her house is clean and safe. It takes a very special person to do what she does.

Hi all!
Dolores ('Lola' to the little ones) is a great daycare provider. Our 2-year-old daughter has been going to Lola full time for over a year and has loved it. Because it is home-based daycare without a large number of children, I feel my daughter gets the one-on-one attention she needs, while still interacting & playing with a few other children. For me, the most important thing for daycare is that the caregiver is warm and loving, which I feel Lola is - the kids will play then run up to Lola for a hug, etc. Also, we have noticed that our daughter has learned many new words
