Looking to move from SF, where to start: Need preschools, TK, and reasonable rentals
We are looking to move to Marin with a current 2 & 5 year old and I am overwhelmed at the thought of looking for a good, full-time preschool and then a TK for a our current 2 year old.
Is there a working spread sheet on Marin Mommies with this information, or a good place to go for this info?
Hi citymom
i just replied one post at FORUM/preschool childcare at this same instant! im going to copy and past it here
Hope it can help you, but would be easier if you give more detailed information, like where you are going (city/neighborhood).
HI Sarah, by looking the date of your post, seems that it came just after my last one, when I visited this site on Oct. 15.
I can't imagine how busy you are with your 2 little ones + moving out to another area...Anyway, I would like to let you know that YES we are accepting infants and toddlers at this time.
I'll attach couple referrals so you can feel a little bit more about me before we get connected. Also, you can get some more ref. at YELP.
Thank you, and take it easy.
Karina
P.S.: Best way to connect with me is through email: tiakarinashouse@gmail.com
Please, understand that due to the nature of my job safety is the number one issue, so I don't get online, or phone very often. Plus I'm mother of 3 myself (all going to Dixie District- the one your house belongs to- public middle and elementary schools), so I also do my best to be with them after hours. This said, I do struggle somehow to get back to my inquiries. I hope you understand if I don't get back to you right alway. Please, I really hope you (and all parents) can understand that and be sensitive to it!

Karina and Rosa are the best thing that could have happened to our family! we moved to Terra Linda in July when my children were 19 months and 2 months old. Not knowing anyone in the neighborhood, and anxious about finding a family daycare that would take both baby and toddler, I did an intensive search in the area, spoke to other moms, called tons of places... and found exactly what I was looking for here! Karina is professional, yet warm; she follows the Montessori method and is very honest and to the point - you can tell that she really cares for the kids, and has plenty of experience for being a Montessori teacher for a long time and having 3 children of her own.
And then there's Rosa, her assistant. Rosa is a super sweet girl and she loves the tiny ones. My now 5 month old is totally spoiled by her! I also know that my toddler is getting plenty of stimulation, playing outside with the other kids in Karina's awesome backyard, and loves going to 'school'. We feel blessed to have found them and plan on keeping our kids there for as long as we can!
