My two sons (ages 3 and 1) have been going to Pattycake's since they were each 3 months old. Patty is a very patient and dedicated caretaker, and our boys usually behave better for her than they do for us! Patty has always been incredibly dependable, requesting only 1 (non-holiday) day off in the 3 years we've been with her. She's also very flexible and has never charged us a late-pickup fee like other places do -- and it's easy to be late considering Bay Area traffic! Anyone would be lucky to have her as their day care provider.
