When Your Child Is Ill

Please keep your child home when they are sick or unable to comfortably participate in the school day. Any contagious illness should be reported to a staff member as soon as possible.

Children should remain home if they have a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. If you are unsure whether your child should attend, please contact the school before bringing them in.

Help paying for child care

Child care in the Bay Area is expensive, and plenty of families who assume they earn too much to qualify are wrong about that. Three places to start, all free:

BANANAS

The child care resource and referral agency for this part of Alameda County. They help Oakland families find child care and work out whether they qualify for a subsidy, and they do it as a matter of routine.

4Cs of Alameda County

4Cs helps Alameda County families find child care and apply for programs that can cover part or all of the cost. Its Oakland office assists Oakland residents with child care payment programs.
