Albany Preschool is a play-based parent cooperative for children aged 2 years 9 months to 5. (Priority is given to children who are 3 years old by Sept. 1.)  We are now accepting applications for both morning and afternoon programs for the 2013-14 school year.  Come see our preschool (now in its 75th year!) and meet other families at our Open House at 850 Masonic, Albany, on Saturday, January 12, from 10:00-12:00. Bring the whole family to mingle over refreshments, participate in winter play activities, and see preschool at its best.  Priority enrollment deadline is January 26.


 


Tours are available throughout the year; you are welcome to bring your prospective preschooler with you on the tour..  Please call Ewa Maris at (415) 676-0633 or email tours@albanypreschool.org to schedule a tour.


 


Albany Preschool is a place where kids play, learn and love school. Parents and teachers work together to create a nurturing community of friends.  Children play, cook, garden, enjoy music, are read to, sing, and more, under the care of our experienced teachers and a rotating group of parents.  The school consists of an open, spacious, sunny building with two play yards.  One features a climbing structure with monkey bars and a slide, the other contains a playhouse, swings, garden, sand and water play areas.


 


Albany Preschool is a parent cooperative offering a Morning Program with parent classroom participation, an Afternoon Program program without parent classroom participation, and a Summer Program. Albany Preschool welcomes families from all races, religions, and backgrounds.  Children must be toilet-trained at the time of admission.  See http://albanypreschool.org for more information.

Congratulations, Carla. The article failed to mention what a great neighbor you are.

@Dover: The parent birds didn't look like doves. They were the commonly seen dull-yellowish birds.Read More Smaller than a pigeon but larger than a sparrow. Robins? I can't tell for sure. We checked the abandoned nest. To my eyes, it was well built, and stably setup between grape branches. It didn't capsize. The dead baby birds were found at least 5 feet away from the ground right beneath the nest. Something must have got them out of the nest and killed them. We didn't look at the corpses in detail to decide the cause of death though.

@Ross: I was wondering that too. It could be the squirrels, which were very active in my backyardRead More and the neighborhood. They still are very active.
Dover May 20, 2013 at 09:31 am
I agree with Ross. A predator would have eaten those yummy, tender, tasty baby birds. It soundsRead More more like a case of incompetent nest construction to me. Were they doves? Doves are well-known for their inability to build proper nests but there are others who struggle too. Instinct and ability do not always travel hand-in-hand. Not much you can do about that, unfortunately. Some creatures are incompetent. Some people are incompetent. That's life.
Debris collection now at 10 days

Got thru to the City Inspector (twice) and he finally called the contractor, who (at the end of dayRead More 12 of trash build up) moved the debris pile away. Albany Planning Commission meeting is 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at 7:30 pm and I'm hoping local homeowners will take time to address this and other CV issues.
Dover May 20, 2013 at 09:40 am
Hey! Cool! Now I know where to dump my unwanted items! ;-) Seriously though, "the city"Read More is not helpless, "the city" is lazy and sometimes you have to kick them in the ass to get them moving. What have you tries thus far? I assume you have communicated with the CV owner or contractor. What else have you done?
Ann Farmer May 19, 2013 at 06:22 pm
This is not only an eyesore. This is a health hazard. The boards you see in the photo have nailsRead More sticking out. This area has become the trash heap for anyone walking by wanting to dispose of garbage. With bins overflowing, trash is blown down the street into residents' yards.

Another example of more balanced reporting from Berkeleyside article:Read More http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/05/17/uc-berkeley-seeks-funds-to-cut-down-22000-non-native-trees/. Some of the comments are useful especially about glyphosphate. The author of the article even used his own name.

The source cited in this announcement states up to 1,400 gallons of herbicide possibly includingRead More Roundup might be used rather than 14,000 gallons of Roundup will be used. Not that I am in favor of dosing the environment with petrochemicals, but I do like to make decisions based on facts. I also have to wonder about the accuracy of the source given that it is an opinion piece rather than an article.

And now for the more balanced reporting: "But U.C. Berkeley wants to remove most of its 22,000Read More eucalyptus and acacia trees, then restore native species like they did in the Claremont Canyon." From this article: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/east_bay&id=9107025
