Academia de Mi Abuela is a Spanish/English-dual, cultural, immersion daycare and preschool located in the community of Montclair and serving the city of Oakland. The school strives to serve Oakland families with integrity and love in a home-like, and multicultural environment where all communities are valued. AMA exists due to a shortage of childcare services in the bay area, providing affordable and high-quality language immersion childcare for Oakland families including under-served Oakland communities. The school creates jobs for local residents and mentors youth in ECE and job skills. This after-school program is nurturing minds, fostering growth, and shaping futures, empowering children through enriching experiences. Families praise the school's caring and consistent staff, community-building events, diverse student body, and balanced bilingual curriculum. The director, Cynthia, is described as extremely accommodating, warm, and genuine, and the teachers as kind, inclusive, and consistent. Despite the recent opening of a competing bilingual preschool nearby, AMA is sure to weather the challenge due to its warm atmosphere, strong community, and superior curriculum. Families choose AMA for its attention, teachers, and attitude, which prove truly important for their children and families.
We love having our son at a daycare that feels like home. The maestras welcome him every morning and make sure to update us throughout his day with the activities that they do. They are always very creative and make sure everyday him and his amigos learn but also have a fun time. Gracias AMA!

Cynthia is the warmest sweetest most genuine care giver. I trust her fully. The facility is safe and the staff is attentive and warm. I recommend them to anyone looking for excellent child care.
