This place prevents more child abuse than anyone could ever imagine. It is truly incredible. I am the sole parent of a 2.5 year old little boy and I have no living family to help me. After I was in an accident and was too injured to take care of my son, I had no choice but to do the right thing and bring him here. This place is so warm and loving. It looks more like a home than anything and the children sleep in bedrooms where they're warm and feel loved and the staff knows exactly what each individual child needs to comfort them. I have been taking my son here every month for about a year and a half for a 48 hour stress break. Like clockwork. He has come to expect it and gets super excited to go to "the nursery". I don't know what I'd do without this place. Every single city should have a place like this. If you have any fear in taking your child here, don't. I did at first, but in their 30 years of operation they've only ever had to turn a child over to CPS twice. Just 2 times in 30 years (because of abandonment). They are here to help you, and you will get your child back. I promise you, they are here to help. If you have ever considered donating to this place, I cannot think of a better cause to donate your money to. They have had and continue to have a tremendous impact on me and my son's life. My heartfelt thanks to everyone at the Bay Area Crisis Nursery.
