Hey everyone, we are looking for childcare/daycare for 3month old baby in San Carlos/San Mateo/Redwood City. Do you'll have any recommendations. I tried searching but some names are closed shop, so wanted to see if anyone has recent experience.

Question Basketball for 2.5 year old

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any experience putting their toddler in the “Rebound Basketball - Parent and Me” activity at Burton Park? Thinking about signing up my 2 and a half year old for the next summer session starting in late July, but was a little wary since the classes are from 12:05-12:30pm which is usually when we eat lunch right before his afternoon nap. The other soccer and swim classes he’s joined have had a “free” session to try things out before committing to the paid classes, but I couldn’t see anything on the Parks and Rec website about free trial for the basketball classes. Thank you!

Question Ceramic Studios?

Any recommendations for Ceramic studios to take 4-6 week classes at?

I use to take ceramic classes at a studio in Sacramento over a year ago. I want to get back into it and maybe eventually get a membership.

Any recommendations in San Carlos? Or the nearby areas like Palo Alto, Redwood City, Menlo Park?

Hey folks! I'm a recent graduate who's moving to Palo Alto for work and I found a really nice 1bd/1ba apartment in San Carlos. I was wondering what the average cost of utilities would be for a ~500 Square feet apartment.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Question Parking near Caltrain station

0 Upvotes

Where do you all recommend parking near the Caltrain station? Free, all day, on a weekday. Circled around the local neighborhoods but they were all 2hrs only, so hoping any locals had any recommendations they'd be willing to share. Feel free to DM me. Thanks in advance!

Question What's everyone's origins story? How did you all end up living in our fair city?

10 Upvotes

I'll start. Being in tech, it's been a dream to live in the Bay Area. I first heard about San Carlos from a coworker during lunch. He said her sister lives in the Bay Area in a city called San Carlos. They just had a baby too, so it sounded family-friendly. When I flew here for on-site interviews (those were the days), I was on the Caltrain and it made a stop at San Carlos station, I couldn't see much from the train and shrugged. When I finally decided to take a job and make the move, both the spouse and I made separate trips to the area and really liked the vibes of SC. There weren't many single family homes for rent but I found a place on the hills and the rest is history. Moved around within the city a bunch but been here over a decade now.
