Hi everyone! I am new to Santa Clara. I am looking for recommendations for good daycares in Santa Clara / Sunnyvale.

I'm a first-time parent to twins, and we're planning to enroll them in daycare when they're around 1 year old. At that age, what matters most to me is the quality of care.

Specifically, I'm looking for recommendations for daycares that:

• Have experienced, long-tenured caregivers (low staff turnover, strong teacher-to-child ratios, infant development training)
• Prepare fresh meals on-site rather than relying primarily on packaged food
• Offer vegetarian and vegan-friendly meal options
• Provide a warm, nurturing environment with a strong focus on early childhood development

If you've had a great experience with a daycare that fits these criteria, I'd really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

I'm going to Ed Sheeran this weekend and debating between these two lots: Santa Clara Marriott and 4701 Patrick Henry Dr. I saw parking spots available to reserve but which one would get me out fastest? The Marriott looks like it's closer to the 101. I'm nervous that Patrick Henry Dr. is close to the Levi's Stadium lots and I'll be smack dab in the same congested traffic as everyone who bought official Levi's stadium parking.

Additionally, I did think about parking at a VTA light rail station but I don't plan on getting there until around 5pm (I don't care to see the openers) and am worried parking might already be taken that time.

Any advice welcome and appreciated, thank you!

Have my test tomorrow (yikes!). When I make a right turn on a red light from el camino onto pomeroy at see's candy , do I need to stop before proceeding even if I don't see any pedestrians or traffic? Asking because I don't know if the island that creates the separate right turn lane changes the rule of needing to stop or if I just need to slow down.

I’m 5’0 looking for a decent alteration/seamstress to get my jeans hemmed. Most places are up charging $40 per piece. Any recs?

I spoke to you and told you that I was interested in that watch. PM me please.

These healthy 9 week olds are vaccinated, spayed, & litter box trained. I have been fostering them through Garlic City Kitty Rescue for the past few weeks after they were found in a trailer park. Though timid, they are very sweet and cuddly if you give them lots of petting. They love to play and are not aggressive towards people at all. They need a loving home with patient & caring people. They have to be adopted together as they are a bonded pair. Located in Morgan Hill/Gilroy. Please comment here or send me a message if you are interested, or share this post with anyone you know who would consider adopting!

Hi everyone,

I'm Maria Rose Francis, a PhD candidate in Urban Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, currently doing dissertation fieldwork in the Bay Area.

My research looks at South Asian everyday life in Silicon Valley and the wider Bay Area — the places people return to, the routes they travel, the groceries, temples, festivals, restaurants, and gatherings that make this region feel like home.

If you live in, work in, or regularly visit Bay Area and identify as South Asian, I'd love to hear from you.

The survey takes about 5–15 minutes and is completely voluntary. This study is IRB-approved by UW-Milwaukee.

At the end there's an optional section if you're interested in future interviews or community sessions.

Thank you so much 🙏

Feel free to ask me anything in the comments.

I lost a ton of weight this year and have a lot of men's business dress and casual clothes to donate. Looking for a local recommendation instead of Goodwill this time. TIA.

Are the gas mini bikes allowed on the road in Samta Clara? Or is this just not enforced? I've seen them going down Monroe and El Camino. I can barely see them when I'm in the car.

Hi everyone! I have two tickets to the anime impulse event that a friend and I couldn’t go to, I’m open to negotiating a really cheap price, the tickets normally are $40/ea but I can even do less than the price of one ticket. Pls DM if interested! :)

Hi, 28F here looking for a room within Santa Clara or a (preferably female) roommate to sign a lease with. A little about me: I work in Santa Clara and enjoy dancing, traveling, anime, and kpop. I am very clean and I have two dogs who are ESA’s and are very well behaved and quiet.

Also open to Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and San Jose. My budget is ~$1600

Hello r/santaclara I just moved from Chicago, and I was looking to join Bay Club, and I was told it is cheaper to create a group membership. If anyone is looking to start, or add me to their existing, Santa Clara membership. Please let me know!

I need someone else to go to this ed sheeran lookalike thing at valley fair with me on the 25th because I will not survive judging this alone. FREE CONCERT TICKETS TOO!!!

Has anyone parked at the Santa Clara Marriott to attend an event at Levis Stadium? How was the experience (especially when exiting at 11pm)? How long was the walk? We're taking our kids to a concert and ideally want to park somewhere that's not too long a walk and also quicker to exit from. Any other suggestions welcome too. Thank you!
