to doctors and nurses at Stanford University Medical Center to corporate CEOs, she said. Peninsula Day Care Center also ran a side business, offering bus transportation for thousands of field trips for public schools in Los Altos and Mountain View, she said. In fact, the expense of complying with the latest bus-emissions regulations from the state was a factor in the decision to close the center, she said. Shaw said she thinks most families have found alternative child care, many through the YMCA in Moun-
tain View. The center invited parents to a “day care fair� one Saturday in March, at which other centers set up recruiting tables. “We just want people to know how much we’ve enjoyed serving the community,� she said. “We’ve been here so long we have children whose parents came here as children, and staff who were here as children and came back to work for us.� The center planned a farewell reception for current and former parents, children and staff Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. in its courtyard. A liquidation sale of school and office supplies — as well as a church pulpit and miscellaneous restaurant
items (Herman Shaw also owns and operates Country Gourmet restaurant in Mountain View) — will be held June 18 and June 25, beginning at 8 a.m. One bus will be donated to a staff member who’s starting a center for abused women in Mexico, Shaw said, and 20 tables and 200 chairs were sold at low cost to a church that’s building a school in Guatemala. Herman Shaw, who personally opened the day care center at 6:30 a.m. each day, will spend more time at his restaurant, his sister said. Shaw’s late wife, Mary Jo, had managed the preschool program. She died last year. N Staff Writer Chris Kenrick can be emailed at ckenrick@paweekly.com.
