Located in what feels like the countryside of South San Francisco, I am conveniently located 5 minutes from 280 and 101. I have been running the daycare for 2 years and have over 18 years of working with children under my belt. My daycare room is full of natural light and I have a large outdoor space with a play castle and play house. Your child will feel like they are at home and you will see their confidence sky rocket. They will learn new skills towards independence. I offer one-on-one time with each child and we do large group activities that doesn't feel like learning. I believe children learn the best and most while playing. I offer an Instagram page to the parents/guardians with private stories to follow along with what we do during the day. I provide all meals. I accept subsidies, help with potty training and sleep training.
