Shining Stars Academy

Shining Stars Academy welcomes children of all backgrounds, ages 12 months-5 years old. We are a large Family Child Care with a fully equipped, safe playground for outdoors. Our preschool is located in Sunset, San Francisco in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood with free parking always available for easy drop in and pick up.

From the first day of children's life, they are curious learners, immediately investigating the sights, sounds and feel of their surroundings. Even before walking and talking, they are already exploring their own abilities and what the world has to offer them. Though much of a child's play and learning is self-motivated and self-directed, it is still important for caregivers to offer opportunities for caregiver-initiated activities and learning experiences throughout the day, as well. Children of all ages are given opportunities to learn through experiences with stories, songs/music, art, science, dramatic play, sensory materials, number and letter activities and the outdoors. Even children younger than 2 years, tend to choose to participate in the above activities so our activities are tailored to the interest, abilities, as well as, the ages of the children in my care.

Our preschool provides high academic standards of educational approach to make sure our graduates succeed at school and in future life. Fully certified experienced professional teachers invite the students in an ongoing dialogue introducing new ideas and concepts to familiarize children with nature, provide music and movements lessons, math, shapes & colors, speech development, arts and crafts.

The children are provided with an environment full of opportunities for exploration and discovery. Our hands-on environment is educational and fun for children! We value our multicultural environment and love to celebrate all national holidays, cultural events and traditions of the families at our preschool.

Health and Safety of our children is our first priority. All the team members have Pediatric CPR/First Aid and CA Child Care preventative Health & Safety Certificates. We also have special germs preventative methods. We provide homemade hot healthy meals 3 times a day plus snacks.
