To provide comprehensive educationally based childcare services in a culturally and economically diverse urban setting. The Center’s model promotes the physical, intellectual, and emotional well-being of the children served through active involvement of parents and support from the community.
Their Work
For nearly 50 years, Friends of St. Francis Child Care Center has provided high-quality, affordable childcare and innovative early education programs for the San Francisco community. The inclusive early childhood education program welcomes children from all cultural and economic backgrounds, fostering an environment where they can thrive, learn, and grow. Licensed for ages two to five, the Center currently enrolls eight toddlers and 30 preschoolers.
Parent engagement and family support are integrated throughout the programs. Through intentional teaching and a thoughtfully designed natural environment, we inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. Parent tuition and four subsidy funding streams ensure families of all incomes can access services, fostering a more inclusive community. Now, more than ever, the Center relies on continued funding to sustain this vital support. For more information, or to make a donation, go to https://www.fosf-childcare.org/.
