Nurturing Growth Through Quality Early Education
Since 1977, Friends of St. Francis has been dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable childcare and innovative early education programs for the San Francisco community. Our inclusive early childhood education program welcomes children from all cultural and economic backgrounds, fostering an environment where they can thrive, learn, and grow.
With a strong foundation in play-based, hands-on exploration, our experienced educators create a nurturing and engaging space that supports children's social-emotional development and long-term academic success. Through intentional teaching and a thoughtfully designed natural environment, we inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Our Programs
Outdoor Learning through Play
Our nature-based backyard is an extension of our classroom, designed to spark curiosity and hands-on discovery. Through our garden, children learn how plants grow, where food comes from, and how their senses—smell, taste, and sight—help them explore the world.
Our young gardeners cultivate radishes, pumpkins, peas, and tomatoes, gaining a deeper appreciation for nature and healthy eating. They also delight in feeding the birds, observing butterflies, and discovering bugs, worms, and friendly neighborhood bees—all while developing a love for the environment.
