South of Market Child Care

Early Care and Education Program Our high quality program promotes the social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of infants, toddlers and preschoolers. We currently serve nearly 140 children ages 0-5 years, 60% of whom are from low-income families. Our play- and project-based curriculum is inspired by the Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) for infants and toddlers and Reggio Emilia Approach for preschoolers. Our goal is to provide a strong foundation so children will thrive in kindergarten and throughout their learning years.
