Holy Family Day Home
299 Dolores St, San Francisco 94103
At Holy Family Day Home, we offer a progressive, Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool curriculum which emphasizes individualized learning, self-exploration, play-oriented lessons, and child-initiated, teacher-led education. Daily activities include early literacy lessons, STEM learning, small classes in the art studio, and outdoor education in the community garden. These are all supported by our highly-qualified teaching staff and a wide variety of age-appropriate teaching tools.
