North Beach Kids

724 Lombard Street, San Francisco 94133

Our primary principle is to promote participation in age-appropriate activities, such as unstructured hands-on play, group story-time, and themed activities. North Beach Kids are encouraged to learn through play, interactive learning, and having fun. Our philosopy is: "We will get dirty. We will get wet. We will have a ton of fun - all the while learning real lessons about life and being a good friend to our neighbors."

What this means

The teaching approach

Play-based means children learn through free and guided play — social skills, problem-solving, and early academics emerge through play rather than direct teaching.

The language model

This school teaches primarily in English.

Good questions to ask on a tour

  1. 1What does a typical day look like, and how much of it is child-chosen play vs. teacher-led?
  2. 2What are the exact drop-off and pickup times, and is there any flexibility?
  3. 3What is the current monthly tuition, and are there different rates for different days-per-week schedules?
  4. 4How do you handle the transition for children starting mid-year or moving up from a younger classroom?
  5. 5What is your potty-training policy, and how do you support children who are still learning?
  6. 6How do you handle discipline, conflict between children, and big feelings?
  7. 7Does having an infant/toddler program give siblings priority or a guaranteed spot later?
  8. 8What is your application timeline, and when do families typically hear back?
  9. 9How large is each class, and what is the teacher-to-child ratio?
  10. 10What does parent communication look like — updates, conferences, opportunities to be involved?
