Tilly's Tots

We offer the professionalism of a commercial facility with the communal feel of an in-home facility. We have one of the most spacious facilities in Noe Valley- namely, our own private backyard, and a separate room for napping. We have three additional classrooms, offering plenty of space for your little ones to learn and play. We offer a blend of what most parents desire: an introduction to STEM activities, cooking classes, different types of outdoor play, creative arts and music, and academic rigor with our daily curriculum. We are one of the only facilities to offer in-depth progress reports for children under 5 years. On top of that, we have regular events every other month to ensure parents get an opportunity to meet and have playdates for their children.

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. 3Beyond the listed tuition, what other fees should I expect (application, deposit, materials, field trips)?
4. 4What ages do you serve, and how are children grouped?
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?
