Yerba Buena Gardens Child Development Center

Our learning environments are physically safe, cognitively challenging, emotionally nurturing, active, and stimulating that encourage curiosity, active learning, values, problem-solving, language development, and a positive self-image. They are warm and inviting, with a multitude of developmentally appropriate materials and equipment that are aligned with our educational philosophies, the Reggio Emilia Approach and Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE).

What this means

Good questions to ask on a tour

1. 1How do children's interests shape the projects you do, and can you share a recent example?
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?
