About

Since 1978, Angela’s Children Center has been a trusted part of the San Francisco community, providing loving, family-style care for infants and toddlers. As a state-licensed center, we offer a safe, nurturing environment where each child is known, valued, and supported as an individual. 

Our experienced bilingual (Mandarin and English) care team creates a warm “home away from home,” helping children feel secure while encouraging curiosity, confidence, and connection. Through play-based learning and thoughtful daily routines, we support each child’s social, emotional, and developmental growth.           

Philosophy

We believe that strong, trusting relationships are the foundation of early childhood. By partnering closely with families, we create a supportive community where children can thrive and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Programs

We understand that becoming a parent is both exciting and overwhelming. At Angela’s Children Center, we provide a warm, supportive environment where families feel welcomed, heard, and connected. Parents are always welcome to visit, check in, and be part of their child’s daily experience.             

Our program is individualized based on each child’s needs, our observations, and ongoing communication with families. Through thoughtful daily routines and play based learning, we support each child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

Group 1: Infants (newborn – 14 months)

Our infant program provides responsive care in a nurturing setting where babies form secure relationships with consistent caregivers. Daily routines, sensory exploration, and gentle encouragement help support early development.

Group 2: Toddlers (15 – 24 months)

Our toddler program encourages independence, curiosity, and social interaction through engaging activities, movement, language development, and predictable routines in a warm and supportive environment.

Enrichment Activities

Our program includes enriching experiences that inspire creativity, learning, and self expression. Activities may include music, art, storytelling, sensory play, early language development, and hands on exploration tailored to each age group.

Enrollment Process

Due to limited space and to minimize disruptions to the classrooms, we only conduct tours as openings become available. Applications will be reviewed and enrollment prioritized based on a combination of factors including: age, start date, siblings, gender, and for families that live/work in the neighborhood. Below is an overview of the enrollment process.

Submit an Application

Interested families may submit completed applications with a non-refundable check for $40 (payable to Angela’s Children Center). Applications are reviewed throughout the year when there are openings.

Tour our Facility

When a space is available, we will contact parents for a tour. Tours are generally about 40 minutes and parents are welcome to contact us for an update after you’ve submitted an application. After the tour, parents  will have a few days to confirm whether they will accept the spot.

Intake Meeting

To confirm the spot for your child, you will need to schedule a time to review the parent agreement and leave a nonrefundable payment to confirm a space for your child. The meeting will be about 1 hour and parents are welcome to bring their child. To schedule this meeting, parents should reference the information sheet from the tour. 

Our Staff

We have an awesome staff at Angela’s. Our diversity and range of backgrounds of the teachers and children makes our center unique and exciting! All our teacher and staff members are educated and experienced in early childhood education. 

Prior to employment, employees must have prior experience, certification in Infant CPR and First aid, pass the state background check, and fulfilled a minimum of 4-8 units of early childhood education. 

Our center believes in continuing education and assists our staff in continuing education classes and Early Childhood Development Programs and certificates.

Outdoor Play & Exploration

We value the importance of fresh air, movement, and outdoor discovery. Children enjoy supervised outdoor play that supports physical development, curiosity, confidence, and a connection to the world around them.

In addition to our backyard play space, we take advantage of the beautiful Golden Gate Park right outside our door for neighborhood walks and nature exploration. Nearby gems include the California Academy of Sciences and the De Young Museum for age-appropriate learning experiences and discovery.
