Children's Village Child Development Center
Located
in the SOMA section of San Francisco, Children's Village Child
Development Center provides a year round arts enriched day program for
children ages 3 months to 5 years. The Children’s Village Community is
a coming-together of 102 families who are representative of the
eclectic quality and diversity of the Bay Area. Nine languages are
represented, as are adoptive, gay, lesbian and one or more parent
families. An equally diverse staff of childcare professionals partners
with families to nurture each child’s capacity to love and learn. At
the Village, children explore the complexities of their world through
creative arts, social interaction, enhanced play and nature studies in
our urban garden setting. Our goal is to provide a well rounded,
stimulating experience, which will prepare the children in our care for
engaged learning through elementary school and beyond. At Children’s
Village we are proud to socialize, educate, and inspire 136 young
children yearly.
Children’s Village hours of operation are 7:30 am to
6:00 pm with pre-established holidays and teacher preparation week.
Breakfast, hot lunch and snack are served; formula and baby food is
provided for infants. Children are enrolled on a
first-come-first-served basis according to our waiting list priorities.
Preference will be given to; children from families struggling with
homelessness, children in the care of Child Protective Services,
siblings of children already enrolled, children with disabilities (Up
to 10% of children enrolled,) children from low-income families (Up to
53% of children enrolled.) Limited scholarship opportunities are
available to private pay families. Children’s Council voucher
recipients are encouraged to apply.
