Playschoolsf is a fully licensed home-based preschool based on constructivist values, Waldorf influence and attachment teaching. A love for the outdoors and our local neighborhoods is a value we hold high as a community.




We provide a safe educative space where children learn through exploration in the arts, indoor space, music, storytelling and love for the outdoors. Building bonds to promote healthy relationships with individuals are the essential aspects of early childhood that we strive for.

 

Our small community calls for commitment and responsibility. It is a place where lasting friendships and precious memories are made.

 

We have moved from our Glen Park location and are now located in our sunny Potrero Hill neighborhood. The school runs primarily outdoors and opens to our backyard.  We have a vegetable garden to tend to and spend our days exploring nature.

​

We abide by all COVID safety protocols and take health and safety of our community very seriously. A healthy community is a happy community.
