Modern Education Family Childcare

Happy Friday!
An early childhood classroom is a place for both children and teachers to thrive. Teachers deserve all the support to enjoy their work just as much as the children do. Seeing the smiles of our teachers and children as they play and explore together is a reminder of how powerful joy can be in learning. Let’s celebrate and support the happiness of our educators—they’re the heart of every joyful classroom.

Celebrating the vibrant diversity that makes San Francisco so special! 🌏
Today, we took a family trip to Chinatown to immerse our son in the rich tapestry of cultures that make our city unique. It’s important for us to teach him the value of embracing diversity, understanding different traditions, and appreciating the beauty of mixed cultures. We believe that exposing him to these experiences from a young age will help him grow into a compassionate and open-minded individual.

Bye bye, our little friends. 👋❤️ Your journey continues, but you'll always have a place in our hearts.

Reunited and it feels so good! 💖
Two of our alumni, now in San Diego, made a special trip back to visit us. Moments like these remind me of the deep bonds we create here—ones that distance can never break. Grateful for the love and connection that lasts a lifetime. Can't wait to visit them in San Diego!❤️

Our preschoolers had an amazing morning at UCSF’s Teddy Bear Clinic today! 🧸✨
Riding the Muni bus and T-train was an adventure itself, and the clinic was a wonderful opportunity for hands-on learning. So proud of our kids for embracing the experience with such curiosity and care. A big thank you to UCSF for inviting and having us!

We are now enrolling children 2 years old and above! 🧡
Join our loving and nurturing environment where your little one can grow, learn, and play in a bilingual (Cantonese/Mandarin) setting. We focus on the whole child, emphasizing social-emotional development, creative play, outdoor exploration and cultural connection.

Dinner time is always full of surprises! Tonight, as we set the table, I noticed an unexpected addition—a bowl of homemade playdough. 😂
Curious, I asked our three-year-old, "What is this?" he replied, "I got you extra food, mama. It's dessert! You cannot eat it now, after you've done your dinner."
Guess we have a future chef in the making, serving up creativity and humor in every meal!

We had an amazing morning with a visit from some adorable animals! The children were thrilled to interact with ducks, chicks, a hen, a c**k, and guinea pigs. They enjoyed feeding, chasing, and hugging their new furry and feathered friends. 🦆🐥🐔🐹
Spending time with animals helps children develop empathy, responsibility, and a love for nature. A huge thank you to Teacher Sandra and Teacher Angela from Angela's family day care for bringing these wonderful creatures to us and sharing the real heartwarming story of their baby duck "Miracle." 🦆📖

🌊✨ Water Wonders at Play! Here our little explorers dove into a magical eastern-style pond adventure. We love the north blocks from Guidecraft . We built a small bridge for the pond. Armed with colorful frogs, petite figures, and vibrant lotus leaves, they set the stage for endless stories and creative play.
🐸🌿From crafting frog houses to watching their amphibian friends leap from tiny bridges, our 2-3 year olds were completely absorbed, spending 30 to 45 minutes rearranging rocks, leaves, and characters to bring their imaginative tales to life. Each setup was a unique expression of their creativity, reshaped time and again with joyful enthusiasm.Swipe to see how simple elements can transform into a captivating exploration of stories and learning. Here’s to many more days of splashing fun and storytelling at our family child care.💦🌺

🌟 What a wonderful evening at the Children's Council of San Francisco's 50th anniversary celebration! We are honored to be among the 50 champions of child care recognized for our commitment to the children and families of San Francisco. 🌱 Even our 3-year-old had a blast at the event!

A big congratulations to Children's Council, the Children's Council of San Francisco, on 50 years of child care advocacy, service, and support to San Francisco children and families. And a heartfelt thank you for recognizing our efforts. Here’s to continuing our shared mission of nurturing young minds and advocating for families, children, and child care in San Francisco! 🎉

After the rain comes the most enchanting playtime at our childcare home. 🌸 Decked out in their colorful full-body rain suits, our little explorers are out mixing up a storm of their own with nature’s sprinkles. They’re learning, laughing, and creating with every scoop of petal-filled puddles and "soups" of vibrant spring water. It’s a world where flowers and imagination brew together in a cauldron of childhood wonder. Swipe to see the delightful mess they’ve cooked up in the great outdoors, and share the joy as they pour their hearts into every playful moment! 💦🌈

Primavara fericita! Happy Spring! 🌸 As we bid farewell to Black History Month, we embrace the vibrant spirit of Mărțișor today! A big thank you to our amazing childcare parents for bringing the beautiful Romanian tradition of Hope and Renewal into our hearts. 🌱Simple but meaningful, together, we made these charming "Martisor" with red and white string, infusing each piece with wishes of good fortune for our little ones and teachers. It's a joy to see different cultures bloom in our community garden, nurturing the roots of diversity and unity.

Spring has sprung and it's time to play in the dirt! 🌱 Our little gardeners have picked out their favorite tools and are getting their hands into the organic planter mix. With their brand new gardening gloves on, their smiles say it all! It's the season of growth, not just for our plants and veggies, but for our kids too.

Celebrating love in all its tiny forms! 💕 At our family child care home, every day is a chance to nurture the sweet bonds of friendship and care. From giggles to cuddles, our hearts are full this Valentine's season. Join us in spreading the love! 🌷

Every day at our family child care home brings its own little wonders, but this morning was truly special. As we stepped out to start the day, my son, like all our little ones, walked towards the entrance to begin his routine. But today, he found a little friend right outside our door. With the sweetest initiative, he held her hand, and together they stepped through the threshold of another day of learning and growing. Watching these moments of friendship blossom under our roof is a reminder of the beauty of shared childhood experiences. It's a joy to see my son among friends, making memories just like the ones I cherish with my siblings and cousins.

Circle Time Wonders 📚✨
Today's snapshot captures the magic of storytelling among our readers. Our little readers shared tales from their favorite books with their attentive friends. It's moments like these that remind us of the joy and discovery found within the pages of a good story.

Spot the difference! Hahaha!!!! Just kidding, there isn't one! 🤗
One of our little champs noticed we were and wanted me to share the cuteness with his family. Moments like this are what we cherish at our family child care home – where every day is a new adventure in matching, learning, and giggling.
Join our family and let's make memories together! 💛

Every little climber has their own mountain to conquer, and at our family child care, we cheer them on every step of the way! 🌟 Captured here is more than just a moment of play; it's a celebration of growth, determination, and the boundless potential within every child. We're here to help them climb as high as possible.

Snowy smiles and creative vibes in our backyard today! 🌟 We crafted 'snow' from child safe ingredients frozen baking soda and water for our builders to shape a colorful world with magnet tiles and family counters. The fun peaked with a yarn snowball fight, a laugh-filled tradition we all adore.
