About Us

Welcome to Starry Family Childcare, it is a pleasure to open our family’s home to your child and you. We are a San Francisco home based childcare facility licensed by the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing. We are licensed to care for 6 children, between 2 months to 6 years of age.

We are a licensed bilingual family childcare. We speak Chinese (Cantonese & Mandarin) and English who can help your children expand their language ability and cultural diversity and support bilingual learning.

Our curriculum is play-based, and we offer children many kinds of learning experiences and opportunities through music, dramatic play, art/crafts, stories, science, senses, sports and field trips.

Program activities at our childcare support different areas of early childhood development such as physical, cognitive, language social, and emotional developments. To this end, we offer many age-appropriate activities to keep all children engaged and happy as they explore and learn.

We believe that children learn as they play, so we ensure that they play in a safe manner and a safe environment. Brain research shows that children who have opportunities for unstructured, self-selected play have significant gains; cognitive, physical, social and emotional. It turns out that play, exploration and creativity provide the best preparation for later academic learning! Additionally, children learn through various methods, but often their physical and social world teaches them the most. Even small infants learn this way.

Mission

We believe in creating a safe environment where children can feel happy, where parents feel trust and where providers are responsible for helping children develop into well balanced individuals with a range of interests and a curiosity to continue learning. We promote respect and foster a creative environment where children are free to explore and learn in a fun manner.

Philosophy

We believe that children learn through exploring and we strive to create a fun learning environment where children are encouraged to engage in activities that help them learn and develop.

We partner with parents to raise healthy, happy children and emphasize two-way communication as essential to this partnership.

Availability

We provide care from 8:30am to 5:30pm, Monday through Friday.
