A Note from Our Director
Hello, I'm Fran Louie, Director of Sunshine Kids SF. My passion for early childhood education has led me to create a warm, culturally-rich daycare environment. I firmly believe that children thrive when they are respected, challenged, and loved.
Thank you for choosing our program and entrusting us with your child's care and development. We look forward to working together to nurture your child's unique potential.
Our Philosophy
Small Group Sizes
We keep low teacher-to-child ratios to provide personalized attention, ensuring each child feels seen and supported.
Early Learning Foundation
Our curriculum features age-appropriate math, language, and science concepts through engaging, play-based activities.
Social-Emotional Development
We foster emotional intelligence, social skills, and confidence through positive interactions.
Play-Based Learning
Children learn most effectively through hands-on play, exploring, creating, and solving problems naturally.
