Welcome to Sunshine Kids SF

At Sunshine Kids SF, we create a unique bilingual environment where children naturally acquire multiple languages through immersive, play-based learning. Our program combines diverse cultural elements to foster linguistic development, cultural awareness, and academic readiness.

Located in the heart of San Francisco at 8 Seymour St, we serve families seeking a nurturing multilingual education for children. We're excited to partner with you on this journey!

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.
