About us
Our Journey in Early Learning
Many often ask us the driving force behind our choice to become family child care providers. At the heart of it all is our profound love for family. This love is not just limited to our kin, but extends to every child and parent who walks through our doors. We believe that every family deserves the best, and by being family child care providers, we get to offer that. The added flexibility it brings allows us to care for our own families while nurturing others.
Our journey began in 2011 when Auntie Siu transitioned from her role as a full-time nanny to a licensed family home daycare provider. It was a leap of faith, driven by passion and the desire to offer a nurturing environment to more children. The overwhelming love and trust from families over the years have fueled our growth. Today, we're proud to announce that, with continued support from our community, we have expanded to six licensed family daycare homes in San Francisco Bay Area.
See our story and milestones, from 2011 to today, and where we have been featured.
We're not just providers; we're an extended family. And we look forward to welcoming more families into our fold.
Meet Our Team
We are independently operated by our family members. Each location provides care primarily for children aged 3 months to 5 years old.
Auntie Siu
Director, Mission Bay
Siu Yee-yee's favorite things to do in the whole world are smile, hug, and high five. Awesome was probably her first word, and she uses it to describe anyone and everyone – because what gets her out of bed in the morning are the people that make this world alive, and she's on a mission to help them grow.
Auntie Sally
Director, Outer Sunset
With happy face and wonderful laughter, sometimes mistaken by friends that Auntie Sally is Auntie Siu. Yes! They are real sisters. Living close to the Ocean, Sally loves to walk to the beach and enjoy sunset every day. She is also a mother of two. Parents love her cheerful personality which positively influences on the kid's development.
Auntie Sharon
Director, Hayes Valley
Sharon is a mother of two amazing daughters. Both of them are really talented in multiple aspects of arts, for example, gymnastics, music, and ice skating. If you are looking into getting your child a foundation of different talents, she loves to share more about that with you.
Ryan
Director, SoMa
Ryan will be helping you with most questions regarding your enrollment. He will be the first person you talk with when you call in to inquire. You can expect the best welcoming service from him - because that is the best job for him to give back or pay it forwards.
Pyrena
Director, Portola
If you ask Pyrena her favorite flower, she would tell you sunflower. Sunflowers can lift everyone's spirit. They are bright and cheery. They symbolize warm and big smiles. Pyrena sees every child as a little sunflowers. She enjoys nurturing and being around all the little ones in our daycare every day.
Oscar
Operations & Enrollment Manager
Oscar bridges family engagement and program systems — supporting enrollment coordination, communication tools, and data systems that strengthen connections between families and providers.
Alex
Licensee, South San Francisco
Alex runs our South San Francisco home together with Joyce, a care educator. He is the son of Auntie Sally, who runs our Sunset home, and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Social Behavior.
Why Families Choose Our Program?
When parents entrust us with the care of their little ones, it's both an honor and a responsibility we take to heart. Over the years, we've received numerous testimonials from families, and here are some of the reasons they've shared about why they chose us:
- Unwavering Recommendation: Many of our families don't just use our services — they highly and definitely recommend us to others. Their endorsements are our badge of honor.
- A Haven for Children: Parents often express their joy in finding our facility. They remark on the cleanliness of our spaces and the happiness of their children, which is always our ultimate goal.
- Trust and Comfort: Some parents were initially hesitant about leaving their young ones in a new environment, but those fears quickly transformed into trust. The fact that children sometimes don't want to leave at the end of the day speaks volumes about the comfort they feel.
- Growth and Development: It's not uncommon for us to hear that children show positive behavioral changes, eat better, or even sleep more soundly after spending time at our daycare.
- Supportive and Caring Staff: Our team's dedication shines through in reviews. From being available for any parent needs to being described as the "sweetest person on earth," we're proud of the warmth and professionalism our staff brings every day.
However, we believe in continuous growth. We acknowledge concerns, like adjusting to a new daycare environment or feeling the pangs when a beloved provider relocates. But these insights only push us to be better and ensure every family's experience is nothing short of exceptional.
