ProgramInspired by the Montessori and Reggio Emilla approach, we carefully design and arrange our home-like learning environment for our young explorers. Children can feel safe and engage in the individualized hands-on activities, e.g. free play, kids yoga, reading moment, dance & music, and art craft etc. Also, we will have a spacious outdoor learning playground.

LocationOur brand new facility is located at Sweeny and Dunsmuir St, steps away from The San Francisco School. (Bernal Heights: 9 minutes driving, Dogpatch: 11 minutes driving and Glen Park: 8 minutes driving). The Portola neighborhood is a diverse, family-oriented community located conveniently near the 101 and 280 freeways.

Recommendation
"Pyrena is a truly special person and I am so glad that our daughter Ellie was able to be in her care before we left SF. In addition to being a positive and happy person, Pyrena really cares about the children that attend her daycare and wants to help them learn and grow. She is really great about communicating the day's events and discussing any highlights." - Yelp, Micha S
"Our daughter Emilia has been with Pyrena since she the age of 9 months. She is our first, so initially we had many worries about daycare, we are so grateful we have found Pyrena. I think that the best indicator of how great Pyrena is how Emilia runs to day care each morning when I take her there. We can see how much she is happy being there, she loves the team and enjoys the other kids company.They have great loving family feeling atmosphere.Throughout the day we get photos of the kids, at the end of the day when we pick her up we get a short brief about Emilia's day.They also respect our dietary restriction (kosher).In addition there a great emphasis on education and development skills, Emilia has been learning lots of words, eating around the table with a spoon without throwing food away, sharing toys and more.We're expecting another baby soon, and we know where we would send her :)" - Yelp, Shani B
