Program​

Inspired 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.

Location

​Our 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.​
When you schedule a tour, please be reminded that we are anticipating openings in mid-January 2023. You may choose to get on our wait list instead. We will notify our families when we are expecting any openings or changes.

​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

"Pyrena’s daycare is hands down one of the best. I was very anxious when the date was approaching for me to return to work and we hadn’t yet found a daycare. Miraculously, Modern Education Family Childcare was opening this new location. After one visit with Pyrena, we knew that this was where we wanted our LO. Pyrena is amazing with the kids - she creates structure throughout the day but leaves plenty of time for the kids to explore and play freely as well.

Pyrena provides a report daily of our daughter’s activities and food. Pyrena provides amazing meals for the kids - I often think I wish I ate what my daughter did at daycare!

The daycare is clean, spacious, and has great indoor and outdoor spaces for the kids to play. Thank you, Pyrena for creating an amazing space for our daughter to grow & develop!" - Winnie.com, Diane

"We visited many large day care centers as well as small home-based centers while looking for a place for our 5-month old daughter. There’s Pyrena’s place, then there’s a big gap and then there’s all the other centers. She really stands out. She loves the kids like they’re her own, she truly cares about their happiness, development and health. She has all kinds of interesting toys and activities for them every day, sometimes I wish I could enroll in her program myself :). Our daughter clearly loves the place very much too - she very happily gets dropped off in the morning and reluctantly stops playing in the evening during the pick-up." - Winnie.com, Katarína

"Pyrena's home childcare is the best childcare you could ask for. While starting my search for childcare for my 15mo old daughter I was only going to continue working if I found a loving and amazing place for her to go. When I met with Pyrena at her home, I had no doubt in my mind that it would be the only place I would be comfortable with. Pyrena is 100% loving, caring, and innovative in early childcare education. She is communicative, sends updates, listens, and works with each child and their needs. If you are looking for a loving and extremely helpful childcare look no further. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like a more detailed referral." - Winnie.com, Emily
