Mary's Little Lamb, San Francisco

Philosophy At Mary’s Little Lambs, we believe that children learn and grow best when they are in a safe and loving environment and when their needs as individuals are understood and met. We provide a loving in-home child care program that features fun, play-based learning and has an expansive collection of activities, toys, books and games. We encourage children to communicate, work together as a group and above all, take care of one another. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with your child and family. Location Mary’s Little Lambs is located in the Fillmore Center in the heart of Fillmore. It’s such a multicultural location with just minutes away from our local playground which host children from different child cares and families from around the neighborhood. We are located just feet away from grocery stores; healthy food choices are a very important part of Mary’s Little Lambs. A few other places include the library, art studio, gym, garden and much more. Everything needed for a fun and productive day of play and adventure is a very short distance away. About Our School Daytime & Nighttime Care We provide daytime and nighttime options for enrollment. Please be aware that your child cannot enroll in both for any 24-hour period. Behavioral Management Mary’s Little Lambs behavioral management philosophy involves setting limits and offering guidance and positive reinforcement. Unacceptable behavior is explained based on the child’s age and level of comprehension. If repeated problematic behavior occurs, Mary Jean will contact the parent in an effort to work towards a resolution together. Outings We often take outings into the community. This includes trips to local playgrounds, businesses, classes, city services (such as fire and police departments) and other children’s attractions.
