Philosophies

Our Philosophies

As a leading preschool in San Francisco, our primary goal is to provide and continuously improve child development and education services of the highest quality in a climate of care and respect for children and their families. We offer a program that places an emphasis on developing strong collaborative relationships between children, staff, parents, family members, and the community.

C5’s teaching philosophy centers around the concepts of play-based learning, project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, social/emotional development, as well as positive approaches to discipline. 


Our Mission

Our mission is to facilitate young children’s optimal development and learning in a safe, supportive, and enriched environment.
