Our Teachers

Mercedes Cordero - Owner and Head Teacher

Hello! I am Mercedes Cordero, the founder of Dimer Family Daycare. I was inspired to start my own program because it has always been my dream to design my own space where children can blossom and grow. I have 10 years of experience working with young children.

I hold an Associate Early Childhood Teacher Certificate from City College of San Francisco. I have completed 22 units of coursework in Early Childhood Education / Child Development from City College.

I am originally from Nicaragua and Spanish is my first language.

Philosophy

At Dimer Family Daycare, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by feeling safe, loved, and nurtured. It is our goal to provide an environment that helps each child to feel confident and capable. In our program, children will feel empowered to follow their own interests in a safe space.

Location

Dimer Family Daycare is located in a welcoming, cozy apartment in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood.

We’ve designed our care environment with play and learning areas that allow children to explore various developmentally-appropriate activities based on their interests. Some of our favorite areas include dramatic play area (for self-expression and empathy), block area (for gross motor skills and problem solving), and art area (for expressing emotions and ideas).

Children will have some outdoor time everyday at a local park or playground. Children need space to run, jump, and move!

At Dimer Family Daycare, I want to provide a loving home away from home.
