Our Teachers
Maria Figueroa, Director
Maria graduated from the University of California in 2001 with an Education Specialist (EdS) degree. In 2005, she realized her dream of having her own in home childcare program after the birth of her daughter. Her favorite thing about what she does is developing relationships with the children that she teaches and their families. She believes that small class size and the development of a strong community allow her and her team to really know each child as an individual and to provide a solid and supportive foundation in the early year
Location
We’re in the xyz neighborhood of Schoolville; on a tree lined street in a single family home. With easy access to transit, everything from the XYZ Library to ABC Park are just a short walk away. We’re a few blocks away from the Exploratorium, and UCSF Mission Bay campus. We’re just steps to CalTrain and a block from Hwy 280 on-ramp, yet in a peaceful, quiet location if you’re looking to commute from the South Bay or East Bay- a parent’s dream!
About our program
At our school, we teach the concepts of math, science, engineering, art, social sciences and early literacy through our play-based, child-led curriculum. We use the interests and ideas of the children as a jumping off place. The materials are open-ended and invite discovery. Children make their own investigations and draw their own conclusions whenever possible.
