Our Community

San Francisco's family child care providers are the backbone of the city's early childhood education system. Operating out of their own homes, these licensed professionals provide nurturing, small-group care that reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of our neighborhoods.

FCCASF brings this community together — from seasoned providers with decades of experience to those just starting their licensing journey.

Partners

We work closely with organizations across San Francisco's early childhood ecosystem:

  • San Francisco Department of Early Childhood (SF DEC) — city agency overseeing early childhood programs
  • Early Childhood Educators of San Francisco (ECESF) — professional development and stipends
  • Children's Council of San Francisco — resource and referral, training
  • Wu Yee Children's Services — subsidized care, provider support
  • Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) — state licensing authority
