Playgroup

Playgroup is a full-time early education program located in the Presidio of San Francisco that provides services for children ages 2-6 years old. The Playgroup curriculum and pedagogy are inspired by Dr. Montessori’s motto of “follow the child”. Dr. Montessori’s work – woven in with Jean Piaget’s stages of Cognitive Development and Erik Erikson’s 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development – provide the foundation for all they do.  

Located in the heard of a national park site with trails, forests, beaches, and breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Playgroup offers children a unique preschool experience. Surrounded by nature, children thrive on a campus carefully designed to provide them with open-ended learning opportunities and guidance from the best early childhood educators.  

Playgroup facilitates self-directed activity, hands-on-learning, and collaborative play, giving children the freedom to explore and develop to their fullest potential.
