Little Gators was established in January of 1984 and is located in the Cow Hollow District of San Francisco. Little Gators is a Preschool which is licensed by the California State Department of Social Welfare for children between the ages of 2 and 5. 

Little Gators' goal is to provide your child with a supportive and stimulating environment that promotes his or her optimal physical, social, emotional and intellectual development. We believe that the most important contribution we can make to your child's life is to develop within him or her a positive self-concept. The ability to feel good about one's self enables a child to retain their natural desire to learn. 

Little Gators is a three to four year program which is designed to increase educational levels as the child prepares for Kindergarten. All of our programs provide a safe, healthy, warm and stimulating environment which fosters the social, emotional, creative, cognitive and physical growth of your child. We offer a program which is geared towards matching the developmental level of the child to more advanced stages. 

A variety of programs and activities are designed to provide students with a balance between teacher- directed and self- directed activities. Activities are structured in a variety of group sizes in both indoor and outdoor settings which include music, painting, dance, introduction to letters, numbers, words, shapes and colors. Each month a different educational theme is presented to the children. These themes include such diverse topics as insects, planting, safety, community helpers, birds and animals and the solar system.  

The programs consist of three separate levels, each geared to the age or ability of the child. In each program, children are encouraged to be themselves and show their emotions, but also have respect for their peers and teachers. Children will receive individual and group attention. They work in areas which will stimulate perceptual and muscular development, social, and emotional growth and a general feeling of positive strength about themselves. We enjoy giving the loving and care that parents would give to each and every one of our Little Gators.
