Primeros Pasos was a wonderful place for our son. We eagerly joined when the Silver Park campus opened in 2019 and only recently left, due to relocation, when our son was in the pre-K program. We had the pleasure of having excellent teachers at each stage of our son's journey. Besides exceeding qualifications, the teachers are all stellar humans, and the kind of people you want caring for your most precious child. While there was clearly a lot of learning going on, indicated by superior language skills in our son (both English and Spanish!) what stands out the most to me is the warmth, care, and individual attention that the teachers share with the children. There is a healthy and safe relationship that is formed and this is critical to a young child's growth and development. Our main goal was to find a warm and welcoming environment that had Spanish immersion and PP was the perfect place for both. Gabriella's passion and knowledge of child development are at the heart of her business and along with the effervescent Franco, this duo truly makes the CPP program engaging and efficient. The digital updates throughout the day are truly uplifting, and I will treasure the series of 'hug' pictures from our son's final day. If you value Socio-Emotional development, with Spanish fluent educators who will grow to authentically love your child, Primeros Pasos is the place for your family

We were looking for a infant / toddler class first experience for our son and we were so lucky to find Primeros Pasos and connect with Gabriella. Our son had the best experience and build a strong bond and conection with all the teachers. The school is beautiful, educational, and huge! They provide an incredible motor room where the children can run, climb, play, explore, with a indoor sandbox. They also have a music room with many options, mirrors, carpet that is soft, inviting and cozy for the children. In addition, Gabriella meets with you via zoom, facetime, or over the phone to give you a full intake and explain you many things about the school, protocols, and their communication option. The most convenient way to communicate with the teachers was through brightwheel, which is an app that's easy to use and updates about what your kid is doing throughout the day. I in particular love getting pictures of my son! I was always waiting for the pictures and gave me a sense of relief when I saw how happy he was at school. The school also have incredible teachers, they are very sweet, understanding, loving, caring, and they love what they do. Primeros Pasos has been a great experience for us as parents and for my little one. You will love it here!

My husband and I highly recommend Primeros Pasos. Our daughter Milou attended the Centro Primero Pasos campus from the time they opened a few years ago. She was about 9 months old at the time and was in the infant room. Later she moved to the young preschool classroom at age 2. We only left Primeros Pasos because we moved out of the country in August 2021 right after our daughter turned three. So she spent a little over 2 years at PP. The campus itself is gorgeous. It was designed and built out especially for PP and was a labor of love for the director, Gabriella, who is very passionate about early childhood development. She was very thoughtful about designing the space so that each 'room' is built for the needs of that age group. The infants' room for example has a quiet napping area with mini cribs, and a kitchen with a fridge for the parents to provide milk/formula and a cute little row of high chairs. There's lots of great clean floor and mat space for tummy time and rolling around. Our daughter loved her time in the infant room! A big plus for the infant room is that the school even makes a basic homemade baby food puree each day so you only need to provide the milk and your child gets to try a good variety of healthy foods while at daycare. The Young Preschool room is equally great for toddlers 2 and up- complete with a row of kiddie potties for potty training. The whole center is shoe-free and spotless. There is also a nice sunny back yard that the children play in when the weather is nice. And there is a large play area (or gross motor area) inside with big sand box, play kitchen and other fun things that the different classes use. Our daughter was excited every day when we dropped her off. And every day when we picked her up she was happy and tired and you could usually tell from her clothes (sand, paint, etc) that they'd had an active day. The staff (the maestras) were excellent. And Gabriella, the director, was usually present on campus, always available via text or email, and very communicative to the parents as a whole about what is happening at the school. Our daughter was there during the onset of the pandemic when the daycare had to close from about March 2020 to June 2020. The school did a great job communicating throughout this period and then after reopening. There's too many great things to say here. In addition to the space and the staff, a few highlights would be: - the thoughtful 'curriculum' they provide each month - the diversity and inclusiveness of the center and the staff - the partnership and support that the maestras provide during potty training - the friendly parent community -the ease of the Bright Wheel app -the overall socialization and variety of experiences that the children receive every day -the school's commitment to language immersion We recommend PP to anyone looking for daycare or young preschool!

Centro Primeros Pasos Silver Park campus is a true gem in SF. The facility is amazing, the teachers are wonderful, and my child truly thrived there. We attended from June 2020 until July 2021 and he loved that place so much. We were so pleased with how he picked up Spanish and was so conversant with the teachers and other Spanish speakers. The Director has done an amazing job of instituting COVID safety protocols during a difficult time for parents and families. The culture is open and families of the other children in my son's class were all connected so we could share in our children's growth at Centro Primeros Pasos. I am truly grateful for the wonderful experience my child and family had there and would encourage you to look into enrollment there without hesitation.

Primeros Pasos is undoubtly an excellent daycare & preschool—for early education, social-emotional development and soooo much FUN. Both of my children attended before and during the pandemic (which was the true test of character for any organization). Gabriella (the Director) did everything she could to support the families, retain the staff and reopen quickly and safely during a very difficult time. The teachers are awesome and our kids have thrived there. Even though the school is large, the attention to detail and the personal relationship with parents make it feel like a family-run, small school.

Primeros Pasos is an exceptional preschool. Our 3-year-old daughter has advanced by leaps and bounds since she's been there, and in every dimension - her Spanish, of course, but also her ability to engage and collaborate with other kids; general gratitude, respect and politeness; letter and number recognition; her facility for arts and crafts; and much more. It's clear that she really enjoys it and loves her friends and teachers. It's a lot of fun to drive home with her after school and hear her stories about the day. The school is REALLY professionally run. Gabriella and her team are on it: communication is fast and clear, and you have the sense that they're a committed partner in the education and growth of your child. It's also a great space - large, safe, vibrant and well thought-through. Parking isn't too bad, either. Don't have a bad word to say about it. If you want to give your kid the advantage of language immersion while giving them a well-rounded educational experience, this is the place.

Our younger started in the infant room at Primeros Pasos when it opened. We heard about the facility from a friend who had their oldest child at their Glen Park location. They absolutely loved it. I was impressed at how clean and lovely the space turned out. My son is now two and in the young pre-school class. We took an extended leave with the COVID shelter in Place order. They worked with us on our plans and we were able to return in October. My son is so excited to go to school in the morning , yelling “school time!” on the way out the door. I’ve been impressed by the attention to the curriculum and activities the kids get to do. I also love how caring and engaged the teachers are.

Primeros Pasos has been great for our daughter! She started there when it opened and the facility itself is full of natural light, clean, and welcoming. It's a family run daycare and the directors/owners really care about each and every kid and providing excellent care. The real shining star of Primeros is the staff. Our daughter loves all of her teachers and they clearly love her (and all the kids) back. We chose Primeros because Gabriella (the director) said that when they hire teachers they look for individuals that really want to be there and build relationships with the kids and it really shows in the day-to-day interactions. Everyone also takes COVID-19 precautions very seriously. The teachers all wear masks, there is frequent hand washing, temperature checks, etc. Every tough decision (and I'm sure there have been many throughout the pandemic) is met with "What is best for the kids?"
