Both of my daughters have attended Good Samaritan and I've always said this place is a hidden gem! They have comparably low tuition (qualify for the SF subsidies), Spanish immersion, provided meals, and great hours. We've loved this program so much. I believe they take kids 2.5yrs and up. Some details: Spanish and English Dual Language Immersion Program Hours are 8am-5:30pm Meals and snacks are included! Two locations- 1294 Potrero Ave and 2050 Folsom with lovely classroom setups and dedicated play areas. Amazing and kind teachers with very low turnover. Reliable schedule- they don't take random weeks off in the summer. They have certain teachers dedicated to speaking only Spanish and others only English so that children from both backgrounds can learn. My daughter just took the SFUSD language assessment and passed easily. All in all a lovely and trusting place to send your little one.

Good Samaritan Family Resource Center Potrero has been such a positive and amazing experience for our family. All teachers and staff are so kind, helpful and communicative. I really appreciate the daily reports and updates and photos regarding my child's activities in school. My child looks forward to going to preschool here every day, we are very happy and thankful to be able to attend this school.

We love Good Sam! We choose GS because it offers Spanish immersion, but also the hours are great, and they provides breakfast, lunch and snacks for the kiddos. We also liked that Potrero, which has kiddo 2.8yrs - 3yrs old or so, was very play based. The 1st week in, the kids were learning about their veins and organs in a very fun way! I was also very impressed that they have a teacher who is skilled in child psychology and is available to help us new parents navigate new behavior changes. We also love the monthly field trips, which allow us to get to know other families and parents. Even more, Good Sam holds regular monthly meetings and pot luck get togethers for the families. The teachers and staff are exceptionally friendly and caring! We are not at their Folsom site, and its more academic. The kids are learning their letters and how to write their names. Our kiddo even passed the fluency exam for SFUSD Spanish placement, which I can only attribute to Good Sam teaching! We cannot recommend them enough.
