Precious Babes Family Daycare has been such a gift to our family. On her very first day, our two-year-old was hesitant to go—but by the second day, she was so excited that she put on her backpack (still in her pajamas!) and was ready to head out the door. That kind of turnaround says everything! Tammy and her team provide such a loving, warm, and enriching environment. Our daughter was not only well-fed, well-rested, and well-cared for—she also got to go on wonderful outings, and was exposed to the beauty of Chinese culture through songs, food, and language. It was incredible to see how much she absorbed and enjoyed. The communication was excellent—we got frequent photos and updates that helped us feel so connected and reassured. It’s clear that every child at Precious Babes is truly seen and valued. We’re so grateful for the love and care our daughter received. I can't recommend Precious Babes Family Daycare enough!

I cannot recommend Tammy and her family enough for childcare! If you need a family daycare in North Beach, go for this one, hands down. We considered others in the neighborhood and are so happy we chose Tammy. Our daughter has been going since the day she turned 6 months. We are first-time parents and it was hard choosing a place we trust. Language has not been an issue,, we don't speak Mandarin or Cantonese, but text communication is very quick and clear. Tammy texts in English. Tammy is absolutely amazing. You can tell she genuinely cares for the kids and I know my daughter adores her too. Tammy was also incredibly helpful with tips like what bottle to get or sleeping bag in the beginning. She is always very attentive to milestones and preferences. We don't have family nearby, and Tammy has been an absolute gem, always flexible with pick up time or in the morning. She and her sister have even helped out on weekends! I honestly cannot recommend them enough. If we weren't moving, our daughter would continue to go to this daycare until preschool as she is so happy there and so well taken care of. I would have also loved for her to have learned Mandarin too!

Our son has been going to Tammy since June 2023 and we love it! We started when my son was 1yr 9 mos and now he is almost 3.5yrs. Tammy is so patient and kind, and engaging with the kids. They go to playgrounds and take walks around North Beach, Chinatown, and Fisherman’s Wharf. Before we started at Precious Babes I took care of my son full time and would see Tammy and her kids at our neighborhood playground all the time. I could see firsthand how good she was with them. Her sisters run another daycare in the unit below (same building) so they combine play lot when they go outside. I like that this allows for more social interactions amongst the children. I speak Cantonese with her but we normally text in English. She mostly speaks Mandarin and Cantonese with my son during the day and I love that he is benefitting from the language exposure. There are a number of English only speaking families at the daycare and I believe they have no problems with communication. I highly recommend Tammy and her Precious Babes daycare!

I cannot say enough good things about Tammy and the related Starry Family daycare. I have only one child who has been going to Tammy’s since she was five months old. As a first time mom, it was a big leap of faith to spend so much of the day away from my kid, but Tammy and her family quickly instilled a sense of confidence and trust that cannot be understated. When my daughter is in Tammy’s care, I feel as secure as though she were in my own - that is how much I trust and admire these women. My daughter speaks so happily and with so much affection about Tammy and her family, but also all the other children at daycare. I am already sad knowing that someday she will age out to preschool instead of being with a team that so diligently teaches, engages, and loves her so much. Thank you, Tammy!

Tammy and the team at Precious Babes have absolutely been a positive life-changer for our family of two little ones! We initially learned of Precious Babes through Starry Family (mentioned in another review) which our older child attended from one-year through pre-school. During that initial tenure, the family behind Starry Family decided to expand to offer a nursery under a separate license and dedicated facility, but with the same love and care that families of Starry Family were accustomed to. Fortunately, Precious Babes was up and running by the time our second child was ready for childcare. Tammy's facility is everything we've loved about Starry Family – frequent updates to parents, highly nutritious food, safe and productive outings, and very happy children in general (see my review for Starry Family) – but catered specifically to a younger set of children. We continue to bring our child across the city for their childcare at Precious Babes, but the difficult commute is a small cost compared to the value and peace of mind we get from having our child in the care of Tammy and Precious Babes. As with Starry Family, most of the in-person communication between child and provider is in Chinese, but communication with parents is transaction smoothly and understandably in written English. We've had zero issues communicating via text in English and responses are always very prompt. Having a few years under our belts as parents, we've had some good exposure to the range of childcare options in San Francisco. We continue to hold Precious Babes as the standard bearer and would highly recommend their services to any parents seeking a safe, caring environment for their littlest ones.

Precious Babes Family Childcare (which is run in conjunction with Starry Family Child Care) with Mei, Suzanne, and Tammy has been the best for our kids. We sent our oldest daughter there for a year from August 2021 to September 2022 (2-3 years old) and then when she moved on to preschool we swapped in our second oldest (son) who’s been there since. In addition, we also on occasion have relied on them for weekend/evening babysitting services. Our kids have made great friends and they have always looked forward to daycare every day with all the toys, meals, and frequent park visits. As parents we also appreciated the reports they sent us with diet, nap, and potty information along with many cute pictures of them playing. We could not be happier and we would enthusiastically recommend this daycare to other parents.
