Always Learning and Growing Day Care

Carlene is the best! We waited 5 months I think to snag a spot here and it was so worth the wait. She is so kind, creates a great schedule with lots of variety for the kids (activities and the menu), and we really felt like we were dropping our son off with family. She is forthcoming with anything and everything that is happening that day with all the kids, which was a big change from our previous in-​home day care provider which told us nothing about our child’s day. Our son frequently came home with little art projects and was always in the best mood when we picked him up.
We ended up moving to a different state about 6 months after we started going to Always Learning and Growing and our son still to this day (5 months after our move) talks about his friends and Carlene in San Francisco. I am hoping to find another Carlene here in our new city because I don’t think I could settle for anything less now.

its tough figuring out daycare and schools for kids. Most parents have to leave their kids with people who they really don’t know.
This is how i felt 2 years ago when i took my son to Carlene… a leap of faith that proved to be a great choice for our son.
He was ~1 yr old and the youngest kid there when he started.
I believe that he learned a lot from Carlene and the other slightly older kids. For example;
one day he came home talking about taking turns and sharing, another time he came home with a great deal of interest in using the potty.
now he is only there 1x week and probably the oldest one there at 3.2 yrs. Now we talk about how he can help the other kids learn to share and how he can be a good example.
A mother of 2 herself, Carlene has proven to be conscientious and caring.
Activities and other great things i love about «Always Learning and growing day care»; Yoga/​movement time, singing and music day, quality food.
“‘note the address listed is only an approximation““. I have noticed that a lot of daycare facilities do not list the address for safety reasons.
so until i get the OK from Carlene i will say the the facility is very close to 42 and balboa st
a super high recommendation for Always learning and growing day care!!!
