“I just don’t know how I would have coped without some guidance on applying for school - I was new to the city and so confused”
Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco and Children’s Council of San Francisco are proud to provide workshops to help families who live in San Francisco better understand the process of finding and applying for child care or preschool, and/or entering public schools.
Many organizations and companies are now providing this valuable resource to their employees. We’ll help guide your staff on how to find the child care or school that’s right for them.
Together we’ll address care philosophies, quality indicators, health and safety expectations and tips on navigating the application process. Our workshops—available in English, Spanish or Cantonese—will give your employees easy steps to find high quality early care and education for their children.
Topics include:
How does one type of child care program or preschool differ from another? What is their approach to care and learning for different developmental stages?
How can you tell the quality of the care or education your little one will receive?
How does the public school elementary school enrollment system work, and how do I apply/participate?
How do I wrap my head around all the differing enrollment/application deadlines, forms and policies?
