Located in the vibrant heart of the Mission. Puddle Jumpers Workshop was founded in 2008 by a group of parents from The Little People's Workshop.
Puddle Jumpers Workshop is one of San Francisco's oldest parent-run daycare cooperatives, catering to children ages 18 months to 3 years and inspired by the play-based Reggio Emilia philosophy.

Have you considered a co-op for your childcare needs?
The Co-op model is a brilliant way to transition from having your Little One with you at home full-time into attending school solo.
We get to be a part of their daily lives still, while also encouraging the independence they'll need in a year or two when they go to Kindergarten and Grade 1.

A while back, we were happy to be featured in the Golden Gate Mothers Group Magazine. It was all about one family’s journey in navigating San Francisco Childcare.

We know how stressful navigating childcare is in times of COVID, but we've found that our little "Pod" of toddlers has been a source of community and stability in these unusual times.
Puddle Jumpers is one of the longest-running parent-run co-operatives in San Francisco, based in the heart of The Mission. We have spots open now and rolling enrollment year-round.

We know how stressful navigating childcare is in times of COVID. But our small size (never more than 8 kids per day) makes us well suited to these troubled times. We emphasize free play, positive learning experiences, unconditional caring, and good nutrition. We have a dynamic professional teacher, and daily activities like reading, puppetry, music, art projects, gardening, cooking and more. We value diversity, open-mindedness, inclusiveness, and creativity. The rates are very affordable, but parents play a big role.
If you have the flexibility to be involved (from half a day per week), the co-op structure gives you a chance to see your kid's day-to-day growth. The co-op is also a wonderful opportunity to make friends with fellow parents, problem-solve collectively and create community – especially rewarding in these times of social distancing.

We know how stressful navigating childcare in times of COVID is. But our small size (never more than 8 kids in a group) makes us well suited to these troubled times.
If you have a toddler around 18 months to 2 years old and are looking to join a small daycare and meet an amazing community of parents, Puddle Jumpers is accepting new families. If you have the flexibility to be able to play a role (from half a day per week), the Co-op structure gives you a chance to get more involved with your kid's day-to-day growth, a community of fellow parents, and also offers much cheaper daycare than the usual.
