Highest Quality Early Education and Day Care

Wu Yee Centers

Our Centers Offer Head Start and Early Head Start

Head Start is a program of the United States Government that helps young children from low-income families prepare to succeed in school through local programs.

Head Start and Early Head Start programs promote children’s development through services that support early learning, health, and family well-being.

Center Based Child Care is Structured and Comprehensive​

Wu Yee’s Center Based Program serves families with children from 3 months through age 5 with full-day, year-round, comprehensive services in licensed early learning centers.

Our Programs Offer the Highest Standard of Early Education

Wu Yee’s Early Learning Program fosters children’s individual growth and development. Our curriculum is play-based and designed to grow with each child. We support cultural diversity and dual language learning. We also work with families to help them thrive and succeed.

Creative Curriculum

We use Creative Curriculum to provide strategies for addressing the needs of all children, including dual language learners and those who have special needs.

Excellent Teachers and Staff

All teaching staff meet California Commission of Teacher Credentialing Permit requirements and the adult-child ratios in our center based program are compliant with California Title 5 regulations. We believe in creating a warm, safe and stable environment for all of our children, families, volunteers, guests and staff.

Diverse, Multicultural, Multilingual SF

This means that we combine nurturing early education practices, strategies, and philosophies while honoring each child’s family and cultural background. We bring it all together by mixing learning with engagement so children learn from us, their families, and each other!

We pride ourselves on accessibility. Our early learning centers are available in various SF neighborhoods.
