Congratulations to our 19 Pre-K graduates! 🎓

Last week, families gathered to celebrate with a song performance and an opportunity to share what they want to be when they grow up producing special moments like one kiddo sharing, “I want to be a teacher when I grow up…to help kids like us.” 👩‍🏫

At Family Connections, Pre-K is so much more than childcare. Through play, natural exploration, and a project-based curriculum, children build the social-emotional, cognitive, language, and fine motor skills that prepare them for kindergarten, and the rest of their life.

A huge thank you to our dedicated teachers, as well as the room parents who either helped out in the classrooms, read to the children, or joined a special field trip - your presence make a difference. 💓

✨Now enrolling in our Excelsior Pre-K program for fully potty-trained children ages 3-5!

Treats, sweets, and good deeds! 🥠

Our Pre-K and Homework Club just finished a recipe of their own creation - a delicious bake sale held outside two of our centers on Mission St and San Bruno Ave!

All together, they raised $1,080 for Friends of the San Francisco Publjc Library - to say thank you to our incredible librarians for bringing the magic of story time to our classrooms and more!

Swipe through and read below to see how they are building real-world skills and confidence:

🍪 Slide 1: “Cookie! Cookie! Bake Sale!” - our tiny bakers proudly calling out to neighbors and visitors
🧑‍🍳 Slide 2: Mixing dough, decorating treats, and practicing outreach (starting with FCC staff)
📣 Slide 3: Handcrafted flyers helped kiddos walk the streets to spread the word to local businesses and neighbors
💙 Slide 4: Bake sale day brings full tummies, messy hands/faces, and memories to last forever

We’re so proud of their teamwork and the confident conversations that led to such a sweet success! And a HUGE thank you to our teachers for supporting our youngest learners along the way and encouraging creativity in real-world settings!

You all BAKE this world a better place 🤍🧁

This week, we’re celebrating the teachers in our community — all the way from early care educators to afterschool teachers, movement instructors, cooking facilitators, workshop leaders + partner organizations, and the staff who continue to make learning possible every single day. ✨

Thank you for the care, patience, creativity, and wisdom you pour into helping children and families feel seen, supported, and confident in themselves and the world around them. We’re especially grateful for educators who reflect the cultures, languages, and lived experiences of the families we serve, because representation matters deeply.

Thank you for all that you do. 👨‍🏫👩‍🏫 You show up every day with so much energy and passion, and your impact will never be forgotten.

Teaching is truly a work of heart. 💛✏️
Show some love to a teacher in your life this week!
