City Kids is a private hands-on, play-based preschool serving San Francisco in the Russian Hill Area. We support both Reggio Emilia and Montessori styles in the classroom.

We offer a supported, yet flexible curriculum that starts from the start of our school year in August that follows us through the end of the school year in July. We celebrate all special days and events. We also participate in non-profit, community building programs as well. We service 12 to 14 children a day from the ages 2-5 years old.
