Little Worlds Workshop is a home-based preschool in the wonder filled Glen Park neighborhood. We are purposefully small. Each school day is attended by a maximum of twelve kids and there will be three teachers present each morning. This small size and small child to teacher ratio allows us to provide the unique personalized learning environment that makes this community special.
Our program is for children 2.5 years to 5 years old. The school week is Monday – Friday and our day begins at 8:30am. Our day ends at 5:30pm Monday- Thursday and 4:30pm on Fridays. Most children attend 5 days a week. We have limited availability for families who wish to attend 2 or 3 days a week. Our school year starts on August 30, 2021 and runs year round. We are closed for three weeks in August (a two week summer break and a week of teacher in-service) before the next school year begins the last week of August. For holiday and school closures, we follow the SFUSD schedule. See our school schedule page for more information.
