Peter's Place Nursery School

Children learn through play, exploration, and problem-solving at this preschool in San Francisco's Inner Richmond. The program supports social, emotional, cognitive, expressive, and physical development, with activities that encourage language and literacy, creative growth, self-understanding, and learning to work and play with peers. Teachers help children recognize and manage emotions, develop friendships, and build skills for moving on from preschool. Play is central to the school's approach. Founded in 1974, Peter's Place serves children and families from San Francisco's varied communities and cultures, valuing each child's individual background and pace of development. Its specialties include play-based learning and social-emotional development.
