In addition to receiving numerous recognitions from the City of San Francisco and other respected entities, SOMACC has proudly earned the prestigious “Top-Rated Award” from GreatNonprofits every year since 2014. This honor reflects our unwavering commitment to our mission and our continued service to the community through vital early education and family support programs.

The Mimi and Peter Haas Fund has recognized both of our schools as “Model Centers” for high-quality, culturally responsive, and developmentally appropriate early childhood education—Yerba Buena Gardens Child Development Center (YBG CDC) since 2005, and Transbay Child Development Center (TB CDC) since 2022.

Additionally, YBG CDC has been voted “Best Child Care in San Francisco” in the San Francisco Examiner’s Annual Readers’ Choice Awards from 2015 to 2017. In 2019, it was also honored by the Yerba Buena Alliance as the “Guardian of the Gardens,” recognizing its long-standing role in nurturing children and supporting families in the neighborhood.
