"This was definitely a love at first sight situation, and we are still so happy and grateful every single day! Every interaction at SOMACC is a joy for us and our daughter, and we love seeing the daily app updates of all the fun activities her classroom hosts: pumpkin painting, enjoying new foods, infant drawing class, book-mobile & too much else to name. The pictures/videos are so appreciated (some are SO funny) and really help us feel involved in her learning & growth. Thank you to everyone at SOMACC for your time, kindness & compassion!"

"I can't say enough about this place, it's truly the best thing that has happened to our family. My 2 kids had the opportunity to be here and they have been so happy. It's not only a beautiful place full of love and support for kids but also a place that is constantly helping us parents to have the right tools to educate while also offering a great community involvement. Every kid deserves being at this beautiful place."

"My daughter has been attending SOMACC since she was 4 months and is now almost 2. She has grown so much under the care and love of the staff there. The teachers are amazing and work so hard in helping the children and making engaging curriculums. The children have both indoor and outdoor environments that caters to their development and interests. They have special programs such as music classes and going on fields trips to the bookmobile, children’s museum, and even Bay Area Discovery Museum! It’s not easy to take care of little ones, but the teachers make it seems like a piece of cake. As the saying goes “it takes a village to raise a child” and Somacc has become our village."

"Every time I found work and life so difficult, I would think of SOMACC as a bright spot. This place has consistently taking a warm place in our heart for taking care of our kids in the best way possible. The teachers nurtured the kids in their own natural pace. Boys and girls laughed with joy whenever they stepped into the schools. Seeing them growing up with confidence and surrounded by lovely friends was all I ever wished for."

"Somacc has helped my family in may more ways that just teaching and caring for my only child. All of the programs available through the family resource center are astonishing. The teachers and staff are the only people I trust with my loved one. The environment is welcoming and vibrant. Love this place."

"We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to send our two children to SOMACC YBG. Our family has been at the school for five years, and the experience has been truly wonderful. The teachers and staff are loving skilled. Everything about the school is designed to support the children of working families from a wide variety of backgrounds. From the airy urban oasis of a campus, to the full-time schedule, to dental checks, to services in many languages, SOMACC walks the walk. I have worked in nonprofits and in education my entire career and have never encountered an organization that so embodies the best of what our diverse society and community could be. I will be eternally grateful for the opportunity to be part of the wonderful school."

"Two kids and 9+ years later, we are still so grateful for SOMACC. We loved it so much that even after moving to the Glen Park area we commuted in. Although it’s in the heart of SF, the school is peaceful and the children benefit from plenty of outdoor time because it’s on the roof. And yes! There are grassy areas and play structures to enjoy. Teachers are very kind and truly care for the children. Healthy meals and snacks are provided. We also experienced SOMACC during the height of the pandemic and I was very pleased with their response. With two younglings and aging parents we take safety protocols seriously and SOMACC did great. I wish SFUSD had followed their model!"

"I thank my lucky stars EVERY SINGLE DAY that my two children have the opportunity to learn and explore at this amazing school with the most dedicated, loving, patient, and creative teachers I have ever met. The sense of relief I have knowing that the most precious humans in the world (my children) are receiving outstanding care and instruction all day while I'm away is beyond priceless. Thank you, SOMACC, for everything you do!!!"

"Both of my grandchildren attend SOMACC and I can’t give the school anything but rave reviews. The quality of educational opportunities as well as the positive social development they continue to receive is exceptional. As an educator, I continue to be impressed with how the teachers assist with discovery and are supportive of creative learning. What a wonderful nurturing environment. I have witnessed my grandchildren become independent, confident, creative and equipped to navigate the challenges they face today."

"SOMACC is a little oasis for children in the middle of San Francisco. The teachers and staff have so much respect for children, and they show it not only in their daily interactions but in the decisions they make as an organization. The facilities support a truly diverse community, and from my own experience I can say that my son gained a love of school, teachers, and community through his time as a preschooler at SOMACC."
