Playmates Cooperative Preschool is one of San Francisco's oldest parent cooperative preschools founded in 1950 and located in the Outer Sunset district. Grounded in developmentally appropriate, play-based learning, teachers and families together aspire to provide our kids with a hands-on environment that enhances cognitive, linguistic, physical, and social-emotional development. Our five dedicated teachers support a tight-knit community of diverse families with returning alumni each year. Playmates is structured to engage curiosity and foster the love of learning and exploration in our kids through our incredible campus, which includes a large sandbox, indoor climbing wall, bicycle track, chicken coop, multiple gardens, willow dome, art room, and more.
