A Parent's Frustration Became a Community's Solution
In 2018, our founder Fanny was on seven different daycare waitlists for her infant daughter. The places that had openings felt institutional. The quality play-based programs she wanted had 18-month waits. And none of them were close to Taylor Street, where she worked.
So Fanny — a former early childhood educator with 12 years of classroom experience — opened Amores Daycare. She started with six infants, two teachers, and a beautifully prepared room on the third floor of a building two blocks from BART.
Eight years later, Amores serves over 60 families across multiple classrooms and now includes after-school care. But the original mission hasn't changed: create the kind of play-based learning environment you'd actually want for your own child — rigorous, warm, joyful, and designed for the reality of San Francisco family life.
