About this preschool

Banana Fana Preschool is a Spanish immersion preschool with two locations in San Francisco (Mission District and Ingleside/Oceanview). The program emphasizes hands-on learning, social-emotional development, and outdoor play with approximately 2 hours daily outside time.

Philosophy
Children learn through direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas in Spanish and English. The program believes that with cooperative play and creative activities, children reach their social, emotional, and physical milestones naturally. Teachers provide emotional and intellectual support while allowing children to make and pursue their own decisions, helping them become independent, responsible, and confident for school and life readiness.
Outdoor
Children spend about 2 hours of their day in outdoor play in a beautiful backyard with ample space for running, skipping, and jumping.
