Opening Early 2027 at 1187 Franklin Street:
A year-round program for children 0–5
Our third home is on its way, and applications are open now!
A Note from Jen
Something wonderful is growing.
For years, Tiny Giants has been a second home for San Francisco families: first on Clay Street, then on Filbert.
In early 2027, we're opening our doors at 1187 Franklin Street: a brand-new center built from the ground up for children ages 0 to 5, offering warm, year-round care and learning from a child's very first months all the way to kindergarten.
Franklin Street will be everything families know and love about Tiny Giants, the teachers who know every child by name, the daily hellos and goodbyes at the door, the songs, the circle times, the art on every wall, in a space designed for it from day one.
We can't wait to welcome you in.
— Jen Silver, Founder & Executive Director
What Franklin Street Offers:
Ages 0–5, all under one roof at 1187 Franklin Street. Infant care through pre-kindergarten, so your child can grow up at Tiny Giants, and siblings can be together at one site.
Year-round care. Franklin Street runs all year, built around the real rhythms of working families.
The full Tiny Giants experience. Our homegrown curriculum is developmentally appropriate, dynamic, and intentional, led by teachers trained in the Tiny Giants way.
