GWIGGLES
play. learn. grow.
Welcome
Thank you for your interest in our program.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a place where all children feel safe and loved, and where they are able to learn in their own methods and at their own pace through play and exploration, as well as adult guidance. We strive to help build self awareness and confidence in all the children we work with by strengthening their self worth, their self regulation skills, and their ability to express themselves. We focus on helping our kids develop personal and social skills as learning opportunities come up throughout our daily activities. Children are encouraged to try new things, be bold, play, imagine, create, explore, and discover, and are guided by teachers who love them and help them grow by engaging them, and encouraging their independence.
About Gwiggles
Gwiggles is a family run early childhood education program that offers Preschool services for up to 12 children at a time. We have a teacher to child ratio of 1:4. Gwiggles accepts children ages 3-6 years old.
Gwiggles was founded in 2017 and is located in San Francisco's Mission Bay. Our program follows the Reggio Emilia teaching philosophy and is one of many organizations registered with N.A.R.E.A (the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance). The Reggio approach is rooted in the understanding that all children are infinitely capable, creative and intelligent, and values each child's opinions and individual rights. The Reggio Emilia teaching philosophy allows children to have a say in what they are learning and the methods in which they learn.
Our curriculum follows the Reggio approach to teaching and learning. The curriculum and activities are always changing and evolving, ensuring that our program grows with your child. Learning themes are based on the group's current interests. This approach helps keep the class interested and engaged in the daily activities.
