How SFRCC Works

  • SFRCC is operated by the International Child Resource Institute (ICRI).
  • ICRI offers high quality programs targeted to the specific developmental needs of infants, toddlers, preschool and pre-K children.
  • All programs use play-based Emergent Curriculum methods to explore language, art, science, music, social studies, mathematics and physical tasks.
  • Infant and toddler programs provide sensory and language opportunities designed to help children discover and explore at their level.

  • Preschool programs encourage children to learn through opportunities to explore, create, invent, hypothesize, test and discover in a warm, open environment.
