A warm, nurturing family daycare where your child is loved, guided, and celebrated every single day. From infants to preschool-ready kids, every child is cared for here.
Linda has been caring for Daly City families for over a decade. She started this program because she believes every child deserves to feel truly seen, not just supervised. What began as a calling became a community, and the children who grew up here still come back just to visit Aunty Linda.
Because Linda keeps her group intentionally small, she can give each child the kind of individual attention that a large facility simply cannot offer. She learns each child's personality, what comforts them, what excites them, and what they need on any given day. Every decision she makes starts with one question: what is right for this child?
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Linda is trilingual in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. For families who want it, she can incorporate Cantonese or Mandarin into daily interactions and activities. For families who prefer English only, that is the default and there is no obligation to opt in.
Because the group is small, Linda can adapt to where each child actually is, not just their age. STEM exploration and play-based learning are part of every day. Chinese language instruction is available as an opt-in for families who choose it.
Gentle, attentive care built around each baby's own rhythm. Tummy time, sensory play, and a warm, familiar face from day one. Chinese language songs available for families who opt in.
First steps, first words, growing independence. Play-based activities encourage early STEM curiosity through sorting, stacking, and cause-and-effect exploration. Chinese language instruction available on request.
Art, music, and hands-on STEM projects that invite children to ask questions and discover at their own pace. Chinese language instruction can be incorporated for interested families.
Letters, numbers, early science concepts, and strong literacy foundations to help children feel prepared and comfortable as they approach kindergarten.
One-on-one academic support tailored to each child's needs and pace. Patient, encouraging, and genuinely individualized. Chinese language tutoring also available.
Having siblings together eases transitions and keeps kids comfortable. Linda works with each child according to their own stage and needs, regardless of age.
Children are constantly growing and becoming more independent. Establishing a daily routine that includes "choice time" helps build their confidence and supports self-expression. Engaging in play-based activities can also support the development of motor skills, creativity, problem-solving, and social abilities, helping lay a foundation for future learning.
Linda's Children Daycare is open Monday through Friday. Drop-off and pick-up are flexible within operating hours, and the location near the I-280 exit makes the commute easy for busy families.
