Holy Family Day Home

What Holy Family Day Home does

Holy Family Day Home (legal entity: Holy Family Day Homes of San Francisco; EIN 94-1156492) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1900 by the Sisters of the Holy Family, operating a single licensed early-childhood campus at 299 Dolores Street in San Francisco's Mission District. It serves children aged 18 months to 5 years from Bay Area low-income, homeless, and working families under a Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum, delivered through a 15,404 sq. ft. three-story facility opened in 2007 after a $7.1 million capital campaign. The core offering is a progressive, play-based early-childhood education program with dedicated tracks in early literacy, STEM, art (atelier), and outdoor education via an on-site community garden.

The organization layers wraparound family services onto the educational core: a food stability program with community pantry and weekly grocery distributions, a clothing program, health and nutrition services via San Francisco Department of Public Health and the federal CACFP nutrition program, mental health consulting through partner Instituto, alumni services, and a Virginia Fair Legacy Society for planned giving. It also serves as fiscal agent for the Season of Sharing program across San Francisco, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid nonprofit model combining monthly tuition (full-pay tiers of $2,974.40/month toddler and $2,379.30/month preschool for 2026-2027), income-eligible subsidized slots, foundation and corporate grants from more than 20 institutional funders, individual donations and planned gifts, corporate matching, and government reimbursements. Enrollment is rationed via a waitlist with State and City subsidy priorities; the organization is governed by a lay Board of Directors (since 1992) and is currently led by Interim Executive Director Carrie Blanding following a leadership transition.
