Precious Treasures only takes 5 children, maximum -- an amount that has long been held as the best group size for children. Starting family child care between 3 and 6 months of age and leaving between 4 and 5 years of age provides the best quality care and education for each child physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and psychologically. After 5 years of age, family child care enables parents to work and play while children are kept safe, well fed, entertained, and educated.

At Precious Treasures...
...We encourage creativity, individuality, and independence by providing an environment filled with love, patience, and kindness and a curriculum flexible enough to include specific interests and developmental needs.
...We believe children thrive best when love and routine are provided, so we create monthly schedules for events and activities – all focused on the children’s developing needs and interests.
...We also provide age-appropriate books, indoor and outdoor equipment, and educational materials – all in a fun and safe environment. Along with teacher instruction, each child has many opportunities to learn and grow at his own pace – allowing mastery of skills in his own space and time.
Precious Treasures has the experience and training needed for infants and toddlers. We set our standards high, but we know you would not want anything less.
While there are a number of competitors in the market (and in the area), none provide the range of services we offer with such a focused approach, for such a small group and competitive price.
Precious Treasures is a play-based childcare -- children learn best through play. We take the children to a variety of places (San Francisco Zoo, California Academy of Sciences, Children's Fairyland, OMCA, local libraries and festivals, East Bay Regional Parks, seasonal locales, etc.) so they can interact with their world, socialize, and get dirty!


We are located in safe and beautiful Richmond Heights. A few blocks to the 80 and a few minutes to the BART or 580, we are able to serve you wherever you are headed.

We have a full secured property with both front and backyard gardens. Toys, books, activities, and crafts abound for children of all ages.

Children will care for what they love. They will also eat what they plant. Everyone has regular opportunities to choose plants, dig around in the dirt, water, harvest, and eat!

With chickens...

...quails...

...and ducks, children get a chance to care for and touch these critters to learn about patience and kindness. They supply all of our eggs and are amazing for stress relief!
