C5 operates two early childhood development and learning centers in the Civic Center area of San Francisco. Both of our centers’ buildings look onto City Hall and City Hall Park. They are our Infant-Toddler Center and our Preschool Center. The centers are within easy walking distance of each other and of San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza. Both sites are accessible to Muni light rail on Market Street, BART at the Civic Center Station, and city buses 47, 49, 31, 5, and 19.
