About Us
Tilly’s Tots was founded in 2022 by owner/director, Tilly. Tilly adores children and has worked in the professional childcare field for 10+ years. Our infant ratios are 2:1, and our toddler ratios are 3:1.
In the early 1900’s, the building was Noe Valley’s neighborhood market. Since then, the zoning of the was switched from commercial to residential. Although we are technically a residential in-home daycare, Tilly’s Tots resembles a commercial facility. Tilly’s Tots is operating in the space previously known as Timothy Mouse House, which successfully operated for 20+ years. We’re excited to carry on the legacy of childcare in this space, and thrilled to be a part of Noe Valley.
We love our community and are committed to our children. We aim to create a tight knit community of families with our family events, hosted once every other month. We’re committed to our children and offer a robust and well-rounded schedule in order to keep them engaged in school and to prepare them for grade school. Each week, every child participates in cooking classes, music class, science class, story time, age specific lessons, neighborhood walks, gardening, sensory play, and imaginative play. Our goal is to provide an environment for your child to learn, play, and create long-lasting relationships.

What sets Tilly’s Tots apart from other schools?
We offer the professionalism of a commercial facility with the communal feel of an in-home facility. We have one of the most spacious facilities in Noe Valley- namely, our own private backyard, and a separate room for napping. We have three additional classrooms, offering plenty of space for your little ones to learn and play. We offer a blend of what most parents desire: an introduction to STEM activities, cooking classes, different types of outdoor play, creative arts and music, and academic rigor with our daily curriculum. We are one of the only facilities to offer in-depth progress reports for children under 5 years. On top of that, we have regular events every other month to ensure parents get an opportunity to meet and have playdates for their children.
