About us
Family-owned care, right in the neighborhood
Mary's Daycare is a family-owned, licensed child care home in Foster City, just minutes from San Mateo. For 21 years, Mary has cared for neighborhood children as if they were her own, in a warm, safe home where little ones can grow at their own pace.
Days balance play-based learning with structured activities that support each child's physical, emotional, and social development. Because we're a warm, loving home daycare, every child gets individual attention, and every parent knows exactly who is caring for their child.
Home-cooked, balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, milk, and proteins are part of what makes the day feel like family.
