Potrero Kids Daniel Webster Preschool

History

When we, the Potrero Residents Education Fund (PREFund), first envisioned Potrero Kids at Daniel Webster (PKDW), we imagined not only a respected preschool providing the highest quality care and learning environment for children, but also a neighborhood hub, where families could make new friends, find a supportive community and bring new vitality to the campus of Daniel Webster Elementary School (DW). We believe vibrant, local schools are essential for building and maintaining diverse, stable communities with deep roots. PKDW was established in 2008 through the joint efforts of PREFund and Mission Neighborhood Centers, Inc. (MNC). As part of its long-term plan to help revitalize DW, PREFund proposed creating a preschool onsite to both inspire community involvement at DW and increase preschool availability in an underserved area. In July 2009, PREFund assumed operation of Potrero Kids. In 2010, Potrero Kids became a Preschool For All site after passing a rigorous evaluation process. Pr
