On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in San Francisco's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.
Rainy-day fallback: most of this age's listings in San Francisco run indoors at Main Library — warm, dry, and built for short attention spans.

Common questions
What's on in San Francisco for toddlers right now?
The feed lists 185 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 7 to Nov 7 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.
Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
What's free for toddlers in San Francisco?
None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
