School Philosophy and Mission
We strive to maintain a program where parents can be part of a supportive community while learning about child development and actively being co-teachers at their children's school. We validate each child as an individual and support their need to explore and discover the world in an enriched, nurturing environment. We try to provide a place where children and families thrive - a place where children begin to grow into strong, compassionate people.

Typical Day-In-The-Life At This School
Put lunch away in cubby.
Scope the inside and outside area to see what you want to do. Hook up with friends - dive in!
Snack time, we wash hands and have a brief focus activity before eating.
After snack kids either come into the 'Good Morning' room for a focus time of news telling, story telling, etc., or go out to play or stay in the main room for more projects.
Continued free play until lunch when we again wash our hands, sit down with our lunch boxes, and have a brief focus activity before eating.

A Season of Rituals
Darkest December is upon us, and we are all preparing, in our different ways, to light it up with rituals. Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's. Parties, tree lightings, and holiday cards. Visits with family. Feasts, gifts, and candles.

99 Things to Do In San Francisco Before Kindergarten, Part 8: Sticking Around the House Like a San Franciscan
I'm closing in on the this list of a hundred things every San Francisco kid must do. This week, I thought I'd stay at home and write up some S.F.-inflected indoor activities. 71. Have a face-painting and dressup party. (Nothing says San Francisco like a feather boa.) 72. Make homemade presents
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Get large plastic buckets (or sand buckets if you have lots of really little toys )in a variety of solid colors (red, blue, yellow, green, pink). Ask your child to clean up his/her toys by putting the toys in the bucket corresponding to the color bucket. Great for teaching personal responsibility, color identification, and sorting.
