About Our School
Report
Almaden Parents' Pre-school was founded in 1969 by a group of parents in south San Jose who wanted to participate in their children's early childhood education. They formulated a philosophy that was based on sequential intellectual (or cognitive) development. The parents wanted to be present with their children and witness their growth and new discoveries, and used a co-op preschool model.
Why a Co-op Preschool
Report
There is undoubtedly something special about a cooperative preschool. Our children come to play, to learn, and to grow in social skills. It is also a place where parents can learn more about their children and their important role as parents. In our child-centered environment, your child will grow and develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
2021-22 School Year
Report
We are planning a return to the classroom for the 2021-2022 school year, and will be offering all 4 classes for children from 18 months to 5 years old. Please look over our class descriptions to see which ones would fit your child.
While we plan on opening in person and on campus for the new school year, parent participation may vary - from in-person on campus, to at home activities that support the classroom (for example, preparing art projects, bringing toys home to clean, etc.).
