Come to our Open House! September 20th 10:00-12:00. Children Welcome!
Since 1947, parents and children have been sharing the joy of learning together at San Mateo Parents' Nursery School (SMPNS). Our goal is to make each school day a successful learning experience for every child by providing many enriching experiences in a balanced program that embraces intellectual, social-emotional and physical development in the preschool-age child.
We offer a high-quality, play-based program that is developmentally appropriate for preschool-age children. Our program is led by highly-qualified, certified teachers. SMPNS provides a child-centered, play-oriented preschool program for children from two and a half to five years old. We believe that young children learn best when they actively explore their environment through play and that young children are intrinsically motivated to do so when the environment supports this type of learning. We believe that young children's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development are inter-related.
What better way to see if a school is the right fit than by letting your child explore the space? A teacher will guide you through the school and answer your questions during a co-op morning. Tours do not need to be scheduled.
Swing by from 9:30-10:30 any morning the school is open.
