Developmentally Appropriate
Our teachers create a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. We prioritize individualized instruction and provide a range of hands-on activities that promote cognitive, social, and emotional development.

How we teach
A Unique Approach
Our teachers cultivate all of a child’s abilities: social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual.
Surrounded by nature
In the heart of the Presidio
Children flow freely from our spacious schoolhouse to our lovely outdoor play yard - and the park-like setting of the Presidio offers a unique opportunity for children to learn about the natural world.
