Sequoia Parents Nursery School (SPNS) is dedicated to play-based learning, where children engage in an age-appropriate, natural process of learning. Our preschool’s interactive educational process involves everyone: children, parents, and teachers.
parent community
We support the parenting journey. Not only do children grow, the caregivers learn and grow together as well. Caregivers build friendships and support each other when working side by side in a cooperative environment; it is in an interactive partnership with teachers contributing to their child’s first school experience.
Through its affiliation with Sequoia District Adult Education, the preschool provides coaching and support by way of teacher-facilitated discussions based on parents' observations, and current early childhood education resources on topics including positive discipline, effective communication, child growth and development, handling transitions, limit-setting and more.
Most importantly, Sequoia families have a wonderful time together and build friendships that can - in our experience - last a lifetime.
children’s classes
Our preschool is designed for children age 16 months through age 5.
The preschool provides large indoor and outdoor spaces, complete with developmentally appropriate equipment so that children can get down to the business of play.
Each class schedule is designed to offer children freedom to explore based on their interests, and to practice skills. Some teacher-guided group activities are offered each week.
SPNS has successfully prepared children for admission to kindergarten since 1970!
learning through play
Our approach to early learning is rooted in developmentally appropriate values.
Dedicated to play-based learning, we offer ample time and an array of materials and learning spaces for children to explore and practice. We believe that play is the work of children, and it is through play that children learn and understand the world around them.
This hands-on learning approach fosters the whole child -intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally.
