Attending First School in Palo Alto has been a tradition for local families for over 40 years. First School is a hidden gem just minutes from downtown Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Town, and Country Village, the Stanford Campus, and Stanford Shopping Center.  It offers an emerging play-based curriculum for 2-6-year-olds and aftercare. The curriculum focuses on creativity, innovation, and exploration with solid kindergarten preparation. This, combined with a strong social and emotional emphasis and student diversity allows us to foster each child’s individual growth. Check out our Yelp and Facebook pages, then call for a tour to learn firsthand how you could be part of the First School Family.

Family

 Attending First School in Palo Alto has been a tradition for local families for over 40 years. We record and notify parents throughout the school time of all of the day's events and learning milestones via Brightwheel, an interactive platform for early education.

Focused

First School has daily academic learning, group activities, and small group sessions for students to fully enjoy their learning experience and practice their social and emotional skills. Wednesday is Library Day in our beautiful on-site Children's Library. Each day holds a surprise activity.

Friendly

First School students come from many , countries, languages, and cultures, providing a strong, stable environment of cooperation and communication.

 

Fun

 As a small, friendly, and fun center with mixed ages, First School encourages children to grow and learn from each other as well as their teachers. While children do several areas of work as a group we also have an age-appropriate curriculum. We address and identify the different domains and milestones each day for our families.
