Almaden Parents' Preschool (APPS) in San Jose is a parent participation (or co-op) preschool with a 50+ year history of providing exceptional education in a supportive, creative and safe environment. Through play-based learning, the disciplines of literature, science, art, math, culinary arts, music and creativity are unlocked. Together, parents and teachers create an environment that is positive, safe, and fun so children can grow physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. At APPS, we help children reach their full potential.
APPS is licensed by the State Department of Social Services. We are conveniently located for families looking for a preschool in Almaden Valley, Blossom Valley or nearby areas of San Jose, as well as Campbell and Los Gatos.
At APPS teachers guide the learning process in a creative and safe environment. Parents help to manage the classroom, providing guidance to the kids while learning new educational methods and the principles of Positive Discipline.
This is a place where your voice as a parent is heard. You play an important role in leading and teaching your child.
We are a supportive community of parents, teachers and preschoolers working together to learn and teach the social and academic skills needed to thrive in this world. Join us!
APPS has helped my children to grow and learn in a play-based environment with supportive and caring staff.
APPS has been a fantastic experience for our family. We love the community we’ve been able to be part of, and how the teachers know how to make every day of learning fun! It’s a huge bonus that parents receive Positive Discipline coaching as part of the package of being here! I am so grateful we found APPS!
My daughter is very happy, and excited to come to school. And as a parent I am happy that I know everyone who is working with my daughter. The teachers are great and it’s a great family community.
APPS was an amazing learning experience for both of us and Viaan, and it’s an amazing community where all of us came together for a common cause
APPS was a wonderful introduction for our kids in how to make friends and interact with others after the relative isolation of COVID. We are very grateful for the whole community — teachers, parents and other students — and will be continuing on at APPS for the next few years.
