Almaden Parents Pre-School | A supportive community that helps develop both child and parent

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.

The APPS Library Subscription Program

Looking for an At Home Preschool Option?

With all that is happening in the world, we understand that in-person preschool might not be a good option for all children and families.

APPS is proud to offer our online preschool video library subscription which includes access to our own APPS teachers who will lead children through art projects, music and movement, science projects, stories and more. This is an excellent option for you and your child to experience the fun and learning of preschool from your own home.

Your subscription also includes access to 2 of our online adult education presentations in November and April and an invitation to join us for our school fundraising events.

I cannot say how grateful I am for APPS. This is an excellent preschool and can only be of benefit to parents and their children who want a positive preschool experience.
I've seen a big growth in my daughter's maturity, social skills, and self-confidence thanks to what she has learned at APPS.
I was initially nervous about the time commitment that joining a co-op pre-school would entail, but it has been a huge blessing to have a front row seat to witness my son's emotional, social and academic growth. I'm so glad to have a direct impact on his first school experience.
