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 and creative environment.
Through play-based learning, parents and teachers together create an environment that is positive, safe, and fun for children to grow and reach their full potential.
APPS is licensed by the State Department of Social Services (CDSS Facility Number 430700020). We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
We are conveniently located for families looking for a preschool in Almaden Valley, Blossom Valley and other nearby areas of San Jose, as well as Campbell and Los Gatos areas.
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!
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 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.
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!
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 has helped my children to grow and learn in a play-based environment with supportive and caring staff.
