San Jose Parents Participating Nursery School (SJPPNS)

San Jose Parents Participating Nursery School (SJPPNS) A play-based co-op preschool that has fostered curiosity, creativity, and community for 75 years! At SJPPNS, we believe in the individuality of children.

Play is the work of young children and, through a play-based curriculum, parents and teachers facilitate their social, cognitive and physical growth in a safe, trusting environment. Building each child's self esteem and autonomy is central to our philosophy and is basic to a child's social and academic success. Our teachers and parents, through gentle persuasion and encouragement, introduce childr

en to new experiences for them to explore, problem solve and discover. SJPPNS prepares children to embark on their life-long journey of learning.

Learn, Play, Grow

Our 1-Day Class offers a gentle introduction to the preschool environment, giving toddlers the opportunity to explore, learn, and build confidence alongside their caregivers. Together, children and caregivers can bond through a variety of engaging experiences, from sensory play and hands-on activities to outdoor adventures. Caregivers are encouraged to observe, participate, and discover how their child learn and interacts in a preschool setting—all while enjoying meaningful moments together.

Our incredible parents showed up in full force for our Back to School workday! 🧹🎨✨

From raking and power washing to organizing and decorating, our hands-on families made sure everything is sparkling and ready for our little learners.

As a parent-participating co-op, working together on days like this is part of how we build the tight-knit, supportive community that makes SJPPNS feel like home.

A huge THANK YOU to all the parents who gave their time and effort to get us school-year ready! 🎒💛

Over 75 years of friendships!

Friendships are important in nursery school because they help young children learn how to play, communicate, share, and get along with others.

Important friendship benefits :

* Communication: Playing with friends encourages children to talk, listen, and express their feelings.

* Confidence: Having friends can help children feel happy, accepted, and confident in the classroom.

* Learning through play: Children often learn new ideas and skills by playing and exploring together.

* Sense of belonging: Friendships help children feel that they are part of the nursery-school community.
