San Mateo Parents' Nursery School

He came for preschool… and left with a whole new favorite part of the week. 💜
One of our SMPNS co-op dads told us: “I didn’t realize I liked being around the kids so much!”—and honestly, we hear versions of this all the time!
Co-op volunteerism isn’t just a way to make childcare more affordable. It’s a front-row seat to the magic: tiny humans with big feelings, hilarious conversations, and the kind of joy you don’t know you’re missing until you’re in it.
If you’ve ever wondered whether co-op life is “for you”… it might surprise you. ✨
Now enrolling for Summer & Fall! Come for a Daily Tour 9:30-10:30 or to our next Open House on Sunday, March 15th from 10:00-12:00!

Please join us for Three Upcoming Open Houses this Spring! We are enrolling 2-5 year olds for full and part-time schedules with Co-Op and Non-Co-Op spots available!

New year’s resolution: more play, more joy, more community. ✨
Come visit SMPNS at our upcoming Open Houses and join our new Parent & Me toddler play dates (15–24 months). Make this the year your family finds its preschool home. 💜🛝

SMPNS is excited to offer Parent & Me Toddler Play Dates!

These special play groups will provide a chance for parents to experience the SMPNS philosophy with past and present members of the teaching staff and current families who know how co-op communities sprinkle magic through a child’s most important activity: play!

January 24th 🔹 February 14th 🔹 February 28th 🔹 March 14th 🔹 March 28th 🔹 April 25th 🔹 May 9th 🔹 May 23rd

🗣️ Big updates at SMPNS & Spots Available!

We have reopened PM Only enrollment (previously for TK age only) and are rolling out increased enrollment for children 2.0-2.5 years for two mornings a week to help the youngest members of our community acclimate!

Our pm program is non-co-op and perfect for children who play all morning but no longer nap when Mama needs a break! Space is limited for 2 year olds, and we still have both co-op and non-co-op spots for late winter and spring!

Come check us out or drop by our table at the Burlingame Parents Club Preschool Fair this Saturday at Episcopal Day School from 10-12!

Plan on PJ's Pizza next week! Order a pie from this alumni family-owned business, and they will donate 20% back to SMPNS! This fundraiser runs from Monday, Sept 22 to Thursday, Sept 25!
