Our schools’ doors opened in 1968 with the desire to experience first-hand all of the marvelous thrills and excitement that exists in a child’s world. Our founders recognized the tremendous amount of learning that takes place over the course of a child’s developmental years and endeavored to provide programs that would offer the essential support and promote emotional, physical, and social growth. We believe that we have an opportunity to influence much of what will happen to the children as they go through elementary school, middle school, and then on to adult life. It is our goal to provide an environment that encourages maximum development for children, as positive experiences during the early years lead to much greater success in the future. Our program provides an atmosphere to enrich your children’s learning as well as to help them explore new, exciting learning experiences. Our goal is to allow children the opportunity to expand their knowledge, to learn about their capabilities, and to develop positive ways to express themselves. We look forward to your child being a part of Action Day Primary Plus.

At Early childhood Learning Academy we believe the first five years of a child’s life are crucial in laying the foundation for later developments, and we believe that the emotional domain is foundational to all other developmental domains. Moreover, we believe in the importance of early experiences and early literacy, we provide our children with a stimulating curriculum, consistent structure, and plenty of indoors and outdoors play. And we build children’s feelings that they are respected and competent which motivates their desire to learn and follow direction. We challenge children in a realistic way without pressure, and without causing any stress or discouragement. Our curriculum fosters an individualized approach to teaching and flexibility to facilitate children’s learning. Our teachers are dedicated and offer plenty of one-on-one attention. Our children are not restrained, they are gently taught and they acquire excellent literacy, math and social-emotional skills by the time they graduate to kindergarten . In the last 7 years we were able to track ECLA students and follow their progress in elementary school. Year after year we find that ECLA alumni are doing very well and in most cases they are top of their class.

Hello! We are the Sharpe's and owners and founders of Kids Sharpe Center. We have been working with children and families for over 25 years. We are both educators by training and have a heart for children and families. We believe every child is smart and believe that social-emotional, spiritual and academic development is important and is best developed in an environment of mutual trust and respect. We believe that growing the WHOLE child is key to the lifelong success of a human being. With the right individualized coaching, teaching and support - each child can have success in every area of development! Every child is different and each child deserves to be educated and loved in a way that brings out the best in them. We have a family environment, where we treat your child as one of our own. Our PRESCHOOL program serves children, 2-5 years of age. We have a very low ratio. Two adults to 6 children. Our kindergarten readiness program supports our our students so that they enter kindergarten prepared, physically, emotionally, cognitively. Language development is a crucial part of kindergarten success! Our philosophy is emergent, meaning we believe children learn best when they are interested in what they are learning. Learning happens when it is hands on. Rote memorization is not learning. We focus on premath, prereading and prescience experiences that will prepare children for kindergarten but also feel like they are playing. We use the Spell, Read, to Write language program and the STEM program for math and science. We design an individualize program for your child so that they are prepare for the kindergarten they will be attending. We use formal and informal assessment tools to insure that your child is on track. In addition to our academic subjects, we provide art and music experiences, field trips, Spanish, health and nutrition education and character education. We value community and our first priority is that each child feels respected and respects others. Community is important and young children need to learn the skills necessary to successfully resolve conflicts, make good choices and understand logical consequences. This takes lots of practice! We use the Love and Logic approach to discipline. We feel that partnering with parents is important in order to insure that we are a team working together towards your child's goals. We offer parent workshops and one-one-one parent coaching and resources for our parents. We also provide opportunities for parents to be part of our program by participating in various volunteer opportunities. Parents are the most important teachers and their involvement is key to the success of our program. Their is no other program in the county that provides a family environment with the benefits of care and education that is the highest quality. We look forward to meeting you and your little one!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in San Jose, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in San Jose, CA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in San Jose, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in San Jose, CA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in San Jose, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in San Jose, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
