Our Mission & Philosophy

Preschool

Age Range: 2.5 to 4 years
Schedule: Monday - Friday: 8:30a - 12:00p (early care is available from 8:00a; after-school until 1:30, 3:00 or 4:00p)

Our lower school classrooms have a strong focus on social-emotional learning, school readiness, and lots of play! Children work on building connections, navigating friendships, learning routines, and self-help skills. Our students are introduced to a variety of fine motor techniques, pre-literacy activities, and sensory experiences in a joyful and age-appropriate approach that reflects our Reggio Emilia and Montessori-inspired philosophy.

Pre-Kindergarten

Age Range: 4 years to 5 years
Schedule: Monday - Friday: 8:30a - 1:30p (early care is available from 8:00a; after-school until 3:00 or 4:00p)

In our upper school classrooms, students begin preparation for kindergarten through play, exploration, and inquiry-based curriculum. Children strengthen their fine motor skills, learn letters with our multi-sensory approach, build pre-math concepts, gain confidence, and nurture a sense of curiosity. Pre-K families are supported throughout the entire kindergarten admissions process and Calvary graduates attend a variety of independent, parochial, and public schools in the Bay Area.

Early Care and After School Enrichment

Calvary offers early and extended care 5-days a week throughout the school year.

Our Early Care program starts at 8:00 am until our regular school day at 8:30 am.

Our After School Enrichment Program extends your child’s day until 1:30, 3:00 or 4:00pm. Children participate in special small group projects, games, and enrichment activities such as Spanish, cooking, art, kindergarten club, and science.
