One Fifty Parker Avenue Nursery School

Both of my children attended preschool at 150 Parker, and it exceeded our wildest expectations. Their creativity blossomed, they learned how to resolve conflict independently (with support from the teachers), and most importantly, they LOVED going to school every day. The Little Red School Bus is a completely unique program; it's hard to describe how amazing it is. My kids have gained so much confidence in trying new things and exploring their city. When it was time for my daughter to move on to kindergarten, she was completely prepared to start school and it was such an easy transition. As parents, the Parker community is deeply important to us. We've made lifelong friends and built a village. I am so grateful for Parker School!

Our family has been a part of the One Fifty Parker Avenue School community since 2015 when our eldest entered the 3-year-olds' program and were lucky enough to have a second child so that we could stick around for a few more years. The teachers are incredible in their level of experience, their intense commitment to supporting the children and their enthusiasm around continued professional development. We visibly could see our children's growth in self-confidence, resiliency, independence and empathy over their preschool years, a result of the teaching staff both being responsive to their needs as children and also providing the space to allow for the children to recognize their own capabilities and knowing when to give them a little push to challenge them. The families we met at Parker are still some of our best friends; though our daughter is now heading into middle school, when she sees her old Parker buddies, it's like no time was lost, and their time together is all smiles and giggles. Preschool seems like such a quick blip on the radar in a person's lifetime, but the experience truly can set them up for success down the road. We are so grateful to Parker School and all of the incredible teachers, families and children we have been so fortunate to know during our time there.

We sent both of our two children to the Parker School, with one now moving on to kindergarten. The school and its teachers are kind, delightful, thoughtful, and supportive (of both parents and the kids) - kind of everything you'd want in a preschool. It's worth noting that the outdoor aspect of the program (including the Little Red School Bus, which is a unique offer among the top-tier SF preschools) has been great for helping our kids build physical skills not just social-emotional ones. Parker supported our family in navigating the kindergarten admissions process and we were thrilled with our outcomes in the K admissions process for our son. The school is small enough that it can provide very personalized support and enables us to build meaningful relationships with the families as well.

Our family has been part of the Parker community since 2018 and it’s been a wonderful experience. The teachers at this school are incredibly talented and in tune with each child’s individual needs. The parent community is fun and supportive as well! We will be sad when our time at Parker is over but forever grateful for the amazing start the school has gifted our children.

Such a magical preschool! We are so lucky to have spent the past 3 years at 150 Parker. Not only is it a charming campus with amazing staff who are here to support you and your family as your little one grows, they also have their very own magic school bus. With the Little Red School Bus, children get to adventure. In their second year, kids can sign up for weekly to daily field trips and it is an experience that makes Parker truly magical.
