Our Story
Founded in 1969 by a dedicated group of parents in south San Jose, Almaden Parents’ Pre-school (APPS) was established to enhance early childhood education through active parental involvement. Utilizing a co-op preschool model, parents and teachers collaborate to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. With a commitment to sequential cognitive development, APPS has been a cornerstone of the community, opening its doors to 72 member families and continuing to grow ever since.
