  I can't say enough good things about Village Nursery School. In a true full circle moment, I attended Village as a child, and now my daughter goes here. Watching her make memories in the same place I did has been incredibly special for our family. We toured many preschools before enrolling and what sealed the deal for us was the community, the low adult to child ratio, and their play based learning philosophy. Being this little is such a short window of time, and letting kids be kids is something that was so important for us. At Village the kids spend their day learning through hands on experiences, imaginative play, art, and outdoor exploration. The teachers and director are wonderful. They are communitive, caring, and give frequent fun photo updates. Yay for Teacher Mindy, Teacher Jen, and Teacher Elisa! One of the things that makes Village unique is that it's a co-op preschool. That means parents are involved in the school community and spend time participating in the classroom, school maintenance, and school events. While that might sound intimidating at first, it has been one of our favorite parts of the experience! We have only been here a short time so far, but we've already built friendships with other families and become part of a supportive community. It feels like everyone is invested in helping all the children succeed. Community matters! I've gotten to know the teachers, the other families, and my daughter's friends in a way I know wouldn't have happened in a traditional preschool setting. One of the sweetest parts has been hearing stories about my daughter from other parents and getting glimpses of her day through their eyes. For families with two working parents like ours, the full-time program is a huge plus. It's from 8:00 AM to 5:30PM which is rare in a co-op setting and make Village a realistic option for working families . The location of Village is also a convenient location, not only for Daly City families, but for Peninsula families too (San Bruno, SSF, etc) especially for those who commute into San Francisco for work. If you're looking for an affordable, high quality preschool that combines play based learning, an incredible parent community, caring teachers, and a true sense of belonging, I highly recommend Village Nursery School. We feel very lucky to be part of it. My daughter is genuinely so excited going to school each day, and it's amazing to see how much she learns while simply being allowed to be a kid.

  Finding the right daycare for our first child felt overwhelming, but Village Nursery School made the transition so easy. From the moment we walked in, the teachers and staff welcomed us with open arms, creating a warm and supportive environment. The parent community is just as wonderful, making us feel like part of a family. Our daughter absolutely loves it—she’s growing, learning, and having so much fun every day. We couldn’t ask for a better place for her!

  Village Nursery is such a bright light in our lives! We were nervous looking for daycare options in the Bay Area for our daughter, and Village came highly recommended from a family friend. This place is amazing and we're so lucky we found such a wonderful co-op that relies on play based, child centered curriculum! Our daughter has now been here for seven months and absolutely loves the teachers and other students! The parent and teacher commitment and involvement is unmatched and it's been so fun to see how much our daughter has grown here since she started!

  I can't say enough wonderful things about Village Nursery School. Our son started there when he was just 24 months old, and while the transition from being at home full-time to a school environment was challenging, the teachers and other parents made sure we felt supported every step of the way. It was clear from the beginning that the school's co-op format is one of its greatest strengths, allowing families to be directly involved in their child's learning and development. As parents, we felt completely embraced by the community; the sense of camaraderie is unmatched. The co-op model really fosters an environment of mutual support, where everyone feels like they are working together to create a nurturing space for the kids. The teachers at Village Nursery School are truly exceptional. They are some of the most patient, kind, and knowledgeable individuals we've ever met. It's clear that they deeply care for each child and are dedicated to creating an environment where every child can thrive. Our son adores his teachers and looks forward to seeing them every day. Their guidance has helped him grow in so many ways, from developing social skills to learning how to express himself more confidently. We've seen firsthand how much thought and effort they put into their teaching. One of the things we appreciate most is how the staff made sure to keep us updated on our son's progress, especially during those early weeks. They were always available to answer questions, provide feedback, and offer reassurance. That level of communication made the transition so much easier for both us and our son. Now, our son is absolutely thriving. He loves school and gets excited every morning to go. It's so heartwarming to know that he's not only learning but also building strong friendships and growing in a safe, loving environment. If you're looking for a school that truly feels like a family and offers the most supportive, special community, I recommend enrolling your child at Village Nursery School. It's a place where children--and parents--feel truly valued.

  I feel so lucky that we found VNS! It’s not just a regular preschool/daycare. The teachers and families are so committed to make this place better in many ways! This is my daughter’s first school experience so it took her a few weeks to adjust but teachers and families provided a lot of support to make the transitions as easy as possible. After a few months, she loved going to school and couldn't wait to go to school everyday! One thing I really like is that the kids also get to go on field trips once a month, which I think is very unique that other schools don’t have. Overall, I agree that it does require more effort to join a co-op school due to many obligations but you also get to make friends, learn from other parents, and have that community support through family meetings and workdays.
