Integrated General Education Class (PK only)

Jefferson Early Education School is located in the Sunset area of San Francisco and serves preschool children from ages 3 to 5 in its two classrooms. Our center is a community of learners where children, staff, and parents work closely to provide a safe and stimulating learning community.

Our Philosophy

Our school uses the HighScope Educational Approach, which emphasizes active participatory learning. Students have direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events and ideas. Students’ interests and choices are at the heart of how we teach and nurture. We validate and support what they already know, and gently encourage them to take their thinking to the next level.

At Tule Elk Park EES, we are dedicated to supporting, and expanding the potentials, strengths, and capabilities of all members of the Tule Elk Park’s community: staff, children and families.

Our TK program is designed to bridge the preschool learning environment with that of the traditional kindergarten classroom. It is taught by multiple subject credentialed teachers who blend preschool and kindergarten instructional practices in order to meet the individual needs of each child. The instructional day is from 8:40 AM to 2:55 PM. Out of School Time (OST) Care is available at other school sites. Currently our school site does not have an OST program for our TK students.

Theresa S. Mahler Early Education School is located in the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco. Our community provides a safe learning environment that respects, cherishes and encourages the individual learner for his or her own uniqueness, while honoring diversity, providing the child with a sense of belonging, and nourishing the individual’s developmental and learning style.

Edwin and Anita Lee Newcomer School (formerly the Chinese Education Center) is a school for Chinese-speaking, newly-arrived immigrant students. It is a transitional, one-year program designed to teach foundational English skills in reading, writing, and oral English language development. In addition, basic skills, protocols, and understanding in all CORE subject areas are explicitly taught to address the gap that typically results from students having been raised in a very different educational system.
