Welcome to Mill Valley’s Parent Participation Preschool
Discover a play-based, Reggio Emilia inspired, parent participation preschool, where community lies at the heart of our program.
Families come together to share a collective learning experience with their children. ​Our school philosophy fosters a child’s natural curiosity of the world while providing a warm and secure environment to build lasting connections. ​
Where a neighborhood becomes a community.
Where families find their village.
“We weren’t made to parent in isolation – create a village, a community, find helpers and abandon stoicism. Everyone benefits when we raise our young in communities of support.”
- Dr. Mona Delahooke
Our Guiding Principles
Play-Based
Through joyful learning and collaborative play, our program focuses on the development of the whole child: physical, cognitive, and social-emotional. We offer a vibrant and nurturing learning community committed to child-led exploration, creativity, and collaboration.
Parent Participation
We believe parents are valuable contributors to the educational process, bringing their unique perspectives and insights. At MVNS, children, teachers, and families work together to foster a sense of community and mutual support.
DEI
Our community is woven together by people of diverse abilities, needs, backgrounds, experiences, and cultures. We see and appreciate all differences and commonalities among each member of our community and value their unique contributions to our school.
