Millbrae Nursery School

We're in our 3rd year at MNS, and I absolutely love it. At first, I was completely intimidated by the concept of a co-op, but now I cannot imagine having my children anywhere else. It's truly a special place, with nurturing staff, an AMAZING playground, and education that takes place through play. While some preschools expect young children to sit and learn like elementary school children, I can tell you from experience that MNS's "learning through play" (which is structured, but allows the kids freedom to create and explore) concept prepared my daughter EXTREMELY well for Kindergarten. She's now in 1st grade, and continues to exceed our expectations ~ and it's in no small part due to the solid foundation she received here in Pre-K. My son is now at MNS, and he is thriving as well. It's like a second home to both of them. Even if you cannot commit to all of the co-op responsibilities, buy-outs are allowed and you STILL give your child the benefit of the warmth and high standards of this school. I'm extremely glad my kids have had the opportunity to be a part of MNS.

This is a great place for learning. Parents learn how important it is to be involved in their child's education. I have learned just as much about working with my kids and their friends from some very patient and wonderful teachers. Thanks for all you do for our families. We will be involved for many years to come.

The playground is awesome. Indoors, additionally to the educational toys there are dolls, plastic dinosaurs and animals as well as trains; There is dressup and pretend play, free play, creative play, and after having had my daughter in a school for a year that did not have any of these makes me really appreciate the difference.
