Yes, Primrose School of Cupertino is Cognia® accredited, reflecting our commitment to providing a high-quality early learning and care experience for every child.

These recognitions mean our curriculum, teaching practices, health and safety procedures and family partnerships are regularly evaluated against outside standards, and re-evaluated on an ongoing basis to stay current.

Accreditation is not a one-time achievement. It is an ongoing process of continuous improvement that helps ensure we deliver a nurturing, engaging and high-quality learning environment where children can thrive.

We follow the Balanced Learning® approach, exclusively developed by Primrose Schools®, to nurture the whole child intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally.

Through Balanced Learning®, our dedicated teachers create engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.

By thoughtfully blending purposeful play, guided discovery and nurturing support, we help your child build the skills to learn, grow and thrive, from our Infant classroom through Transitional Kindergarten.

Each day, our caring teachers combine structured learning, purposeful play and rest into a rhythm suited to every age group, integrated with circle time, small-group lessons, Children’s Choice Learning Centers, meals and rest.

At our school, children also have additional activities throughout the week, including our Enrichment Programs like Coding with Megy®, Chess with Percy®, Piano with Billy®, Little Magicians with Ally℠ and Mindful Movement with Mia℠.

School readiness starts in our Infant classroom and grows through every stage of our Balanced Learning® approach, with each year building the academic, social-emotional and life skills children need for future success.

Using balanced assessments and ongoing teacher observations, we monitor each child’s development, individualize learning experiences and stay in close contact with families to support a confident transition to kindergarten and beyond.

Yes! Primrose School of Cupertino has age-appropriate climbing steps, balance beams, runs and customized slides, giving children daily outdoor play as part of their regular schedule.

Our playgrounds are carefully monitored to ensure children can explore, play and learn safely. Staff remain closely engaged during playtime, staying current on daily safety checks and constant supervision.

With ongoing environmental monitoring and weather-related precautions, we help keep every outdoor experience secure.

Not at all. Our teachers partner one-on-one with each family to support potty training at whatever pace fits the child, keeping the approach consistent between school and home.

Yes! Our on-site chef prepares breakfast, lunch and snacks fresh each day in our own culinary kitchen, all part of our Balanced Menus. Breakfast rotates through options like scrambled eggs with toast, plain Greek yogurt and oatmeal.

Our lunch menus include favorites like chicken tikka masala with pita bread and broccoli, four cheese ravioli with marinara and peas and carrots sliced into age-appropriate strips, and fish sticks with mashed potatoes and pineapple, with vegetarian swaps like tofu or cheese built into the menu throughout the week.

All foods and meals are age-appropriate.

School leadership works with families to review each child’s dietary or allergy needs, applicable medical documentation, and school procedures. Accommodations are evaluated individually based on the child’s needs and the school’s ability to implement them safely.

Our Balanced Learning® approach supports the whole child through purposeful play and nurturing guidance, paired with developmentally appropriate learning experiences. Through ongoing observations and differentiated instruction, our teachers tailor learning opportunities to support each child’s unique strengths, interests and stage of development.

By balancing child-initiated exploration with teacher-guided learning, we help children build confidence, independence, creativity and essential academic and social-emotional skills at their own pace.

When families partner with early intervention or specialized service providers, we welcome open communication and share what we’re seeing in the classroom to support the child’s experience.

Yes, every Primrose School team member passes a background check before joining a school and keeps CPR and first-aid certification current afterward. Families can expect that standard at any Primrose location.

Primrose School of Cupertino maintains teacher-to-child ratios that meet or fall below the requirements of the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, for every age group.

Smaller ratios mean more individualized attention during curriculum implementation, so teachers have time to help your child achieve academic success.

Primrose School of Cupertino is licensed and regulated by the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, which sets requirements for staff qualifications, health and safety and classroom ratios.

We are also Cognia® accredited, an additional layer of independent evaluation beyond state licensing.

Medication is administered in accordance with the school’s written procedures and required parent and healthcare-provider documentation. Families should discuss a child’s specific medical needs with school leadership so an appropriate plan can be established.

Primrose Schools require a Safe School Plan in every classroom, built to help teachers respond fast and stay composed whenever the need arises. Children and staff practice these drills monthly, and each school shares plan updates with families directly.

We use an app to keep families connected throughout the day, sharing photos, classroom activities, curriculum information, nap updates and diaper change and bathroom visit notifications. The app also supports two-way communication, so staying in touch with your child’s teachers is simple.

We value open, ongoing communication and connect with families in person during drop-off and pick-up to talk through your child’s day, answer questions and share observations from the classroom.
