Why Choose Sunnymont-Westside for Preschool?

Sunnymont-Westside is a special place where preschool age children naturally develop to their fullest potential in a stimulating and respectful environment. Sunnymont-Westside is a parent participation cooperative nursery school where the needs, talents, and perspectives of every individual are honored.

What's a Parent Participation Preschool and Co-op?

A Parent Participation Co-op is a school where children learn and grow alongside parents under the direction of dedicated, professional teachers. As a cooperative nursery school, Sunnymont-Westside is cared for by our families, who volunteer their time to run the school. From helping in the classroom once a week to making play-dough, parent participation forms strong community bonds and helps make tuition more affordable.

The concept of participation goes much farther than the mechanics of running our school, however. A school such as ours could not function without thoughtful consideration of each for the other. We help each other by switching work days with another parent, working out transportation problems, volunteering for necessary duties, and being considerate of others. The working together and the give-and-take is what most of us particularly enjoy in our school.

The result is that Sunnymont-Westside is a vibrant and supportive community that extends beyond school functions. Sunnymont-Westside parents can rely on one another for everything from playdates to coffee shop recommendations to support in times of family crises.

Where is Sunnymont-Westside located?

Sunnymont-Westside is currently located at the Westside campus on Payne Avenue in West San Jose for the 2011-2012 and our families come from San Jose, Campbell, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Cupertino, and beyond.

In the fall of 2012, we'll be opening in our new home on Union Avenue just off Highway 85. We're excited to have found a long term home that offers us great spaces for both our big kids and toddlers. We'll be making some improvements to enlarge the yard and move a wall or two that will make it even better.
