St. Timothy’s Preschool is a play-based, non-academic, emergent curriculum program with a strong focus on supporting children’s social and emotional growth. We have bright, beautiful classrooms, a playground space, and a large garden. We love giving children the space to be children, to imagine, discover, and explore; and we seek someone who will uphold and strengthen this philosophy.
We are a small established community preschool in Mountain View, CA caring for children 2 years & 9 months to 5 years old in a mixed age setting. Although we are on a church campus, this is not a religious preschool. Our community fosters values such as kindness, generosity, empathy, and care for the world around us. Diversity is celebrated and all backgrounds are welcome.
