"I really wanted a play-based school where activities were varied and child initiated/directed as much as possible. Sequoia has fulfilled these goals admirably"
-Sequoia parent feedback from this year's anonymous survey

Our philosophy is that "play is the child's work." Our emphasis is on self-directed play with hands-on experiences.

Our Program:  We work with monthly themes exploring developmentally-appropriate topics that incorporate many activities:

  • Art and science-oriented projects
  • Stories, songs, circle time
  • Manipulative materials
  • Blocks, puzzles, games
  • Puppets and dramatic play
  • Outdoor play in our spacious play area, which includes climbing structures, a playhouse, a sandbox and tricycles
  • Visits from groups such as the East Bay Vivarium, Oakland Zoo, Oakland firefighters, local musicians and others reflecting the talents of our families

Goals:  We work together to provide a secure, nurturing and stimulating environment so that each child will develop:

  • Positive self esteem
  • Confidence as a learner
  • Respect for and understanding of other people
  • A sense of self as a part of a larger community
  • Problem solving/social skills
  • Readiness for formal learning
