Overview
  • Our TK program is designed to bridge the preschool learning environment with that of the traditional kindergarten classroom. It is taught by multiple subject credentialed teachers who blend preschool and kindergarten instructional practices in order to meet the individual needs of each child. The instructional day is from 8:40 AM to 2:55 PM. Out of School Time (OST) Care is available at other school sites. Currently our school site does not have an OST program for our TK students. Please visit the SFUSD OST webpage for more information.

    At John McLaren Early Education School, we provide meaningful learning experiences that instill a passion for learning in our children. The center has diverse population of families and staff.

    Our curriculum of choice is Creative Curriculum. Creative Curriculum is a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that features hands-on, project-based investigations as a pathway to learning.

    At John McLaren Early Education School we have a balance of indoor and outdoor learning experiences that support children in their cognitive, social and emotional, and physical development skills. We set up the classroom in learning centers to accommodate children of all learning styles.

    We provide opportunities for hands-on-activities, indoors and outdoors. We have an outdoor garden area where children learn and connect with nature. Our children have opportunities to enjoy physical play in our beautiful outdoor space, and on rainy days and when needed, children do physical play in our movement room.
