Cypress School

We are a full day, full year school nestled in the Presidio of San Francisco, offering educational programs for children ages 2 - 5. Our school supports the belief that children learn through play, exploration, and discovery within the context of nurturing and reciprocal influences of children, parents, and teachers.

4. 4How do you handle the transition for children starting mid-year or moving up from a younger classroom?
