Can I start classes in the middle of the School Year or after the Summer Term has begun?
Yes, if space becomes available. Contact the school at (650) 348-0736 or email the registrar for more information.
What happens during class time each week?
During class time each week, children get a chance to explore a very “yes” environment, play and socialize. Parents rotate between being responsible for a station in which they interact with children in that area of the classroom and participating in a teacher-planned observation and teacher-facilitated discussion.
What are my co-op obligations outside of the classroom?
School Year
Every enrolled family must complete an Annual Job, participate in one Super School Wash and attend three required night classes. The Annual Job is 15 to 20 hours of work outside of class time. The Super School Wash will be assigned based on your class and is a two-hour commitment on one Saturday during the school year. All families are required to attend three night classes – an Orientation at the beginning of the year, the All School Meeting in the fall and a Parent Education Class in the winter. All of these co-op obligations are adult only.

Summer Term
There are no co-op obligations of Summer Term families outside of the classroom, and no required night classes for returning families. However, all new families must attend an adult-only orientation in early June.
Are there any parent education classes outside of the classroom?
School Year
Yes, we offer optional parenting classes in the evenings. Topics, times and locations vary and are posted in the classroom in advance.

Summer Term
There are no evening parent education classes sponsored by Little Wonders offered during the Summer Term.
Can I visit before applying?
We require all interested new families to visit the school prior to submitting an application.
