Regular weekday hours: 9am - 2pm

• Wednesdays: 9am - 3pm due to field trips

On-site after care available: 2pm - 5pm

On Wednesdays, our field trip days, we occasionally return from field trips at 3pm (traffic depending) and inform parents via our Facebook Group.

On days with soccer or ballet, children enrolled in the extracurricular stay until class ends at 3pm.

We accept children 2 and up.

This pandemic is a dynamic situation and we are doing our best to adapt and provide a safe environment for our students. Our current policies are:

All children and staff are subject to daily forehead thermometer scans to prove their temperature is healthy.

Each week, we ask that children provide evidence of a Negative Covid PCR test by Tuesday.

We offer free tests to our enrolled families, but families are free to submit their own test results.

We provide a daily snack at 10:30am. Snacks always include a serving of fruit (berries, apples, grapes, oranges), vegetables (baby carrot, snap peas, celery, edamame), and a starch (graham cracker, veggie chips, popcorn).

Lunch time is at 11:30 each day, and families are responsible for providing lunches for their children.

The teacher / student ratio at Twinkle at capacity is 1 to 3. In most cases, we have 4-5 teachers present, and our maximum number of children is 14. For occasions when we know we’ll be at max capacity, we will have 5 teachers on hand.

Yes! We strongly believe in educating well-rounded children.

We have music class every day. Our music teachers are a rotation of Teacher Zhanna (Kidz Universe), Mr. Wiley (Jump for Joy), Karen Enfield, and Peter Apel.

On Tuesdays, we have ballet with the Academy of Ballet and Etiquette.

On Thursdays, we have Soccer with Tuff Tumblers.

We go everywhere kids will explore and we aspire to introduce children to the educational venues you haven’t found yourself yet! We regularly make trips to Ardenwood Farms, Filoli Gardens, Children’s Discovery Museum, Curiodyssey, Palo Alto Junior Museum, the Zoo, and so many more places! The South Bay is a treasure trove of discovery! For a more comprehensive look at our field trips and tours, follow us on our Pinterest page!

We celebrate almost every culture and holiday! We are lucky: our parents come from all over the world and when a holiday nears we ask them how they celebrate! We celebrate Diwali and Holi, Nowruz (Persian New Year) and Hanukkah, Day of the Dead and Chilean Independence: but we’re conscientious about our community. For example: Lunar New Year is celebrated in more countries than China, so when we have children from Laos or Vietnam, we ask them what they do and the parents get to participate! This year, we have two students from Korea and we made Korean toys, had them practice writing their names in Korean and shared rice cake soup for Seollal (Korean New Year).

Please contact us for up to date tuition rates.

No, we work with families to assist with the process of potty training for our younger students.

Hundreds! We even have graduates who come back to work and volunteer at the school! Once a Twinkler, always a Twinkler! You can read more on our testimonials page or contact us!
