3 and 4 year olds are ready for some adventures outside of school and these trips provide them with an opportunity to expand their learning experience. These off-site teacher-led adventures are scheduled a few times a year, typically. Parents make their own transportation arrangements.

Peninsula Gymnastics
Stulsaft Park Outdoor Ed
Hidden Villa
Ardenwood Farm
Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo
Marine Science Institute
community fun
Besides PNO (parent night out) and various class playdates, SPNS hosts several all-school family events during the course of the year - the fall’s Ice Cream Social, December's Merrymaking & Sing, and a Spring Fling - are some of the festive ways we mark and celebrate the seasons together.
