Community Centered

A grassroots effort started in 2001, our school is a tribute to cooperation and the result of parent dedication and many hours of hard work

Grow their creative confidence

Silverspot provides a vibrant and engaging environment in which children learn through play to develop their social and language skills.

Children are provided with many outlets for learning, including books, music, art, cooking, gardening, and exploration of the natural world around them.

Promoting our children to be engaged, independent learners during and after they leave preschool is of paramount importance to us.

What’s in a name?

The Silverspot Nursery School takes its name from the Callippe Silverspot butterfly. At one time this butterfly inhabited grasslands over much of the Bay Area region, but there are now only two remaining populations left, one on San Bruno Mountain in Brisbane
