Our Philosophy

Learning should be fun

We offer a play-based curriculum in a supportive environment where children are free to explore who they are and how they relate to others and the environment through active play. Children have an opportunity to make choices about what, where, and with whom to play within an extended time period. This allows them to experience success in creating and determining their own play

Building a positive self‑image and positive social relationships are the main goals of our programs. With the self‑confidence and interpersonal skills acquired at Miraloma, children are ready and able to meet the academic and social challenges that lie ahead

Everyone is welcome

Miraloma Cooperative Nursery School shares in the sorrow and anger at the individual and systemic violence against people of color in San Francisco and beyond. As an institution founded on a spirit of inclusion, we are committed to embracing diversity, modeling cultural humility for our children, and teaching respect. We reject racism and discrimination of all kinds, and aim to educate and activate our community so we can all do better.

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of our educational policies, admissions policies, and other school-administered programs.

We admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
