Cornerstone is a developmental program. We recognize that children move through specific stages of development at their own individual pace. Each child has their own learning style and temperament which contributes to how they process information and retain it as knowledge. Cornerstone recognizes the way that children construct knowledge- through hands on exploration and discovery- and the fundamental significance of mastery at each developmental level. Cornerstone focuses on the process of the learning rather than the product. When the process of learning is established the product will follow. All later education will be built upon the foundation established during the preschool years. It is our goal to provide a solid foundation, strong and well grounded in developmentally appropriate practice on which to build. We believe that every child is unique and deserves individual attention, unconditional love, and acceptance. This is our primary goal. Through our enriched p reschool curriculum, we encourage the following: * Development of a healthy self concept * Appropriate social interaction through play and small group activities * Gross and fine motor skill development * Intellectual growth and academic preparation * Integration of biblical truths into every part of the child's learning experience.

Our whole family has had a great experience at Cornerstone.



My daughter started preschool in the fall of 2008 and attended for 2 years. My son started in the fall of 2010 and is just finishing up his second year.



The teachers have been experienced, loving, and professional. My children also had several teachers in common, and I love that many of the staff have been there for years.



The curriculum has prepared my children very well for kindergarten. They have so much fun with the games and activities and yet are learning what they need to know to be able to start reading and other kindergarten activities when they get there.



The social environment has been very positive and encouraging. My children have learned to make friends and be a part of a community. The teachers are able to care for them and really get to know them.



I love that I have been able to bring my younger children to participate in the Music Together classes, and the whole family to evening and weekend programs and festivals. We have gotten 2 progress reports each year that show our child's development over the term. The teachers and director have been great resources to our family. I recommend Cornerstone to all my friends with little ones.

great preschool

Cornerstone is a great preschool. From the logistical details such as returning phone calls promptly to the most important thing, guiding and educating my 4-year-old son, the teachers and administrators are always supportive, helpful, and energetic. I am grateful to have found this preschool for my child.

My girls love their school.

I have twin girls that started at age 3 preschool and couldn't wait for this year to begin. Cornerstone has made the learning process fun and exciting. The staff have been pleasant and have encouraged my girls in learning, creativity and how to learn and have fun at the same time. Thank you.

Excellent program

My first child attended the preschool school since the age of 4 and now that he is in grade school, continues with their after-school care program. The preschool did an awesome job preparing him for Kindergarten, it was a loving and nurturing environment with a strong but not over-the-top Christian message. Their summer programs are fantastic. I'll be enrolling my youngest child in preschool with them this Spring. Highly recommended.

I enrolled my son at Cornerstone this year after researching other preschools in the area. I LOVE IT! The staff is friendly and courteous and oh so caring to all the children. The parents are welcomed in the classroom and invited to be actively involved. My son has blossomed in his relationships with other children and his social interactions as well as academics. I love that the emphasis is on growing the children to be loving and respectful and responsible people, not just on cramming the three R's. I would recommend this school without reservation!

Music Together of Almaden. What is Music Together? Music together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement. Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidencein the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. By emphasizing actual music experiences rather than concepts about music, Music Together introduces children to the pleasures of making music instead of passively receiving it from CDs or TV. Central to the Music Together approach is that young children learn best from the powerful role model of parents/caregive rs who are actively making music. The program brings families together by providing a rich musical environment in the classroom and by facilitating family participation in spontaneous musical activity at home within the context of daily life. Music Together is committed to helping families, caregivers, and early childhood professionals rediscover the pleasure and educational value of informal music experiences.
