The Ross Preschool has been a cherished part of the Ross community since the early 1950s. Located in downtown Ross in the heart of Ross Valley, our preschool has been thoughtfully stewarded over the decades by dedicated organizations including St. John’s Church, Ross Recreation, and the Town of Ross. We are deeply grateful to the many people and partners who have cared for and shaped this special place.

In 2018, the Town of Ross transitioned the school’s operations to an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Today, The Ross Preschool continues to deliver the same high-quality, nurturing program the community has long trusted, guided by an experienced and committed team.

Our play-based approach is grounded in current brain research and best practices in early childhood education. Through joyful exploration, meaningful relationships, and a deep respect for childhood, we strive to create an environment where young children feel safe, curious, and confident.

We hope your child and family will become part of The Ross Preschool story.
