Early Preschool

Child-Led, Curiosity-Driven

Early Preschool Program for Ages 2–3 in San Jose

At two and three years old, children are natural scientists — asking questions, testing ideas, and making connections every single moment. Bright Sunrise Preschool’s Early Preschool program in San Jose’s Evergreen community is built around your child’s natural curiosity.

Rooted in the Reggio Emilia philosophy and High Scope approach, our early childhood educators design environments where children lead their own explorations while teachers provide scaffolded support. This means your child is never pushed — they are gently guided to the next discovery when they are ready.

Your child will develop their social-emotional identity, early language skills, and creativity within a diverse, inclusive, and nurturing classroom community. We celebrate every child as a unique learner with their own pace, personality, and path.
