While this building, our original Peppertree School campus, suffered a devastating fire in the middle of the night on December 4, 2007, we are thrilled to celebrate the grand reopening of this site as of June 12, 2009. Originally built in 1911, this site is one of the Historical Homes in Los Gatos. This facility is located on a half-acre plot which offers large, shady playgrounds with sand areas, grass and swing area, and a gardening area. The main building, along with a detached cottage classroom, accommodate preschool thru school-age, starting at 2½ years and going up to age 9. The school-age kids are actively involved in the community and enjoy a wide range of field trips throughout the year (see Programs and Community for more information.)

Our second site is located on Los Gatos-Almaden Road at the corner of Union Ave. This school, with its charming country look, was originally the Westerner School well over 30 years ago. It now houses our popular Infant & Toddler programs plus additional 2- and 3-year-old preschool programs. It has large, bright, sunny classrooms and two playgrounds with grass, concrete, swings, a big sandbox, and lots of shade trees. This second school was opened in July of 2002. We start infants at 6 weeks, toddlers at 12 months, and preschoolers from 2 to 4 years.
