Little Foot Academy and Wonderschool

At Little Foot Academy & Wonderschool, we believe that early education shapes and develops the whole child as a learner, community member, and person. Using the philosophy of High Scope, we strongly believe that children reach their full potential by developing a positive self-concept through a balance of self and teacher-directed activities within our daily schedule. The interests of the children in our care serve as the bedrock of our curriculum, and we view each unique choice as a learning opportunity. With the philosophy of High Scope and academic opportunities afforded our students every day, each child will explore, learn and grow at their own pace as they navigate decision-making independently, with us, and amongst each other.

We will support the children with an enriched environment that will enhance each child’s emotional, social, creative, physical, language and cognitive development. We will serve as positive role models, creating an environment that is safe, warm and nurturing.

We strongly believe parents/guardians and providers are partners in a child’s care and education. Our whole family program supports this relationship through daily parent provider interactions and regularly scheduled conferences.

Little Foot Academy & Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, bright single family home at the end of a safe neighborhood in the Alum Rock neighborhood in East San Jose. We are minutes away from 680, CA-130 and close to both the San Jose Regional Medical Center campus and the intersection of Story and King. Parents enter our childcare through a separate gate and children spend their time in our home and fenced-in play area behind our home.
