Welcome to the Bay Area Kid Fun Preschool Directory for the South Bay. This directory includes preschools from Palo Alto to Watsonville.

Most preschools accept children between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Some require that a child be potty trained, while others offer potty training assistance. Those providing infant care generally accept infants who are at least 6 weeks old.

Some preschools offer Junior Kindergarten programs designed to prepare children for a successful kindergarten experience.

Preschool philosophies, services, hours, and costs vary widely. Please visit the web sites below to help you identify preschools that may be a good fit for your child and your family. Then contact the preschools of most interest to schedule a visit to their facilities.
