The MPCSD Early Learning Center serves children 3 to 5 years old in multi-age classrooms at Laurel's lower campus in Atherton and Oak Knoll Elementary School in Menlo Park.  

3 years old is defined as follows: For the 2022-23 school year, children must be 3 by September 1st of the school year.

There are 2 scheduled options for the 2022-23 school year, all of which are 5 days a week:

Our curriculum is play-inspired with an eye towards Kindergarten readiness.
