Friends of Preschool Family
Founded in 2005, Friends of PreSchool Family (FoPSF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the beloved PreSchool Family (PSF) program in Palo Alto, CA. For nearly two decades, FoPSF has worked to enhance the educational experiences of young children and their families by providing essential resources and funding.
Empowering Families. Supporting Early Education.
Our mission is to ensure that every child enrolled in the PSF program has access to a nurturing, high-quality early education and that every family feels part of a strong, supportive community. We strive to raise funds to support Preschool Family programs and activities, increase awareness of PSF as a parent education-based preschool program, and provide access to resources for the general community to empower parents and caregivers.
What is PreSchool Family (PSF)?
PreSchool Family is a parent education program serving families with children from birth to five years old. Established in 1946, PSF is a part of the Palo Alto Adult School, and you do not need to be a Palo Alto resident to participate. The program offers a developmentally appropriate, play-based educational experience for children, while giving parents the opportunity to actively engage in their child’s learning and develop their own parenting skills.
FoPSF is dedicated to building a connected and vibrant community for families.
Our events are open to everyone and offer opportunities for fun, growth, and connection. From engaging speaker series to joyful family activities, there’s something for everyone. Explore our calendar and join us in creating lasting memories!
