He's excited to be there each and every day and we couldn't be more grateful for that! We love the emphasis on teacher retention, the shady play yard, and all the pretend play that's built into the day. Our son was a late talker with less than 20 words when he started and he's now constantly chatting in full sentences. We're so grateful for our time at OFS.

Our daughter is currently enrolled, and our son, now 10, still loves coming back to visit because of the joyful, meaningful experiences he had during his time at Trinity. We've been with the school through some incredibly challenging moments, including the early days of the pandemic when our son was just four. When many elementary schools remained closed, Trinity continued to show up for families in remarkable ways. Their ability to navigate constant changes with care, thoughtfulness, and resilience was truly impressive. Throughout it all, the school remained a place of safety, stability, and genuine community, something we were deeply grateful for during such uncertain times. While we are not a particularly religious family, we have always felt completely welcomed and included. Trinity emphasizes kindness, strong values, and thoughtful character above all else, creating an environment where every child and family can feel at home. We feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of this special community for so many years. The schedule is wonderfully supportive for working parents, and the level of care and attention given to each child is exceptional. Most importantly, children leave Trinity not only well-prepared academically for elementary school, but also confident, compassionate, and ready to grow. We are truly grateful for Trinity and can't recommend it highly enough. It is a very special place for both children and families.

The environment is super clean and warm and like the preschool I remember growing up. My daughter loves the shaded outdoor area and all the arts and crafts. She is already fully prepared for kindergarten, can count to 100, knows all her letters, while legitimately loving school every day. It's also crazy affordable for the Bay Area with very flexible extended care. We will miss Trinity when she graduates.
