Starting preschool is a big step for a two-year-old and for you. At our cozy Cupertino/West San Jose campus, two teachers create a steady day of learning, play, meals, music, outdoor time, and real rest. Toilet training is not required.

What your family gets
A first school that feels safe, steady, and full of discovery.
Two-year-olds learn through relationships, repetition, movement, language, and play. Starbright gives each part of the day a calm purpose while leaving room for the care young students still need.
02
Language and friendship
Stories, songs, conversation, and daily social-emotional learning help students find words, take turns, and connect with friends.
03
Learning through play
Age-appropriate games, books, art, music, movement, shapes, colors, and counting turn curiosity into early confidence.
04
Care in the details
Four meals, outdoor play, pajamas, individual beds, and patient toilet-training support make the full day manageable for young students.
My son started at the school as a 2 1/2 year old and his speech skills … improved so quickly as soon as he started attending.

Our cozy Cupertino/West San Jose campus is at 4645 Albany Drive. In 2025, we thoughtfully reimagined the campus around how young children learn. It was the biggest investment in the campus since it opened in 2000. The two-year-old classroom is light, calm, and thoughtfully arranged, with familiar routines and inviting materials that help young students settle in and explore with confidence. Tour the classroom, meet the teachers, and picture your child's first days here.
