Walnut Country Preschool is located in The Crossings, a community of over 1,000 single family homes at the foothills of Mt. Diablo. The school is a parent-run, non-profit corporation. Its main objective is to prepare preschoolers with the tools for a successful transition into their educational future. The curriculum involves many hands-on activities to promote physical, emotional, intellectual and social development. Some of the programs include Music and Movement, Arts and Crafts, Dramatic Play, Discovery, and Writing Center and Story Time. Although classes are taught by trained teachers, parents are encouraged to work in a classroom or serve on a Parent Board. The school sits in a gated complex next to the Walnut Country Club House, with views of the pool and tennis courts from the playground. Parking spaces are conveniently lined up just outside the entrance for easy pick up and drop off. There is also a side entrance with street parking available.
