It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of The Roberts School after 48 enriching years of service to the Menlo Park community and its neighboring areas. Changes in the educational landscape, particularly the challenges presented by Covid and the introduction of Universal Preschool, have significantly affected our enrollment numbers.


Throughout these years, it has been an immense privilege to be entrusted with the care and education of your cherished children. The relationships we've built with each family have brought immeasurable joy to our lives, and these are bonds we will miss deeply.


As you move forward, we extend our warmest wishes for continued success and happiness to you and your families. Should you need any assistance or support, please don't hesitate to get in touch.


Warm regards,
Brenda Roberts, Owner since 1975 ([email protected])
Elisa Barrett, Teacher and Director since 1994
Gini Flores, Teacher since 2006
Kristine Loftus, Teacher since 2019

Enrollment Documents

For parents new to The Roberts School,

The first step to finding the right school for your child is to call us and speak with us personally. After that, we will set up an appointment for you to come see our school and all that we have to offer. We tour the school with one family at a time so that we may personalize your visit.

If we decide we are a good fit then we have paperwork we will give you including our parent handbook outlining our policies and much of what we cover on the tour. Additionally, the state of California mandates that the documents below must be completed prior to your child’s first day. You can download these from the Community Care Licensing Department of the California Department of Social Services.
