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

Elisa Barrett

I have been at the Roberts School since 1994. For seven years I was the Rainbow teacher and since 2001 I have had the privilege of being the director. In addition to directing I teach Spanish twice a week during the school year and yoga during the summer. I graduated from Canada College with an A. S. Degree and Certificate in Early Childhood Education. I received my Bachelors Degree in Child and Adolescent Development through San Francisco State University in 2008. I love the Roberts School. During my free time I love spending time with my daughter, Jazmyne and my family.
