We bring together education, health care, and family services so children can lead happy, healthy, productive lives.
About us
We are creating a new school model that brings together all of the adults in a child’s life, including parents, educators, and medical and mental health providers, starting from a very early age. Our aim is that children and families most impacted by systemic poverty and racism receive the support they deserve to be well, learn, and thrive. Three key components make up our unique approach: We start early: We start working with parents and enroll children into our program as early as birth to reach them at their most critical stage in development. We work with - not around - families: We know that parents and caregivers are the most important people in a child’s life. We partner with them to enhance the education and health of their children. We integrate multiple systems to serve the whole child: Our unique model unites health care and education, building a multi-disciplinary team and holistic system of care around a child’s full needs. Our ultimate goal is to create a game-changing system of care for children that can be replicated across the country. To that end, we are building a model that can be effectively implemented in diverse communities and sustained on public funding. We currently operate two program sites in East Palo Alto and East Bay, California, which act as our primary centers of direct impact, innovation, and learning.

We are so proud of Nerissa Broughton, Senior Manager of 2-Gen Programming, and Joyce Latu-Fahamokioa, Senior Manager of Parent Program & Early Family Foundations, for presenting at the ZERO TO THREE LEARN Conference! Nerissa and Joyce shared a poster on Bridge to Preschool, the culmination of our Early Family Foundations program, where children and parents participate in a preschool-like experience to learn classroom routines and practice separation within the comfort and familiarity of their caregiver. Bridge to Preschool is a joyful introduction to the #learning environment for children, and parents are able to build the capacity to expand learning to their home environment. Being in community with other #earlychildhoodeducation leaders who value a 2Gen approach to supporting the growth, development, and #wellbeing of the whole family was a wonderful experience for our team. We can’t wait to return next year! #LearnWithZTT

We believe that #parents are their child’s first teacher. Through our Early Family Foundations program, we start our partnership with parents early on – equipping them with the knowledge and skills to support their child’s development and their own #wellbeing. We’re excited to share our new video, so you can hear from parents and staff about how Early Family Foundations has impacted their families’ lives. We are currently enrolling for Early Family Foundations at both our East Palo Alto and East Bay sites. For East Palo Alto, contact admissions@theprimaryschool.org if your child was born between September 1, 2022 and August 31, 2023 For the East Bay, contact eb.eff@theprimaryschool.org if your child was born between December 2, 2022 and December 1, 2023
