A Beloved Preschool in Ross Valley, Serving San Anselmo & Fairfax Families Since 2003
YOUR CHILD’S GATEWAY TO LEARNING
Welcome to first friends preschool
First Friends Preschool has been referred to as Ross Valley’s best kept secret. Our families say it’s because we offer outstanding care, outstanding teachers and an outstanding program. But it’s our friendly and intimate atmosphere, and the loving relationships we’ve made with our families over the years that we’re most proud of.
Kind Words From Our Families
We felt like we had stumbled into Ross Valley’s best kept secret. It’s nothing like anything else we found. My son is developing in leaps and bounds. We’re very happy that we choose First Friends and we would highly recommend it to others!

I will never forget the first time I came to First Friends. The quality of care, the extraordinary attention to the environment and the clarity of the program rang out like a full-piece orchestra. It has been a dream come true for us to have high-quality childcare...There are no preschools in Fairfax or San Anselmo that come even close to matching First Friends’ quality.
E. SHARE & P. MCLAUGLIN
After visiting many schools for our son, none came close to that “special” feeling that only a loving home seems to create. First Friends has that feeling, the teachers have fostered an environment that is incredibly special -our whole family looks forward to being here everyday.
