Our Multi-faceted Story

As you can imagine, the Nursery has had many children pass through our doors over the years. It would be difficult to identify any one story as completely representative of the San Jose Day Nursery. We are a community of many cultures, backgrounds, and experiences — all of which enrich the overall environment for our children. Our staff, volunteers, and many supporters also reflect this diverse range, everyone bringing something new to enliven the mix.

This variety is entirely appropriate, given our location in one of the country’s most diverse neighborhoods. Like a multi-colored quilt or mosaic, our individual viewpoints combine to create a masterful work of art. Over the Nursery’s 91-year history, we have watched many bright, happy children develop into even brighter, content, mature adults. Some have visited the Nursery, and stayed with us for the long haul, returning to work on staff and help the next generation of children.

In this section, we will share a few stories with you, to present just some of the many experiences that have become part of the fabric of the Nursery. As you look through these eyes, we hope you will experience the magic of the San Jose Day Nursery, and understand why this is such a special place.
