Family Connections is a renowned family learning community based in Palo Alto, CA, dedicated to the educational and personal growth of underserved children, as well as their parents and caregivers. Founded in 1993, Family Connections has been serving Peninsula families for over 30 years. Inspired by Little Hands, a cooperative nursery school, Family Connections goes above and beyond the role of a traditional preschool.

At Family Connections, we believe in providing free, high-quality, whole-family education coupled with comprehensive support. We strive to ensure children's healthy cognitive and social-emotional development, while also offering resource development for parents. Research has shown that young children need a strong foundation for success, and we are committed to helping them achieve their developmental milestones and build a prosperous future.

Our families face various challenges, including low household income, an increasing need for mental health support, language barriers, lack of basic necessities, and a shortage of affordable childcare. However, through our partnerships with community organizations and dedicated team, we are able to support and empower these families. With locations in East Palo Alto and Redwood City, Family Connections provides a nurturing environment for both children and adults.
