Privacy policy
A plain-language description of what this website collects, why, and what you can ask us to do about it. It is deliberately short, because the website does very little with your information — it passes an inquiry to the school office and stops.
The organization responsible
The school is the party responsible for information collected through this site.

|---|---|---|
| Contact details | Name, phone number, email address | So the school office can answer your inquiry |
| Inquiry details | Program of interest, child’s age, preferred start date, and anything you type into the message box | So we can give you a useful answer rather than a generic one |

- DeleteAsk us to delete personal information we hold about you, subject to records we are required to keep.
- CorrectAsk us to correct information that is inaccurate.

To make a request, call the school office at 650-616-9000 or write to 1400 Hillside Blvd., South San Francisco, CA 94080. We may need to verify your identity before acting, and an authorised agent may make a request on your behalf with written permission.
This site is for parents, not children
This website is written for adults deciding on a school. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through it, in keeping with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Information about enrolled children is collected on paper through the enrollment process and is governed by that paperwork and by California licensing requirements.
If you believe a child has provided information through this website, call 650-616-9000 and we will delete it.
How it is held
- In transitThe site is served over HTTPS, so what you type into a form is encrypted on its way to us.
- At restInquiries live in the school office’s email and in a log on the website server, both access-restricted.
- How longFor as long as we are in contact with you about a place, plus a reasonable period afterwards. Ask us to delete yours sooner and we will.
- Honest limitsNo system is perfectly secure. Please do not send financial details, identifiers or health information through this site.
Common questions about this policy
- Do you sell or share our information?No. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Under California law those terms have specific meanings, and neither applies to what this website does.
- How long do you keep an inquiry?Inquiries are kept for as long as we are in contact with you about a place, and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you come back to us. Ask us to delete yours at any time and we will.
- Does this cover my enrolled child’s records?No. Records about enrolled children are governed by the enrollment paperwork you sign and by the record-keeping obligations California places on a licensed facility. This notice covers the website.
- Do you use tracking or advertising cookies?This website sets no advertising or analytics cookies of its own. The embedded Google Maps panels and Google Fonts are loaded from Google, which may set its own cookies; the accessibility widget stores your display preferences on your own device so they persist between visits.
- Is this website intended for children?No. It is written for parents and carers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website. If you believe a child has provided information through it, call the school office at 650-616-9000 and we will delete it.
Last updated: August 2026. We will post any changes on this page and update the date above. This notice describes the website only — information the school holds about enrolled children is governed by your enrollment paperwork and by California licensing requirements, not by this page.
