At Notre Dame Preschool, we believe early childhood education lays the foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth.
Our nurturing community supports your child’s development academically, socially, and emotionally—guided by our commitment to inclusion, respect, and joyful discovery.
Families see real results.
From strong academic preparation to remarkable personal growth, our program is designed to meet children where they are—and help them soar.
Not only has my son mastered the preschool curriculum—he’s excelled far beyond it. But even more impressive is his social growth and confidence. The love, structure, and care at NDE Preschool have made all the difference.
— Sarina, NDP Parent

Making NDE Accessible for Your Family ♥
If finances are the only thing holding you back from choosing NDE, let’s talk. We offer financial aid opportunities to ensure that an NDE education is within reach for families who value our mission.
Notre Dame Elementary is proud to offer our own Tuition Assistance Fund. FACTS is a third party service that evaluates financial data and makes recommendations based on calculated need. This is then reviewed and approved by our Financial Committee and School Board.
Please contact Maureen Smith at (650) 591-2209 or msmith@nde.org for more information on available tuition assistance.
The Archdiocese of San Francisco grants are awarded to families living within the confines of the Archdiocese (Marin. San Francisco and San Mateo counties), and are awarded on a need basis until funds are exhausted.
Please note only one TADS application is required per family per academic year. If you have multiple children attending different schools (Catholic elementary and Catholic high school) you only need to submit one application.
The BASIC Fund provides need-based scholarships to families in the Bay Area, making private Catholic education more accessible. You can only apply if this is your first time applying to a Catholic School. The fund offers financial assistance to students entering Preschool through eighth grade, with a focus on supporting families who demonstrate financial need. Scholarships are awarded based on income and are designed to help bridge the gap for families who want a quality Catholic education but may face financial challenges.
