Community Engagement & Local Benefits

At Safari Kid Livermore, we believe community engagement adds real value to the early preschool experience. Located in downtown Livermore, our preschool takes advantage of local resources and programming for families. By joining community events and building partnerships, children learn through real-world interactions outside the classroom, whether that’s visiting a family-run farm or taking part in town art projects. These experiences connect learning to everyday life and help children feel at home in their community.

We maintain close relationships with Livermore groups that support families, literacy, and the arts. Sometimes, children participate in city reading weeks, storytimes at local libraries, or STEAM fairs hosted by nearby organizations. These experiences bring local people and places into our curriculum, fostering a strong sense of belonging in our students and encouraging them to embrace community life.

Because Livermore values education, our programs follow local standards and parent expectations. We collaborate with community organizations to bring cultural and arts programs into the classroom, enriching our students’ school days. By connecting academic and social learning with local opportunities, we help children learn, build relationships, and gain confidence in their place in Livermore.
