Welcome to Golden Poppy Preschool and Infant Center, a full service Early Childhood Educational Facility

to provide an enriching and nurturing environment with a focus on developmental activities.

whose dream and vision was to establish a high calibre early childhood educational facility in Southern
Marin. Opening its doors with 10 children enrolled, the school quickly grew as its reputation for

experience for literally hundreds of Marin County families.
Gail is at the school every Tuesday & Thursday supervising and mentoring the metamorphosis and
progress of her early dream. She has been replaced by her capable Director, Jeanine Schock, who has
been leading the school for over eighteen years. The original goal, to provide a rich, stimulating and
