PARENT TESTIMONIALS: LORI'S PRESCHOOL
"I was thrilled when I attended my daughter's kindergarten conference. The teacher asked which preschool my daughter attended, and after I told her "Lori's Preschool," she told me how impressed she was with you, Lori. She said that my daughter and another boy in her class, who also attended your preschool, showed a genuine joy of learning, exhibited behavioral management skills, and had the best penmanship due to the many fine motor activities that you provided in your class. She then told me how all the students who came from your school had similar characteristics and were near the top of the class academically. I am so happy that my younger daughter is now attending your school. She loves going to school and asks to go every day. I love the small class size and how calm, creative, and organized you are. Thank you so much for all you do." Deana
"Once again, words can't express how truly grateful we are for everything you do! When Mia started there 2 years ago, I never thought she would have the same experience as Gianna. But in fact this time, it far exceeded my expectations. She has not only learned her letters, sounds, numbers, etc., but it is all the nonacademic things that are impressive...her patience, her confidence, her leadership, all the things you taught her just through conversation. Her experience is a true testament to the gift you have as an educator. Thank you for preparing her for a journey of lifelong learning. You have laid the strongest foundation. We will miss you. Love, Chara "(Reading Specialist and Literacy Coach for the SRVUSD)

Rocco's Pizzeria
In 1922, Giovanni and Virginia Biale left the town of Savona in Genoa, Italy with their three young sons, Giacomo, Mario and Rudolfo to make a new life in America. With help from a cousin, they made their way to San Francisco and settled in the Italian section of Potrero Hill. Less than a year later, my grandfather, Giovanni, opened “Biale’s Meat Market” on Connecticut Street. To this day “Biale” is still tiled in the entryway of the building.
Giacomo “Jack”, my uncle, stayed in the butcher business while Mario, my father, and Rudy went into the bar and restaurant business in San Francisco, Phoenix and Honolulu. Rudy owned and operated two “Rudy’s Italian Restaurants” in Waikiki for 25 years.
I worked at Rudy’s for 3 years with my brother Anthony. It was there I learned the importance of being a hands-on owner. People came from all over the world to visit “Rudy’s”, enjoying the food, the wine, and the gracious host.
In the fall of 1999, I opened Rocco’s Ristorante & Pizzeria. I have tried to maintain that same warm and inviting feeling my father and uncle provided for so many years. My family hopes you enjoy your visit and will come see us again!

Brightworks School
Brightworks and Tinkering School were shining examples of what makes child-centric learning transformative, in spite of the pandemic. Faced with so many challenges, it would have been easy to just do the bare minimum and wait for better days, but instead, across every program we saw innovation. From the engaging tinkering kits we sent home with every student, to the development of entirely new kinds of distance learning like the Mars Project – which connected summer camp kids to robots in a scale model of a lava tube – our staff created ways to keep students engaged and motivated.
Our work in these programs stands out against the backdrop of incremental change in education as an example of what can be done. Our explorations have had an incredible impact on the lives of children around the world, who have been inspired to ask questions, build new skills, and believe more in their own abilities. We have inspired educators through our Curious Educators Program to make bold moves in their own practice, changing the way children experience learning. Together we are re-imagining education and testing those ideas, we are acting as an engine of creativity.
Our programs continue to evolve and innovate, reminding the world that learning is a collaboration, that childhood should be amazing, and that everything is interesting.
