HISTORY:
The Crayon Box was founded in 2003 by Adriana Razo, an early childhood educator who envisioned a school where all children were exposed to the Spanish language. For some it means the continuity of a language spoken at home, and for others it means the exposure and daily use of a new language, during a crucial time of development when children are open to new experiences and practice the language with no fear.

The Crayon Box initially opened as a home-based preschool with two students. After many years of working with children, Adriana's dream was to offer a new home away school setting where children were nurtured by teachers that genuinely cared for children.

In September of 2005, The Crayon Box moved into its present facility in San Francisco. Our new location previously known as The Discovery Center School, includes spacious classrooms, a multi-purpose room used for yoga and ballet lessons, administrative offices, and a large, fenced playground.

Adriana's goal continues to be to offer a diverse community that encourages children to appreciate and learn about other cultures as well as their own. Providing a school setting where children are excited about learning and look forward to a lifelong joy of learning.
