Building the future by providing an environment and curriculum that promotes holistic development of children.

At our school, we believe children need a strong foundation to thrive—not just in academics, but also in life. That’s why we focus on helping them build both essential learning skills and social-emotional skills. When children feel confident, connected, and understood, they are better prepared to explore, discover, and grow in every area of learning.

Our creative curriculum is designed to nurture the whole child through:

Social-emotional growth building confidence, empathy, cooperation, and resilience
Reading and a love of stories
Writing and early literacy skills
Phonological awareness for strong language development
Number and data sense to spark logical thinking
Science as inquiry , exploring and investigating through play
Art appreciation and creative expression
Dramatic play that celebrates families and culture
Music and movement to express joy and creativity
Healthy habits for a strong body and mind

By weaving social-emotional learning into every part of our day, we give children the tools to succeed not only in school, but also in building meaningful relationships and developing a lifelong love of learning.

At Goomer Academy, our philosophy is rooted in a collaborative partnership between parents and educators. We believe that by working closely together, we can best support each child’s unique potential and provide them with a supportive environment where they can thrive.

Safety and nurturing are paramount, and our creative curriculum ensures children not only build foundational academic skills but also develop crucial social-emotional skills, character, and a love for creative exploration.

We empower children to become well-rounded individuals prepared for future challenges. Our approach is centered on personalized learning, where we instill values and encourage children to challenge themselves. Through a balanced mix of academics and play, we ensure every child is ready to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

At Goomer Academy, we are proud to offer a state-of-the-art facility designed for the modern needs of early childhood education. Located at 2920 Fowler Road in the vibrant Evergreen neighborhood of San Jose, our building has been recently upgraded to provide the safest and most enriching environment for your child.

Our thoughtfully designed classrooms are the foundation of our indoor learning space, featuring dedicated areas for creative arts, hands-on science, quiet reading, and collaborative play. Beyond our welcoming interiors, we have expanded our commitment to holistic development with the addition of a brand-new outdoor learning space. This innovative area serves as an extension of our classrooms, allowing children to engage in educational activities in a natural, open-air setting. It’s the perfect place for sensory exploration, gardening projects, and science experiments that connect children with the world around them.

The safety and security of your child are our top priorities. To ensure a secure environment, our facility is fully gated, with parents and authorized visitors requiring a unique access code to enter. We also have CCTV cameras strategically placed both inside and around the building, providing continuous monitoring and an added layer of security. Furthermore, our entire building has been upgraded with the latest fire alarm system, featuring advanced sensors and monitoring to provide the highest level of protection.

From the moment you step into our academy, you will feel the energy of a community dedicated to a child’s growth and well-being. We are more than just a place of education; we are a secure and stimulating second home where children can feel confident, supported, and ready to learn and play.

As the Executive Director of Goomer Academy, Deepti Goomer brings a unique blend of engineering precision and a deep passion for early childhood development to her role. After a successful career as a Research Scientist with the Indian Department of Defence, her life’s path changed profoundly with the birth of her second daughter. This inspired her to pursue formal education in child development and a Program Director Permit from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

In 2006, Deepti launched a licensed family daycare from her home, building a foundation of nurturing care and hands-on learning. This dedication to providing a safe and enriching environment ultimately led her to establish Goomer Academy in 2011.

Today, Deepti is the driving force behind the academy’s philosophy and operations. She is deeply involved in every aspect of the school, from overseeing human resources and parent relations to implementing educational programs and ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety. Her commitment is to create a community where every child is empowered to explore, learn, and grow confidently, setting them up for a lifetime of success.

Goomer Academy welcomes children of all races, religions, and national origins. We provide an outstanding preschool experience for infants and preschool-aged children. Before a child can begin, several California state documents and school-specific forms must be completed. A one-time non-refundable registration fee and an annual non-refundable materials fee are required. Proper immunizations are mandatory for all enrolled children.

A $100 registration fee is required to be placed on the waiting list. When a position becomes available, we’ll contact you. You’ll have one week to accept the position and complete the standard enrollment procedure.

Please inform the school about all vacations and absences. Your child’s tuition is still due during all vacations and absences throughout the academic year. Vacation credit for extended (three weeks or more) summer vacations may be requested.

You may withdraw your child from the school at any time without financial penalty, provided you give one month’s written notice. The deposit you paid upon admission will be applied to the final month of care. If you give notice mid-month, any unused tuition will be refunded on a prorated basis.

Staff can’t administer over-the-counter medication. Prescription medication can be administered only with a signed consent form from parents and must be in its original container with the prescription.
Parents must sign their child in and out daily using the classroom logbook. A valid photo ID is required for anyone picking up a child who isn’t a familiar parent.

The school provides breakfast, a morning snack, a well-balanced lunch, and an afternoon snack. Our classrooms are a Nut-Free zone. Children are offered a rest period of 1.5 to 2 hours each day. For infants (12-24 months), we maintain a Safe Sleep log, where staff supervise and document the child every 15 minutes during nap time, checking for breathing, skin color, and any signs of distress. We follow a positive discipline policy, using supervision, redirection, and praise instead of corporal punishment. Parents are encouraged to be involved in school activities and check their child’s Family Folder daily for important information.

The Department of Licensing has the authority to interview children or staff and to inspect and audit facility records related to its operation. This licensing agency can also observe the physical condition of the children for any signs of abuse or neglect and can have a licensed medical professional physically examine a child.
