Historical Clipping of the Month – April 2010
Carla recently showed me the old photo albums. I am fascinated by them, since I like history, especially local, Millbrae history and San Mateo County history. I photographed some of the old photos and news clippings and intend to publish one a month.
I sent the clipping through a free OCR service and edited it a little where the text was unreadable:

Nursery School ‘Graduates’ Hold Reunion at Millbrae
MILLBRAE — Old friendships were renewed at the annual alumnae day luncheon of the Millbrae Nursery school at the Sabella’s restaurant.
Current members and alumnae of the parents’ organization as their guests the three faculty members. Mrs. C. A. Wheeler teacher director: Mrs. D. D. Dowling and Mrs. H. Kauffman, as well as Mrs. Opal Moberg, executive secretary, and Mrs. James Hills. teacher director of then Rollingwood Observation Playgroup.
The school is jointly sponsored by the College of San Mateo, adult education division, and that parent group which directs the school’s operation.
Because families devote time and cooperative effort to the school during their period of membership, alumnae interest in the progress of the nursery school remains high.
Mrs. Sylvan Selig, outgoing president. brought the luncheon guests up to date on the many innovations the parents have made since occupying the school’s permanent quarters at 86 Center Street.

Historical Clipping of the Month – March 2010
Carla recently showed me the old photo albums. I am fascinated by them, since I like history, especially local, Millbrae history and San Mateo County history. I photographed some of the old photos and news clippings and intend to publish one a month.
I sent the clipping through a free OCR service (so Mr Google can read this too) and was really surprised at the good outcome:

Milllbrae Nursery Marks Fifth Year
Millbrae Cooperative Nursery School parents celebrated the school’s fifth year in its own building at a special fathers’ night program, Tuesday, Nov. 7 1961. The school is an adult education project of the College of San Mateo.
All nursery school past presidents and their husbands were invited to attend a dessert and coffee hour and hear a talk on family law by Millbrae attorney Donald Cahen. He spoke on wills, contracts, and other legal matters important to every family.

This is how the building looked a few years later (I think this photo is from 1967, so it would be 11 years old by then–compared to 54 years old now):

The History of Millbrae Nursery School
In 1938, a group of mothers and fathers desired a rich and meaningful play and learning experience for their preschool children. Millbrae Nursery School was born. The fledgling school bore no physical resemblance to our school as it is today, but its ideals provided then, as they do now, a safe and attractive place where a child finds equipment for active play and where books and creative media for quiet play are available to his curious and expressive nature. A child learned then, as now, to use his body; to cope with his own feelings and emotions; to get along with others; to satisfy his curiosity; to widen his experience; to accept limitations; to communicate with others; to grow in self-confidence and self-reliance.
The school has reached its 70th year of serving children and families and is going strong with three classes. The school is constantly changing to meet the needs of the children and their parents. Extended care is available for working parents and for other parents in the school who need it on an occasional basis.
Millbrae Nursery School provides you with an opportunity to share a wonderful experience with your child. You can enrich your life as your child enriches theirs; sharing their education during the formative years when parent participation really makes a difference in the development of their character. The families involved in Millbrae Nursery School continue to experience a rich and meaningful play and learning experience for their children, as well as support and learning experiences for themselves. Millbrae Nursery School truly enbodies a place where everyone can grow and learn.
