Serving 2-6 Year Olds in the Hollister Community
The Hollister campus serves families from throughout San Benito County, including professionals, agricultural workers, and families from diverse backgrounds. Our families consist of those who pay privately for tuition as well as families who participate in subsidy programs.
Hollister's agricultural heritage aligns perfectly with our nature-based approach. Many families choose Meadowlark because they value their children's connection to the land and natural world—a connection that reflects the community's farming traditions.

Expanding Our Vision
While our Hollister campus continues to thrive, we're excited about the development of our 50-acre farm property located just two miles from this campus. This property represents the future of Meadowlark Schools, with plans to create Meadowlark Farm School—a campus where children will experience immersive agricultural education alongside our play-based curriculum.
The farm property will feature:
Organic farming operations
Animal husbandry opportunities
Outdoor learning environments
Sustainable agriculture practices
This expansion will allow us to deepen our connection to nature and healthy food systems while providing even more rich learning experiences for children.
