Exciting News from our Hercules Campus: Now Accepting Future Enrollments!

We’re thrilled to announce that Hercules Campus, our state-of-the-art educational facility, is gearing up to open its doors soon in the summer of 2024! While we don’t have a set opening date just yet, preparations are in full swing, and we can’t wait to welcome our first group of students.

Explore Our Montessori + STEM Curriculum

At Hercules Campus, we believe in nurturing curious minds through a unique blend of Montessori principles and STE

 

M (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. Our curriculum is designed to foster independent thinking, creativity, and a deep understanding of the world around us. We offer best-in-class childcare / daycare, preschool, kindergarten and after school programs in Hercules, California, – offerings may change, so be sure to contact our staff for a “school tour” and up-to-date information.

Why Montessori?

The Montessori method emphasizes self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. Children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process. It’s an approach that encourages curiosity and instills a lifelong love of learning.

The Power of STEM

In addition to our Montessori foundation, we integrate STEM education to prepare students for the future. Our STEM curriculum engages students in innovative projects that develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. We believe that this combination of Montessori and STEM creates a well-rounded, future-ready educational experience.
