Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22nd to bring awareness to environmental issues while encouraging people to take action to protect the planet. Protecting, caring for, and respecting our planet is of the utmost importance. At LAPMS, teaching our students a love for our planet is something that we practice year-round. Many of our students have experienced gardening, lessons on recycling, and actively learn about geography, botany, and zoology during cultural studies. Although Earth Day is every day, we love participating in this holiday and showing some extra love to our beautiful planet. We encourage you to partake in Earth Day with these three activities at home! [Read more…] about Earth Day at Home

Nestled in the heart of Sunnyvale, our Montessori school is not just a place of learning; it’s a haven where young minds flourish, curiosity thrives, and the seeds of a lifelong love for education are sown.

Through hands-on activities, engaging projects, and personalized guidance, we ensure that each child is not only academically prepared but also excited about their educational journey.
One of the cornerstones of our approach is the emphasis on independence and individualized learning. We recognize that every child is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and pace of learning. Our experienced educators guide children to become independent thinkers, encouraging them to explore, question, and discover at their own speed. This approach not only builds confidence but also instills a sense of responsibility for one’s own learning.
Our Sunnyvale campus boasts state-of-the-art facilities that create an enriching and stimulating environment. Spacious classrooms filled with natural light, well-equipped STEM labs, and inviting outdoor spaces provide the perfect backdrop for a dynamic learning experience. We believe that the learning environment plays a crucial role in shaping a child’s educational journey, and our Sunnyvale campus is designed with this principle in mind.
We are excited to announce that enrollment is now open for our Sunnyvale campus. Parents and guardians are invited to schedule tours, meet our dedicated staff, and experience firsthand the warmth and vibrancy of our learning community. Spaces are limited, so early enrollment is encouraged to secure a spot for your child in this transformative educational experience.
Our new Sunnyvale campus is more than just a school; it’s a place where the seeds of curiosity are nurtured, and the roots of knowledge run deep. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we empower young minds to become confident, independent learners ready to take on the challenges of the future.
