Center Programs
Toddler
Our Toddler Montessori Program is a fun, loving, and respectful place for our youngest students to become independent and self-confident individuals. Our daycare and childcare programs are Montessori-inspired, and offer best-in-class daycare and childcare for toddlers in Fremont, Dublin, and Danville, California. We encourage them to explore their rich classroom environments by making their own choices from among a wide variety of developmentally appropriate materials.
Our resourceful Toddler classrooms promote language, math, practical life exercises, science, and the arts as well as fine and gross motor activities. Individual attention is paid to promoting each child’s emerging language skills and each child’s curiosity to explore all of the learning materials and the outdoors. The primary goal is to support the children’s physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth and to nurture their sense of being in a secure and stimulating environment.
Preschool
Our preschool program (available at our Danville, Fremont, and Dublin campuses) provides an enriching hands-on learning experience with specially formulated Montessori materials for math, language, sensorial exploration, practical life activities, art, science, second language, music, history, and geography.
Our preschool children develop observation and problem-solving skills. They are able to achieve this by manipulating, experimenting, and discovering through Montessori materials and prepared environment. Children begin to move from the concrete to the abstract as they prepare for the more complex studies used in our Montessori Kindergarten program.

Center Director
Lizette Suarez has been working in early child care for nine years with four and a half of those coming with Learn and Play Montessori School.
Her favorite thing about being a center director is watching children grow in confidence and independence, and knowing she plays a role in creating a safe, loving environment where that growth can happen every day.
