Learn and Play® Montessori San Jose Campus

Daycare

Daycare is a critical experience for every child. Daycare is a time when the child is beginning to learn about the world, in earnest, and experience self-confidence as well as learn to play well with others. We consider “daycare” and “childcare” to be conceptually the same program: beginning at about 18 months and going up to the start of preschool learning. Most children are “potty trained” and our programs work – in age appropriate ways – to weave in both Montessori and STEM concepts. All children are “wired” for learning, and our staff enjoys the opportunity to make an impression in your child’s developmental journey.

Our daycare program is –

• More than just Daycare: We set the foundation for a love of learning via the “Montessori Method,” where age-appropriate.
• STEM-orientation: We recognize that many Bay Area parents want their children to have a foundation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Accordingly, we weave in STEM learning in age appropriate ways. We see learning as a continuum from the earliest moments into well into adulthood.
• Convenient Hours: Our Daycare hours are early and late, convenient for busy Bay Area parents. Check with the staff at your desired locations for current hours and how our procedures work.
• Convenient Locations: Our Daycare programs are in Fremont, Dublin, Milpitas, and Danville. We have a new state-of-the-art campus in Centerville (Fremont). We’re convenient to I-680 and I-880, making it ideal for busy commuters.
• Step-by-step Program: our Daycare program leads easily into our best-in-class preschool and kindergarten programs, all based on Montessori techniques.

Child Care

Child care is a critical experience for every child. Child care is a time when the child is beginning to learn about the world, in earnest, and experience self-confidence as well as learn to play well with others. Our teachers and staff adore the youngest among us and cherish the opportunity to start at the very beginning of a little one’s learning experience.

Our child care program is –

• More than just child care: We set the foundation for a love of learning via the “Montessori Method,” where age-appropriate.
• STEM-focused: In age-appropriate ways, we introduce the most basic learning concepts. Our goal throughout the child’s education is to set a foundation for lifetime learning including the basic foundation.
• Convenient Hours: childcare hours are early and late, convenient for busy Bay Area parents. Check with our staff for current hours by location.
• Convenient Locations: Our child care programs are in Fremont, Dublin, Danville, and Milpitas (coming soon). We’re expanding locations, including a state-of-the-art Centerville campus, so please check with staff as to opening schedules. We’re convenient to I-680 and I-880, making it ideal for busy commuters.
• Step-by-step Program: Our child care program leads easily into our best-in-class preschool and kindergarten programs, all based on Montessori techniques.

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.

Kindergarten

Bay Area parents, today, from Danville to Dublin, San Ramon to Blackhawk, Fremont to Walnut Creek and everywhere in between want the best for their kids. Many come to us looking, first, for the best kindergarten in Danville, or a private kindergarten in San Ramon, and then discover the Montessori method. Others already know that they want a Montessori Kindergarten, and then look for one that is both highly rated and convenient to their home in Diablo, Blackhawk or San Ramon. Use this page to learn about our Montessori Kindergarten curriculum.

The Kindergarten curriculum closely follows the principles of Montessori education. Our holistic approach to education is evident as we support the opportunities for development socially, physically, intellectually and emotionally for each child. Children are able to move on when ready for a new challenge. Therefore, lessons are presented in small groups to the children and through observation, the teacher determines when the child has internalized a concept and is ready for a new concept.The Kindergarten year highlights critical thinking, independence, comprehension, and preparedness for elementary.
