Center Programs
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.
