Welcome to Montessori Children’s Center
We offer programs for children ages 2 to 6
A warm beginning for your child
Montessori Children’s Center is a classical Montessori preschool and kindergarten located in San Francisco, serving children ages 2 to 6.
We believe the early years quietly shape how a child comes to know themselves and the world around them. We want to see “the world placed gently in their hands” so they can feel they belong to the world and that the world belongs to them.
The way a child is spoken to, the choices they are trusted to make, and the respect they feel each day all become part of who they grow into as adults.
Our Montessori classrooms offer a calm, thoughtful environment where children build independence, focus, and a genuine love of learning, guided by teachers who are trained to meet each child where they are.
A Trusted Montessori School Since 1976
Montessori Children’s Center has served San Francisco families for 50 years.
Located in the Parkmerced neighborhood, our school has welcomed generations of children into a peaceful Montessori environment rooted in care, respect, and consistency.
We are reopening in 2026 with a new teaching team, honoring the school’s long legacy while renewing our spaces and operations for today’s families.
Our Montessori Program
We are a classical Montessori preschool and kindergarten serving children ages 2 to 6.
Our program includes multi-age classrooms, consistent daily rhythms, and learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom and into nature. Families are supported as partners, teachers are well cared for, and children are given the time and space they need to grow with confidence.
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”
