A Warm Beginning for Your Child
Montessori Children’s Center is a classical Montessori preschool and kindergarten for children aged 2 to 6, where each student’s evolution is nurtured individually, where families feel proactively supported, and where teachers are consistently well cared for.
Located in the Parkmerced neighborhood of San Francisco, California, we are dedicated to helping children feel that they belong in the world and that the world belongs to them.
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.
Our curriculum comprises Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math, Science, and Cultural Studies.
