About this preschool

Corte Madera Montessori is a Montessori-method preschool with Montessori-trained and credentialed teachers serving toddlers and preschool-aged children. The school emphasizes joyful learning through hands-on materials, individual interests, and children's roles as valued community contributors.

Philosophy
Every child comes to school with their own individual interests, capabilities, and personality. We value and respect the children in our school for who they are today and who they will become. Children learn best when they follow their interests and engage with stimulating and thoughtful hands-on materials. Children are happiest when they feel like valuable contributors to their communities.
