About this preschool

Merced Montessori School serves children ages 2-5 years using Montessori methodology. The school has been operating since 1978 and focuses on developing the whole child through independence, coordination, and community awareness.

Philosophy
We believe in developing the whole child by encouraging independence, coordination, empathy towards others, and helping the children to become more aware of their environment and to begin to realize that they are a part of a larger community. The goal of Merced Montessori School is to prepare a child for real life rather than just for school.
