About this preschool

Mountain View-Los Altos Montessori Children's Center is a Montessori-based program that uses prepared classroom environments with materials in science, math, language, geography, and art to support child-led learning. The school emphasizes developing self-esteem and intrinsic motivation in children ages 0-6, focusing on observable interests and needs rather than academic acceleration.

Philosophy
Children are challenged, stimulated, and inspired to grow in a prepared environment. The school prioritizes developing strong self-esteem and enjoyment of school, recognizing that ages 0-6 are critical for forming lifelong values. Materials progress from simple to complex and are presented based on children's observable interests and needs, with self-motivation as the impetus for learning.
