About this preschool

Oakland Montessori School combines Maria Montessori's principles with current developmental research to help young children build a strong foundation for success and creativity in a culturally diverse community. The school emphasizes skills such as participation, leadership, problem-solving, creative thinking, perseverance, and focus.

Philosophy
Combining current research on children's developmental needs and Maria Montessori's proven principles, we guide children to develop the emergent skills for success they will need in the future: participation and leadership, problem-solving, creative thinking, perseverance, and focus. Our OMS environment is specifically designed and prepared to generate creativity, promote confidence and independence, and build trust.
