About this preschool

Montessori de Terra Linda offers AMI Montessori education for children ages 2 through 6th grade, organized into Pre-Primary (ages 2-3), Primary (ages 3-6), and Elementary (ages 6-12) programs. Students remain with the same teacher for three-year cycles to build deep relationships and experience different roles within the classroom.

Philosophy
Montessori education prepares students for life by nurturing a love of learning, forming foundational academic skills, building confidence, sparking imagination, engaging in divergent thinking, and inspiring lifelong learners. The approach emphasizes helping children develop independence with the phrase 'Help me do it myself.'
