Language Arts • Art • Computer • Dance • Food Preparation • French • Gardening • Geography & Cultures • Mandarin • Math • Movement • Music • Outdoor Play • Practical Life • Science • Sensorial • Spanish • Yoga
The highly regarded preschool and Kindergarten programs that we offer are based on 40 years of experience working with young children and their families. The Kindergarten leadership program prepares our students to excel in the best schools; building strong academic skills, a cooperative approach to working with their teachers and peers and a love of learning.
The curriculum at Montessori School of Los Altos is founded on the classic Montessori principles with age and developmentally appropriate academic, social and creative activities to fulfill each child's potential in a beautiful and supportive environment. We follow the international Montessori curriculum established by Association Montessori Internationale (AMI).
All children receive lessons in the core areas of language, mathematics, geography, science, practical life, and sensorial development. Lessons in grace and courtesy, participation in group discussions, and learning to work as a team are also part of the education your child will receive. 
In addition, we incorporate computer work into the classrooms where we feature Montessori software, compatible with the overall educational goals of our program.
Your child's development is rounded out with lessons in art appreciation and hands on practice in many media; movement and dance, rhythm, song and an introduction to musical instruments as well as the chance to participate in many cultural activities and celebrations reflecting our diverse parent community.
French, Mandarin and Spanish language programs are available to our students. An introduction to a second or third language at a young age gives your child a strong foundation on which to build additional language skills.
Your child will thrive in our program, and will graduate well prepared for their next level of education. Contact us to join a tour of our school; we look forward to meeting you.
