Montessori
Child care
Montessori in the City, Inc. has operated this school since February, 1999. Our goal is to create a wonderful learning environment for the children who attend our school. Our relationships with the children, parents and our staff are key components for a quality school. The Montessori philosophy is based on encouraging children to feel important, self-reliant and independent in a nurturing environment. The indoor environment focuses on the academics and exhibits order, concentration, coordination and independence. Each child is able to progress at his or her own pace when working with the materials in the classroom. The classroom gives the children a sense of pride and responsibility. We feel that the outdoor environment is also very important to the child. Our outdoor play yards are specifically tailored to meet the needs of each age group. Our yards include several activities including the climbing gym and slide, sandbox and several riding toys. Also, when the weather is appropriate, the children get to enjoy water play and gardening. We hold several events during the school year when parents and extended family members are always invited. We feel that it is important to include family in all of our school events which brings a sense of cohesion and commitment, along with dedication, within our school. Preschool 2 1/2 through 5 years Toddler 18 months-2 1/2 years Infant 6 weeks-18months 5 day schedule is Monday- Friday 3 day schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Friday ( these are set days) 2-day schedule is Tuesday, Thursday ( these are set days) For more information you can visit our website at www.montessoriinthecity.com

Child care
EmpowerME Preschool and Childcare programs make quality early childhood education accessible to all young children, by making it affordable, even on a single income budget. The same level of quality care is extended to school-age children on all days that school is closed. The home-like environment, emphasis on values and culturally responsive programming encourage self-expression and emphasize social-emotional development, ensuring children become positive members of the community. Our approach to providing quality preschool ensures children will successfully transition to kindergarten, both meeting the California Preschool Guidelines for pre-academic attainment and because children are empowered to name their emotions, negotiate conflict, act independently, and communicate their needs– all skills that are crucial as they enter a learning environment with higher expectations and teacher: student ratios. Our school-age Non-School Day care programs continue nurturing our children by: diving deeper into our values and creating opportunities for them to demonstrate those values in peer interactions, while also, maintaining bonds created in earlier EmpowerME environments. Designed to be a safe, fun, affordable resource to working families, we are currently enrolling for our Preschool Program and a Pre-K/Kinder Program. EmpowerME's warm, nurturing environment, works in partnership with families to provide individualized learning that supports your child's development. Our Preschool Classroom serves children ages 2 and up (must be potty trained). Highlights of the preschool program include: -Values-reinforcement activities to build positive members of the community -Cognitive, emotional, social, physical and language skill development that produces a lifelong love of learning -Introductory curriculum for letters, numbers, shapes, colors, writing, math and science in alignment with California Preschool Learning Foundations -Play-based environment with intentional learning activities -Healthy morning & afternoon snacks -Flexible schedules and enrollment options Our All Day-Pre-K/Kinder classroom is perfect for 4/5/6 year-olds who are mastering skills for kindergarten entry (as determined by the California Preschool Learning Guidelines) AND kindergarteners in need of supplemental learning during before and after school childcare. Highlights of the program include: -Values-reinforcement activities to build positive members of the community -Curriculum in alignment with California Preschool Learning Foundations and Core Knowledge -Language Arts to ensure a successful transition to/ completion of Kindergarten -Regular assessments in alignment with California Preschool Learning Foundations -Play-based environment with intentional learning activities -Healthy morning & afternoon snacks -Flexible schedules and enrollment options
