Preschool
Discover an authentic Montessori school in the heart of Emeryville. Our preschool campus offers programs for infants (3 months) through kindergarten (6 years), where children experience an authentic Montessori environment. Our trained teachers have created beautifully prepared spaces. They, together with the assistant teachers and after school staff, are a passionate group of educators eager to make your child's first school experience joyful and rewarding. Our loft-like spacious preschool building, a converted former warehouse, features purpose-built classrooms, with child-height sinks, small toilets, bright windows and direct access to the outside from each classroom. In the back of the building, secured from the street via fencing and sturdy stores, children play on a natural play area, complete with grass, a sandbox, and a hill with a slide. A rooftop deck excites children with gardening boxes and a tricycle path. Infants have a cozy separate play area all their own. On rainy days, all children enjoy access to an indoor gross motor area, complete with climbing wall, which is also a great place for active after school programs, such as yoga and gymnastics. For toddlers and preschool, you can choose between an English language Montessori program, or a Mandarin immersion program, where the entire Montessori experience is delivered in Mandarin Chinese. Infants experience a bilingual program (with both Mandarin-speaking and English-speaking staff). Whether you are an English monolingual, looking for a more global education, or a Chinese-speaker who wants to help your child to learn Chinese in a more joyful way, we invite you to discover Mandarin Montessori at LePort.

ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS ARE PART-TIME, either 2 or 3 days per week, with specific schedules listed below. At Broadway Children's School, our play-based programs reflect the belief that every child is unique and special, and we nurture and encourage that sense of individuality so that each child will develop within his or her own framework. In a caring and playful environment, we work to help each child develop competency in the social, emotional, intellectual, creative selves that make the whole child. We combine child-centered learning with parent enrichment, cultivating a committed community that offers families a bedrock of support, knowledge-sharing and friendship. We strive to serve a school community that reflects and celebrates the unique and beautiful diversity of the East Bay. It is a wonderful place to learn and grow together! Our indoor space is broken up into many diverse learning spaces for children to explore, and many activities (art, sensory activities, play sets, and pretend play) vary by day. Our large outdoor yard includes play structures, a bike path (with bikes and scooters), a playhouse, a sand area, a jumping tire, and other rotating activities such as a water table, extra large building blocks, tunnels, etc. Students must generally be the age indicated by September 1. The regular school year runs from late August to early June. (Annual tuition amounts listed are for the regular school year programs.) We also offer a Summer School program for current students, usually for five weeks during the summer. Our 4-year-old class (Rainbow Room) meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 AM to noon, with optional extended care from noon to 3. Three teachers (with additional support from the School Director) supervise up to 21 children in this program. Annual tuition for 2022-2023 is $6250, payable in ten monthly installments, with an annual fee of $175. Scheduled extended care is $12.50/hour.

At OCMS, we’re reimagining early childhood education as a space for liberation, cultural affirmation, and joyful discovery. We offer a warm, in-home learning environment where children ages 18 months to 4 years are deeply seen, supported, and empowered to grow into confident, compassionate thinkers. Our approach is inspired by Montessori principles—but we take it further. We center the lived experiences of families who have long been excluded from this type of nurturing education. We honor identity, encourage creativity, and create space for children to develop critical thinking, empathy, and self-trust from the very beginning. Here, children are free to explore, make choices, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways. We guide with love, set boundaries with intention, and foster a rhythm that supports each child’s natural development. This is not school as usual. This is education for justice. This is learning that heals and uplifts. You can also visit our website at www.fbeschools.org
