Located very close to the heart of Silicon Valley, The Redwoods International Montessori School, (TRIMONT) absorbs the vibrant culture of its international inhabitants. TRIMONT is a sanctuary of child centered calm in the midst of an ever changing, bustling and innovative world. The vision of TRIMONT is to enrich the lives of children on a daily basis, develop a love for learning and discovery in an integrated social and academic environment. Each child has unique abilities, and we aspire to partner with families to ensure that each child will receive the tools he/ she needs to attain their full potential. Montessori is a method of observing and supporting the natural development of children. This approach allows our children to develop creativity, problem solving, social and time management skills. Simultaneously they become observers of their world and learn to contribute to their society and their environment. TRIMONT also emphasizes that we are all part of a global family and learning about other countries, cultures and people is important.

We're a small high top performing preschool that is located in the park. Our preschool specializes in the Performing Arts where children learn music, dance and theater. Your preschooler will truly love our environment and curriculum. Our philosophy is to develop the whole child in all aspects of their young lives. Children between the ages of 2 and 6 develop physical coordination, formulate and combine ideas, are able to learn more complex games, and begin the journey of learning about themselves and each other. Being playful while learning is the best way to help children to remember and later apply concepts they have learned. Play and performing arts are stitched throughout our daily activities. Foreign language is introduced and expanded upon throughout our preschool curriculum. Our teachers provide individual attention to support every child’s unique needs. Our preschool curriculum allows our children to thrive and introduces language, math, science, and social skills in a way that encourages learning at every child’s own pace. Our children strengthen their cognitive and social skills with fun memory games and team activities which combine creative expression with a tactile experience in a group setting. Math and science skills are developed with hands-on experiences and supported by elements of the performing arts. Language experiences are introduced with performing arts integration to support accelerated literacy and language development. Let's learn together!
