Montessori
Preschool
Harmony Montessori is a small, independent preschool in Marin County. At Harmony, we believe in cultivating a deep appreciation of and connection to the natural world and its preservation. We use nature as a tool throughout our curriculum. The earth – her seasons, plants, and creatures – inform our studies. We delight in our amazing natural landscape and ecosystem. We take pride in promoting our Harmony children’s sense of stewardship for the environment as one of our most important values. The heart of Harmony Montessori is to make a positive impact on society by nurturing children to be kind, respectful, responsible, and contributing members of their community. Our program provides an environment that is wholly nurturing and respectful to the child; each child is valued individually and is free to learn independently at his or her own pace. Harmony Montessori invites children to develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

Preschool
At Corte Madera Montessori, our goal is to help each child flourish and thrive in their own unique way. Every child comes with their own individual interests, capabilities, and personality. We value and respect the children in our school for who they are today and who they will become. We believe that children learn best when they get to follow their interests and engage with stimulating and thoughtful hands-on materials. Our teachers are trained in the Montessori philosophy which fosters a joy of learning, supports independence, and enables creative exploration. The Montessori curriculum includes learning to read and write, understanding and working with numbers, the arts, and knowledge of science, nature and geography. We also believe that children are happiest when they feel like valuable contributors to their communities. Whether helping a friend or taking care of the classroom, we provide children with opportunities to take responsibility for themselves and others. Children develop empathy, kindness, and respect for the things and people in their environment. This mission and philosophy has guided Corte Madera Montessori since Daniel Sapien founded the school in 1992. Daniel continues to be a meaningful part of the school, playing his guitar for the children, teaching children chess, and planning our school wide celebrations like Halloween and Earth Day.
