A Preschool and Kindergarten in Union City, CA, running successfully since 30+ years, providing Montessori Style Early Childhood Education. Currently serving children age 2 through 6 years. For us, every child is unique and our amazing teachers know that care starts with making one-on-one connection with each child so they can know his/her specific needs and what matters for a child. This is how they help every new child become a part of (what we call) Adventure Montessori Academy (AMA) Family! Montessori style teaching, in fun way and by doing it, instead of just being told on what or how things are. Children learn from each other and teachers act as catalyst. Supervised indoor play introduced in the daily curriculum where there is learning every moment, every day and where teachers also continue learning from situations they see and this helps them as well get better and better over time. Age specific curriculums help us ensure our children keep loving what they do, continue learning and get solid foundation to (finally) get to Grade 1, as they grow with our care. We are a Childcare Center where both, the staff and management believe that Feedbacks are Blessings (good or bad). No one is perfect but we can always try and get closer to that by listening to our parents and learning from every situations. We would've never got to 4th decade of being in Union City, if it were not for our parent's love, support and their continuous feedbacks which enabled us to be here. Current Maximum Capacity: 60 children. And we're so excited for an Infant Center (kid's age 6 weeks to 2 years) with a target additional capacity of 36 kids coming by early 2026!!

Our program nurtures warm relationships among children, parents and the teachers.
