Child care
Preschool
Kindergarten
Montessori School in Pleasanton, CA More than basic child care. We plant the seeds for a lifetime of learning in our daycare, preschool, and kindergarten school programs. By enrolling your child in a Montessori school, you give them the advantage of a lifelong love for learning. From day one, your child will be immersed in a prepared environment that will hone their innate curiosity. They will self-direct their studies and projects, with guidance from teachers only if they ask for it. As your child progresses, they will develop eight traits that are fundamental to an authentic Montessori experience: Independence — By self-directing their approach to curriculum, your child will learn how to take charge of other aspects in their lives, including selfcare. Acute Sensory Perception — The hands-on experience of a Montessori education will sharpen your child’s senses. Confidence — Your child’s confidence will build as they develop their own projects and explore new topics independently and in small groups. Academic Achievement — Because each child learns at their own pace, yours can spend extra time going deep into research, or move quickly through the curriculum. Self-Discipline — The child-driven curriculum requires your child to learn how to regulate themselves. Spiritual Awareness — By learning about cultural activities and the beliefs of other people, your child will become aware of the spiritual world around them. Intrinsic Motivation — Your child will be motivated to act without the promise of external rewards. Specifically, they will pursue learning for their own enjoyment. Responsible Citizenship — Classes are made of mixed ages, so older children can help their younger classmates. Your child will also learn how to communicate with people of different backgrounds and ages. “When a child is given a little leeway, he will at once shout, ’I want to do it!’ But in our schools, which have an environment adapted to children’s needs, they say, ‘Help me to do it alone.’” - Dr. Maria Montessori PhD.

The Learning Tree is a privately owned school serving students from eighteen months through kindergarten with an after school and summer camp program through first grade entry. Our philosophy is based on providing students with the opportunities, tools, and environment needed to become and remain confident, happy, and active participants in their ongoing adventures in learning. Enjoy watching your child in action on our closed circuit camera system - with live feed features such as zoom-in capability, High Definition Resolution, and 24hr access to provide you with a true piece of mind at no extra charge. We are committed to creating a supportive environment where young children can thrive. Our guidelines for positive guidance reflect this commitment and promote basic respect for the children in our care. Positive guidance encompasses all of the actions taken by teachers to develop self-fulfilling, productive, and socially acceptable behaviors in children. Adults should view discipline as an important aspect of teaching and learning while accepting children as they are. This aspect of a child’s development is viewed as a growth process, with each age and stage having its own characteristics, challenges, and needs. The following standards have been developed to create a caring environment that teaches children to behave in responsible ways and to feel good about themselves: Set realistic expectations for young children’s behavior, Create a ‘yes’ environment that encourages children’s positive behavior, Model appropriate behavior, Encourage children’s efforts to build feelings of self-worth, Give children alternatives to turn destructive situations into constructive ones, Use natural and logical consequences to motivate and empower children to make responsible decisions about their behavior, Encourage behaviors such as cooperating, helping, negotiating, and problem solving. At The Learning Tree, we value parents as our partners in guiding the children in our care. Frequent communication is key to building our relationship with the children and the parents in our program. In person communication, over the phone, app messages and email messages are available to parents daily and conferences are available on as needed basis.
