50 EL CAMINO DR CORTE MADERA, CA

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.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Fairfax, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Fairfax, CA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Fairfax, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Fairfax, CA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Fairfax, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in Fairfax, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
