We value and respect the children in our school for who they are today and who they will become.

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.

Parent education workshops, ongoing teacher education, and individual counseling with families are also integral parts of our program.
