Dusterberry Fremont Campus

Learn And Play Montessori School acknowledges the importance of equity in education and strives to give all our students the tools needed to succeed. All our campuses, from Hercules to Sunnyvale, give each child the individual attention needed to learn and discover while developing core values such as honesty, integrity, empathy, compassion, and kindness. Our classrooms, prepared by Montessori-certified and trained teachers, offer hands-on tools for each child at every stage of development.

Equity is achieved in our classrooms through providing support based on a student’s needs, recognizing diversity such as the value of a student’s strengths and challenges, being inclusive, and building relationships with our students and families. Every day, we put our Learn And Play Montessori School value, Equity, into action. Here are a few examples of how we bring equal access to top-notch learning, removing barriers and creating a level playing field.

1. Tailored Learning

Montessori activities are designed to follow a child’s progress, fostering an inclusive and equitable classroom where all students can thrive. During math class, our students are introduced to Montessori Number Rods to understand numbers, quantity, and measurement. Once they are confident with these materials, they move on to adding number cards. This addition allows them to have a visual representation of number symbols. Learn And Play Montessori Schools recognize that children learn at their own pace. Our teachers provide differentiated instruction and support to assist everyone’s needs.

2. Addressing Social-Emotional Needs

Social-emotional learning (S.E.L.) is a critical part of our curriculum, as it is our goal to help guide individuals outside of core academics. Addressing social-emotional topics during a child’s early years –regardless of their background– ensures their understanding of emotions, giving them the tools to communicate and advocate for themselves. Building a child’s voice and confidence empowers them to speak with parents and teachers when they need support. S.E.L. creates self-assured individuals who can express their needs, giving LAPMS insight into when a child needs help.

3. Building a Sense of Community

All our LAPMS campuses work on building a strong sense of community where our students and families alike feel valued, connected, and respected. Being able to form a community and bond allows our educators to provide the best support possible. From your first conversation with our enrollment team to attending orientation and beyond, LAPMS is here for you every step of the way.

Our goal is to give each child the individualized attention needed to learn. We achieve this goal by providing an enriching environment for each student, regardless of their background. Our school value, equity, aligns with the Montessori philosophy that our schools are centered around. To Learn And Play Montessori School, our community is strengthened and enlightened by the diversity and uniqueness of all our students and families we have the honor of serving.
