Building Future Innovators: San Carlos’ New Montessori + STEM School

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming innovative Montessori + STEM school in the beautiful city of San Carlos, CA! Starting this fall, our school will be accepting children from ages 2 to 6 years old. Nestled in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Peninsula, San Carlos is home to many professionals who value high-quality education for their children, and we are here to meet that need with a unique curriculum that blends Montessori principles with STEM education.

A Unique Curriculum for a Bright Future

teacher and preschoolers in San Carlos, CaliforniaOur curriculum stands out because we combine the time-tested Montessori approach with modern STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts. This blend ensures that our students are not only grounded in practical life skills but are also introduced to crucial STEM topics at an age-appropriate level. This prepares them for the future and helps them navigate the ever-changing job market with confidence.

Montessori Education: Building Strong Foundations

The Montessori method emphasizes hands-on learning, self-directed activity, and collaborative play. Our classrooms are designed to foster independence, curiosity, and a love of learning. Children engage in practical life activities that build fine motor skills, concentration, and a sense of responsibility. This strong foundation in personal development is crucial as they grow and face new challenges.

STEM Education: Preparing for the Future

Incorporating STEM into our curriculum allows us to introduce young children to the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a way that is engaging and accessible. Through interactive activities and age-appropriate projects, we nurture their natural curiosity and problem-solving skills. By doing so, we ensure that our students are not only ready for their academic journey but are also equipped with the skills needed for the future workforce.

Serving the San Carlos Community

San Carlos, often referred to as the “City of Good Living,” is a vibrant community located in the San Francisco Bay Peninsula. It is home to many professionals who work in various industries, including technology, healthcare, and finance. Our school aims to provide these families with an educational option that not only meets but exceeds their expectations.

We understand the importance of quality education in the early years, and our goal is to offer a program that supports the developmental needs of young children while also challenging them intellectually. By bringing our Montessori + STEM school to San Carlos, we are committed to educating the children of the professionals who work and live in this dynamic area.

Enrollment Information

Our school will be open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering various part-time, full-time, and after-school programs to accommodate the diverse needs of families. We invite interested parents to learn more about our programs and enroll their children to give them a head start in their educational journey.
