Center Programs
Infant
Our infant program provides a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where infants can develop trust, curiosity, and essential early skills during this critical stage of growth. Our program focuses on building strong emotional connections, sensory exploration, language development, and motor skill enhancement through age-appropriate activities.
We offer best-in-class infant daycare and child care with an approach that encourages exploration and natural learning. Our infant classrooms are warm, welcoming, and designed to foster independence and confidence through responsive care and individualized attention.
Toddler
Our Toddler Montessori Program is a fun, loving, and respectful place for our youngest students to become independent and self-confident individuals. Our daycare and childcare programs are Montessori-inspired, and offer best-in-class daycare and childcare for toddlers in Fremont, Dublin, and Danville, California. We encourage them to explore their rich classroom environments by making their own choices from among a wide variety of developmentally appropriate materials.
Our resourceful Toddler classrooms promote language, math, practical life exercises, science, and the arts as well as fine and gross motor activities. Individual attention is paid to promoting each child’s emerging language skills and each child’s curiosity to explore all of the learning materials and the outdoors. The primary goal is to support the children’s physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth and to nurture their sense of being in a secure and stimulating environment.
Preschool
Our preschool program (available at our Danville, Fremont, and Dublin campuses) provides an enriching hands-on learning experience with specially formulated Montessori materials for math, language, sensorial exploration, practical life activities, art, science, second language, music, history, and geography.
Our preschool children develop observation and problem-solving skills. They are able to achieve this by manipulating, experimenting, and discovering through Montessori materials and prepared environment. Children begin to move from the concrete to the abstract as they prepare for the more complex studies used in our Montessori Kindergarten program.
Transitional Kindergarten
Learn and Play Montessori gives the children an opportunity to grow their academic skills in our Enhanced Transition>al Kindergarten (ETK) program with a traditional approach to learning.
Our curriculum is designed at a higher learning standard than the average state program. The average transitional kindergarten child will be learning letters and numbers. On the other hand, at Learn And Play, the Montessori work time allows the children to work at their own pace with concrete materials to abstract, which will help their knowledge become permanent. Our children get introduced to worksheets and book reports to enhance their learning in a traditional form to prepare them for the kindergarten year.
Kindergarten
The Kindergarten curriculum closely follows the principles of Montessori education. Our holistic approach to education is evident as we support the opportunities for development socially, physically, intellectually and emotionally for each child. Children are able to move on when ready for a new challenge. Therefore, lessons are presented in small groups to the children and through observation, the teacher determines when the child has internalized a concept and is ready for a new concept.The Kindergarten year highlights critical thinking, independence, comprehension, and preparedness for elementary.
