About Our School

Montessori School of Central Marin was established in 1974 .  Our school provides an extensive preschool through Kindergarten academic program.  The students and staff reflect the ethnic and cultural diversity of the community.  Our teachers are fully credentialed in the Montessori Method of education and philosophy.  In addition we offer a bilingual program with emphasis on the Spanish Language.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Montessori Schools is to support the development of each child’s potential based upon Dr. Montessori’s insights as to the nature of the child, the role of the directress, and the need for a prepared environment.  Staff development and parental services are provided to inform the adult how to best support the child’s development.  Resources and attention are placed on the child’s environment to optimize development.  The child is our focus.

Philosophy Statement

The child is naturally interested and curious about the world.  The child effortlessly absorbs knowledge about the world.  Additionally, the child has sensitive periods for movement, language and order that support further involvement in the world.  Within the context of an accepting and nurturing environment, the child’s natural tendencies to know the world are supported.
