We are an independent preschool that fully integrates Montessori philosophy with contemporary early childhood research and best practices to inspire young minds. In our classrooms, children are encouraged to follow their own interest, explore new ideas, and learn collaboratively with their peers.

When learning comes alive

  • "Since starting pre-K here, our son absolutely loves it! He comes home excited and is eager to go back to school. I love as a parent all the Enrichment Programs this school for their kids. Its amazing to see how much love, thought, and effort goes for the children."

    ~ Parents of Caleb

  • "Millbrae Montessori was such a warm and supportive place for our daughter. The staff and directors genuinely care about the kids—it always felt like family. Our daughter attended for two years, and even now, years later, we still stop by to say hello. That’s how special this school is. We’re so grateful for the strong foundation it gave her."

    .~ Benson H. Wong, DDS

  • “II feel so lucky to have found Millbrae Montessori. The loving environment and amazing teachers helped my shy son become confident and outgoing. Their program goes beyond academics—with arts, languages, and fun activities that my kids loved. It was an easy choice to send my daughter there too. Even now, my kids still want to visit—it truly feels like a second home.”

    ~ Parent of Matthew & Samantha

Our goals

Our Approach

We embrace the benefits of mixed-age classrooms, we encourage children to explore diverse areas of the curriculum within a carefully prepared environment. Through hands-on exploration and discovery, children engage thoughtfully designed Montessori materials and activities. These materials are intentionally arranged from left to right, moving from foundational to more advanced levels. As children confidently master each stage, new resources are introduced, fostering deeper understanding and continuous growth.
