The children of Early Bird Montessori are the leaders of tomorrow. As an AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) recognized preschool in Castro Valley, our goal is to nurture and expand the minds of young children by providing a safe and peaceful environment. We believe in the Montessori philosophy, which supports the child's cognitive, social emotional and physical development.
At Early Bird Montessori we value cultural diversity. Our teachers are dedicated to supporting and encouraging the growth of each individual child.
Our Montessori program helps your child achieve Predictable Results.
Confidence: The Montessori system utilizes an integrated approach to learning, which allows each student to shine by choosing the tools that suit his or her strengths.
Love of Learning: The hands-on, active nature of Montessori lessons make the acquisition of knowledge immediately accessible and empowering, as well as useful in real-world situations.
Independence: The Montessori environment is prepared so that the appropriate materials are at the child’s level. This enables the child rather than make him or her constantly dependent upon an adult.
Creative reasoning: Students who are asked to examine ideas learn to question and appreciate subtleties, in the process developing skills, creativity, and leadership needed in the adult world.
Research skills: Montessori students develop an understanding of what cognitive tools exist, where to find them, and how to use them. When students are asked to do their own fact-finding and report the results, they learn to locate the information they need and put it to work in context.
Teamwork: The collaborative learning structure in the Montessori method produces strong individuals who function well in a group, can problem-solve with others, and who understand interdependence.
Academic excellence: Montessori believes in the child’s natural abilities and utilizes materials that are designed to maximize each level of development, producing students who routinely execute well beyond expected academic standards for their age or grade level.
An open door to the universe: Students are given the gift of a sense of possibility, reflecting Dr. Maria Montessori’s belief that every child is filled with infinite potential, and that the right developmental tools and instruction will liberate the growing person.
