Here at the Montessori Children’s Center, we believe in letting the child’s spirit guide us. It is our goal to help children develop and nurture their intrinsic love of learning, their independence, and their sense of community. In the process, we hope to aid them in becoming lifelong learners.
The school serves children ages 2–6. We provide a full range of Montessori materials and activities in both classrooms. During the day, children are guided in their use of the Montessori teaching materials by the teachers and staff. A typical day also includes play time outside, group activities, and a morning and afternoon snacks. The school also offers optional classes in music and sign language.
The school has two classrooms, with children of mixed ages in each. MCC offers both a full-day and half-day program, as well as childcare before and after school. The full-day program hours are 8:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m., and the half-day program hours are from 8:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Half-day enrollment is limited to children under 3. Children are required to attend the school five days a week.
Located in picturesque Park Merced in the southwest corner of San Francisco, the school is housed in state-of-the-art facilities in a quiet neighborhood. Founded in 1976, the MCC has been serving the children and families of San Francisco for 40 years.
