50 years helping children discover, learn and grow, come to Montecito Preschool in Los Altos, California, andsee what makes us unique.
Human development clearly indicates that there are universal, predictable sequences of growth that occur during the first nine years of life. That is to say, all children learn certain skills and knowledge at particular stages. The timing for the learning is unique, based on a child's individual personality, background, and interest.
Our Preschool program is developmentally appropriate; it is based on the developmental research and each child's individual needs.
We plan a portion of each day that is free with many choices and only safety rules, play safely, be kind to others, and be careful with our toys and our school. Free time occurs at bike time, outdoor playtime, and free choice time in the classroom. We also plan structured times such as circle which is a large group time.
