Where independence takes root- and little minds discover what they are made of.
Montessori inspired curriculum
Child Led work cycles, purposeful materials, and an environment designed to build real independence- not just school readiness.
Bilingual Education
Spanish and English woven through every day - songs, circle time, conversation- during the most powerful window for language development.
Creative Exploration
Art, music, natural materials, open ended play along side Montessori work- because children learn through joy too.
Welcome
A school that feels like home.
Growing Minds Montessori is a boutique preschool in San Francisco’s Ingleside district - and the neighborhoods only bilingual Spanish/ English Montessori program. We serve toddlers and preschoolers in a beautifully prepared environment where every child is known by name, honored as an individual, and given real freedom to grow.
We believe the years between two and five are not a warm-up for real learning. They are the real learning- some of the most important a person will ever do.
Come see what that looks like in practice.
Our Philosophy
We trust children.
Growing Minds Montessori Preschool follows Dr. Maria Montessori’s comprehensive approach to early education - a method built on the conviction that children are natural learners when given the right conditions. Our classrooms are engaging and calm , ordered and beautiful , structured and free.
“Our job as early educators is not to fill children with knowledge - it is to protect their love of learning long enough for it to become their own.”
We believe children learn in diverse ways, at their own pace, through exploration , discovery, and creativity. Every child who enters our doors deserves to feel seen, heard, understood and loved.
