Primary Community

Calaveras Montessori School offers parents the security of knowing that their children are receiving the best care and developmental guidance available.  Our goal is to nurture a healthy child: independent, self confident, social and motivated. 

Philosophy

Calaveras Montessori School is an enriched environment in which children can grow to fulfill their individual potential.

 Our School believes in the "whole child" approach to development.  Activities promote the development of social skills, emotional growth, and physical coordination as well as cognitive preparation for young children.

The preschool program is a Montessori curriculum incorporating art and music into the traditional emphasis on practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics, science, and cultural activities
