Montessori School of San Francisco

Really great place for kids from a young age to toddlers. Very professional and well arranged. Good activities for kids, and my son is actually learning things.

Love their educational philosophy. Very friendly staff caring for the kids.

We decided to send our 4 month old daughter here and she has been thriving. It was nerve racking to pick a school for her since she is so little. We did a super thorough research of all daycares in Presidio / Cow Hollow / Sunset / Pac Heights / Japantown. We went to visit several ones in person. Ms.Vasi (the school owner and administrator) did a wonderful job with the school, it feels cozy, homey, yet organized and functional. They accept infants as young as 3 months old - as soon as I met one of the infant teachers, Ms. Estela, I knew I had found my place. When I visited, all the infants were held and entertained and happy. Ms. Estela is extremely sweet and calm. I also really liked that the school has several classes (including a dedicated outdoor space) with kids of different ages (up to 4 or 5 years old I believe), so that kids can interact with children of all age ranges. They were very willing to work with the schedule that my daughter is on (very important to us).<br><br>Parking is really easy, hours are GREAT (7:30AM to 6PM, best in San Francisco based on my research), rates are reasonable, it&#39;s not one of those daycares that are always closed - the only downside is that it&#39;s a bit old school so don&#39;t expect a fancy app to communicate with the teachers - it&#39;s paper notes and phone calls. Overall, super happy with them.

Our daughter has been at Montessori of SF for almost two years. We transitioned her quickly at the age of 13 months after a big disappointment with our nanny. She loves coming to &#34;school&#34; and is thriving in terms of development. She comes home with new skills,&#39;interests and words every day. Her social skills are blossoming. Ms Vasi and all the teachers are friendly, warm and very attentive to my daughter&#39;s needs and supportive of our family. They have helped us through potty training, tantrums, a move, arrival of a new sibling- always with the utmost patience, experience and a tailored approach based on my daughters personality and developmental stage. They have taught me a lot about parenting and how to best work with my toddler ! Above all, It is clear to me that Ms Vasi and the teachers cherish my daughter for who she is and recognize her potential and to me that it is the most important thing that an educator can do to support a child&#39;s development!
