We have been a part of this school community for 3.5 years now, with my two oldest kids attending here, and we couldn't be happier! The staff is so welcoming, energetic, and patient. They do an amazing job of loving on your kids, while teaching them to be independent, too. I am so pleased with the Montessori program they run and am amazed at the things my kids come home saying they learned. The school teaches such a variety of topics to the kids - from units of study on every continent, science lessons, letters of the week,  to different languages, life skills, and yoga (my daughter's favorite). I'm so impressed with how well they meet the learning needs of all the students. Each child has an individualized notebook where they keep track of the child's progress and things they are learning. This approach served both my kids so well, as one learned quickly and could then explore more challenging content, while the other often needed more time and wasn't forced to move onto something new without mastery of a previous concept. We have loved the family potlucks, student concerts, and barbeques and will miss this community so much as our daughter goes off to kindergarten next year. Our youngest is currently attending their infant center and we are excited for him to start here when he gets older.

Fabulous find! The director is an engineer(a mommy first) who cares passionately about the Montessori curriculum & social & academic development of the children. We were so fortunate to come across this school after trying a chain & private owned preschools in the San Ramon/Pleasanton/Danville area. At one school, I was told my 4 year old was not prepared for Kindergarten. Once she started here, she was writing and doing multiplication in no time! I still have a box of work from both of my kids. Our 2 yr. old son advanced here socially and academically; the best part is that they both LOVED going to school here compared to the other part-time and full-time options we tried in the area. What a gem with the most nurturing, clean, stimulating environment! My son still talks about his "old school" and his teacher Rebecca almost 2 years later! We moved back east and have not yet found a school as good as this one, nor we will ever.

Our daughter is 4.5 year old and started TRIMONT(The Redwood International Montessori) 4 months ago.   Long story short, after 4 months, more than 2/3 of her behavioral items, such as tantrum, difficulty in listening instructions, sharing with friends, etc, have been fixed and I can tell that even at our home. Our daughter loves her school, and is happy to go there everyday. The director Ms. Annagi has almost 40 years of experience in Montessori education. Other teachers (Ms. Yessania, Ms. Laxmi, Ms. Evelyn) are also very experienced.  They know how to deal with problems of kids, and they guide kids to the right path without yelling or being frustrated. I saw that their tone of voice was calm but had discipline and charisma. Teachers are very communicative and always opened to discuss issues of children. If there&#39;s any issue, they give brief verbal report with advice when I pick her up. Also, the education of TRIMONT is well-balanced and well-organized. They give the monthly schedule filled with daily themes and focuses, and follow the schedule accordingly.  Of course since it&#39;s Montessori school, each student learns by their own pace when it comes to phonics, math and other Montessori work, but they all learn various topics together which covers science, culture, art, geography, season, etc. Our 4.5 year old daughter already reads Kindergarten-level books, recognizes and writes numbers from 1-50, can even complete addition and subtraction. When we had a private conference before Thanksgiving holidays, they gave us a thorough assessment sheet about our daughter.  We could easily understand her status and things she needs to learn more until Kindergarten. I&#39;m very satisfied with TRIMONT, and would definitely recommend this school to others in area.

Our daughter joined here this year. We adopted her earlier this year and at 5 she came to the US with no formal exposure to any form of schooling. When we spoke to Teacher Anagi, before deciding to send her to Redwood Intl Montessori, she was very confident that the Montessori way of teaching will be able to make a difference and help her adapt to the schooling system quickly. Within 4 months, our daughter has done so well under the care of Teacher Lakshmi, Teacher Yesenia and Teacher Evelyn. The teachers are compassionate, loving and very attentive towards the children. They are very thorough in their approach towards education and life in general. We are very sure that by the end of the school year, our daughter will be ready for first grade and beyond.
