San Anselmo Montessori, located at the old Red Hill Middle School site behind Red Hill Shopping Center, provides preschool and Kindergarten Montessori programs, along with after-school and summer programs.
Montessori philosophy allows children to learn at their own pace and explore the world around them. The goal is for kids to become independently interested in learning on their own.
The school also features an organic garden and brings in special instructors, like storytellers and music teachers. The Kindergarten class also takes field trips to places like the Planetarium and Slide Ranch.
Tuition is around $10,000 a year, and there is a discount for siblings. The application process includes a meeting with the student.
