Rising Sun Montessori School is an established preschool in the east bay community for the past fifteen years. We are a Montessori and play-based preschool serving children between the ages of two and 5 years old. We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We also offer an after School Program for kindergarteners 1:30 to 5:30 pm.

At Rising Sun Montessori School, we have two wonderful classrooms that both offer the love and nurturing care that feels like home. All of our teachers at Rising Sun Montessori School hold a college degree or Early Childhood college credits and have years of experience teaching and guiding young children. Everyday with the love and compassion for what they do makes for a safe and secure feeling for all our families.

The Little “Cub House” “LOS OSITOS” provides nurturing, loving and quality care for six to eight children between the ages of two and three years old. Due to a much smaller, cozy and intimate group, Los Ositos teachers are able to give individualized care, guidance, and aide younger children in the toilet training process.

The Early Learning Center differs from a traditional Montessori program in that we allow the child’s natural play and innate curiosity to spark the love of learning. Our classrooms feature a purposeful arrangement of learning materials in a warm, non-competitive environment. Hands-on activities help to create self-directed independence, as your child repeats an exercise, concentration develops and they gain confidence and a love of learning. The individualized freedom of self- expression allows each child to progress to his or her maximum potential at their own developmental rate.
