“Many years ago, my husband and I went through the ordeal of finding the ‘right’ pre-school for our eldest daughter. After visiting several pre-schools, we felt confident in choosing Burlingame Montessori.

Simply put, Sophia has a wonderful and positive pre-school experience. Burlingame Montessori not only prepared her academically, but it gave our shy and artistic daughter the confidence to socialize, the ability to be creative, and a love for learning.

When our second daughter was ready for pre-school, we enrolled her as well, giving her the same opportunities as her sister. Burlingame Montessori continues to set the right balance for our dauthters’ education: it remains an intimate learning environment that provides safety and comfort and yet does not restrict the children from exploring.

They offer a substantial curriculum – from the practical life approach of pouring water into cups, to the tactile simulation of the counting beads – which made my dauthters’ enrollment worthwhile. In addition, they developed an awareness of physical and cultural geography through music, art, rhymes and Spanish. Furthermore, the director and the entire staff’s warm and friendly disposition towards the children (and parents) is the key to the children wanting to discover the world around them. We were very fortunate to have both our daughters join the Burlingame Montessori family.

At the end of the day, we believe that the children from this school learn through challenged, through action, through curiosity, and most importantly, by having fun.” - Vivian Sanchez –
